In his movies, Quentin Tarantino presents crimes as normal events that have to be done to keep walking forward in a gangster life or work. For example, in Reservoir Dogs, at the end of the movie, in the scene where a Mexican stand-up happens, everyone aims their pistols on their partners as if it was a normal event to do such a thing. They finished killing each other. They fired each other as if it was nothing to kill a partner. After the incident with the police, Mr. Pink suggests to find the rat of the group and kill him. He says this because it is something they have to do to keep walking forward. If they know who is the rat they are going to kill him, it is just business.
Other examples are presented in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. In Pulp Fiction, Bruce Willis kills John Travolta to keep himself alive. And Samuel Jackson and John Travolta kill many people because of business. In Jackie Brown, Samuel Jackson tries to kill everyone that could make him fall down. He does this because of business.
Tarantino also presents crimes as ways in which the people who commit them have fun. Two great examples that show this are the torture scene, in Reservoir Dogs, and the scene where Samuel Jackson is raped, in Pulp Fiction. In both scenes, the people who are committing the atrocities are having fun. In Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Blonde dances and sings during the torture. And in Pulp Fiction, we can hear the policeman saying phrases that make us know he is having fun.

I agree, because although they were all partners, and in the beginning they were having a nice dinner an all, in the end, it didn’t matter. They were looking forward to simple kill their partners without any regret. This is how Tarantino portraits these characters, pitiless and violent.
