Quentin Tarantino: Directing Style, Characterization And The Human Condition
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Quentin Tarantino, who is considered generation X's most well acclaimed director, understands the importance of complete immersion in a film; without the director's undivided creative attention, productions such as the ones he generates would not hold the same amount of intense appeal. One might readily argue that Tarantino's immersed direction brings forth far severe intensity, with particular emphasis upon "Natural Born Killers," "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs;" that the director applies such a degree of concentration leaves the audience with significantly more than a distant memory as the curtain goes down. No additional sources cited.

Race Films
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the film genre “race films”. In the 1920s emerged a new era of cinema known as the “race films” which were made by African Americans, starred African Americans in independent roles and were meant for African American audiences. This movement was meant as a rebuttal for the largely popular film “The Birth of a Nation” (1915) which glorified the Ku Klux Klan. The actors who starred in the race films were soon integrated into Hollywood films in the 1930s to 1950s but received largely supporting and stereotyped roles as mammies as seen in “Gone With the Wind”. The 1970s brought about another era of race films inspired by the civil rights movement and again a decade of films were released which were made, starred and intended for African Americans. The 1980s saw another era of supporting roles and black/white buddy movies for black actors until the most recent movement in black film making began in the late 1980s. Black directors such as Spike Lee showed the political and economic climate of the urban African American situation which resulted in another boom of race films. The genre had changed over the years however and in today’s cinema can be found a mixture of black/white buddy roles, stereotyped racial roles and movies depicting African American urban blight. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
