Director: Quentin Tarantino

One of the most famous "major" director in Hollywood

who prefers the constituents of "minor" B-movie,

who prefers to re-make them into major movies,

who is well-known as a "movie maniac."

 

His name is Quentin Tarantino.

He is good at mixing those"B-constituents

(grotesque, aggressive, excessive, sexual expressions)" modernistically.

He started writing movie scenarios since he was young.

He constantly tried to make his scenario into a movie for himself. 

In his 20s, he worked as a video shop clerk in Manhattan Beach, California. 

And he worked on his own film with 16mm film every weekend but failed.

Eventually, his first scenario True Romance is sold and made by Tony Scott.

In the meantime, he finally made his first movie from his another scenario, 

Reservoir Dogs(1992). 

He adores oriental cultures like Japanese Samurai or Chinese knighterrant

and he likes to recreate them into western figure.

Kill Bill(2003) is the typical movie that his oriental fantasies appeared in the form of Homage.

In fact Tarantino, at first, wanted to be an actor and appeared some TV series.
On this account, he also enjoys acting in the movies he make.
From quite a big role with considerable amount of lines(Like the one he took 
in Reservoir Dogs) to a teenie-tiny part that appears for a few seconds(In Django Unchained).

People who watch "the Tarantino movie" for the first time might find it repulsive, like I did, 

because it seems to be too aggressive and suggestive.

But once you feel the charm in the image he makes, 

you will find yourself browsing his every film and enjoying it.
