. Comment ")
No matter from the perspective of watching the excitement or the perspective of professionalism, Quentin Tarantino's works can always give people different degrees of satisfaction. He is talented, he is familiar with all kinds of film languages and film genres, but he has never been bound by any rules. His works are never perfect, always with sharp edges and corners. However, all kinds of high scenes can allow movie fans to experience unprecedented excitement and excitement
. Comment ")
In Quentin Tarantino's works, stylized scenes of violence are everywhere. Although many films involve violence, no director is as obsessed with it as he is. Quentin Tarantino’s violent aesthetics inherited the bantering and ritualization of "A Clockwork Orange" and the truth and cruelty of "Taxi Driver", and gave new connotations on this basis, resulting in its own unique characteristics. Thus, he led the trend of violent film aesthetics in the 1990s
.
Quentin Tarantino is good at telling stories in a non-linear way, using extreme techniques to express black humor, and unconsciously deconstructing everything. In his films, there is no great meaning, there are no characters that need to be portrayed positively, and if the audience can make the audience laugh, he will never pity his role hypocritically. In addition, his methods such as segmenting the structure of the play by perspective and using sound editing for story cohesion have had a profound impact on future films
