    other. Not likely. Why not try it yourselves. Visualize yourself, or if you have access to a mirror, look at yourself. Alluring huh? I bet you have to admit, you're tolerably attractive. Who are you kidding? You are foxy. You are a fox. If you were a Quentin Tarantino movie, you would be Foxy Brown. Now tear yourself away from your own adorable self and turn to your right. See that person. Pretty appalling. If it's a man, he's not very handsome is he? If it's a woman, not very pretty is she? And if you

    In cinematography, as Quentin Tarantino discusses in an interview, the director is the conductor and the audience’s feelings are the instrument that directors utilize to evoke emotion.

    The two films I analyzed are Double Indemnity (Wilder, 1944) and Reservoir Dogs (Tarantino, 1992) they follow the film noir tradition, which, according to Blaser (2008) is a style more directors moved to employing after the world war. Averagely, film noir explores the many aspects of being human such as the greed, lust, love, truth, and lies. The two films move away from the tradition of the previous films that insisted on the family as central to humanity with women and men having different roles

The theme of masculinity in both Conan The

However, their different directorial visions and styles make it so that Hitchcock and Tarantino films are nothing alike. This is because Hitchcock's objective was to make the audience feel afraid, tense, and anxious for the protagonist, whereas Tarantino's objective is to illustrate the absurdity of violence by elevating
