Having murdered and pillaged his way through his films, holding a black mirror to society with a glint in his eye, and posessing little regard to the outcry that would undoubtedly follow, Quentin Tarantino is no stranger to debate. Theres not a film he's has produced that hasnt caused some level of outrage. When he appeared in the early 90s, Tarantinos gift for dialogue and his eye for cool changed not only the film landscape forever, but also a generation with it. His early films were, essentially, character driven crime films that harked back to the exploitation days of cinema. As he evolved, we got to see his take on samurai revenge, World War 2 and even his take on the pre-Civil War American slave trade and, whilst the subjects of his films have become bigger and bolder, Tarantino still manages to make them his own, never forgetting it was his glossy, dialogue heavy, characters and narratives that kept audiences coming back. Its no wonder the debates on violence, exploitation and insensitivity raged as Tarantino, not one to pander to the naysayers, built his career. As we await his latest film, The Hateful Eight, the pitchforks wait to be raised over the hedgerows of suburbia once again ensuring that regardless of if you like his films or not, you can guarantee the shocks remain with us long after the credits rolled.
