Q Tarantino

Something that I have learned with the course of Topics in Film, is that an auteur puts its own and unique stamp in his work, making it different from the other’s, although it may be about same genre or same topics. Quentin Tarantino makes his works mainly focused in gangster, crimes, and violence, how the underworld works from his perspective. Tarantino likes to use music, costumes, and all kind of mise-en-scene to give to his movies a “retro” style. This is a characteristic of his work. This helps to portray a vision of gangster/mafia more informal than the one presents in Scorsese works. It may be also because the mafia presented in Tarantino work is inspired in a more “down street” mafia, with a lot less glamour. Another thing that makes different Tarantino movies is the humor he integrates in the dialogues. Although the scene can be about a torture, a murder, or about crude violence, the way he integrates humor in the movie, make the scenes ones possibly funnies instead of cruel or crudes. I think that Tarantino works have their own style and the way he presents topics in the movies make them more interesting.
