Gimme the power.

Quentin has placed between the most important directors of our generation, and also one of the bests a few years back.

His films full of violence, and his scripts minutely conceived are easily spotted and recognized as an original Tarantino's creation.
This week Steve, my english teacher (Hi Steve, I know you are the only one reading my blog) give us, and with us I mean the rest of my group (who should be the rest of my readers) and me, the task of analyzing two of the best movies made by Tarantino: Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds.

¿How does Tarantino portrays the themes of violence and fear in both movies?

Both belong to a different period in Tantino's career but they share their view of violence and fear are just the same.
In one hand fear represents our limits, but in this films fear is about sumission and shame.
Being afraid it's being weak, and those who spread fear emanate power, the power of being Tarantinos main characters just as Doble Mike and Hans Landa.
Both share this feeling of supperiority, making people lay to their feet is part of a confort zone in which they both belong, but at the end they turn out hit by this overwhelming desire of revenge that Quentin presents as violence.

We might think that slapping, punching and hitting people is not the solution, well thats the same that Tarantino believes, in fact he has claimed himselt as a pacifist, but the point he wants us to get into is the fact that he is bluffing at the ones that are in favour of it.
This director laughts in the face of fear on violence, concludes that both attitudes are useless and the prove relays on the fact that none of this two movies continues after beating the bad guy, why? Cause it dosn't work.

So, the next time you watch some Tarantino's work remember hr is the god of irony.
