Tarantino's Appreciation for Film Homages

By: Camden Schrickel

Hey guys, welcome back to Talkin' Tarantino and today we will be talking about Tarantino's appreciation of film and use of homages.

Tarantino's films are a goldmine of homages, that are seamlessly woven into his narratives. From the iconic to the obscure, he is bale to pay tribute to a multitude of genres, directors, and specific scenes. His love for the art of cinema really shines through with his attention to detail, and his ability to ensure that the homages feel like more than just a nod but more integral parts of his storytelling.

One of Tarantino's most popular homages is found in "Pulp Fiction" where he uses techniques from the French New Wave cinema and more specifically that of Jean-Luc Godard. This is shown with his use of a nonlinear narrative, the use of jump cuts, and his overall use of unconventional storytelling which is highly reminiscent of Godard's style. But Tarantino doesn't just pay an homage to that style he reinvents that style and makes it his own.

In "Kill Bill" Tarantino unleashes a ton of homages to martial arts films, spaghetti westerns, and exploitation cinema. He uses visual styles like that of Sergio Leone and kinetic fight scenes that are familiar to Bruce Lee's classics. Each frame is a tribute to genres that have fueled Tarantino's passion for filmmaking and allows his films to become kaleidoscopes of influences.

To recap we talked about Tarantino's love for the art of cinema and how he uses his love to pay homage to classic genres and styles. Anyways thanks for watching the blog and I hope you tune in next time where we'll talk about Tarantino's Cinematic Universe.

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
