Quentin Tarantino is one of the generation’s finest filmmakers who has swooned audiences with his cinema and storytelling. His movies have embraced violence, and the director has never been shy about being a violent filmmaker at his core. However, he once admitted his movies had certain scenes which he felt were perhaps too extreme and would give child actors a “psychological harrowing experience.”
Many actors dream of working in a Tarantino film, he has written 16 films and directed nine. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood director is shown has several repeated themes throughout his body of work, and his recurrent use of objects, names, characters, time inversions, locations, and camera shots has made him one of the world’s most revered writers/directors in the world.
As the filmmaker believes, “Violence is part of his talent,” Tarantino agrees his violence in the movies can provoke a palpable reaction from the film-going audience. He also agreed and accepted that, it is the reaction that he thrives off of, saying, “I’m a big fan of violence in cinema.” Later in the conversation on Life in Pictures, the director added, “I believe Thomas Edison invented the camera to film people beating the s*it out of each other. It really affects the audience in a big way, but at the same time, you know it’s just a movie. What I’m about is playing the audience like an orchestra. I’m like: ‘laugh. Stop laughing. This is horrible! Laugh!’”
