Quentin "Foot Fetishist" Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino is one of the best director in our time. His movies are bold, stylish at the same time fun to watch. His Pulp Fiction (1994) is regarded by many others to be their favourite movie ever made. It came to media attention that some Indian girl spilled the beans about a night she had with Tarantino. "And thus began the weirdest 10 minutes of my life - having my feet made out with by an Oscar-winning filmmaker while he pleasured himself," she spoke to the media.

This aint news. This is what everybody have already known ages ago, even before he drank champagne out of Uma Thurman's shoe, if you have seen his movies. Many scenes were just weird, like it was shot through the eyes of a foot fetishist.

Pulp Fiction (1994)
The movie that brought Tarantino to international fame, Reservoir Dogs (1991), almost features an all male cast and have no chance for foot fantasies. However in Pulp Fiction (1994), John Travolta discusses with Samuel L. Jackson about foot massages. Samuel L. Jackson said foot massage is nothing like licking a woman's spot of "holiest of holiest". John Travolta argued, "Would you give a guy a foot massage?" But I dont think when Travolta said this line, he fully knows what foot massage means to Tarantino.

"Would you give a guy a foot massage?"

There is also this scene that especially shows Uma Thurman's bare foot with strange camera angle. Usually to cover up someone's identity, one would shot the backside, or not showing the full face. In Tarantino's style, he shot her feet.

Aint the pose a little bit weird for one just casually standing? Is it especially to show the foot?

Correct me, but does one need to be bare feet to do the twister dance?

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
From Dusk Till Dawn is a movie directed by Tarantino's friend Robert Rodriguez. Tarandino had a role as sort of a mental killer, and oh boy aint Tarantino's acting bad. However he does look obsessed when drinking wine from Salma Hayek's feet. The scene apparently is used to establish the seductive power of Salma Hayek's role, that she can make others fallen under her spell. But down inside, you cant help but wonder if Tarantino is really acting in that scene.

Hey indian girl, is that night something like this?

Kill Bill (2003)
It's Uma Thurman again. She have to wiggle her toe with her mind after get her legs disabled from long period of coma. The scene makes sense but we audience have to stare the toe with her for like 3 minutes. What movie else you got to see just woman's toe for 3 minutes? Also the whole disabled leg thing was inserted just for showing this scene, since it does not cause her any actual trouble at all.

It has a more close shot scene, but this is enough.

Death Proof (2007)
Tarantino went totally out of control in this one. There is no more subtlety or excuse, but just foot scene after foot scene. He even made Kurt Russell a foot fetishist too.

It gets a little disturbing on thinking what's on Tarantino's mind in this shot.

Girls are always bare feet inside a car, and wearing flip-flops on street.

I imagine this is a tough scene for Russell.

Acutally the only foot I found awesome.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As if Tarantino got it out of his system in Death Proof, he was more conserved in this movie. But he just couldnt help just add this one shot.

But honestly it does not seem out of place and it fits within the storytelling. So it could be considered acceptable.

Tarantino is a really talented director, but his romantic attachment ran to, shall we say, the exotic. I accept different...sexual behavior, but injecting the fantasies into movies for everyone is anothing thing, especially when those movies are such enjoyable. Those things are best kept to yourself.
