From the minute the multiplex curtains pulled back on his first feature, director Quentin Tarantino has ignited the interest, and occasional ire, of critics for his films’ strong language and frequent violence. The New York Times called his first film, “Reservoir Dogs,” “aggressively brutal.” About his next film, “Pulp Fiction,” the Los Angeles Times wrote that there was “something wearing and repetitive about the film’s reliance on shock value and bad-boy posturing to maintain our attention.”
This visualization shows the correlation between the amount of cursing and deaths in each movie. To keep the shock value that maintains the audience's attention, Tarantino keeps the amount of cursing and bleeding out in balance for each movie. The more cursing there are in a movie, the less deaths will be shown on screen, and vice versa.
