@morpheos111. That’s how it’s suppose to be!! Making movies is more than a job. For him it’s total dedication. Mind you this guy left school when he was 15.
Scorsese to the Columbia Pictures executive: "Hey Columbia Pictures executive, how you doing?" Columbia Pictures executive: "Okay, okay my man, how..? ... Where do I know you from, man?" Scorsese: "I don't know. How's everything in the movie censoring business, huh?" Columbia Pictures executive: "Do I know you?" Scorsese: "No. Do I know you?" Columbia Pictures executive: "Get out of here. Come on, get lost, huh?" Scorsese: "Do I know you?... How is Taxi Driver? You know Taxi Driver." Columbia Pictures executive: "No, I don't know no Taxi Driver. Taxi Driver? Come on, get out of here, man." Scorsese: "You don't know any movie by the name of Taxi Driver?"

Do me a favor, I don't want no trouble, huh? Okay?" Scorsese: "You got a gun?" Columbia Pictures executive: "Get the fuck outta here, man. Just get outta here!" Scorsese: "SUCK ON THIS!"
It is said that Tarantino did quite a similar approach to his film Kill Bill, Vol.1. When movie execs screened his film and told him to edit out more than half of the Crazy 88 fight scene with Beatrix, or face not so favorable movie classification for the whole film because of the gore and too much bloodshed, Tarantino decided to modify a large portion of the fight scene from full color to black and white to dull the senses and hopefully tone down extreme violence. In that same scene, Tarantino inserted a part where a female character shut off the lights during intense fighting that only the silhouettes of his characters can be seen to achieve less emotional intensity among viewers. In the end, Tarantino was able to have the whole Crazy 88 fight scene pass the movie execs approval and seemed to have quite favorable movie classification.
@akshay Viswambharan Violence and profanity are tools that are needed for a certain type of film, not every movie. Both Quentin and Scorsese utilize them pretty well. But, don't generalize Indian films. It appears that you haven't watched Indian cinema at all. There are multitude of classics, old and new, that either you don't know about or ignore, just in Bollywood itself. And yes, Bollywood is not the whole Indian movie industry. So many underappreciated and not popular gems lie in the beautiful diverse languages. Again, don't have a condescending attitude.
I've never thought that the cameo guy in the robert rodriguez flicks was such a great storyteller, maybe in another dimension he is a writer or something.
It's a true story. What happened is that after Marty desaturated the the blood, he was actually pleased because it made the scene (for him) even more nightmarish!
Given the Scorsese scene in the back of Travis's cab, the legend as opposed to the truth was printed. Seeing a new 70mm print in 1996 was one of the greatest cinematic joys of my life.
I heard that when they filmed the movie they knew ahead of time the shootout would be scrutinized, so the purposely used "orange" blood, which in my opinion looked MORE realistic and graphic!
Idk when this was recorded, but this definitely influenced Tarantinos thought process for Kill Bill where he made the bloodiest scene black and white in order to get that R rating
the colour desaturation part is true as i've heard scorsese talking about that in interviews but, the drunken plot to shoot his boss i've never heard that before
You see, this is what it is. He isn't only a filmmaker. He can tell a good story just when hes sitting there talking. That is a true storyteller, and a great filmmaker.
Quentin should have a show where we sit and just listen to him talking. Writing lessons, retrospectives on movies he likes, recommendations, interviewing contemporaries. Would work great on Netflix like My Next Guest with Letterman
I could listen to him for hours. Great storyteller. Very focused and well structured. And I never heard of this story before. Makes the movie even more intense. Greetings from Germany! 😊
My favorite Taxi Driver story was that the script originally called for all the villains to be black but Scorsese said "No dude, that's racist." So he made the character that Harvey Keitel would play a white pimp who acts like a white dude who thinks he's black and have him work for the Italian Mafia. This was a great choice because it made Kietel's character more memorable.
I also read that he became addicted to coke while making TD (that shot almost entirely at night) and once the film was finished he checked into rehab and spent a month cleaning up.
It would make more sense to shoot additional scenes so graphic and never meant to be approved and not vital to the film so that when the censorship comes in, what you cut makes what you have seem tame and keeps the integrity of the original film.
QT is something else and his outrageous screenplays mirror realistic attitudes with a sense of humor. I'm black and I think the most comical QT screenplay, Reservoir Dogs," with the Old Dude making talking outlandish shit [the Doris Day/Probation Officer sequence] that was realistic, funny, and Un-PC as somebody's (including my own) writing or medium of expression should be.
Why doesn't Tarantino just ask him? He's not some schlump like me out in the sticks wondering if it's true, he knows the guy. Go knock. He probably lives next door.
Maybe he would feel weird doing that? And of course even if he did know one way or the other framing this from a very neutral stance is still insightful.
Chase well either way, "cancel culture" doesn't do shit.. it's just entitled nobodies with nothing better to do on social media trying to act like they're morally better than others as if they're some fucking saints lol. It's just like "outrage culture" with how everyone flips out about shit for a day then goes back to their mundane bull shit or to the next thing they wanna whine about.
Not a reference but for the same reason "Originally, no black and white photographic effects were going to be used (and in the Japanese version, none are), but the MPAA demanded measures be taken to tone the scene down. Tarantino merely used the old trick for its intended purpose, rather than merely as an homage. "
BangoBuck87 Hey you bring up an extremely interesting point. What aspects of crazy people do you think tends for them to make the best art? Im very curious.
The final shootout scene is desaturated. There has been talk of restoring it with the film negative for decades but as I understand it the negative is either lost or too damaged. So release after release after release, the scene remains desaturated.
Just because he’s a great director on the list of the best in my opinion that doesn’t mean he’s not human you’d probably wonder what does that have to do with anything I’ll tell you this was the 70s and times were difficult everyone was doing cocaine and that shit does something to ya and make you unable to think straight Besides you ever Been in a situation where you wanted to do or make something but you weren’t allowed to because it’s too much and you tone it to a level where you don’t even see it as your work anymore
When you immerse yourself in a world you create from a picture to a video game for a huge period and pour your heart and soul in. It’s easy to see how characteristics of the world can paint or taint your outlook . Those things were probably inside in the first place
First word that comes into my head when I see Tarantino is "respect". He has so much respect for his peers and for true film makers. He's one of the most perfect artists this world has ever seen, in my opinion. Think about it, this man can do whatever he wants, and he has always done whatever he wants, in regards to his films. Try bullying Tarantino around, it's just not happening. Disney tried and fuck them, there's no holding a Tarantino film back, simply because we don't have many of these story tellers left anymore. And also the amount of knowledge he has about films is beyond incredible, science should preserve his brain, no fucking joke. It's an encyclopedia up there. Can't wait for his 10th film. If it's going to be the last one like he says it will, then I can't imagine how great it will be.
Do you know what a .44 magnum pistol would do to a Columbia executives face?
I mean it would fuckin destroy it.
Now imagine what it'd do to a Columbia executive's pussy
Now that you should see. What a 44 Magnum pistol could do to a Columbia executive's pussy you should see.

