For decades, dozens of fan theories have circulated on the connectivity of Quentin Tarantino’s movies, suggesting that the master filmmakers movies are all part of a bigger tapestry. Many believe all his movies, and not just those that he has directed, inhabit the same universe with disparate characters been revealed to be connected to each other in some way, most famously Vic Vega from Reservoir and Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction being brothers. Tarantino himself has pretty much kept away from the debate until, but now, speaking on Australian news show The Project yesterday, he has revealed that those theories weren’t exactly wrong, they were just thinking a bit too small. You see, the man hasn’t cultivated just one universe in his movies, he has cultivated two. We’ll let him explain:
So there we have it. All the speculation has been proven out, and I find it really neat to think that at some point between movies Ordell Robbie and Clarence Worley could have stood behind each other in line to buy tickets for From Dusk till Dawn.
There is actually two separate universes. There is the realer than real universe, alright. And all the characters inhabit that one.
But then there’s this movie universe. So From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill, they all take place in this special movie universe.
So when all the characters of Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, when they go to the movies, Kill Bill is what they go to see. From Dusk Till Dawn is what they see.
