I've never been disappointed with a Tarantino movie, one of the great story tellers.
At this point, I've never been disappointed by a Tarantino interview also
I've rewatched what has been deemed his worst movie (by him and the general public) "Death Proof", many more times than I've rewatched "Reservoir Dogs". I love this man's whole discography from head to toe, truly one of the best to do it.
This is because they are his movies. He writes them and they are his 'babies' as he likes to say. I don't think he'd be half the director he is if he was directing other people's work. Death Proof is the only film of his I have only watched the one time. I just never felt compelled to re-watch it as it was just an okay movie.
He is extremely racist person you might want read the Harvard published article about him!!!
@@solskjaer1195 Jackie Brown is based on a novel yet I think it's his best film. Granted, he wrote the screenplay and altered a few things but it's pretty much someone else's story and characters.
Quentin's entire aesthetic is recreating the cinema of his youth in the 1970s.
Making US look at movies the way HE looks at movies ❤️😊
Hey Im not complaining tho that works for me
Nah not all his movies are based of 70s aesthetic
But better
@@benjamindixon1904 no, but his film style is.
I like how everyone seems so boggled by Tarantino's style and 'where he got it from' when pretty much everyone who's a real moviegoer knows that's obviously how movies should be. He's just actualizing what every real true movie fan has always wanted to see and that's interesting characters, compelling situations and authentic but memorable dialogue.
I'm always amazed by how stupid journalists' questions are to him, even after all this time. The questions always seem like they come from someone who's never seen a single movie in their life before. "How did you come up with the idea of stylized violence"? "Stylized violence" has existed in cinema since the 1930's. lol
Not to mention he didn't invent shit, anime did it long before. Like his movies tho.
@@4Everlast Like the dialogue? or the violence? I assume you mean the stylized violence but I'm pretty sure he started the whole 'authentic dialogue' aspect with Reservoir Dogs and True Romance while further refining it in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. But I was saying real moviegoers have I think always wanted that is what I'm saying, but I'd say he's still technically the inventor of it or the first to really do it. Even Scorsese didn't quite have that.
@@Ryan88881 He didn't say he steals from the best for no reason. Direct quote. But he is a special director, from nobody to some of the best that ever did it ain't a small task.
I was talking about editing, frantic violence, stylized coherent mess let's say so, all came long before, in anime form, he just translated it to the big screen in a good way with his dialogue that's more of a literature peace then realistic talk but that's not a negative let's be clear.
@@4Everlast I'm sure he was just saying that to be modest and probably talking about the other aspects besides dialogue. On JRE he explained how people view his unique approach to casual dialogue among the films' characters which he did seem to have in fact invented (meaning he was merely the first to do it). I'm just saying that it's not a crazy thing to come up with and I'm sure most cinema heads were just thinking "finally" when he actually did it.
John Travolta as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction is still the greatest casting choice ever.
It was meant to be Michael Madsen.
And, Bruce Willis wanted that role instead of Butch.
What? wtf😂🤦♂️😅Cinema died in the 50s with the end of the golden era, but there is nothing more dumb and pathetic that a Tarantino film - it is BORING!!! Garbage like the rest of today's Garbage! Boring f**** garbage 🤣👉🇺🇲🧟♂️🍔🍟
Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa is better undoubtedly
Samuel Jackson tho!
@@delriowav You people are such clowns, u r f*** hilarious 😂
There’s no one like him❤️
He’s made 3 very good films in quick succession and has had flourishes of good scenes since.
No one builds tension like Quentin. He can make you interested n care about who's on the beach while showing you a tide closing in for their imminent death. He lights small, medium n large flames within 1 scene while maintaining your attention on something subtle and unexpected. Suddenly you're like a ball in a pinball machine. Getting ricochet by multiple plot points, character deaths, one liners n imagery you will NEVER FORGET.(like throwing a can into someone's face or seeing woman pluck someone's eyes out mid combat). Quentin without question is one of the greatest directors of all time.
I’m convinced your a press writer or something, this is beautifully said!
Oh get it off it. Lol
@adamtoofarwest9104 thank you that's really nice compliment, just really passionate about film
hitchcock is crying and pissing himself rn
Some of the dialogue in Inglorious Basterds were the greatest and most memorable scenes in the movie and has stuck with me many years later, the opening scene in particular was outstanding.
Easy, he watched good movies, bad movies and silky movies and he mixed them all up and added his own personal touch.
And as a result he's never made a single bad movie in his career. Amazing.
that's what i like about him. he doesn't 'discriminate' movies. he can watch a movie that a lot of people consider crap and appreciate what it has to offer.
True
wdym silky movies?
I doubt that the process of Tarantino developing his own filmmaking style was really that simple.
