Director Quentin Tarantino he has a very distinct cinematic style, with bloody violence, stylized verbose dialogue, and deep, bizarre characters that he cultivates in his screenplays.
He is a self-proclaimed cinephile who has loved cinema since he was a child and could talk endlessly about films of any genre, but he recently talked about one category in his book, Cinematic speculationthey were the kind of movies he watched as a child.
He remembered seeing a number of violent and sexually explicit films as a child. He asked rhetorically if there was a movie he couldn’t have handled as a child. The film that came to mind was Walt Disney’s Bambi.
“Bambi’s disappearance from his mother, his being killed by the hunter, and that horrible forest fire shocked me like nothing else I’ve seen in movies. It wasn’t until 1974 that I saw Wes Craven’s The last house on the left that something has approached.
The last house on the left it was called one of the most disturbing and violent films of the 1970s and was censored in many countries. But Tarantino felt equally upset by the Disney classic Bambi like the horror movie The last house on the left.
He went on to talk about how he believed in his experience with Bambi it was not unique:
“Now those sequences are coming Bambi they have been messed up kids for decades. But I’m pretty sure I know the reason Bambi it hit me so traumatically.
Of course, Bambi’s loss of his mother affects every child right where he lives. But I think even more than the psychological dynamics of the story, it was the shock that the film became so unexpectedly tragic that hit me so hard. The TV commercials didn’t really emphasize the true nature of the film.
Instead, they focused on the cute antics of Bambi and Thumper. Nothing had prepared me for the heartbreaking turn of events to come. I remember my little brain screaming the five-year-old version of “What the fuck is going on?”
Tarantino felt betrayed by the film’s left turn, and I have to agree. It’s a messed up movie to sell to kids, and it’s one I’ve never shown my kids. What “kids” movies messed you up as a kid? The land before time, The fox and the hunting dogAND My dog jumps These are a few that come to mind.
