Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino Quentin Tarantino is one my favorite directors and actor of all time. Quentin Tarantino has many different genres of movie that he directed and majority of the movies he acts in are his own movies. The three this I will talk about are the movies he acts in, the movie he directed and finally the genre his likes the most. He has his own unique view how movie should be made and how they should be should. Majority of his movie have many different ways and he uses a lot of computer animation when he has a lot of action. So it amazes everyone that watches because you never know what going to happen next. Quentin Tarantino was born in Tennessee in the year of 1963. He grew up loving the movies that he would watch, even more than his school. His school life was not that great because the only thing on his mind was to create the best most he could. His parents did know how to deal with him because the only thing he focused on what was the newest movie and how could it be improved. In his 20s he started working the video archives while there he wrote movies of his own that later became major. Several of his films were famous and more and more of his work are becoming more and more famous. Quentin Tarantino has many different thing he is known for his acting, producer, director, and even the quotes that he say to people. My favorite and most smart this guy has said is a quote of his own that shows what a person is his quote is:
"Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kent's found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume? That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a

    They have a very distinct film making style. Like most directors, their general style is classical, falling between realist and formalist. They include a lot of dark humor hidden in the dialogue of their films. To truly get the most of the films, the audience must be active and think about all aspects of what is taking place on the screen. They like to use a lot of irony in the plots of their movies, which range from light comedies to dark thrillers. Even their serious movies, such as No Country for Old Men, include humor hidden inside the conversations that take place between characters, whether within the words themselves or the way that the words are said.…

    Tim Burton

    Although the typical layman would immediately label him an oddball, those who are a little bit more familiar with Tim Burton would say that he's a beautiful mess. Burton was born August 25, 1958 in Burbank, California. He lived in typical suburbia, along with his brother and parents, although he never felt very attached to them. He felt much closer to the films of Vincent Price and the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. While his parents wanted him to go play outside and be "normal," he would rather soak into a 1950's horror movie, or just withdraw into his own mind, into his own world. When asked about his childhood, he responded, "I guess if there was a flavor [of childhood], I guess childhood was a kind of surreal, bright, depression," (Breskin 38). Aside from watching horror movies, Burton spent most of his adolescence drawing. He went on to win a scholarship to the California Institute of the Arts, awarded to him by Disney. After being unsuccessful working in the Disney atmosphere, where the animation was too cheery and uniformed for him, he went on to make distinctive box office hits.…

    Superman, yes an immigrant, just like the American people when they came over on the Mayflower. People came over to explore a new continent and to make better for themselves and their families, they wanted to start a new. Just like Superman when the pilgrims came here they were a superior group of people over the Native Americans. All of our background roots started somewhere else besides the United States. Gary goes on to say, “Throughout American popular culture between 1880 and the Second World War the story was the same. Oxlike Swedish farmers, German brewers, Jewish merchants, corrupt Irish wad healers, Italian gangsters-there was a parade of images that reflected in terms often comic, sometimes tragic, the humiliation, pain, and cultural insecurity of people in a state of transition. Even in the comics, a medium intimately connected with immigrant culture, there simple was no image that presented a blending of identities in the assimilation process in a way that stressed pride, self-confidence, integrity, and psychological well-being. None, that is until Superman.”(qt. in Engle 750).…
