The thing I love about Quentin is how many careers he resurrected because Hollywood deemed them useless. Jackie Brown especially as giving the 2 leads to Pam Grier and Robert Forster would never have happened had anyone else made that movie. My generations best director
Yep. I am still hoping he counted kill bill 1 an 2 as ONE movie, which means he has only done 9 which means he will make another. If not, then he is done. :(
Loved this. Thought I might watch a few minutes but watched the whole thing and sent it to my movie buff mates and insisted that they watch it. Excellent documentary. Many thanks for uploading
The Austin film society had a special screening before the movie was released and I was lucky enough to get a ticket for it. Linklater introduced QT, and there was a Q&A after. The audience was so hyped that even the opening titles were met with rapturous applause… except for when Bruce Willis’s name appeared and people started jeering 😂. The scene where Willis escapes the pawn shop and is looking at each weapon is where the already highly charged audience lost their mind. By the time he chooses the sword, the place felt like home team had scored the winning goal in the finals match. The energy was off the charts. Afterward, QT said (and he could have been playing to the audience) that he was only going to watch the first few minutes and then dip out to get some pizza and come back. He said how he’d seen the movie so many times that he didn’t need to see it again, but the of all the audiences he’d shown the film to, we were by far the best one. After seeing how rowdy we were for the first few minutes, he decided to stay and watch it with us. He was super appreciative and I think it left a big impression on him because he started the QT fest shortly after. When the film was released, I took my friends to see it and probably saw it in theaters 2 or 3 more times because I wanted them to experience how great the movie was. I literally had friends thank me for taking them. They were casual movie fans and had no idea who Tarantino was, but they loved the movie.
Jackie Brown is his most slept on movie ever. When CZcamsrs talks about Quentin movies they rarely bring it up or just skim through it. Sam J plays a part that is so authentic to that really scary guy on the other side of the railroad 🛤 tracks
I love how Tarantino is like one of the best directors of all time, whilst being one of the biggest fans of cinema to ever to exist. I love how he's still so enthusiastic and excited about cinema. Its also always amazing to witness someone who's actual dreams have come true in real life, and they still love it. The enthusiasm he has just reminds me of a born again Christian, like you know they've found God, and its bought them so much joy or whatever, and annoying as it may be, when they try to tell everyone else about God, they're really just trying to gift you that same joy because they found it such a overwhelming force in the betterment of their lives, so much so they actually are a bit blind to how it doesn't work for everyone, because they can't phantom how it couldn't. Like I can imagine at least once someone has yelled at him saying "NO Quentin! I haven't seen that film, nobody has except you, the editor and the director!" all because they are really just envious of Quentins encyclopedic ability to reference, great, often slightly obscure gems in cinema history.
@@BrendanGFoster I knew what you meant. The main thing is that you are so wright about God and may I add Jesus. 🙏🏻 No God in these times is exactly why America is FALLING 😥❤
QT may indeed be one of the top twenty or thirty directors (arguably), and his enthusiasm is infectious. He knows how to make the best of contemporary publicity, which is a marketing technique. Being original doesn't always mean "best" though. He's done less than ten films and half of those are indifferent achievements. The best have at least the illusion of being very original - even though he admits he steals from all over the place. This is an excellent documentary.
I agree with you 100%, specially Roberts story!!! Very interesting and almost emotional, I don't know the man apart from being an actor obviously, but not personally and loved the happy ending like if he was a family member. Very happy for him, plus he was fantastic in J B . watching him on this interview and compare with the roll proves what a good actor he is ...
I've rewatched that section a number of times. I remember reading a European distributor asking QT if he didn't regret not casting bigger names in that movie. QT quoted the numbers for the movie and the distributor said that was all QT's name, who replied: Well, lucky me. I don't like all his stuff, but he is an artist.
I hope Quentin hooks back up with Harvey Keitel, the man who is one of the primary reasons he was able to finance his first film, for his last film and let it come back full circle.
