  • Like it or not, you can't deny Tarantino makes good movies. With Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino has almost hit his 10th movie. This video explores how his career has evolved, his approach to filmmaking, and his rise in the industry.

    Quentin’s quote on “if you love cinema with all your heart, you can’t help but make a good film” really inspired me to be that film maker. Years from now I will work my way nonstop to make those films that will inspire people the way mr Tarantino did for me.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@pocket83squared Mhm, quite a splendid break down of this modern masterpiece, if I do say so myself, in literature. You really did a great job representing the heart and soul of the original text, and explaining the complexities of it. However, I believe that one could in fact add a third point to your astute observation. You see, in the ending of the text it is stated that the main character’s, who’s name we are not given, but who we know represents the author, @absoluteego, himself, father is none other than Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth US President. Not only is this meant to further back up the honesty of his character, and thus the moral dilemma of the story, as President Lincoln is known as a good man and great leader, who won America the Civil War and abolished slavery. But he gets his name from the character of Abraham, who is present in Christianity, Islam and Judaism. In fact he is the namesake of the Abrahamic religion, which includes these three, as well as some minor Dualist faiths. It is also believed by Christians that he is legally the paternal ancestor of Jesus, and by Muslims it is believed that he is also the paternal ancestor of Muhammad. Both through a direct, traceable line. But what does this mean? Well, Abraham had two sons, one of them named Isaac. Isaac himself had a son named Jacob, who was known for wrestling with an angel, or God. For this he was given the name Israel, and he was thus the father of the twelve sons of Israel, creating a connection to not just also the Jewish faith, but the Jewish homeland. It is thus my belief that the original text references the struggle for the Holy Land between these three Abrahamic religions, and the uncertainty of its future. Just like the claims of @Nincotic, who the text was written in response to, were uncertain themselves. But that is just my take on this masterpiece of modern literature!

      Lots of movie have tons violence, what you say happens in every era, it happened with the gangster genre in the 30s (one of the reasons why the Hays Code was invented), it happened again with spaghetti westerns and with movies from the 70s, and if we go back in time at the end of 19th century and beginning of 20th, verismo operas like those of Giacomo Puccini, Pietro Mascagni and Ruggero Leoncavallo were criticized for having bloody scenes, maybe even further back with plays by Shakespeare (Hamlet's ending is bloody). I think this has been happening in film since the action and western genre were invented with The Great Train Robbery in 1903, imagine the public being alarmed by seeing fake deaths on screen, same with horror genre. Let's not forget that the same thing happened with video games. Only the most exaggeratedly religious are alarmed by this.

    • @isaacs3822
      @isaacs3822 Před rokem +12

      I can field this one: those critics are dumb. There’s a HUGE difference between homage and rip off and it’s found in the intent and execution. Homages are love letters - references to your influences, sometimes inside jokes or Easter eggs. A rip off is straight thievery - stealing another work and attempting to pass it off as your own (obviously. Who am I, Webster?) Much of what QT deals in thematically is loyalty, betrayal, revenge, etc. - all themes from movies he loved growing up. Movies that cultivated his love of cinema. Any artist is going to echo his/her influences in their work at least occasionally and QT never tries to hide it or pass it off as his own. If anything, you could argue he shines new light and/or opens the door for audience members unaware of what he’s referring to. So maybe that’s it: homages amplify the notoriety of the influence where ripoffs attempt to… rip it off. Damn, I thought I could end that more eloquently. Ah well. In conclusion, those critics are pompous nitpicky dickheads who hate joy.

      I don’t think so. While i adore many of Tarantino’s movies I think he is highly protective of his scripts and characters so I don’t think something free flowing like a table top rpg would be something he could jive with. From various interviews from people working with him as well as himself, he wants to tell HIS story and wants it to be told his way. That is very much in juxtaposition in what an rpg is. The players take control of their characters and write their stories, the dm merely provides the world they live in, in Tarantino’s world building his characters intrinsically tie everything together. That’s his strong suit as well, his characters and their interactions are the glue of his movies. He mentions his characters like a million times in this video alone lol.

