Homage

Not to be confused with a pastiche, the homage is a kinder and more respectful way of making use of an existing style. Homage is in a simple way a sort of tribute to the thing they are copying. Tarantino makes use of homage in all of his films. For example, Tarantiono’s soundtrack to Inglorious Basterds is a tribute to Ennio Morricone as his music is used throughout the whole film and owns the majority of music on the soundtrack to the movie.
