While I read Candide, I keep thinking that Voltaire and
Tarantino would have been great friends. Both include a lot of dark humor and
satire in their stories. Tarantino’s films always seem to poke fun at some part
of society and somehow make gore and war humorous. If anyone has seen Inglorious Bastards, Reservoir Dogs, or
even his newest Django Unchained, you'd see the similarities. While I’m watching a Tarantino film, I’m surprised
at how much I would laugh at someone’s head blown off. Similarly, while I read
Candide I keep noticing his use of satire and casualness with gore and
brutality. Voltaire also succeeds in critiquing basically everyone in society.