@@joshuarainn951 no, Mr. Pink was arrested. He says he’s been shot, but you don’t hear any gunshots take place outside. Only the sounds of police showing up and arresting him, one cop yelling “You shot a cop, huh? Did you shoot a cop?!” For all we know, he’s saying he’s been shot to the cops so that they’ll go easy on him as they come up to to him as they arrest him. Tarantino I remember once said Mr. Pink is the only one of those guys to live, but it was years ago in an article that featured an interview with him, so it would take some time to fine. And he basically alluded to the fact that he was the only one to be professional as being the key reason he survived.

What a nice surprise to find out that QT is as nice a guy as he is a great director and writer. Everyone has great things to say about how nice, generous, and collaborative he is. This has been a great treat to watch..
Middle class yuppies choose art because they have rich parents who send them to film school. They think it's cool to write scripts and wanna direct. The middle class have great researchers but that's not the ticket to what's genuine to true artists like me. u dnt choose art. Art chooses you. Love Quentin
@@prawnee9827 Universal made The Incredible Hulk. This was before Marvel was an established film studio, also Universal owning the rights to the Hulk character is a reason there’s not been a stand alone sequel to have happened as of now.
Quentin brought light to movies only a few of “us” fans knew about. I’ve made many of my family and friends fans of Blaxploitation,Exploitation, Hong Kong and B-Movies in general all because they watched interviews of him. One in particular from certain genres like “Hit Man”,”Gone In 60 Seconds”,”Street Trash” and “Big Bird Gage” have been watched many times with those close to me
I doubt people around the world properly figured "once upon a time in Hollywood" story. As a french I can tell you I liked it but what are the odds I would figure the plot after 3 min without knowing what happened to Polanski's wife in reality. That was a weird feeling.. Like I knew already why it was called "once upon a time..", the death of the flower power.
His reading of script in between his last rape and his snoring of coke and Hemroid cream. That guy is a Monster but people cannot go on thinking hes the only one...CASTING COUCHES have been and will be a solid part of Hollywood. They exist because people are willing to do anything for fame...and power.
So good seeing Pam and Robert together. The bond that they already had and carried with them into JB shines so much. No artifice like you see all the time with these modern day jerks that would break the pretense and spit on each other if it got them a little more attention.
I love Jackie Brown so much. Jackie and Max seem to love each other in real life as well. Without Jackie Brown, Robert Forster probably doesn't end up being in the Breaking Bad universe.
wow i paused the video and looked in the comments at the exact same timestamp that you referenced. indeed. this comment aged as well as milk left on some Arizonan’s drive way in the middle of a summer heatwave
RIP Robert Forster. Great actor. And the camera operator on this interview can't even get him in focus. Guess the poster behind them is more important...
The story about "Pulp Fiction" and everything around it is a kind of moviemakers and movielovers fairy tale. Like literally all dreams come true and the entire world is happy as one. There is only one more movie I felt exhilarated the same way and I find it as good as Pulp Fiction; it is a Croatian movie called "Pušća Bistra" (2005), but unfortunately its story and global reception has been completely different, nobody has ever heard about it, let alone watched it and screenwriter/director Filip Šovagović basically received no recognition for it even though he'd made an eternal masterpiece like no other.
@@emilal thank you for asking and i'd really like to help, but i don't know. if i find it somewhere and it is a good quality copy, i'll sure let you know.
Man this was such a good treat! Thank you for this video! Quentin is like Muhammad Ali of filmmaking. It has this magic and love to it that's just amazing. I mean Rza and Quentin, Robert and Quentin, De Niro and Quentin, Harvey and Quentin, Eli Roth and Quentin etc. etc. this can't be a coincidence. It's almost frightening when I think about it. I'm loving it and I'm very thankfull.
