Auteur Analysis in Films by Quentin Tarantino
Some may denote Quentin Tarantino as a film director and others as a present-day hero. Tarantino has kept his name in the cinema industry by creating multiple startling violent films such as Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Reservoir dogs, Inglorious Bastards, and many more. Tarantino's use of violence and devastation in his thriller movies allows audiences to emotionally identify with his films and storylines because violence is recognized as one of the most compelling imagery in cinema production. Tarantino is highly famous for his use of reality and his alternative philosophy of how his films may seem to his audience (Nitsaidou, 2018). As an artist, Tarantino blends his sceneries, shots, music, and other key features that, with his thriller genre, successfully depict his actual auteur-style films. This essay will inspect the elements of auteurism in three of Tarantino's films: Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, and Reservoir Dogs.
The Auteur Theory
The auteur theory, a school of thought that investigates the idea of a singular creative vision and the director's absolute control over a film, emerged in the 1950s. Therefore, the executive injects his sole viewpoint and aesthetic into the film. Francois Truffaut's observation from 1954 that "there are no good and bad movies, only good and bad directors" exemplifies the necessity of film as the signature of a creative person (Lam, 2020). A few years later, Andrew Sarris expanded on this idea in a series of articles in the United States, critic for The Village Voice. Sarris claims that a person needs to meet three criteria before being considered an authentic auteur.
The Reservoir Dogs
The films of Quentin Tarantino are characterized by non-linear storytelling, over-thematic violence, and recurring visual motifs, as seen in Reservoir Dogs. Throughout his filmography, Quintin Tarantino has always sought to engage viewers with current problems. He accomplishes this goal in Reservoir Dogs by having viewers consider their own experiences with authority people and the establishment and by analyzing how the film's setting of violence impacts its protagonists and, by extension, society. Retrospective storytelling is employed throughout Reservoir Dogs. Flashbacks provide the spectator with essential information and allow the storyline to advance (Maharani, 2022). The bulk of his films commence with a founding round of the protagonists and some discussion; then, it slashes to the title and some of the film credits.
At the film's beginning, we see a group of men inquiringly discussing various subjects. The topics of the discussions vary, like the interpretations of Madonna songs. The killer in Vicki Lawrence's "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," the origin of Toby, a name discovered in Joe Cabot's old address book, and the debate over whether waiters should always be tipped. Throughout this conversation, Joe and his son are essentially on an equal footing with the Dogs, with the only exception of this little disparity. Another crucial scene I where Mr. Orange confesses to being a policeman.
Pulp Fiction
