Man könnte jetzt meinen, das sei etwas weit hergeholt und ich bin auch so der Film-Nerd gar nicht, aber filmisch und in der direkten Gegenüberstellung erscheint das so in seiner Summe doch nachvollziehbar.
Many filmmakers pay homage, but Tarantino takes things a step further by replicating exact moments from a variety of genres and smashing them together to create his own distinct vision. Just like ‚Kill Bill: Vol 2‘ (2004) draws on ‚The Good, the Bad and the Ugly‘ (1966) and ‚Samurai Fiction‘ (1998), Tarantino’s work often reflects Spaghetti Westerns and Japanese cinema–both new and old. His unique way of referencing other films allows him to bend genre boundaries and shatter the mold of what we expect to experience. While his methods are often criticized and he is accused of „ripping off“ other filmmakers, it seems that Tarantino is simply writing love letters to the art he is ever so passionate about.
From German silent-cinema to American B movies, the following video uses split-screen to demonstrate a few of the hundreds of visual film references over the course of Tarantino’s career.
