Learn Everything You Need to Know About Quentin Tarantino Behind the Camera.

By: Camden Schrickel

Hello Everyone,

My name is Camden Schrickel, and I am a film major at Washburn University. My passion is to one day become a director and write for film or television. My father has always been enthralled by Tarantino films, one of his favorites being Reservoir Dogs, so I've been exposed to them for a very long time, and they are actually some of the movies that inspired me to want to become a writer and director. The style of his movies and the incredible writing has always captivated me and made me into the movie lover that I am today. With that being said Talkin' Tarantino is gonna be a video-blog that does a deep dive into the Director Quentin Tarantino and his incredible award-winning movies. I will talk about why his movies are so highly touted, how he creates and comes up with the remarkable scripts and ideas for his movies, and maybe settle once and for all if Pulp Fiction is the greatest movie of all time. So, I ask you all to please grab a cup of your favorite gourmet coffee (none of that stuff Bonnie buys) and join me on this journey that is Talkin' Tarantino.

A funny story my dad always tells me about when he first saw Pulp Fiction in the theater is after the Honey Bunny and Pumpkin scene in the diner in the beginning my dad and his friend turned to each other in awe of what they just saw and when he went home to tell my mom about

Tarantino's Ability to Make Memorable Characters.

By: Camden Schrickel Hey guys, welcome back to Talkin' Tarantino and today we are going to be talking about Quentin Tarantino's remarkable ability to make well polished and memorable characters. One staple of Tarantino's characters is his use of unconventional development. He isn't afraid to break away from traditional character arcs and instead creating a more multi-dimensional character and ones that tend to be more morally ambiguous. For example, Vincent Vega from " Pulp Fiction " or the Bride in " Kill Bill ," these characters aren't easily categorizable because they blur the lines between hero and anti-hero which then gives the viewers a chance to make their own decision on the characters morality. Tarantino also has a knack for giving his character distinct voices. The dialogue he is able to write is sharp, witty, and filled with cultural references which helps his characters become more memorable. A couple of examples of this