*Very very interesting video on QT! I would love to see the same thing done just a bit more recent covering hateful8 and once upon a time in Hollywood*
Interesting that Sam Jackson & Travolta never Met before Pre production on Pulp. They had to have great chemistry as they seemed so Inseparable as partners in the narrative of the story. Cool they really bonded
Hello my name is Adam. If Quinton stops making movies. I will be Sad Adam. And his name will be Quitting Tarantino. And we all will be sad and cry like Bambinos And the movies will go back to the Stone Age like Dino. End of Cino.
bring on more mr white's in movies it portrays real life more, the world today is more violent and unfriendly. Michael Madsen plays this part perfectly for me he's a great actor playing a great part.
There's a common theme that most of his movies entail , very difficult to explain but lemmi try : " it's a lil' bit of wit along with unmessy violence , creative dialogue with riddles but easy to follow "
when my dad got remarried, the day after the night before of his bachelor party most of them were hurting. I had Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 in my bag. Now my dad hated most things but he sat through 4 hours and then went out and bought his own copies. when he sat through inglorious I said you hate subtitled films. he said it wasnt subtitled. then years later he said have you seen Pulp Fiction? I still maintain Jackie Brown is his opus. I got taken for my birthday to a screening. and for half the movie I was bored (same as Usual suspects) but when it kicked into gear ... I was like I need to see that again
I seem to recall an issue with the original soundtrack, something to do with CCR when it went to VHS. I believe the initial shipment to video stores had to be returned to the distributors. Anyone know about this?
It’s always confused me that so many people obsessed about how violent Reservoir Dogs was. Then it hit me... *It’s the actors that make the movie feel more violent than it is.* The reason why the famous “ear scene” feels so violent is because of THE ACTORS. Michael Madsen is of course amazing at playing a psychopath, but Kirk Baltz actually sounded like a guy who was about to get his fucking ear cut off and be torched. Reservoir Dogs is why I like to call, “An Actor’s Movie.” It’s the kind of film that actors/actresses dream of playing because they get a script with impassioned dialogue, and really get to show off their acting chops.
All the more poignant as Michael Madsen improvised that whole scene with the ear, the dance, everything. And its one of the most powerful scenes in the whole movie. That's what gives the violence such an impact, its not the actual violence, or even the implied violence, its in the casual way it gets presented. "Fat guy Dad dances to boomer rock, around another guy tied to a chair" That's one scene, but then add: "with a straight razor in one hand, and an ear in the other". (Cue "can you hear me joke") "Well, I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right Here I am Stuck in the middle with you" Its so surreal and relatable, and if you just forget the context for a moment, your foot starts tapping along to Stealer's Wheel, then your attention snaps back when we realise that he's not being tortured for information, or because he's maybe a rat, but this is the money shot for Madsen's character. We are fairly inured to people who's job it is to rob stuff, and who won't hesitate to kill you if they feel they have to. That's one thing. But Madsen's character reveal here, is that the crime, the money, the swag of being a professional criminal is completely irrelevant, and he's only a robber because he gets to kill people. For him, this isn't an unpleasant part of a robber's job, this is a vocation, this is his raison d'etre, this is *high art* beybee. Art for art's sake. And that almost elevates the whole scene into high comedy. Nobody who ever saw that movie, has been able to listen to that song, without the accompanying video clip running in their head. For any actor in a scene that powerful, that's quite a feather in their caps. For a relatively obscure 70's band, its a welcome chunk of royalties. But for a director's first movie, that's unprecedented. And ever since, Tarantino's had an "All eyes on me" career that few directors ever get. Every movie is an absolute banger. Every actor shines for him, and he knows how to get something different and unique from them that another director wouldn't even see.
now that Disney is trying to own all the movies, it could be a great opportunity for new and fresh perspectives on cinema to be made for an audience without anything to loose
64 meta critic. 7.5 imdb score. Not sure on your definition of underrated but the scores along beg to differ. I don't think anythimg QT related can be considered underrated
When they were talking about how john travolta was quentins first and only choice, quentin himself admitted he wrote the part with michael madsen in mind but michael was already booked to do another movie
Then I guess Madsen lost out to the benefit of everyone else. He's a nonpareil bad-ass, but I find it pretty much impossible to imagine him making the character sympathetic in the way Travolta did.
