    Quentin Tarantino embraced the classics and elevated them to a new level in his genre movies, creating something entirely unique. His directorial control and incredible knowledge of cinema from all over the world allows him to twist universal movie tropes into new, innovative stories.
    “The story of a genre. The three stories in Pulp Fiction are more or less the oldest stories you’ve ever seen: The guy going out with the boss’ wife and he’s not supposed to touch her - that’s in The Cotton Club, Revenge. The middle story, the boxer who’s supposed to throw the fight and doesn’t -- that’s about the oldest chestnut there is. The third story is more or less the opening three minutes of Action Jackson, Commando, every other Joel Silver movie -- two hit men show up and blow somebody away. Then, they cut to “Warner Bros. Presents” and you have the credit sequence, and then they cut to the hero three hundred miles away. Here, the two killers come in, BLAM-BLAM-BLAM- but we don’t cut away, we stay with them the whole rest of the morning and see what happens to them . The idea is to have these old chestnuts and go to the moon with them.” Quentin Tarantino Interviews, pg. 78

    • @cogginsnuff
      @cogginsnuff Před 5 lety +11

      I thought it was obvious from the title, and especially the immediate lack of narration, that the editor intended this video to play out as similarly as a video essay can, to a poem.

    • @bloodgain
      @bloodgain Před 5 lety +6

      Joseph Coggins: Excellent point. I considered it briefly, but attributed it to the statement that Tarantino makes in one of the clips. I didn't give Jack and Andrew enough credit there. More specifically, I don't think it plays out like a poem, but lets the poetry exist "between the lines" here, too. That's why some people are saying they didn't even notice there wasn't narration, because it feels like there is. I didn't notice it until about half way through, myself.

      Fuck anyone criticizing your video. They chose to watch long enough to form an opinion...and tbh, critiquing isn’t as much of an original act as it is spiteful, cold and useless. Despite some volume/audio mastering issues...this is edited very well with the narrative and how the content stays perfectly in pace when alluded to...I really enjoyed your video. I’m sure it took a little while to edit, etc....but it is great. Tweak those small things people have you feedback on, and I’ll keep watching.

    Great Video! In filmschool they basically just showed us films and we examined every aspect of any given film. I felt this is all things you could do on your own without having to allocate tons of money and time to a school. I feel Quinton just reinforces this belief. If you want to be a filmmaker, start watching movies, not only things you like but things you that might not really be your demographic. These frames you see will stick with you and help you when it comes time to make your movie you will have a vast library of shots in your head to choose from.

      @mediaondisplay3089 Před 5 lety +12

      well that the thing innit, rubbish is subjective, what is rubbish to you might be gold to somebody else. In fact there is a whole genre of film that are proud of how bad they are (birdemic, sharknado, troma films, ect). But the fact that you have seen so many films and have a general interest in cinema is a great start. When I went to filmschool I was blown away at how little my class had seen. If you ever attend you will most likely hear a phrase like this "you need to know the rules before you can break them" .. that's filmschool; the basic concepts of framing/lighting/shot composition/audio recording and releasing(try to find somebody to buy your film, spoiler alert nobody will buy it). All that stuff can be learned fairly quickly, what cannot be learned quickly is a vast knowledge of great shots. Er sorry for rambling …

Or at very least just start editing, hitfilm is a free comprehensive video editing software. You can do anything you can imagine with it. Why not just start making videos,, I mean you are on youtube :P.... edit: I mean more cinema like videos as opposed to whatever the racing stuff is you have going on lol. Or you could be like me (and many others) that find it nearly impossible to direct a legit production so am forced into animation. There is tons of free animating software, or I used GTA 5 director mode to just practice filmmaking. This is the most popular video on my channel czcams.com/video/btwX3u1FO_A/video.html&t theres nothing to it, but as you can see I was really trying to practice interesting camera angles.

They all are doing the things they love because of their love for movies when they were kids.

      John Smith The other John’s right lol. I hope that Anderson is PTA.
      Wes is great but his filmography is a bit more style over substance with an instantly recognisable aesthetic and plenty of quirky films, but not as much in his catalogue as PTA has with classics like Boogie Nights, Magnolia, etc.
      Also it seems you’re aiming for more of a modern trifecta of directors, I’m a post-millennial myself so I can definitely align with that, but surely Martin Scorsese should be mentioned regardless. The man transcends all movie time periods & has dropped classics from the early 70s all the way up to the modern era with Wolf of Wall Street. Without us reaching too far back into the older directors like the Hitchcocks, Kubricks, Coppolas, etc, Scorsese probably should at least stand out to warrant an honourable mention.
      But yeah, overall you’ve got good taste my man. All 3 of them directors I like :)

    8:28 I really like the cuts emphasising what Tarantino is saying. Great job by the editor

    Tarantino's vision and storytelling + Christoph Waltz acting = Gold
