Quentin Tarantino was born on March 27, 1963, and is an American director and Oscar-winning screenwriter.
He has a very deep understanding of commercial films and art films, is good at non-linear storytelling, and everyone says that he is the king of eccentrics, madmen, ghosts, cult films...
Quentin's films have three main features: unforgettable dialogue, bloody scenes, and extraordinary soundtracks.
Ten things you should know about "ghost director" Quentin:
1. Master of violent aesthetics. How fierce how to come, the picture is bloody and the language is rough.
2. Love to shake cleverly. Rory's long-winded passages often appear suddenly, but they give people a sense of humor and connotation.
3. Good at narrative structures that don't follow common sense. You can never guess what will happen next.
4. There are an astonishing amount of vinyl records, and many film soundtracks come from these films.
5. His films often borrow footage from other films.
6. Like to make cameo cannon fodder in their own movies, and die worse than ever. (This is how much love violence, have to be addicted to themselves)
7. When the director worked in a video rental shop, read countless films, and was a film encyclopedia character.
8. Like Hong Kong films and Hong Kong directors: Wu Yusen, Wong Kar-wai, Xu Ke, and have a good personal relationship with Jiang Wen.
9. Like partial actors, and good at tapping the potential of actors.
10. There is a foot fetish, often let the actress appear barefoot.