@@JohnMoseley yah, Idt anyone would've liked Vega's character enough to root for him, not been saddened when he was abruptly & unceremoniously killed exiting the bathroom. Too many ppl would only have seen him as Mr Blonde, & wouldn't have been invested in his character.
@Grim Reefer do you have a link that shows Tarantino actually said this, b/c while I've heard that multiple times, I've never seen a clip or article where Tarantino actually confirms that himself
Watching this recently there’s no doubt Penn completely smashes it by far. Harvey seems to call it in. Penn kicks the doors in ☺️💪 I feel Harvey didn’t realise how awesome this film was and dialled it in big time but he definitely credified the film so fair dues 👍
Really? Everyone has their own opinion I guess. I think Keitel's performance as Mr. White is perfection. Nice Guy Eddie is a louder, brasher guy. It wouldn't have made sense for White to be chewing up the scenery the way Eddie did. I mean, shit, Blonde is very lowkey most of the film. Do you think Madsen "dialed it in"? You're entitled to your opinion, I am just baffled by it. So many great moments with White. All the stuff between him and Orange. Even just little stuff, like when Orange tells the cops-in-the-bathroom story, and White laughs, "That's hard, that is a hard situation." He's fucking brilliant.
I thought they were both great. White when he discovered Orange was the rat & he'd backed the wrong one. Nice Guy Eddie totally losing his shit (justifiably) "You better stop pointing that fucking gun at *my* *DAD* !!!"
Harvey is Harvey....ha HE was the Fabulous, unforgettable remarkable man who no one could ever forget or succeed without him...THAT ALL OF HOLLYWOOD HAS FORGOTTEN AND SUCCEDED WITHOUT
It worked out how it was supposed to. At least w/ NBK. True Romance, yeah, it's a great film, but it probably would've been even better had QT directed. But NBK, so much of it is Stone. The different film stocks, and adding quick cartoon versions...and the whole mystical, mushroom-trip feel. That's pure Stone and wouldn't have been in there had QT done it. And, imo, that stuff is part of what makes it such a classic. "Whole world's coming to an end, Mal."
It's a hard thing to say because I love so many filmmakers intensely, but Quentin is the definitive filmmaker of my generation, maybe ever, only to be surpassed by Ford, Kurosawa, Bergman and Hitchcock
The guy saying that Quentin always wanted Travolta to play the lead in Pulp Fiction, doesn`t have a clue what he`s talking about....He goes on and on that the part was only for John etc....when Quentin himself has said that he wrote the part specifically for Michael Madsen, and the only reason Travolta got the part, was because Madsen had already committed to doing Tombstone, and therefore had to pass on Pulp Fiction...
Ben as piece of shit as he might be the guy made some real art happen and those masterpieces might have never seen the light of day had he not funded them.
@@josecanales2978 Fuck that. Money men "producers" leech off of artists, they don't deserve credit for the art. Weinstein made an investment that he knew wouldn't lose. He didn't discover anything - he'll take all the credit he can and make it sound like he is responsible - but he was only referred an investment by someone else, nothing more. All the people talking him up have an economic incentive to do so. They make it sound like he found Tarantino out of nowhere, but in truth, Tarantino had already written True Romance and Natural Born Killers (both huge hits with huge casts) before Resevoir Dogs was made. Tarantino was more established than they make him out to be so it makes for a better documentary story and everyone can suck their own dick about how great they were to "find" Quentin T. On another note, why is Samuel L. Jackson wearing a Kangol with a cock & balls pattern on it at 52:00?
