Tarantino Appreciation

Last week I re-watched Kill Bill Vol. 1& 2 and Quentin Tarantino has quickly become my favourite director of the moment. I’m quite certain that he’s an absolutely crazy genius (in the best possible way) and a brilliant filmmaker.

Tarantino has such a distinct style and always creates unique films that are an amalgamation of so many different genres. How do you classify his films? They’re of their own genre entirely! He clearly has an eclectic film taste and pays homage to other films so well. He doesn’t just repeat what other people have done before him, he recreates and reimagines film conventions with his individual twist.

You can tell that he is someone who loves films and the whole process of filmmaking. All of the elements are so well thought out and with so much detail and passion involved. This passion translates so well on screen and it grabs the attention of the audience and makes watching his films so ridiculously enjoyable.

As someone who wants to work in the industry, his type of respect and enthusiasm for films is inspiring. He’s not someone who makes films to make money. He’s doing it because it’s what he is passionate about and that’s the attitude I have and hope to always have towards filmmaking.
