Although America is a relatively new society in terms of people, it has produced fantastic writers, Ernest Hemingway often quoted as the greatest American writer of all. It is logical that Hemingway’s stories inspired the rich history of American cinema, with Quentin Tarantino in particular having a talent to pay tribute to classical stories.
Hemingway had a strong philosophy for his news in particular. He used certain techniques and principles that Quentin Tarantino would master later during the development of his scenarios. Fans of pulp FictionThe Magnum opus of Tarantino’s filmography will be pleasantly surprised to find stories that scratch a similar itching.
Each writer must study Ernest Hemingway if he wants to improve
The life of Ernest Hemingway is just as fascinating as its stories. Hemingway was a great personality in the first half of the 20th century, known for his direct way of speaking, the vulgar language and the will to literally fight people for sport. His stories have often been influenced by his adventures and misadventures, as his time to serve during the First World War. Hemingway has seen several revolutions and wars, and even survived a plane crash. All of this helped shape his philosophy around the narration.
Incarnation of the traditional masculinity of its time, the stories of Hemingway moved away from the flowery prose which had dominated American literature in the 19th century. He opted for a more familiar and direct style, which made his work more readable and relatable. Hemingway thought that his stories should be “real”. If Hemingway was a simple, vulgar and not filtered person, it is logical that his stories are also simple in their dialogue and their descriptions.
In The art of the newsHemingway explains how to create a fictitious world. The general idea of creating a new strong story is to build an elaborate world or event and to retain as much information as possible from the reader. The more an author is in detail on his story but refuses to share explicitly, the more the story will feel deep.
This style of narration is intrinsically cinematographic. In modern cinema, a lot of emotion is lost because directors can show everything they want in a story, thanks to the cowardly censorship today and advanced special effects. In the first days of cinema, when the practical effects were either too expensive or unrealistic and the studios were less willing to represent the graphic content, the directors often had to transmit pivotal moments by not showing them directly. For example, if a murder would take place, it could be more powerful to show that blood spreads slowly on a soil than to represent someone by physically assaulting another person.
Tarantino has become the master of tributes
Compared to the main directors of the American barrel, such as Ford, Scorse, Coppola and Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino’s films can almost seem hilarious. Tarantino has established his emblematic and recognizable style based on the many influences that shaped him as a fan of cinema growing up.
It is not surprising that Quentin Tarantino was a video store employee in the 90s. His reference and his techniques strongly borrow from gender films, Blaxploitation, Hong Kong Fu, Film Noir and other luscious films. Although Tarantino’s films are rather bizarre and surreal, they are masterfully manufactured. He not only controlled the art of rhythm and twists and turns, but also creates animated worlds in a short period of time, doing so without overloading his audience with exhibition.
It is not surprising that Quentin’s most emblematic film is pulp Fiction. As its name suggests, pulp Fiction is a marriage of the narration of the beginning of the 20th century which once popularized magazines in series. Quentin filled the film with as many tropes and references from the archaic genres of the past as he could. The number of series and films referenced in pulp Fiction is too great to be registered. Tributes to works that are both known and more obscure can be found in the framing of the key scenes, as well as in the graphic t-shirts, the posters and the dialogue that refers them.
Killers could be the most important source of inspiration for Pulp Fiction
From pulp Fiction Adopt a style of non -linear narration that constantly changes perspectives, gathering more like an anthology than one story, no story can be linked to the whole film. However, three of the most busy characters have undeniable roots linked to the popular popular story of Ernest Hemingway The killers.
The killers Start with two hired killers who enter a restaurant in search of a meal. They try to order food, but what they want is not on the menu. After negotiating with the staff, they end up holding the restaurant, with the intention of waiting for a key target to arrive for their usual lunch. The jokes between the two assassins are rather banal; They are not entirely in the spirit of business and speak with casualness of their work. They discuss food and bicker, with one like the most professional assassin and the other as more candid. The legendary duo of Jules and Vincent reflects these mafia handshakes. The jokes between them is one of the best aspects of pulp Fiction (and a strong point of The killers Also). Although Vincent and Jules do not hold a restaurant, they eat in a restaurant while another duet of thieves do this exactly.
The target that the two killers are looking for is Ole Anderson, a Swedish heavy prize fighter. Later in history, Ole is informed that these two wage killers are looking for it. Although it has never been explicitly stated, Ole Anderson seems to have fought in Chicago, a large organized crime center in the 1920s when history takes place (and was written).
Readers can deduce that Ole probably did not launch a fight or something similar, which put it on the wrong side. The story ends before Ole and the Hitmen meet, leaving its ambiguous fate. A key character in pulp Fiction is Butch, a boxer played by Bruce Willis. He has the crowd after him because he killed another boxer during a fight. Like Ole Anderson, he never meets the contractual killers who are looking for him directly.
The connections and the dynamics between the characters are undeniable. Although Tarantino may have been more directly influenced by the several film adaptations of The killers That the new original itself, it is clear that Hemingway was so far ahead of his time that he essentially laid the foundations for what was going to become one of the best films in the 90s.
The Killers and Pulp Fiction are among the most influential gangster stories in their mediums
A large part of the same literary philosophy that has forged The killers in a classic story is obvious pulp Fiction. Similar to The killersSome details in the world of pulp Fiction are left under-explored. What is in the golden suitcase is a question in the minds of viewers when they look for the first time pulp FictionBut the lack of explanation is what makes him so convincing (although this particular reference comes from another story). Butch leaves the working ankle after him, Marsellus, alone with a man who tried to attack them sexually, and it never showed what Marsellus does, which leaves him to the imagination of viewers how he takes his revenge.
Fans of pulp Fiction It owes to themselves to dive into the bibliography of Hemingway. Its style and charm are a great source of inspiration for writers to come or whoever appreciates a well -designed story. The connection between The killers And pulp Fiction is almost undeniable, but they always differ enormously, which is worth both to explore powerful stories in its own right. The killers And pulp Fiction Start among the pinnacles of gangster stories in news and films, respectively.