I like how the style of acting goes. How the table toss for example in Pulp Fiction wasnt in the script and they just went with it and it worked beautifully in the "say what" scene
Great to see Wallace interview these iconic guests! Just watched Django again last night. Brilliant.
I've met Mr Tarantino .
He was a coolest guy to me .
When I saw Kill Bill my mind went blown out of proportion..
Thank you Mr. Tarantino ...
Kill Bill is basically a lady Snowblood remake lol
So cool you got to meet him, same here! A couple of times actually. Once he answered a question about filmmaking at SD Comic Con and more recently, my buddy and I saw him chillin at his theatre the New Beverly Cinema while watching "Once Upon a Time". We told him what a masterpiece it was, he shook our hands and was a very kind guy. He clearly respects and cherishes his fans and fellow filmmakers. Cheers to whatever his grand finale may be!
@@matthewrocca4197 i hope to meet him one day too and take a piece of advice from him about story telling.
Stuck in the middle with you. Is the perfect part of the lyrics for the audience to be there. 0:30 Also how it waited for it to show the person sitting there right after saying stuck in the middle with you. Leaving two interpretations open till the last moment. That's if you're only looking at that one scene. Also how the music just cuts out. Leaving the scene just looking at what's about to happen.
Then there's also I just scared of all my chairs. Bringing attention to the person being in a chair. By drawing attention to the opposite of what you're hearing.
Wish this was several hours longer. Great interview.
His films and movies are solid and feel super grounded but stylized.
The enthusiasm in QT in this interview is enough to make any one want to watch his movies. He is like one of them nerds in school who you think is actually quite cool, and respect him for not following the crowd and being different. The guys a genius when it comes to cinema let's be honest.
this is a true story.
my grandfather passed away, unexpectedly, on 3/10/94. my grandmother, while still in good health and finances, decided soon thereafter to move to my hometown of valdosta, ga to be closer to her daughter, my pops, my older brother and i.
(there was the messy business of my parents divorce that summer but that's a tale for another time.)
so mimi and i become thick as thieves soon after her arrival; out on the town we were - dinners, shopping, movies. rummy and late night with dave letterman. through all the turbulence, we had a each other and it was a genuine, solid connection.
i'll never forget the day she picked me up from school and said, "looks like we we're headed to see john travolta's dancing comeback this weekend."
i was nine years old. my john travolta connection was look who's talking - not saturday night fever, grease, urban cowboy, or whatever else he'd done up to that point. needless to say, i responded with, "oh, ok."
mimi wanted to leave the the theatre about 30 minutes into pulp fiction. she went so far as stand up and tug on my arm to do so.
i'm glad i stood my ground, telling her no.
from october of 1994 through may of 2000 we screened every movie we could together at ashley cinemas, or the valdosta mall.
honey bunny, pumpkin, jules, vincent, brett, lance, marcellus, mia, (lance again, with jody and trudy and vincent's incredulous, "i gotta stab her three times?"), captain koons, butch, esmerelda, fabienne, maynard, zed, and well, shit. . . i forget the rest.
shout out to the gimp, jimmy, and the wolf.
so yeah - godspeed to mr. travolta and his dance moves.
I don’t want him to ever stop making movies there just so good
It really is amazing how no matter how many years go by, Tarantino ends up getting the same stupid questions in interviews as if he hasn't answered them 1,000 times already.
Well every good has a negative response equally, just like if a bomb girl post nudes she might like the job but now she cant become a librarian at a school, she capitalized on sex, tarentino did the same but with violence, when you capitalize on relatively taboo topics then people tend to wanna ask about it since its more rare, it’s a byproduct he has to accept and seems to have since he’s gotten older,
But yea its definitely lazy interviewing but the news are just trying to capitalize too, and everyone knows news outlets only thrive based on how much they talk about negativity
He seems to enjoy answering them. You can’t get tired of listening cinema analysis
I noticed Wallace keeps staring at the pen on his desk
I hadn't thought about it til you said that, but I guess that explains why he didn't actually answer many of his questions, and just went off to another (probably more interesting) tangent
Interesting and somewhat paradoxical interview - Wallace's questions are very obvious and quite thin, but Tarantino's responses are incredible - almost as if he's being asked different questions. Tarantino's generosity is at at the fore here.
Genius. He made Brad Pitt driving the coolest most engaging thing ever
I agree with Quentin 100%. You let the characters speak. It can't be the author speaking, it must be the character. If we listen to people, our friends and even strangers we may overhear, we'll recognize how each one thinks, speaks, reacts.
If you really do want to write as good as this guy it's actually easy. You can see and hear the "secret" tool he has. If you look at the monotone and bland attitude towards questions asked ABOUT the scenes versus the way Quentin describes how he established it you can easily see that PASSION is the secret.
If you are intently passionate about the story you want to share it will be an amazing story.
