In my opinion Quentin Tarantino is a very noteworthy movie director. He filmed such masterpieces as the Kill Bill series, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, and other such works. Tarantino’s unique storytelling style creates a deep sense of connection with the characters, which results in riveting scenes that are very well-directed and shot. One technique that is very synonymous with Tarantino's films is that he films them out of order, but by the end it all connects, which results in a very satisfying ending of knowing how the story all unfolded. The use of camera shots and overall top tier studio quality films makes Quentin Tarantino a very interesting movie producer. Here I will be telling about those three films and why they made him such an iconic movie producer.

In his movie Kill Bill, we follow a woman who was a former assassin named Beatrix Kiddo, as she takes revenge on the ones that have done her wrong, leading up to the person who put her in a coma resulting in the loss of her first born. This movie series spans over three films, each of them revealing more and more background on who Beatrix is and what she is capable of. In the first film, she is only known as the bride, and it seems all over the place, but if you watch all of the three films, everything starts to makes a timeline from when she first became an assassin, her training, and even the back stories of those who did her wrong. The most iconic scene from this movie overall is her fight with the crazy 88 in Japan, where she begins to do battle with 88 men with nothing but her wits and a katana. This film made Quentin Tarantino a very iconic movie producer because of its thrilling action packed scenes. With a review of 84% from Rotten Tomatoes, this is one of Tarantino's more well-known films.

The next film from Quentin Tarantino is Pulp fiction. This is a more gritty film with many more iconic references that are made even today. The story follows two guns for hire by the name of Jules and Vincent as they get hired and make mistakes and fix them while they are going. It also somewhat follows a fighter who is set up for a staged fight that he is supposed to lose but instead ends up killing his opponent. The connecting piece between these stories is the crime boss by the name of Marcellus Wallace who rigs the fight and also hire. This film is very confusing but once you put the pieces together it is very interesting. This is another one of Tarantinos iconic movies because its a cult classic widely known around the world. This movie is full of drugs death and overall very graphic but it has an appeal that a lot of people draw to

Lastly, Django Unchained is another one of Tarantino's works, in which a freed slave with the help of a German bounty hunter tries to save his wife from a Mississippi plantation owner. This movie was made in 2012, and with such actors as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx it was sure to be a hit. The story takes place two years before the Civil War, and Django, who has had a long lineage of slavery, and the German bounty hunter King's only way of getting to his target is Django, since he has Django's wife, so they set out on their very grueling adventure. Again like Pulp Fiction, it's very graphic but there is an appeal for that which draws many people in. Watching the movie is a very interesting experience where you're always wanting to know more about how the story will progress. This movie can show why Tarantino is a very good movie director because from the beginning, it seemed like the movie had a great vision and it executed it very well.

 

So in conclusion, Quentin Tarantino has many iconic hits that are very popular with the critics and audience. Movies like Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, and Django Unchained are some of the very well-known movies by Tarantino. These movies are examples of Taratino's expertise when it comes to movie making and are why I like him very much as a producer.