    It just leaves me with one question? . . . The paradox of Tarantino is right there at the end of this video. There very last thing we hear him say is, “Why? Because we love making movies!” And that chorus of everyone joining in to say that with him will be familiar to his fans.
    We’ve all heard that chorus on the sets of various different movies Tarantino has made. We know he means it and that he has imbued that cultural sentiment into the DNA of all his sets, and quite deliberately too. It is as much of a managerial technique as it is a call of esprit da corps, said repeatedly to ensure that everyone there gets it and that no one needs to ask why they’re doing that extra take, re-writing an extra piece of dialogue, altering the lighting one more time, or doing any task that means extra work, extra effort and extra commitment. All whilst trying to keep the atmosphere light, rather than feeling too demanding or oppressive.
    And more power to him, if it works? Which I suspect it does, as he keeps repeating it on every movie set and has, by now, got a crew of reliable, familiar faces around him who all know his deal by now.
    So, my question is: Is Quentin Tarantino being completely honest with himself? That chorus may well be a managerial, “technique,” but it also comes from a deeply sincere place in his soul. This guy really does, “love making movies,” and he lives and breathes movie culture from head to toe. It’s the fibre of his very existence. And, while I hear him, not wanting to make an, “old man, out of touch,” movie and wanting to leave his audience on a high, what can a guy like that actually do with himself after his, “epilogue,” is in the can?
    I’ve heard him talk about writing novels, but I’ve already seen evidence that his skills as a writer are far better suited to scripts than novels. Sure, he may be happy to quite intentionally churn out some trashy, “pulp fiction,” but Cormac McCarthy he ain’t! We can not look to Tarantino for the next, “great American novel,” and he seems to know that about himself. He is a gifted story teller, without a doubt, and I count myself as a serious fan of his craft. But his gift is script writing and directing. He is about as good a novelist as he is an actor. He can get away with it in certain genres, but you wouldn’t want him messing about outside of his lane, distracting the audience.
    Will he wind up an insane recluse with the impulses of a Howard Hughes figure, declining in isolation, driven crazy by his commitment to a decision that he regrets, yet too proud to reconsider it? I doubt that. But I’m not convinced that a guy like him will be able to just fade from a limelight that he has become such an integral part of? His influence on, “the scene,” will be hard to let go of. Will he become a regular TV pundit and/or accept bit parts in movies, maintaining a cultural relevance for being that guy who can’t really act but adds a little zest to a movie because of his cultural baggage? Again, I can’t see it. And he’ll soon get bored with just writing.
    I guess I would hope, if he’s really committed to his semi-retirement, that he would do something important for the film industry and film makers of the future? Before his zeitgeist energy fades completely. If he were to use some of that momentum of his final movie to set up a film school or cultural centre, from which the graduates would get a prestigious head start in their careers; a place dedicated to digging out diamonds in the rough, people who wouldn’t have otherwise gotten their big break in Hollywood, now that would be awesome.
    After all, it was by benefitting from his own acting class connections that he was able to get the interest of Harvey Keitel for his breakout movie, Reservoir Dogs. So, no one knows better, through personal experience, what it means to get a little help from the right people at the right time.
    He could leave a legacy behind that outstrips the already monumental legacy of just his movies? Something that stands a little taller than just a filmography and sets him above the Scorsese’s, Hitchcock’s or De Palma’s of his Hollywood heritage? The, “Tarantino School,” would become a byword for quality and generate interest and excitement for the movies and film makers that come out of his institution?
    Perhaps I’ve got him all wrong? Maybe he just wants to get completely out of the industry and separate himself from it once he’s done? But, here’s hoping (just from my own somewhat selfish perspective) that Tarantino has the generosity and commitment to give something back and to do something truly wonderful with all those millions he’s earned; and all that experience he has in the art form that became such a part of his DNA from childhood and so embedded itself into our DNA too. Tarantino literally changed the world, at least culturally. He could do that again?

