Quentin Tarantino

Including characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Uma Thurman, we're picking out the best character from each Quentin Tarantino movie.

One of the film’s greatest character dynamics is that seen between Dalton and his loyal stunt double, Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth. Despite the fact Mike is an unhinged murderous maniac targeting vulnerable and innocent women, he is the story’s strongest character thanks to a blinding performance from Russell in his debut Tarantino collaboration. Waltz’s brilliant acting makes a success of some of the film’s most intense scenes. The film follows a group of Jewish Americans who plot revenge against the Nazi party in occupied France. The Hateful Eight is almost entirely set at Minnie’s Haberdashery, where a strong broth of opposing personalities shelter from a blizzard. In Tarantino’s directional debut, Reservoir Dogs, the audience is introduced to a group of outlaws who plot a heist under code names. The story follows a deranged stuntman, Kurt Russell’s Mike, who stalks and murders young women with his ‘death proof’ stunt car. Throughout both films, the audience is put in The Bride’s mind. The storyline perfectly illustrates why members of a team should never be strangers to one another. To the beat of yet another stellar soundtrack, Tarantino tells the story of the titular air hostess, who cunningly deceives her controlling boss, arms dealer Ordell Robbie. His unique scripts flourish thanks to larger-than-life character development and the trademark thread of satirical humour. The director adds: “If I do my job right, by the end of the script, I should be having the thought, ‘Y’know, if I was just to publish this now and not make it, I’m done.
