Biography:
Tarantino was born on March 27, 1963 in Knoxville of Tennessee state. At the time of birth, his mother called him “Quint” in honor of popular cowboy serial with Clint Eastwood, but he changed his name later on to Quentin, possibly not inheriting the love from mother towards the film. Hailing from poor family from Southern America, Quentin Tarantino had no claims for an actor’s profession, however passionately loved cinema.
After dropping out of school, Quentin Tarantino worked in a video rental store, which served as school for studying cinema. Unlike “archival rats” of previous generation, like Bogdanovich, who studied cinemas in cinema libraries, Tarantino has learned cinema from television screen. This defined his primary interest towards plot and genre event elements, while aesthetes of big screen, first of all, were fascinated by editing, atmosphere of shot and details, using which the shot was taken.
Tarantino started off with writing scripts and then in 1992, he directed his own film “Reservoir Dogs”. Film. with a new approach with respect to dialog and action, drew attention. After that, at first, Tarantino’s scripts were in demand and then, he was invited to play in episodic roles. This acrimonious type of young man with duck nose, deep eyes and little projecting chin, naturally, will not infuse same feelings in the spectator, what actors such as Tom Cruise can. His face is not rich with positive emotions. In own films and in films of friends, Quentin Tarantino plays, as a rule, unpleasant characters, psychopaths and irritable neurasthenics, like younger Gecko brother in phantasmagoric horror film of Robert Rodriguez “From Dusk till Dawn”. Nevertheless, Quentin Tarantino looks naturally enough on screen, though, certainly, films with his participation — first of all, examples in genre cinema.