1994. The last year on Earth when anything was possible. When you could wake up to a new day, dream, and start again. Within two years the web, the internet or whatever the fuck it's called.
reservoir dogs actually shows little violence but leaves the watcher imagining what occurred. even the cops ear removal is perceived by the views. the only violence is the shootout with the cops by mr pink and the ending when they all shoot each other. its easily one of my favorite films.
The thing I love about Quentin is how many careers he resurrected because Hollywood deemed them useless.

Check out the 1994 BBC Omnibus doc on him too if you haven't seen it. Some good insights into his 80's video store days.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I meant to only watch a few minutes & ended up watching all 2 plus hrs of this. Reminded me what a genius QT is. RIP Sally Menke 🙏
The best directorial debut followed by the greatest film of our generation.
Quentin is a once in a lifetime phenomenon.
A total pleasure, first time i listen to him out of a character, Samuel L Jackson, your precious!
When Pulp Fiction came out I went to see it at the theater 4 nights in a row! My favorite movie!
Pretty lit
I remember seeing it a few times in a row too, amazing.
The Austin film society had a special screening before the movie was released and I was lucky enough to get a ticket for it. Linklater introduced QT, and there was a Q&A after.

Yeah watched it again recently and loved it, when it first came out, I was much younger and didn't fully appreciate how good it was.
Solid movie for sure. From start to finish.

So good to watch / see names behind scenes like Sally Menkes - a group of really passionate friends.

it sounds like she was being held at gun point force to read the ransom note he wrote for our to read out loud.
wow i paused the video and looked in the comments at the exact same timestamp that you referenced. indeed. this comment aged as well as milk left on some Arizonan’s drive way in the middle of a summer heatwave
@@pokeman123451 it's crazy cause I did a similar thing. But tbh I came to the comments looking yo see if anyone said this lol
What a disgusting comment. Sounds exactly like something Harvey W. would say or maybe a pubescent boy in junior high school.
First Name Last Name calm your tits it was funny
RIP Robert Forster. Great actor. And the camera operator on this interview can't even get him in focus. Guess the poster behind them is more important...
Pam was really digging him. He seemed genuinely surprised.
The story about "Pulp Fiction" and everything around it is a kind of moviemakers and movielovers fairy tale. Like literally all dreams come true and the entire world is happy as one. There is only one more movie I felt exhilarated the same way and I find it as good as Pulp Fiction; it is a Croatian movie called "Pušća Bistra" (2005), but unfortunately its story and global reception has been completely different, nobody has ever heard about it, let alone watched it and screenwriter/director Filip Šovagović basically received no recognition for it even though he'd made an eternal masterpiece like no other.
Where can I watch it?
@@emilal thank you for asking and i'd really like to help, but i don't know. if i find it somewhere and it is a good quality copy, i'll sure let you know.
Man this was such a good treat! Thank you for this video! Quentin is like Muhammad Ali of filmmaking. It has this magic and love to it that's just amazing. I mean Rza and Quentin, Robert and Quentin, De Niro and Quentin, Harvey and Quentin, Eli Roth and Quentin etc. etc. this can't be a coincidence. It's almost frightening when I think about it. I'm loving it and I'm very thankfull.
*rock n roll baby*
*Very very interesting video on QT! I would love to see the same thing done just a bit more recent covering hateful8 and once upon a time in Hollywood*
Interesting that Sam Jackson & Travolta never Met before Pre production on Pulp. They had to have great chemistry as they seemed so Inseparable as partners in the narrative of the story. Cool they really bonded
Hello my name is Adam. If Quinton stops making movies. I will be Sad Adam. And his name will be Quitting Tarantino. And we all will be sad and cry like Bambinos And the movies will go back to the Stone Age like Dino. End of Cino.
Eli Roth at 33:14 ..lol that's the BearJew..I love that
Great. Aslong as QT is around, he's the best around. Master! .. (oldschool fan)
Damn, I never knew Harvey an Lawrence were so important to bringing Quentin out. I appreciate that shit lol
That scene with Harvey at 44:30. Fucking brilliant. Fucking brilliant.
