For our final project, we interpreted the filmmaking works of Martin Scorsese. Our interest in doing Scorsese is reflective of how influential he has been as a longstanding filmmaker and innovator in the industry. Considering Scorsese’s filmography is quite large, we decided to narrow down what aspects of his films are to most prominent. With this in mind, we decided to drive most of our focus on his 1990’s crime drama GoodFellas, while incorporating similar elements from his other works such as

Tarantino likes to focus on scenes most directors would cut out of their movie entirely if it was running a little long for example the Hotel scene in Pulp Fiction. In this scene Butch (Bruce Willis) and Fabienne (Maria de Medeiros) have lengthy conversations which are exclusively focus the character development of Butch. Tarantino even says “I wanted him to be a bully and a jerk, except that when he’s with his girlfriend, Fabienne, je’s a sweeetheart” (Tarantino & Peary 2013 pg. 50). Tarantino Chooses

When someone thinks of a Quentin Tarantino movie, the first things that come to mind are his excellent storytelling and developed fleshed out characters. In films such as Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, the elements that make Tarantino such a great Director and screenwriter are pushed aside for cartoonish violence, gore and blood. The prolific use of blood, specifically in Kill Bill, is used not only as a major story point, but also as pure adrenaline filled, nonstop entertainment that will keep its

One Thing they both have in common is they both have won academy awards Griffith won the Academy Honorary Award and Tarantino won Best Director. Another thing they have in common is at a young age they both dropped out of school Griffith dropped out to take care of his family Tarantino dropped out to pursue his

Pulp Fiction is a cult classic. Released in 1994 by co-writer and director, Quentin Tarantino, this movie is a neo-noir crime drama/dark comedy that revolves around several seemingly independent stories that intertwine as the film progresses. The way this film came together was a bit of an intentional accident. The two writers for the film, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary, weren’t planning on writing this at all. Originally, they were going to do a short film then decided that wouldn’t get studio

Throughout the movie the events occurred in the order of: 4a, 2, 6, 1, 7, 3, 4b, 5. "Prologue—The Diner" Pumpkin and Honey Bunny were eating in a diner when they randomly decided the best thing to do was to rob the diner. Prelude to "Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace's Wife" Marsellus Wallace, the head gangster of the story realizes that Brett has decided to go behind his back and try to do things that would benefit himself. As a result, Marsellus decided to send his best hitmen, Jules Winnfield

Pulp Fiction, Breathless, and Old Boy have each had strong and impactful ways of shaping the crime genre of films. They had done this by implementing their own creativity within each of the films to bring a new light to the genre. Each director was not afraid to step outside of the boundaries of the genre and, as a result, created multiple different approaches to the crime genre of films. For example, with Breathless we, as the audience, got a different side of the story that we never came

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. The film has three different stories that are intertwined to create one film. Tarantino borrows this technique from Hitchcock. Bates Motel displays the story of Marion- dies in the first 40 minutes-, Norman

Movies have failed miserably at enlightening the public about tarantulas. Case in point: a villain in the first James Bond movie (Dr. No) puts a tarantula in our hero's bed. As Bond wakes to see the stocky black spider crawling on his shoulder he appears to be sweating heavily—presumably because this creature could kill him. But the tarantula's bite is no more deadly than a bee sting. It was never the spider’s intention to bite Sean Connery, obviously too big to eat. The creature’s small mind was

The film Django Unchained directed by Quentin Tarantino is a distinguished cinema following a character with a checkered past trying to find his true love. The film follows Django on his quest to return to his wife Broomheilda. Aided by his mentor Dr. King Shultz, Django starts on a journey to find his one true love. I chose this movie because it is a western epic about returning to your true love after being forcefully separated. Also because Quentin Tarantino makes excellent movies and I saw a