    Someone once said: “Love the movies, hate the fandom”
    Personally, I like his movies a lot. His use of prose in his scripts are just an absolute testament to the art of screenplays. The idea you can turn your screenplay into a novel without all that overwriting, and not make it just some sort of blue print is inspiring to me. His script to Pulp Fiction I really recommend if anyone wants to learn to just purely express themselves in their scripts. I sadly have not seen Pulp Fiction since I was a kid. So I can’t tell you if the script translates well however, judging by the critic and audiences, it’s safe to say it does. I know, I know, I gotta watch it! 😂
    Going back to that quote earlier, while I find it to be resonating, I do find myself making a counter argument to that. Because the fandom is what makes the filmmaker continue on to make his/her movies. Tarantino’s fandom really is…something else lol, that’s putting it very lightly. From my experience with his fans, I can’t get through one conversation without someone talking about this line from “Bastards” or this line from “Pulp Fiction.” Or this scene, or they have this poster from said movie of his. They’re passionate and that’s great. But he’s the and de facto of filmmakers; he’s not a god. I say that because a lot of the community (that I’ve spoken to, so take this as a grain of salt) look at him and praise him like he’s some sort of god figure. Which is weird I did meet him one time and…he was cool haha. Got that loveable laugh he does and the fast talking, he’s cool. Said hi, love your movies, and left it at that. But after that experience, it made me realize that these filmmakers have to eat, s**t, sleep, pay their bills just like us.
    Sometimes (and god forgive me but) I wish I can tell some of these devoted fans that praise him in this regard, that “you know he’s not going to pay your bills right?” Or “he’s not a god you know?” But I don’t want to say that because I don’t want to make them feel bad or defensive, because that person who loves his movies could be your new friend…besides no one is asking for your opinion until they ask for it. Lol
    Imagine getting your own fandom one day for the films you make. What then? Are you going to hate your own fandom for liking your movies? I know it’s an obvious question but this was something I was thinking about.
    This took me a long time to figure out after years of envy and jealousy for popular prestige filmmakers like Spielberg, Nolan, PTA, Anderson, etc. And in the end, they’re just people who just happen to make good entertainment, that’s it. Anyway, I just needed to express this. Is there really a point to this? Am I just putting attention on myself? Maybe but I just had to get this out of my system…will I delete this comment later probably? Yeah 😂.

      The drastic over lionization of popular icons is hardly exclusive to Tarantino fans. It's kind of a root of the word you are using to have a FANatic loyalty to their hero. That's why they are called fans. However, people seem to drastically overstate the importance of fandoms, and they do it themselves mainly to feel important. The consumer base and fan base aren't exclusive to each other, people casually consume his films too because the shit is good. Tarantino would make films if no one watched but him and three friends. You have to remember some people are moved by shit in a different way than you, he doesn't have to pay their bills to have impacted their life. God is dead, people are looking everywhere for a new one.

    FYI: There is a comic book series of seven issues that is the official sequel to "Django Unchained," the series is entitled "Django/Zorro," and yes, it is exactly what the title suggests: Django Freedman meets and joins up with the legendary Zorro! The series was co-written by Quentin Tarantino and Matt Wagner with Esteve Polls as illustrator, the series being published by Dynamite/Vertigo Comics. It is a great series that does a great job of capturing the feel of the film and character that was "Django Unchained;" brilliantly extending Django's story after destroying "Candyland" and rescuing his wife. There are even a few sweet and subtle nods, within the comic book series, back to the story portrayed in the film, (other than just Django himself.)

