Death Tarantino Style

Kevin B. Lee explores how Tarantino treats death in his films.

During a screening last Christmas of Quentin Tarantino’s extremely popular new film Django Unchained I had the disorienting experience of sitting in an American cinema packed with people cheering wildly as a man ruthlessly slaughtered dozens of people, just two weeks after a man in real-life America ruthlessly slaughtered 20 children. Tarantino would probably bristle at the connection, just as he did during a radio interview that brought up the Sandy Hook massacre. Audibly annoyed, he considered it “disrespectful to the memory of the victims” to relate their tragedy to his movie. “Movie violence is not the same as real violence,” he asserted, while going on to say that the one thing that truly disturbs him in films is violence inflicted on real animals. “I don’t think there’s a place in a movie for real death.”

Real or not, violent death has figured prominently throughout Tarantino’s filmography, as seen in this series of infographics that account for every single countable ‘live’ killing in his films. (I excluded moments merely showing dead bodies.) I compiled these statistics in the course of producing a video essay on Tarantino’s handling of movie deaths, a work S&S deemed too gruelling to publish. That video will be released elsewhere at a later date; in the meantime, it’s worth reflecting on this most disturbing aspect of Tarantino’s films within the safe domain of numbers and data, to extract what story they might tell.
