Soundtrack: the Significance of Music in the Films Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis will examine the significance of pre-existing music in writer and director Quentin Tarantino's feature-length films Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Volume I, and Kill Bill Volume II. This examination will show that the music in these films not only plays a pivotal role in setting the mood of a scene, verbalizing the thoughts of the characters, and paying homage to specific genres of film, but also strongly influences the emotions and perceptions of the audience.
