Three-thousand and two, seven-hundred and forty-six, four-hundred and ninety-one, thirteen, three. Without units, these values serve no purpose. Without an explanation, a title serves no purpose. The value and the title are meaningless. Flipping through the chapter index of The Body Reader, I searched for an article title that immediately grasped my attention. Though few immediately truly told their story, the most simplistic one reached toward me begging for my attention: “Scars”. Personally, I…

Quentin Tarantino’s work of director as a DJ Reservoir Dogs is Quentin Tarantino’s first film as a director and it became really huge. The film was made partly by reappropriating Ringo Lam’s film City on Fire, but it was better than City on Fire and became a classical one. While Ringo Lam’s film City on Fire was a typical Hong Kong feature film which included gangster loyalty, cops’ infighting and beauties, Reservoir Dogs was more like an artwork, a masterpiece. It jumped out of the threadbare…

an auteur. Wollen implied that when determining who was an auteur or not, that a structural system would be best because it is scientific and objective and can recognise when a director’s personal style and genre can change.

When I think about Quentin Tarantino I think about Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Django Unchained, Kill Bill, Inglorious Bastards—all amazing films worth recognizing. I feel like Quentin Tarantino has talent; he’s gifted and knows how to put a film together for the enjoyment of the audience. ‘The Hateful Eight’ has an amazing cast with Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh and even Channing Tatum is in this film. Tarantino definitely does not have an issue finding A-list actors…

Bill: Volume 1 is about a woman and her journey for vengeance against the people who killed her husband and her friends. The film benefits from auteur criticism because the director, Quentin Tarantino, has a very unique style that he uses in not only this film, but in all of his films. For example, Quentin Tarantino uses the use of tracking shots to his full extent. In Kill Bill: Volume 1, he uses a tracking shot when the Beatrix sneaks into a club bathroom. The tracking shot is used to follow…
Also, in Kill Bill, Tarantino works with the locations where it is hard to know with the places are real or they are CGI effects. This happens because Tarantino uses his editing style to create this feeling of fantasy mixed with the real actors creating an uncomfortable feeling which keep us asking to ourselves “What is real and what is not?” The props used are quite funny, because it reinforces this idea of fantasy. For example, in scenes when bodies start bleeding it feels like we are watching…
No One Says Quentin Tarantino's Dialogue Like Samuel L. Jackson Tiananmen Square. That's the only place people don't ask Samuel L. Jackson what they call a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese. Everywhere he goes Jackson finds fans quoting his quotes back at him, most notably from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Every year, a new group of teenagers come of age and discover Pulp Fiction.
