For this, our final critical reading response, I would like for you to examine the elements of blaxploitation that Tarantino uses in his adaptation of a novel where these elements did not previously exist. To do so however, you must first read, What is BlaxploitationAn American Film Movement Explained, by Sam Kench. You must provide at least three (3) examples, quoted or paraphrased from the text compared to specific scenes or aspects of the film. Your response MUST comment on aspects of the performances or characters in the film, specific scenes, the soundtrack, costumes and/or themes, as it relates to blaxploitation as discussed in class and in Kenchs article. You must also incorporate at least one (1) additional outside source into your evaluation.
