How Tarantino Utilizes Violence and Stylistic Bloodshed

By: Camden Schrickel

Hey guys, welcome back to Talkin’ Tarantino. My name is Camden Schrickel and today we are going to talk about another one of Tarantino’s Directing Styles which is his use of Violence and Stylistic Bloodshed

His use of violence and stylistic bloodshed is shown when he uses exaggerated or stylized fight scenes and an overabundance of gore in these scenes. The example I’m using for this one is Kill Bill Vol. 1, once again you can definitely see this used in almost all his films but Kill Bill Vol. 1 I feel like has the most stylistic scenes.

The main scene I feel like has the most stylistic bloodshed is the fight scene between The Bride and O-Ren Ishii and her minions. This fight has a lot of cool style choices from the set design to the music. It gives a Japanese samurai-esque vibe that fits this movie so well. Also, the exaggerated fighting with the minions where they just keep coming even though she’s slicing all of them apart, gives it that sense of absurdity that Tarantino loves to use in his action scenes.

Lastly, I believe he uses violence and stylistic bloodshed because everybody likes a good action movie, and he does it in the best way possible. He doesn't just make them bang bang pew pew kind of fight scenes he uses excessive gore and more exaggerative fights like in Kill Bill and Django Unchained.

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 the Friendship and Partnership of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.

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