Good doc! Actually a little better than the new one.
very classy, unselfish end to the segment w/ the WU-TANG Clan guy about Sally (whom I never heard of 'til tonite).
The RZA
@@kieranmilller6473 musically off my radar, but he is obviously one cool dude. younger folks in my family were/are into WU-TANG CLAN.
His first movie is "My Best Friend Birthday". And Reservoir Dogs his 4th professional script and 4th director experience. ;)
bring on more mr white's in movies it portrays real life more, the world today is more violent and unfriendly. Michael Madsen plays this part perfectly for me he's a great actor playing a great part.
There's a common theme that most of his movies entail , very difficult to explain but lemmi try :
" it's a lil' bit of wit along with unmessy violence , creative dialogue with riddles but easy to follow "
RiP sally she was at the peak and prime of her art with inglorious bastards 🎥
❤️!
Just found out Robert Forster died back in Oct 19... They had a in memorium on the end of S4E1 of Better Call Saul. Bummer. RIP RF!
RIP Weinstein too.. He just got found guilty of being a rapist. Such a shame that he is such a PoS ... seems he was critical to QTs early movies.
*Season 5 of Better Call Saul.
Inglorious is the Greatest QT movie IMO
when my dad got remarried, the day after the night before of his bachelor party most of them were hurting. I had Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 in my bag. Now my dad hated most things but he sat through 4 hours and then went out and bought his own copies. when he sat through inglorious I said you hate subtitled films. he said it wasnt subtitled. then years later he said have you seen Pulp Fiction? I still maintain Jackie Brown is his opus. I got taken for my birthday to a screening. and for half the movie I was bored (same as Usual suspects) but when it kicked into gear ... I was like I need to see that again
I seem to recall an issue with the original soundtrack, something to do with CCR when it went to VHS. I believe the initial shipment to video stores had to be returned to the distributors. Anyone know about this?
I love Django. That spaghetti western style done QT's way.
It’s always confused me that so many people obsessed about how violent Reservoir Dogs was. Then it hit me...
*It’s the actors that make the movie feel more violent than it is.* The reason why the famous “ear scene” feels so violent is because of THE ACTORS. Michael Madsen is of course amazing at playing a psychopath, but Kirk Baltz actually sounded like a guy who was about to get his fucking ear cut off and be torched.
Reservoir Dogs is why I like to call, “An Actor’s Movie.” It’s the kind of film that actors/actresses dream of playing because they get a script with impassioned dialogue, and really get to show off their acting chops.
All the more poignant as Michael Madsen improvised that whole scene with the ear, the dance, everything. And its one of the most powerful scenes in the whole movie. That's what gives the violence such an impact, its not the actual violence, or even the implied violence, its in the casual way it gets presented.
"Fat guy Dad dances to boomer rock, around another guy tied to a chair"
That's one scene, but then add:
"with a straight razor in one hand, and an ear in the other". (Cue "can you hear me joke")
"Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you"
Its so surreal and relatable, and if you just forget the context for a moment, your foot starts tapping along to Stealer's Wheel, then your attention snaps back when we realise that he's not being tortured for information, or because he's maybe a rat, but this is the money shot for Madsen's character. We are fairly inured to people who's job it is to rob stuff, and who won't hesitate to kill you if they feel they have to. That's one thing.
But Madsen's character reveal here, is that the crime, the money, the swag of being a professional criminal is completely irrelevant, and he's only a robber because he gets to kill people. For him, this isn't an unpleasant part of a robber's job, this is a vocation, this is his raison d'etre, this is *high art* beybee. Art for art's sake. And that almost elevates the whole scene into high comedy.
Nobody who ever saw that movie, has been able to listen to that song, without the accompanying video clip running in their head. For any actor in a scene that powerful, that's quite a feather in their caps. For a relatively obscure 70's band, its a welcome chunk of royalties. But for a director's first movie, that's unprecedented.
