Research into a director

From this I can see how much of an inspiration Quentin Tarantino is, going from 'my best friend's birthday' to a massive hit; Pulp Fiction. I can see how his directing has changed over the years, and how he has improved in time. I can also see that Pulp Fiction is his most famous movies of all time, and am inspired by Pulp Fiction's opening, as the audience don't know what's going on and didn't expect the two characters to pull out a gun. I like the sense of mystery this film pulled at the start, and am inspired by 'mystery'. I will take this into account when making my own opening.
