Extreme violence best way to control audience, says Quentin Tarantino

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino says that showing extreme violence in film is the best way to control the emotions of audiences.

London: Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino says that showing extreme violence in film is the best way to control the emotions of audiences. The man behind ‘Kill Bill’, ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Reservoir Dogs’ said what he wants to see when he goes to the cinema is a man ``bleeding like a stuck pig``.
Tarantino, 46, detailed during a speech at the British Academy of Film and Television how he uses gore to ``play`` his audiences. “I feel like a conductor and the audience`s feelings are my instruments. I will be like, ``Laugh, laugh, now be horrified``. When someone does that to me I`ve had a good time at the movies," the Telegraph quoted him as saying. “If a guy gets shot in the stomach and he`s bleeding like a stuck pig then that`s what I want to see — not a man with a stomach ache and a little red dot on his belly,” he added. According to him, violence is the best form of cinema entertainment. “In general cinema, that`s the biggest attraction. I`m a big fan of action and violence in cinema,” he said. "That`s why Thomas Edison created the motion picture camera — because violence is so good. It affects audiences in a big way. You know you``re watching a movie," he added. Tarantino, who was at the Alfred Dunhill Bafta A Life in Pictures awards, also revealed that he would love to make a movie in London. “I`ve never made a movie in London, I`d love to do that. If ever I had the right story that would be a dream to have an excuse to come out here and live here for a while,” he said. ANI