And ever since, Tarantino's had an "All eyes on me" career that few directors ever get. Every movie is an absolute banger. Every actor shines for him, and he knows how to get something different and unique from them that another director wouldn't even see.
still looks like Pam Grier has a crush on Robert Forster
Pulp. only one of only 2 films I was in the middle of it and wanting to watch it again
now that Disney is trying to own all the movies, it could be a great opportunity for new and fresh perspectives on cinema to be made for an audience without anything to loose
@Samuel Lasky
I agree.
Also, "Jackie Browne" is ridiculously underrated.
64 meta critic. 7.5 imdb score. Not sure on your definition of underrated but the scores along beg to differ. I don't think anythimg QT related can be considered underrated
When they were talking about how john travolta was quentins first and only choice, quentin himself admitted he wrote the part with michael madsen in mind but michael was already booked to do another movie
Then I guess Madsen lost out to the benefit of everyone else. He's a nonpareil bad-ass, but I find it pretty much impossible to imagine him making the character sympathetic in the way Travolta did.
@@JohnMoseley Yea. Travolta has a little more soul
@@JohnMoseley yah, Idt anyone would've liked Vega's character enough to root for him, not been saddened when he was abruptly & unceremoniously killed exiting the bathroom. Too many ppl would only have seen him as Mr Blonde, & wouldn't have been invested in his character.
@Grim Reefer do you have a link that shows Tarantino actually said this, b/c while I've heard that multiple times, I've never seen a clip or article where Tarantino actually confirms that himself
@@evilangel2918 watch/listen to his Joe Rogan interview. He talks about it quite extensively during it.
28:30 honestly makes me really sad
Thank you for your honesty.
Reservoid Dogs was very popular in Europe.
Watching this recently there’s no doubt Penn completely smashes it by far. Harvey seems to call it in. Penn kicks the doors in ☺️💪 I feel Harvey didn’t realise how awesome this film was and dialled it in big time but he definitely credified the film so fair dues 👍
Really? Everyone has their own opinion I guess. I think Keitel's performance as Mr. White is perfection. Nice Guy Eddie is a louder, brasher guy. It wouldn't have made sense for White to be chewing up the scenery the way Eddie did.
I mean, shit, Blonde is very lowkey most of the film. Do you think Madsen "dialed it in"? You're entitled to your opinion, I am just baffled by it.
So many great moments with White. All the stuff between him and Orange. Even just little stuff, like when Orange tells the cops-in-the-bathroom story, and White laughs, "That's hard, that is a hard situation." He's fucking brilliant.
I thought they were both great. White when he discovered Orange was the rat & he'd backed the wrong one. Nice Guy Eddie totally losing his shit (justifiably) "You better stop pointing that fucking gun at *my* *DAD* !!!"
Do you mean "phoned" it in. Because dialing it in just means focusing, so not necesarilly a bad thing
Harvey is Harvey....ha HE was the Fabulous, unforgettable remarkable man who no one could ever forget or succeed without him...THAT ALL OF HOLLYWOOD HAS FORGOTTEN AND SUCCEDED WITHOUT
Jackie Brown is a very fun movie
Together they were like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and that's a good sandwich!
I really liked Natural Born Killers and True Romance but I would love to see how Quinton would have directed them.
It worked out how it was supposed to. At least w/ NBK.
True Romance, yeah, it's a great film, but it probably would've been even better had QT directed.
But NBK, so much of it is Stone. The different film stocks, and adding quick cartoon versions...and the whole mystical, mushroom-trip feel. That's pure Stone and wouldn't have been in there had QT done it. And, imo, that stuff is part of what makes it such a classic.
"Whole world's coming to an end, Mal."
I'm so confused. I thought True To ance was Quentin Tarantino?
All the dislikes are from Spike Lee.
