What I like most about Netflix's new branding is it's more sophisticated and reflects their status as a global brand, market leader and innovator versus strictly an entertainment company. It's like Netflix matured. Before the brand was saying "Hey! Check out our cool stuff." Now, it's, "We're the leader in entertainment."
Project 3
After this week's class, I kept thinking about what Don said about the nachos in Death Proof and then thought about the iconic "tasty burger" scene in Pulp Fiction. I kept wondering how is it the food in his movies is soooo mouthwatering? I found a really fascinating blog post/short video about the Power of Food in Tarantino films that includes an interview with Tarantino and a critic talking about how food is used to establish/transfer power among characters. I also made the connection that his films are so indulgent, visceral and cathartic (true story, when I saw Inglorious Bastards in theaters, the audience literally clapped and cheered when Hitler and all those nazis get burned alive.) just like eating an indulgent meal.
Here's the nacho scene :)
So anyway, I decided to explore the food theme with important and recurring food items from the respective films.
But I'm afraid it may be too cryptic, particularly for people who aren't familiar with the films....What do you guys think?
