Sažetak
Representations of race have been modified throughout the history as slavery was abolished and as many movements considering blacks' rights occurred. In the beginning, they were represented as submissive slaves who were thankful to have white masters to guide them. Later, their representation changed which produced many stereotypes. Blacks were mainly represented as unintelligent people whose only purpose was to guide white people or as persons engaged in some kind of criminal acts. The producer who changed such representation is Quentin Tarantino. He represents them as being intuitive and independent individuals capable of defeating white person. With such presentation, Tarantino is trying to send a message that blacks were unfairly underrated in the past and unfortunately still are sometimes. His goal is to change such belief in modern society. For some members of the society, Tarantino achieves it, but majority states that he represents racist matters. In this paper, the analysis of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Django Unchained was given proving that they have strong message that Tarantino is trying to deliver to the society. Analysis of other writers and critics are also given, as well as the examples and theories of how blacks were represented in the past and the reasons behind it
