Quentin Tarantino Defends Violence In Cinema  Quentin Tarantino |
Hollywood filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has championed extreme violence as the most enjoyable part of cinema.
The director is well known for the uncensored gore depicted in his films and believes bloody scenes are what fans flock to see in his big-screen projects, reports a popular movie magazine.
"In general cinema, (violence is) the biggest attraction. I'm a big fan of action and violence in cinema. 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 said.
Tarantino insists violence is a useful tool for a filmmaker to "control" his audience.
"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. 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 said.
