Film Review : Quentin Tarantino And Roger Avary

Films provide audiences with the opportunity to experience actions they could not in the real world. Revenge is one such action. The act of taking revenge is often frowned upon and those who do pursue revenge typically face heavy consequences. Revenge driven movies such as Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds, two films by Director Quentin Tarantino, allow audiences to experience the feeling of revenge without pursuing it themselves. The plots of these two films focus on historically oppressed groups of people on their journey toward taking revenge on those who had destroyed their lives. Django Unchained follows Django, a freed slave on his rampage through the Antebellum South, while Inglorious Basterds, tells the story of a

The mise-en-scene, cinematography and other elements of movie, including sound effects and round characters leave us intrigued as well as content with the story structure as well as its ending.

Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is a fusion of Alfred Hitchcock and Jean-Luc Godard because he creates a style different from conventional movies of the 1980s. Godard and Hitchcock are known for their outlandish, but revolutionary plays on storytelling. Tarantino does not abide by any rules in his film.

Quentin Tarantino - a director well known for it’s violence and bloodshed content in his movies, was not only a great director, but also a legend of it’s time.

Quentin Tarantino has greatly improved his career since his first script in the late 1980’s.One of his latest achievements is his film Django, which grossed an astounding $425 million worldwide. However, his most iconic films are those that kick started his career such as: Pulp fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Although both movies are similar in content and dialogue, Pulp Fiction differs in its complexity, plot, budget and high profile cast.

In 1994, Quentin Tarantino released his American Crime film that was nominated for 7 Oscars, winning one, and is currently #95 on AFI’s 100 Greatest American Movies. The movie, Pulp Fiction, is about three characters that are all connected to the life of crime. The first character is Vincent, a man who follow every order his boss gives him. Vincent is satisfied with his life of crime and doesn’t plan on changing his lifestyle. The second main character is Jules, a man who believes that he recently was the witness of a miracle. Due to this miracle, Jules decides to give up his life of crime and find his true purpose in life. The last main character is Butch, a man who decides to disobey his crime boss’s orders and win his boxing match for pride and money. Through each of these character’s stories the audience learns about the power of deciding your own destiny and dealing with the consequences of your decisions. Not only do these character’s actions affect themselves, whether they are life changing or very small, but the decisions also affect everybody around them. The theme of Pulp Fiction is that every action has a consequence. There are a lot of big decisions made by characters in the movie. With every decision made, no matter how small it may be, there is a consequence.

The review written by Rodrigo Perez of Quentin Terentino’s Django Unchained, is excellent and very well written. However, the review makes a mockery of one of Terentino’s best films. Quentin Terentino is a popular film maker. He has made films including: Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Hateful 8, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, and many more. Django Unchained is about a slave named Django who is purchased by bounty hunter, Dr. Shultz. Dr. Shultz takes Django under his wing to help him along the way. In return for Django’s help, Dr. Shultz will help him find his wife, Broomhilda, who is working as a servant at the ‘Candieland’ plantation in Mississippi. To purchase Broomhilda, Django and Dr. Shultz pretend they are interested in Mandingo fighting. They tell Mr. Calvin Candie, owner of ‘Candieland’ that they want to purchase one his best fighters which gets him interested in working business with them. Their plan is to travel to Mississippi and get Broomhilda as well. Right as the purchase is about to happen, Dr. Shultz gets greedy and everything goes awry. This three hour comedic drama pulls the audience in with gruesome battle scenes and its well timed humor. “Django Unchained” was produced well and is one of Terentino’s best. Not everyone agrees with this though. For example, there are many reviews written that find the movie boring and pointless. The review of Django Unchained by Rodrigo Perez is a harsh review to a film that is an exemplary example of the work by Quentin

Quentin Tarantino became one of the most talked about film directors in the 1990s. Most notably from his films Reservoir Dogs(1992) and Pulp Fiction(1994). Reservoir Dogs a caper film had a modest budget of 1.2 million dollars as an Independent film.

This film did well in the box office accumulating 425.4 million dollars. It also won numerous awards including the 2013 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. When analyzing the film, it is clear to see why it did so well. Django’s physical action, plot-driven, emotion-arousing conflict, and the believable world all create this stellar film.

One of the most difficult processes in film is adaptation. The process of creating a screenplay that can be acted and then shot while still capturing the spirit of the work is a staggering task. This is especially difficult from book to film. Literature is able to give the readers insights into characters that would not translate well the film. Along with those issues we also have the problem of physical representation. Authors, like in this film, often are not extremely detailed in the description of characters leaving some things for the imagination of the reader. Because of all these issues novels very rarely translate exactly how to book was written. Compromises must be made by the director to determine what he or she believes the novel was trying to portray. Last Exit to Brooklyn does an impressive job adapting the novel into film yet, even with the writer as a part of the creation process, the film does compromise which changes the experience from reading the novel to watching the film. Assuming the author and director were attempting to present the same characters I will be using the character Harry Black to find correlations and discrepancies between the film and novel. It is my belief that the film and the novel portrayed a similar yet, differentiable character than the novel.
