Quentin Tarantino’s movies are known for their violent content and unconventional characters. The Oscar-winning filmmaker talks about the expression of violence in his movies
Quentin Tarantino is one of the greatest filmmakers of the current era.

The Academy Award-winning director has not only entertained us with his masterpieces but also went on to create a loyal fan following across the globe with his unique way of storytelling.
During an interview with the reputed entertainment platform The Talks, the Django Unchained filmmaker spoke about his thoughts on the depiction of violence in his movies. Quentin Tarantino not only spoke about his strange obsession with complicated characters but also shared his take on the violence in his movies. He said,
“I’m just telling my stories and doing my thing. I like dealing with genres and getting inside of subgenres. The genres that I have been dealing with have sensationalistic, violent material—be it crime movies, Kung fu movies, samurai movies, slasher movies, or car chase movies—so they naturally lend themselves to it.”

He explained that when it comes to working as a writer, his job not only involves his take on them but also incorporating his own experiences. Tarantino believes that characters end up being relatable if only their every aspect is captured in a humane way.
