Violence in Reservoir Dogs

When looking at Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese we see two totally different approaches to the same ideal. To me they both present violence as a wrong, gross, harsh matter. The only thing is that with Martin Scorsese is more brutal and nasty. While Tarantino presents the violence in a more discreet way. When watching this movie, we do not get the usual beating and torture, as a matter of fact we never see it. We are led to think of what is going to happen and then the result of that thought is illustrated. With Quentin Tarantino, we never see the actual cutting and slicing, he lets us react to his inputs. He not only directs the movie, but he directs the viewer to create the scene in their minds. And this is really unique, it characterizes him.

If we are to compare Tarantino and Scorsese, we are to see two different worlds. With Scorsese the viewer knows what is the product going to look like. In the other hand, Tarantino is always reinventing himself and for such we are forced to watch and wait. In my opinion, when talking about the mob films genre, I’d say Martin Scorsese is my pick. I like new things, but there is nothing like tradition
