How Tarantino Capitalizes on one of His Unique Writing Skills.

By: Camden Schrickel

Hey guys, welcome back to Talkin’ Tarantino and today we are going to talk about another one of Tarantino’s Directing Styles which is Dialogue Driven scenes.

Dialogue driven scenes, another popular style Tarantino tries to utilize in all his films, are pretty obvious, they are scenes that have little to no action and are almost completely progressed by dialogue between the characters. A popular use of this in one of his films is Reservoir Dogs, although it is used in pretty much every one of his films i think it is most popularly and well used in Reservoir Dogs.

This movie starts off with a dialogue driven scene in the diner when they are all chatting, and Mr. Pink has the famous “I don’t tip” monologue. After that the movie pretty much continues to have a lot of these dialogue driven scenes mainly set in the warehouse where they are hiding out. In this warehouse we have multiple iconic scenes like the torture scene set to Hip to Be Square. We also have the revealing of Mr. Orange as an undercover cop and Mr. White killing him while being killed in the process.

I think he uses dialogue driven scenes because they can help move a story along a lot smoother and show different peoples personalities throughout the film. It also helps showcase Tarantino’s impeccable writing.

Anyways that's all for the blog today thank you all for reading and I hope you'll tune in next time where I'll go over another one of his directing styles; Violence and Stylistic Bloodshed.

Why Tarantino Directs His Films in Chapters

By: Camden Schrickel Hey guys, welcome back to Talkin’ Tarantino and today we are going to talk about one of Quentin Tarantino’s Signature Directing Styles. The Style I'm going to go over is Non-Linear Formatting and Non-Chronological Order. Non-linear formatting and Non-Chronological Order are styles that show a story broken into different chapters almost like a novel and moved around out of chronological order but then all connected together in the final chapter of the film. The most popular example of this in his films is Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction revolves around 4 different stories: Honey Bunny & Pumpkin, Jules & Vince, and Butch and Fabienne, and Marcellus and Mia. 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
