Re: “Quentin Tarantino in His Own Words”
Matt,
"Tarantino doesn’t just explore language’s capacity to reveal and conceal motives and personality, he shows how people pick words and phrases (consciously or subconsciously) in order to define themselves and others, and describe the reality they inhabit (or would like to inhabit). Even low-key and seemingly unimportant exchanges are as carefully choreographed as boxing matches. Clever flurries of interrogatory jabs are often blocked by witty responses; the course of conflict can be shifted by deft rhetorical footwork that re-frames the terms of debate."
I think this is one of the most brilliant paragraphs I've read of late, and would be thrilled to get in contact with you via email. I'm having some trouble finding your information - would you be kind enough to drop me a line?