I didnt pick up on sexuality but i liked the comment because i thought it was the closest thing to humble ive ever heard from QT
Well I mean.....visually this is easily one of the most influential films for him....

Weird thing to say you think you notice. He lives and loves movies and it's Taxi Driver.

Kinda like Targets(1968) which is one of his favorite movies

Wanna hear Tarantino’s critique on Joker 2019
Hes gonna be like
"This movie needs Robert Rodriguez"
Leo Rodgz “where’s the feet”
Tarantino would love it I reckon, he loves the mcu movies as well
he is the joker
The new Joker sucked. Far from anything he'd ever do.
If Scorsese would've born in India, he would have blown the entire censor board.
He would have blown them????
@akshay Viswambharan oddly enough Taxi Driver was partially inspired by an Indian film called Abhijan
@@mattkidroske it is just searched on wikipedia

Your joke is very bad since you called him a cameo........duh!!
Tarantino loves murders
That is a man who is passionate about his work.
It's a true story. What happened is that after Marty desaturated the the blood, he was actually pleased because it made the scene (for him) even more nightmarish!
I don't know about the gun part but it is true about the tinting.
@Google User My guess is because it defuses it.
On the commentary he states he changed the blood from red to brown.
yeah i reckon it's the nearly murdering someone that's disputed
Given the Scorsese scene in the back of Travis's cab, the legend as opposed to the truth was printed.
Seeing a new 70mm print in 1996 was one of the greatest cinematic joys of my life.
There's no way Scorsese would confirm or deny this, after the way Tarantino told the story. lol
Lol exactly my thought
He actually confirmed it in an interview
Edit: don't remember the source tho. I think it was a thing with Spielberg

Unfortunately.
A Columbian executive survived that day
Another legend associated with that film is that Oliver Stone claims he was the inspiration for Travis Bickle.
Maybe that's why Scorsese later on made the movie "King of Comedy"
“ALLEGEDLY!!”😂😂

Don't come between an Italian and his art.

You see, this is what it is. He isn't only a filmmaker. He can tell a good story just when hes sitting there talking. That is a true storyteller, and a great filmmaker.
I heard he stayed awake all night drinking contemplating he was going to meet the man on the morning and deliver a really long monologue to him!
I miss this period in time. Tarantino just sitting in a chair talking about all these things

I could listen to him for hours. Great storyteller. Very focused and well structured. And I never heard of this story before. Makes the movie even more intense.
Greetings from Germany! 😊
If Scorsese had done that, the movie would have been 10x cooler if that's even possible

I don't think he really hit bottom till after New York, New York.
It would make more sense to shoot additional scenes so graphic and never meant to be approved and not vital to the film so that when the censorship comes in, what you cut makes what you have seem tame and keeps the integrity of the original film.

Or not as he says throughout the video lol

Two things. I love the black and white tea house fight in Kill Bill. But I also want to see the full color more violent version that came out in Japan
Have another line Quentin .
No one will notice.
So all it took was a slight change of color of the blood to go from an X to an R?
“He did that in lieu of killing a man…”

Well that was worth watching, WOW.
