Quentin Tarantino





Quentin Jerome Tarantino born March 27th, 1963in the US is a very successful film producer.
Some of his best work include Kill Bill1. Kill Bill 2, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds and Django unchained. Like every human we all have genres and traits that we preference and try to incorporate in ever piece of work.
Some of these that I have picked up on are listed below:
Genres: Action, Drama, Thriller. Majority of his films are of this genre as they are quite alluring and captivating to the viewer
I have also noticed that in many of his films such as Kill bill (1 and 2) and Inglorious Basterds is that he likes to use flash backs as additions to the narrative. These are good as it helps the plot move faster and gives back story and sense to his viewers.
In addition it is common that he will pick a film set in previous decades. I feel this is because he bases his film son past events to give it contexts and helps viewers refer to the situation. An addition of historical context allows the produce to give alternate perspectives on events such as Inglorious Basterds. This was a film about WW2 however originally it was filmed from a Jewish perspective.
This is similar to Django unchained as it is a film about slavery un America however, we see a black protagonist in a white run society.

Quentin Tarantino went to "James Best Acting School" Howver he didn't stay there very long because after two years he left and landed a job. He was an employee of Video Archives, a now-defunct video rental store in Manhattan Beach, he and fellow movie enthusiasts (including Roger Avary) discussed cinema and customer video recommendations at length. He paid close attention to the types of films people liked to rent and has cited that experience as inspiration for his directorial career. 


Quentin Tarantino has won 122 awards and has received 103 nominations. These awards include 2 Oscars for best writing and original screenplay for both Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained, 2 Golden Globes for best screenplay again for both Pulp and Django, and 2 BAFTA awards for best original screenplay (Pulp and Django). 



Spike Lee








Shelton Jackson Lee was born March 20th 1957 in New York City. We can see from many of his films such as Miracle St' Anna and Malcolm X that spike is very passionate about black empowerment. He feels that in the past black soldiers, politicians didn't get the recognition they deserve due to racial intolerance and therefor now is documenting these events on film to provide the credit they deserve.


Lee enrolled in Morehouse College, a historically black college, where he made his first student film, Last Hustle in Brooklyn. At Clark Atlanta University he took a course on film and graduated with a BA in Mass Communication from Morehouse. He did graduate work at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where he earned a Master of Fine Arts in Film & Television. In comparison to Tarantino, Spike Lee is much more qualified this comparison gives an insight into how some people reach success. Some through 0propper training and some through recognition however what ever way they got there they both and now very successful producers.
