In this book, Justin Russell Greene examines how Quentin Tarantino
uses his auteur identity to further cement the masculine tropes of
Hollywood – and ultimately, society – through language, visual
aesthetics, and performative representations of masculinity in his
films and media appearances. Greene posits that the careful
crafting of his auteur persona allows Tarantino to project a
consistent version of what it means to be a writer-director-artist,
and that through his interview and speeches, he reveals the deeper
intensions behind the representations his characters present in his
films. However, although he is valorized by audiences, media
personalities, and peers as an artistic genius, Tarantino traffics
in many of the systemic issues embedded within the United States’
socio-cultural environment. Greene argues that although Tarantino
promotes a political vision in his films and public appearances
that illuminates the restrictions of hegemonic masculinity, this is
not sufficiently effective at truly disrupting entrenched
ideologies about masculinity in U.S. culture due to how Tarantino
hides his critical takes within genre stereotypes. Scholars of film
studies, gender studies, and popular culture will find this book of
particular interest.
