Deconstructing Quentin Tarantino

• Master antinomy of ‘the father and the son’

• Tarantino’s estranged relationship with his real father, and two step fathers

Relations of Father and Son in Reservoir Dogs

• All powerful Father Figure, Genesis creation, Joe renames sons- color coding

• Rebellion of the son resulting in despair

– Mr. Blond betrays Joe “I have no boss”

– Mr. Orange betrays his mentor Mr. White by being the cop informer

– Mr. White chooses Mr. Orange over Joe

• Rebellion against father resulting in fortune

– Mr. Pink complaining about tips and his name, he is the only survivor and gets the loot

• Loyalty to the father, inheritor of misfortune

• Dance sequences teaser to something bad, varying degrees (Dogs) Mr. Blonde dancing then immediately slices Marvin’s ear (Pulp) Mia twisting with Vic two scenes before she ODs

– Vincent resists Mia’s temptation, Oedipus complex is surpassed, however he still dies in the end
