Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Quentin Tarantino's movies have been blessed by some of the best actors in the industry, and this has yielded several iconic performances which have elevated his films to the next level. For each of Tarantino's nine feature-length directorial efforts, there has been at least one actor who stands out from the crowd and delivers a performance which defines the movie and creates many of its best moments.
There are moments when Mr. Blonde's brutal violence is rooted in his loyalty to the Cabots, but there are other times when he takes pleasure in maiming his victim. Jules Winnfield gets a good chunk of Pulp Fiction's best quotes, and Samuel L. Jackson makes them even better. Whether he is enjoying a casual chat about McDonald's or threatening someone's life, Jules is impossible to dislike. Jackson brings a lot of humor to the character, which makes his sudden epiphany that he needs to turn away from his life of violence ring out like a tragic punch line. Jules is merely grappling for control after witnessing so much chaos and bloodshed.
Kill Bill is about revenge, but it's mostly about Tarantino living out his most violent stylistic fantasies on the big screen. The joy of watching Kill Bill comes from soaking up the joy that so clearly went into it. Thurman is perfectly measured as the Bride, who never once winks to camera or revels in the fun in any way. It's important that, to her, everything is utterly serious and weighty. This gives the audience license to enjoy themselves.
Although Inglourious Basterds juggles a few different narratives, everything seems to come screeching to a halt when Hans Landa is involved, such is his unavoidable magnetism. Just as the name of his Candyland plantation suggests, Calvin Candie has an air of whimsy to his cruelty. He revels in his privilege and flaunts his superiority over his enslaved fighters with reckless abandon. This makes his eventual demise a satisfying moment of catharsis, but it doesn't free Broomhilda, nor does it save Schultz. DiCaprio is perfectly detestable as the dark heart of the American slave-owning South.
