Quentin Tarantino is one of the most original film makers of his era, even though his films can be extremely controversial. His films are high on violence, but in a way that is different to other films, especially Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill series that are explained in this article. These two movies are focused on the appeal to society by almost poking fun of society with violence, because the way he depicts characters in conventional settings. While watching these kind of movies, the individual constantly thinks, wow that was random with the dialog in the story line, or that certain scene was tasteful. Violence in films can get very exaggerated and not needed with how gory, bloody and down right disgusting to watch. However, in this article they stated a scene, where John Travolta’s character accidentally blew off of young man’s head in Pulp Fiction, where you would think people would be grossed out, but people laughed it off because of dialect and the mood of the film. Yet, Tarantino makes his films in that matter, where the audience can laugh at moments like that instead of cringing.

Tarantino does make violent films, but in a way that is tasteful, who deliberately blurs the line of between appeasing a societal depiction of violence against women and nudity. It is interesting to find out that European critics think that American films are a form of pornography. Which I agree with. I am not a big fan of violent films, because of how visual they can be, but even if you look back to older movies, from the 1970’s and 1980’s, the most memorable scenes are when women are always being killed in a sex scene, or in a shower. I do not understand why time after time, even now in our society of film making, it is okay to depict women in that light, always connecting women, sex and violence together. Tarantino is a one of a kind filmmaker, where he does not follow the rules, and he pretty much makes the rules so he can break them
