Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (Machi 27 1963) alizaliwa huko Knoxville, Tennessee, Marekani. Ni mtoto wa Connie McHugh na Tony Tarantino, mwigizaji na mwanamuziki. Utoto wake ulikuwa umejaa mapenzi makubwa kwa filamu na televisheni. Akiwa na umri wa miaka 14, alijiandikisha kwenye darasa la kuandika hadithi ambapo aliandika tamthilia yake ya kwanza, "Captain Peachfuzz and the Anchovy Bandit."

Mnamo mwaka 1992, Tarantino alikubaliana na kampuni ya Miramax kwa ajili ya kutengeneza filamu yake ya kwanza, "Reservoir Dogs," ambayo ilifanikiwa sana na kupata umaarufu mkubwa. Filamu hii ilifuatiwa na "Pulp Fiction" mwaka 1994, filamu ambayo ilileta mapinduzi katika uandishi na utengenezaji wa filamu. "Pulp Fiction" ilipokea tuzo ya Palme d'Or katika tamasha la filamu la Cannes na kumfanya Tarantino kuwa jina kubwa katika ulimwengu wa filamu.

Mbali na kazi zake za filamu, Tarantino pia amejihusisha na mambo mengine ya sanaa. Ameandika vitabu, kuigiza katika filamu, na pia kuzalisha kazi za wasanii wengine kupitia kampuni yake ya utayarishaji wa filamu, A Band Apart. Pia ameonekana kwenye televisheni na michezo ya kuigiza.

Maisha binafsi ya Tarantino yamekuwa yakizungumzwa sana. Mnamo Novemba 2018, alimuoa Daniella Pick, mwimbaji na mwigizaji kutoka Israeli, na mwezi Februari 2020 walipata mtoto wao wa kwanza.

Tarantino amekuwa na ushawishi mkubwa katika tasnia ya filamu, akijulikana kwa mtindo wake wa kipekee wa kusimulia hadithi, matumizi ya ghasia za kikatili, na mazungumzo yenye nguvu. Kazi zake zimeathiri kwa kiasi kubwa wasanii na watayarishaji wa filamu kote ulimwenguni.
