请详细介绍一下昆廷 塔伦迪诺导演，包括经历＼所拍影片及社会地位及影响，谢谢！
Quentin Tarantino was born on March 27, 1963 in Knoxville, Tennessee, the so
n of a 16 year old nursing student Connie and a 21 year old law student and
aspiring actor Tony. Connie named him after Burt Reynold's character, Quint
in 'Gunsmoke'. When Quentin was 2, they moved to South Los Angeles which is
where Quentin grew up. His mother took him to the cinema from an early age,
he saw 'Carnal Knowledge' at the age of 8 and 'Deliverance' at the age of 9.
From this early introduction Tarantino fell in love with the cinema and wen
t at every opportunity.
At the age of 22, he landed a job in Video Archives, a video store in Manhat
tan Beach, California where he and Roger Avary spent all day watching, discu
ssing and recommending videos. He made his first (unfinished) film in 1986,
'My Best Friend's Birthday', written with acting class friend Craig Hamann,
and followed this up by writing his first script, 'True Romance' a year late
r.
During this period, he was attending acting classes and put together a CV of
his (non-existent) acting experience which included a role in Jean-Luc Goda
rd's 'King Lear' because nobody in Hollywood would have heard of the film or
director and 'Dawn of the Dead' by George Romero because he resembled a bik
er in one of the scenes. His role in 'King Lear' was actually listed in Leon
ard Maltin's video guide.
By 1988, Tarantino had written his second script, 'Natural Born Killers' and
in 1990 he sold the script for 'True Romance' for $50,000. He decided to us
e this money to make his third script, 'Reservoir Dogs' on 16mm and in black
and white with his friends in the leading roles. It was around this point t
hat Tarantino left the video store to do rewrites for CineTel, a small Holly
wood production company - it was at this time he met Lawrence Bender and str
uck lucky;
Bender was attending acting classes with Peter Flood, who was divorced from
acting teacher Lily Parker and knew Harvey Keitel from the Actors Studio. Ke
itel saw the script and was impressed enough to raise some more finance, act
in the film and help Tarantino cast the main roles. At this point, producer
s Monte Hellman and Richard Gladstein also joined the project.
In 1991, Tarantino filmed some scenes at Sundance with him playing the role
of Mr White and Steve Buscemi playing Mr Pink. These scenes were shown to va
rious film people to comment on and the group containing Terry Gilliam were
particularly impressed.
'Reservoir Dogs' finally premiered at Sundance '92 before appearing at vario
us film festivals around the World. Miramax picked the film up for distribut
ion after Sundance and it was released in the US later in 1992 and in the UK
on January 8 1993.
Tarantino traveled around the various festivals in 1992 promoting his film a
nd writing his next script, 'Pulp Fiction' which went on to win the Palme D'
Or at Cannes in 1994. It finally opened amidst incredible hype and critical
acclaim on October 14 in the US and October 21 in the UK.
'Pulp Fiction' went on to become one of the most highly acclaimed movies of
1994, grossing over 100 million dollars worldwide and picking up several Aca
demy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Sup
porting Actor, Actress, Best Editing, and winning an Oscar for Best Original
Screenplay.
Riding on the success of Pulp Fiction, Tarantino has gone on to be a major H
ollywood player, Producing, Distributing films through Miramax with an arm o
f the company called 'Rolling Thunder', Co-Directing and Co-Writing 'Four Ro
oms', an anthology-type feature film, Directing an episode of 'ER', a popula
r TV show, and making many appearances in movies and TV.
