MUSIC HELPS DICTATE THE “FEEL” OF A FILM

In Tarantino films, often the music just “feels right”. This isn't a happy accident. In fact, Tarantino has revealed that in the very early stages of writing his films, he begins to pick out the music he wants to use. In the booklet accompanying his soundtrack collection “The Tarantino Connection,” he speaks candidly about the process:

“One of the things I do when I am starting a movie, when I'm writing a movie or when I have an idea for a film is, I go through my record collection and just start playing songs, trying to find the personality of the movie, find the spirit of the movie…then, 'boom,' eventually I'll hit one, two or three songs, or one song in particular, 'Oh, this will be a great opening credit song.”
