Quentin Tarantino
Influential Figures.
Thriller.
Quentin Jerome Tarantino
Born: 27/3/63
Knoxville , Tennessee, USA.
Quentin Tarantino who is possibly in my opinion one of the greatest directors of
this era. He has helmed several critically and financially successful films such
as ‘Reservoir Dogs’, ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Kill Bill’. Themes and techniques which
run through many of his flms are his Dutch element in his films: The opening
tune, "Little Green Bag", in Reservoir Dogs was performed by George Baker
Selection and written by Jan Gerbrand Visser who are both Dutch. The
character Freddy Newandyke, played by Tim Roth is a direct translation to a
typical Dutch last name, Nieuwendijk. This personal touch to his movies
reflects his individuality and personality which has made his movies so
important and special to directors to come.
A specific technique of his is to start most of him movies with a scene before
the main titles are shown. Frantic scenes are also often intercut with a
character taking their time and behaving methodically.
