Tarantino’s Style

1. Ordering narrative – Some events in Tarantino’s workdoes not flow chronologically. Thepatterns in the films differ from the original writings which frame the movies. For instance, in the Rum Punch novel byJackie Brown, activities do not occur sequentially in both the True Romance and the Natural Born Killers films which are derived from the narrative. Moreover, in the Kill Bill, Beatrix’s death list is indicated as ‘death list one’ which may suggest series of events but on the contrary Vernita Green sequence opens again with a title ‘Chapter One’ that has rearranged his story.
2. Characterization/casting- Tarantino’s style of work is characterized byboth the traditional and modern features. He mentionsthat, some of his productions areprimed by the concerns and thecare oftraditional interests in the Reservoir Dogs. Besides, the numerous flashbacks about the early history in the Pulp Fictionfurther bring the old-fashionedcharacteristics. Nevertheless, most of the actions in the Reservoir Dogsfilm have been set based on modern settings.
3. Choosing settings/locales- Tarantino has a diversifiedchoice offilm scenes and locales which he bases his movies. For instance, in theReservoir Dogshe entirely relies on a single city in America while in the Pulp Fiction he chooses locales that reachto other parts of the world such as Marcellus’ empire in France. Besides,in theKill Billhecovers many scenes which are located in Japan, Mexico, China, and California
4. Filming violence- Ferocity actions are clearly displayed in the Reservoir Dogs and the Pulp Fiction films. For instance, in the former, merciless actions such as ear-slicing and torture of the captive cop by Mr. Blondeare evident while in the latter cruelty has been portrayed by the deaths caused by Vincent and Jules.
5. Ending film- Gallafent describes most of Tarantino’s films as having a happy ending.   A good example of a jovial conclusionisexpressedin the Kill Bill V2 where Tarantino brings out a cheerful moment between a child and her mother after she had been rescued from a kidnapper. Besides, the death of the kidnapper who is an ogre makes the ending more jovial since the security of other children is now guaranteed.