      QT's audience seems to overlook From Dusk Till Dawn. Rodriguez got the director credit but since QT wrote the script I can't believe he didn't play a sizable role in directing, camera work, staging, etc. QT had to have cast both Keitel from Dogs & Pulp and Clooney whom he'd directed in an ER episode the year before; Kelly Preston was Travolta's wife. RR surely brought Selma, Cheech and Trejo aboard, used his own film crew and handled the soundtrack: Stevie Ray, Jimmy Vaughn & ZZ Top, all from Texas like RR. Did you like FDTD more

      @@samcooper2474 Thanks for the gentlemanly reply, Sam, no name calling. You mentioned reality and I'm of the opinion there's two realities, the real life kind and the Hollywood version. A certain reality has to apply in LaLa Land too for movies to work (The Departed by Scorsese is a perfect example). What wowed me about QT in Dogs & Pulp was his non-linear storytelling, displacing a key scene that spills all the secrets and saving it for Act 3. Had QT not done so most of the suspense would get siphoned off too early in those two films. In Jackie Brown there was the bag switcheroo in the mall, but that wasn't as crucial to plot pacing as Orange working undercover or QT's dazzling who-did-what-when convolutions in Pulp. Isolating a pivotal reveal and making it work later in the story is clever AND incredibly difficult to do, but QT pretty much stopped doing that quite early in his career. With the exception of Death Proof and Hateful 8, I think all his movies are still good fun. For me OUATIH was the best QT movie since Kill Bill, I didn't like him pulling the alt history gag again because second time around I saw it coming in the trailer before I even saw the movie. Had WWII and the Manson murders played out like QT rewrote them the world would surely be a better place, but wasn't my point. Django signing his name with an X in the first minutes of the film then half an hour later telling a cowboy 'the D is silent' took me right out of the story however that was nowhere near as egregious as Schultz offing Candie. QT took great pains to establish Schultz as a careful calculating dude only to have him break character and shoot Candie because 'he got angry.' The way QT wrote him the fictional Schultz would have accepted that win some lose some scenario, pay Candie for the slave and tomorrow's another day. It seemed like a poor excuse to transform Django into Superfly just to make Act 3 an hour of bloodthirsty action. Being a fan I tend to watch film essays and interviews with QT---that's another problem altogether. QT's always been a motormouth, y'know that ain't no thang, but as time went by he also became very impressed with himself and isn't shy to tell the world. Usually I can separate the artist from their art, but QT is like Sammy Hagar in that regard: when they're among a group of people Quentin & Sammy will do ALL the talking. Nobody likes people like that, add QT's outspoken laissez-faire attitude about Weinstein & Polanski (among other opinions) and QT has turned into quite an unlikable guy. I'll always go see his new film on opening day, but I ain't cutting him the slack I used to.

    Quentin is a real artist. An artist does not create a story, they explore a story. True that they create the world and the characters, but that's as far as their manipulation to the story goes. Their imagination runs deep into the details, and they watch the characters interact with each other while they grab the paper and write it down. They don't know what'll happen next, they let their characters act it out, so they can direct actors to play what they seen in their imagination. It's an exploration, even for the creator themselves.
    It's vastly different when compared to modern writers. Modern writers are propagandistic. They have the ending in mind before the details are being written, an agenda to fulfill. Every single dialogue happen as a mean to an end, and not as an exploratory endeavor like a true artist. True artists show it all raw, without the writer interfering directly midway to manipulate the outcome. If changes were to be made, they rewrote the basis and start from the scratch.

    It's rare when you see someone like Tarantino. I'm glad people are giving him his flowers while he's still here.

    I so want Quentin to make a horror movie. I know he doesn’t think he can pull it off, but that a load of bull.

    i used to do what he said about his toys when i was a kid too, i wanted to be a director but you know life is tought, i think a lot of people tend to do that with their toys specially if you are really in touch with films or tv when your young

    Tarantino doing de Palma scrapbooks is very funny. If he was a zoomer he would be a letterbox user and make edits on tiktok

    It must be amazing to have that much passion for a craft. I can really need out on a hobby but Q is on a whole other level
