Analysis of Violence in Reservoir Dogs

In their movies, Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino have different approaches to violence, and present the gangster life in different ways. Scorsese's movies present the gangster life in a more realistic way. Tarantino makes the scenes where violence occurs to see not so realistic, we can’t even watch them explicitly; imagination takes an important part there; this will be explained more detailed as this posting progresses.
Tarantino always leaves violence free to the imagination. The scenes, where violent acts are committed, are arranged in a way that make the audience feel a mix of emotions while watching them. An example that represents this is the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs. In this scene, Mr. Blonde cuts the policeman's face, near the left eye, with a pocketknife or a razor, and then he tears out the policeman's right ear. At first, Mr. Blonde is dancing and singing. Then at the moment he is going to cut the policeman the camera moves out and we never see the act; we imagine it. Then the camera moves back again to the policeman and he has not his right ear.
On the other hand, Scorsese shows explicitly the violent acts in his movies. He does not leave violence free to the imagination; he makes you sense it in a more realistic way. A great example that supports this is, in Casino, the beating Joe Pesci and his brother receive at the “holes.” There, Scorsese makes us watch each hit that those two gangsters received, how they are beaten almost to death, and then how they are buried alive.