You just need to write a few if you desire his level of influence and stature in the field. That doesn't mean that the story you are doubting can't be that "first great script" people will be talking about 25 years from now.
He's just so humble talking about his own movies. Just a genius could write something like that. I love all the movies and the man himself. He's the one who gives my life a light on the horizon, every single day. Thank you Quentin! And finally, see you next year in London. A dream come true.
Lol "humble when talking about his movies" is not how Quentin Tarantino has ever been described.
@@TheTuttle99 Right? I thought, humble? Not really.
Yeah he’s absolutely not humble about it. That’s okay too, but yeah, not humble
CNN blurs the f-word but not a curse.
Love tarantino!
Nicely done TBF. Would not have expected Chris Wallace to have had such good rapport with Tarantino
Nice interview. That shooting up the face bit was proper shocking! Inglorious Basterds is a masterpiece.
I love Quentin Tarantino films!
Love all of his movies
Quintin Tarantinos love for storytelling is so entertaining
2:40 the NERVE of the interviewer saying “what” at that moment
in filmmaking, anything that can garner a strong emotional reaction at all from the audience is a valuable commodity, and depicting violence is a very straightforward means to do so
It’s gotta be so tiring still having to talk about this movie 30 years later. Dude has been asked and answered every damn question
Yeah. This is old tired stuff.
Just watched Violent Night and the whole theater was in stiches with the over the top violence. Definitely something cathartic and very real there.
The love child of Bob Hope and jack lemmon just so happens to be one of the greatest movie directors of all time
@Antonio-Gransci You are fully entitled to your opinion, even if it's one that doesn't change my mind in the slightest...
@Antonio-Gransci You are absolutely correct.
Great choice to have Travolta dance. I’d never seen Tarantino comment on that scene and he captured the sentiment of it exactly.
I’m 23, I’ve been watching Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and True Romance for the past decade if not a little longer. I’ve watched them all recently this year again, and ALL still hold up! From Dusk Till Dawn isn’t talked about enough, another all-time favorite and QT KILLED his role with Clooney
elite tarantino movies
Exactly. I recently watched the Samuel Jackson/Chris Tucker scene in Jackie Brown again and forgot how good and memorable just that scene alone was. Also the cinematography in the opening sequence of the restaurant scene in Pulp Fiction is really something when you go back and view it with a 'cinematographic mindset'.
Don’t forget kill bill & inglorious bastards!
@@BucaneerBri Those PLUS Django and you’re absolutely right 😎👍🏻
True Romance is a masterpiece that doesn’t get enough love
What I like in his films are what I call "The Tarantino moments", situations where if you didn't know who made the film, you would know after you saw that part. The best example is Butch going back in to save Marsellus Wallace. Another good one is in Basterds when British spy's cover is blown and there is a few moments of chit-chat, but you know all hell is going to break loose. I hope he changes his mind and doesn't stop at 10 films.
Can you please remake the warriors.....I can't think of a better director that will be able to provide an exceptional remake
Real talk I love his work I saw almost the majority of his movies🤔
What have you not seen?
I appreciate QT's enthusiasm in all his interviews!
I notice no one seems to ask an obvious question: Is it your intention or coincidence that you resurrect so-called 'has been' actors' careers? Although this may be obvious, it would be great to hear his answer to this.
He has answered that in another interview though, he basically said that he doesnt set out to "resurrect" anyone's career, but he doesnt worry about if the actors are popular at the moment or not, he picks them according to who's right for the part, sometimes it coincides with actors who are box office magnets, and sometimes it doesnt
Tarantino is such a movie nerd lol its why he makes the best movies
Tarantino has just taken ideas from the past and remade it in his one style. Tarantino is good, but directors like Kubrick, Fellini, Fincher, or Lynch are more innovative in my opinion.
I'll add Sergio Leone to that list.
Pure Genius
Movies MOVE. Movement is action. Action in dramatic conflict is violence.
It's no wonder mainstream reporters are always baffled by his films and their inspirations because they were inspired (among others) by everything outside the mainstream - cult, exploitation, grindhouse, arthouse, dime store novels, slashers, kung fu movies, and the general milieu of the 60's and 70's.
This man never disappoints ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Write down an idea and stop for the night is a terrific piece of advice for people that work better at night
Tarantino scored high with our people when he made The Inglorious B. Every Jewish-minded person loves this movie. It's actually a WW2 dark comedy with over-the-top violent scenes. That was always Quentin's unique film style, as I describe it.
One of my favorite things about his style and work is he could have 2-3 guys conversating calmly in a room for 3-5 minutes and escalate the situation then bam! they all kill eachother.
Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, Kill Bill. Name it, Mr. Tarantino is the 🐐 of storytelling. Marvel Directors should take notes from this guy
Marvel directors don’t know how to take notes, sir. They just understand cgi and explosions.