It's a hard thing to say because I love so many filmmakers intensely, but Quentin is the definitive filmmaker of my generation, maybe ever, only to be surpassed by Ford, Kurosawa, Bergman and Hitchcock
... and Coppola, Scorsese, Kubrick, Spielberg,, Coen, et al..... QT one of the best of his generation, for sure.
I think he’s referenced all these guys as idols that he adores
Iron Man 7? Bro, you were in the Hulk!
Have a drink everytime someone says "ya know?"
Drunk ten minutes in. Unbelievable. Although, I'd rather 'ya know' than 'like'
40:58. "Him...."
Lolololol
RIP Robert Forster
Whole film based in a convenience store? Kevin Smith has some explaining to do 😅
RZA? Wow…. I never new that…
They should focus on the independent market again.
25 minutes in and not 1 'Arrright' has been spoken. The big Q should be in this
"Hooray for Harvey Weinstein..."
FFWD
"Harvey who?...no, never knew him"
Lmao. It’s crazy how those documentaries are sucking him off so hard, only a couple years ago
Imo IB is QT's magnum opus!
God. The Weinstein references are so awkward now.
Yeah ... really ..it feels actually good to hear something positive about him ..it feels like a nuance on somebody who s been broken by most ..
55:57
Robert Rodriguez vs Eli Roth in a fight. Who wins? ~Go:
Where’s Roger Avery?
The guy saying that Quentin always wanted Travolta to play the lead in Pulp Fiction, doesn`t have a clue what he`s talking about....He goes on and on that the part was only for John etc....when Quentin himself has said that he wrote the part specifically for Michael Madsen, and the only reason Travolta got the part, was because Madsen had already committed to doing Tombstone, and therefore had to pass on Pulp Fiction...
@@Momothebutcher90 Nope, it is true. ...I just had the movie wrong. Madsen said no to Pulp Fiction because he already had commited to Wyatt Earp
1:32:10 vast knowledge of Asian cinema. 1:32:20 you laugh with the movies.
Wow this Harvey Weinstein dude seems like a funny guy.... oh wait.
Guy LeDouche!!!!
Yea impossible to hear his name now and not think of what a scumbag he is
@@rustykuntz94 yeah that weinstein worship hasn't aged well
Ben as piece of shit as he might be the guy made some real art happen and those masterpieces might have never seen the light of day had he not funded them.
@@josecanales2978 Fuck that. Money men "producers" leech off of artists, they don't deserve credit for the art. Weinstein made an investment that he knew wouldn't lose. He didn't discover anything - he'll take all the credit he can and make it sound like he is responsible - but he was only referred an investment by someone else, nothing more. All the people talking him up have an economic incentive to do so. They make it sound like he found Tarantino out of nowhere, but in truth, Tarantino had already written True Romance and Natural Born Killers (both huge hits with huge casts) before Resevoir Dogs was made. Tarantino was more established than they make him out to be so it makes for a better documentary story and everyone can suck their own dick about how great they were to "find" Quentin T.
On another note, why is Samuel L. Jackson wearing a Kangol with a cock & balls pattern on it at 52:00?
1994. The last year on Earth when anything was possible. When you could wake up to a new day, dream, and start again. Within two years the web, the internet or whatever the fuck it's called.
Why don't you creat a time machine I would like to go back myself.
I know my shit!!!
AKA Creepy guy makes it big in Hollywood.
Cinema changed when Bender met QT.
If you morphed Cruze and MacConaghae you get Lawrence Bender.
Haha
reservoir dogs actually shows little violence but leaves the watcher imagining what occurred. even the cops ear removal is perceived by the views. the only violence is the shootout with the cops by mr pink and the ending when they all shoot each other. its easily one of my favorite films.
Kind of like there only being 1 on screen murder in Se7en.
and White killing the cops and shooting the lady in the car. but that's all.
Why am I mister Pink?!?!?!
