I am one of many to say that I have never been a Tarantino fan. Most of it stem's from what I have heard of his films and how he narrates his stories. However, here recently, I have found a new perspective in how his stories are being told. No longer by what the characters are portraying, but by the methodology of how the story is evolving and transcending industry norms.
Tarantino suggests in his interview that he is not interested in telling the same types of cookie-cutter stories that expose the plot from the beginning, with a bombastic epilogue. He’d rather break the mold and tell the story from the character's point of view, as we witnessed in Pulp Fiction. He used Reservoir Dogs as an example, He wanted to take a heist story and reinvent it, so he told the story without showing the heist and delivered it from the perspective of the characters with all of their baggage and flaws.
After I watched the interview, I watched Reservoir Dogs. Once again, I enjoyed the movie. It is very dialogue driven, as are the other Tarantino movies I have watched, but the dialogue works. It builds tension and gives the characters depth. It allows us as viewers to have a clearer insight to their psyche, and it also grounds them, showing us a perspective in which the characters are just as fallible as anyone else.
The interview went on to discuss several directors who were influential in Tarantino’s style and genre of storytelling. However, Tarantino has developed a style of his own that is quite unique to the industry.
