Blog #2:The Diverting Soundtracks in Quentin Tarantino’s Movies

Quentin Tarantino, an American film director, and he is also an actor and scriptwriter. The most famous movie<<Pulp Fiction>>, won the palme d’or at the Cannes film festival in 1994.

Quentin has three treasures: lines, violence, and music, which had proved the lines of “the maestro who doesn’t have a script is not a good director”.

Quentin had a lot of achievements in film history as a classic music, such as in <<Kill Bill>>, the background music <<battle without honor or humanity>> when Liu appear on the scene, later become the overused background music in TV show. 

Or in the <<Inglourious Basterds>>, the background music when Pitt had carved a cross on the head of a German officer, is very classic.

So what are the features of Quentin’s soundtrack? 

As an example of the 2012 Academy Award for best screenplay <<Django Unchained>>.

1.      It can be highly consistent with the overall rhythm of the content of the picture, which can render the emotion of the fragment very vivid.
2.      The music is always unique, and the music style including electronic, jazz, and rock.
3.      Consistent with the overall style of the film, such as in <<Django Unchained>>, music has most of the rhythm of old American westerns. In fact, a good soundtrack is there when the scenes need. And if the music good enough, enough to arouse the audience’s emotions, then the master was born.

In short, Quentin’s film combines religion, postmodernism aesthetics, and the synthesis of avant-garde consciousness, which combines violent aesthetics with artistic development. That such a director, the natural works are mixed with a hint of “hybrid” taste, which is reflected in the works of the most incisive and unspoken words.
