Quentin Tarantino’s films typically have a break in the action where some characters point out something interesting — something that kinda makes you say, “wow! I never thought about it like that!” Here are some examples:

1. Kill Bill vol. II (2004): Bill talks about how Superman is different from all other superheroes in that he must put on a costume (Clark Kent) in order to blend in with society, whereas Bruce Wayne must put on a costume to become Batman. LINK
2. Pulp Fiction (1994): the “Royale with Cheese” scene comes to mind. LINK
3. Django Unchained (2012): the scene where Candy talks about craniology, or phrenology, being the justification for enslaving Africans. LINK
4. Reservoir Dogs (1992): You could say the opening scene where the men are talking about tipping is a scene which fits this mold. LINK

In Inglourious Basterds (2009), Tarantino brilliantly compares the character of King Kong to the story of the Negro in America. LINK. The comparison is absolutely fascinating and I would’ve loved to have brought it up during class, but the actual comparison didn’t fit with the King Kong article we read and I didn’t want to derail the conversation. Regardless, I highly recommend you watch each of these clips. They’re very entertaining and it’ll probably take you less than 15 minutes to watch them all.
