Why A Quentin Tarantino Movie Feels Different

Quentin Tarantino didn't just make revenge movies. He mastered the genre. From Kill Bill and Django Unchained to Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, revenge has been one of the defining ideas running through Tarantino's filmography. But what makes his approach so different from the countless revenge movies that came before him? How did Tarantino turn one of cinema's oldest and most primal emotions into a signature filmmaking language. His obsession with exploitation cinema, pop culture, anger, catharsis, and genre filmmaking all come together in movies that use revenge for much more than simple payback. #quentintarantino #killbill #onceuponatimeinhollywood #revenge