@@southlondon86 You must not have seen a lot of Marvel movies or DC movies.
If you think everything is about Quentin drama movies then I feel sorry for you.

Pulp Fiction, best movie ever period! It changed the way I see movies forever!
bad taste
When it comes to Violence it doesn't get any "Better " or More Violent that " Inglorious Basterds " ..BRILLIANT!!!
By taking influence by other filmmakers and adding his own touch.
His MO is rewriting history and Revenge. He is brilliant
My heart really goes out to Mr. White. That he has to explain himself over and over again.😮
Violence can be aesthetically beautiful which no one wants to admit. This isn't to say i am pro-violence in real life. i am pro-violence in a fictional setting. Real violence causes suffering and i am against suffering.
Dick dale Ghost rider!!!! 🤌🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥🔥
Um
A true genius. Could listen to him talk forever.
Clever of Wallace to ask the tired old questions (violence, dialogue, revived actors) in forms QT was happy to address - mostly, where did that come from?, rather than questioning QT's right/taste in doing so.
..he is one of the four kings that's for damn sure!..what a G..💥💯👌
I understand Tarantino getting annoyed at the question of violence in his films. Anyone who is an artist has an imagination, and that imagination can go to both wonderful and very dark places. It doesn’t mean you mean it or want to do it, you’re just letting your imagination run riot for entertainment purposes, to make your story exciting.
I think when writing Inglourious Basterds not knowing that it would end with killing Hitler originally translated to the audience in a great way. I remember watching it thinking the whole time it was going to fail, then when it actually happened in the most absurd blaze of glory it was hilariously surprising.
Tarantino is clearly what George R R Martin would call a gardener
Great interview Tarantino is in a class by himself
U can tell he wanted to see more of his scene lol thats someone who loves his job
Tarantino is too good for CNN
For me the hateful eight and django unchained is something i will never forget
My all time fav filmmaker Mr Queinton
The secret to Tarantino dialogue is that there are really very few protagonists. And even the protagonists are like 80 grit sandpaper.
He watched "Drugstore Cowboy" ......viola......steal the style.
i love him so much!!!
Chris Wallace's talent was wasted over at Fox 🦊 Faux NEWS & Entertainment and I'm glad he came over from the dark-side,
Definitly one of the all time greats: Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Stone, Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino, Alejandro Innaritu, David Lynch, a few more can't think of at the moment
He's a cinephile at heart!
QT, great director.
1:00 a good recent example of this is a certain scene in Talk to Me
Django Unchained seemed like Blazing Saddles meets Scarface to me. Might be the reason I watched it 30 times.
I wish this gone on for 5 hours
Nah thank you. Pass.
Tarantino in one word: RITUAL
I wonder what he thinks about Deadpool. He’s his kinda humor
If Quentin really does quit after his 10th film I think his list of films will go down as the greatest and most consistent of any director.
Dang, I want to see the rest of the interview!!
This man is a genius and is an American jewel .. long live the goat
He refuses to ever admit he got the dance sequence from Fellini’s 8 1/2.
great classic movies by a great director I’m a big fan of Tarantino
One of the all time favorites best director writer
Tarantino try to say that violance in movies is natural part of life and real
If we can't get a Vega brothers movie he better damn write a book at least
Tarantino is my favorite writer , Director of all time. However, I would have to say that hateful eight was merely OK. Just felt that is Kurt Russell’s character should’ve been in it for a lot longer and it could’ve had a much better ending and that’s saying a lot because usually Tarantino’s endings to his films are awesome.
Read his book. It's terrific.
I was tripping too hard on mushrooms the other day and I watched reservoir dogs 3 times in a row then hateful 8.
His dialogue feels like music
And like a song I remember all the dialogue like lyrics.
This dude is king Midas with movies literally
Genius pure genius.
He needs to make a movie with Scott Eastwood
Right?
I don’t ever think of violence when I think of what makes a Tarantino movie a Tarantino. News producers are so insanely annoying.
wonderful interview
"Say [organic] one more #@$$^ time".
3:04 very interesting perspective.
Awesome writer and director. He is all over the place of multi layers of characters developing. He needs to write another the movie with John Travolta. 👍🏼💙
QT is the Lee Van Cleef of interviews.
We gotta protect that man by all means for the sake of true entertainment really, God makes him come up with all these interesting ideas, screenplays and scenarios. He’s definitely the best in Hollywood, he never makes a mistake in his movies.
People still boo the hateful eight but to me it’s the apotheosis of his love for movies, it’s a masterpiece and nobody talks about it
Hes probabky the only director were if you asked people to list your top 5 QT movies youd get a different response every time
the interviewer i so alien to tarantino it's so funny.
