Arts Studies and Criticism

Quentin Tarantino is one of the main representatives of postmodern films. For the narrative angle of the story, the characterization of the film, the language expression, the value proposition, the scene layout, the aesthetic performance, etc., all have their own exaggerated and amazing understanding and artistic director ability. Choosing director Quentin Tarantino's film as the main research object of the paper for in-depth case analysis is the proper choice for studying post-modernist films. This paper mainly compares Quentin's early and late works, and finds that there are obvious differences between Quentin's use of postmodernism from the beginning of his creation and the use of postmodernism in his late creation. This paper explores the changes in the use of postmodernism in Quentin's early and late films from the aspects of narrative mode, aesthetic presentation, film metaphor, and makes corresponding comments on Quentin's transformation.
