Him and Scorsese both. I've often looked up movies I'd just seen on Wikipedia only to find out that Scorsese helped digitalize/preserve it or Tarantino championed it. They're serious about films, it's wonderful.
@@Kareragirl If it is incredible there are several videos and interviews of them talking about their favorite movies and you can see that they really not only direct for money but also for the love they have for the cinema, when they talk about their influences or movies that they like they get so excited Like a 9 year old boy opening a gift that Santa Claus brought him. It's just amazing that there are people like that who really love their work and Scorsese and Tarantino are movie buffs with capital letters.
Notice when he said at right at the end ( got a crush on her part ), is kind of sped up & awkwardly ended. Hmmm, what's happening in here Quentin ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Once Tarantino finishes his last film, I really hope he ends up starting a youtube/podcast series, I could listen to this guy talk about movies forever
(which he started to do grudgingly, arms crossed... until he became totally engrossed in the movie, with a childlike smile of awe at witnessing an incredible - and totally unexpected - work of art)
@@romilrh Yeah, I just had to complete an imaginary scenario that popped into my mind, although I just can't quite make out the voice doing the narration. Although I can tell you it ain't Ron Howard and it ain't Morgan Freeman.
As a born and bred Hongkonger, there’s a sense of pride hearing an esteemed director like Quentin talking about Hong Kong movies with such passion. Some of these movies I have not even seen!
Without Tarantino I would not have discovered Hong Kong movies. Thank you for introducing to the world this great hidden art form. Even though the more recent movies are not as great as the 80s and 90s they are still better than most of Hollywood’s garbage. Wong kar wai and John woos work are simply the best of all time.
"Hidden art form". Bro, Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee put HK cinema on the map way earlier than Tarantino and despite him. But, I apologise if by HK movies, you mean films like Chungking Express, etc. , and the directors you named.
I don't know why it's so enjoyable to just watch him talking. He's so natural and authentic. I would never think seeing this that this would be one of the greatest film directors of all time if I didn't know who he was
Just watched the film on MUBI and am in love with the sound and the stories and the love. Immediately watched this video after and will be watching a lot more. Thanks Quentin!
Quentin imparted his knowledge of Hong Kong films that even Hongkongers (At the time) are hard to appreciate. Mainstream Hong Kong cinema in the late 80s and early 90s centered around big name actors and genre specific movies like the Mo Lei Tau comedy of Stephen Chow which always pour in big box office money to the studio. Or comedy action of Jackie Chan , and of course the ubiquitous cinema of Andy Lau
Watched the film years ago! It was one of the most original movies made up to date. Nothing predictable about it but every moment of the film was captivating.
such an extensive knowledge of movies. A director i only HEARD about today and of course hes seen all of the movies and knows all the cast and the directors descisions
to be fair wong kar wai is one of the most important directors of modern cinema. at the time of this video he was already incredibly critically acclaimed worldwide so a fellow director knowing about him is kind of to be expected.
@@yeahmanforeva yeah lol I'd literally only just heard of him the day i commented that, I now realise the extent of his influence after watching all of his films lmao
I remember back when the Rolling Thunder video release of Chungking Express dropped from Tarantino. I was just out of high school and working in a video store. I never understood why he didn't follow it up with Fallen Angels. Would have been a nice one-two punch. I've been a WKW fan forever, and Fallen Angels is my favorite film of his to this day.
At the very beginning of "Chungking Express," during the credits, she's the woman with the paper bag over her head. Later she's wearing the blonde wig.
Just here to be the 400th comment and say that I was surprised that Quentin reviewed this movie so intensively (i assume) purely for our entertainment. Very informed and interesting review that made me like him way more as a person (and both see and respect him as a knowledgeable talking head in cinema) than watching any of his movies ever has. Very surprised also with how entertaining his manner of speech is and how witty, intelligent and an overall culturally aware and knowledgeable he sounds. I assumed him to be way more of a self assured pompous prick SPF from Portugal :)
I can totally see whole generations growing up on Uncle Quentin's film reviews and documentaries on films. He could become the Mr. Rodgers of film review because he's already the Tarantino of movie making!
I had forgotten about this - but QT had a series of affordable VHS versions of obscures/imports with the intros/outros, I had this one and a few others. Wonder where they are now.
video starts -wait, Tarantino is tilted. a few seconds later -wait, he isn't tilted anymore! I didn't even notice it. another few minutes -he is tilted again! How can I not notice it!
Watch the sequel (kind of) Fallen Angels ...it's like the other side of this coin. Wong Kar Wai is one of my favorite directors ever. In the Mood for love was amazing too.
Fucking awesome video thanks whom it may concern! I watched a short on chunking by Garo studios and fell in love with it and here I am love you Tarantino
I like how all of the comments are about QT than the movie lol or the director he mentions. But his mentioning of the female actor and swordmaster 2. I'm going to check it out now hehe
@@panigrahikaushik2942 Do a search on "Google". There are two releases of it: Mei Ah Entertainment, and Kino. The Mei Ah is 97 minutes, the Kino 90 minutes. The stars in it: Tony Leung, Faye Wong, Wei Zhao, and Chang Chen. It was produced by Wong Kar Wai, and directed by Jeffrey Lau.
Its awesome how much he loves talking about films, he truly lives for this.

wish i was still in my cocaine period
9:03 "I don't know anybody who has seen this film who hasn't got a crush on her" SPITTING FACTS
I don't. I think it's a decent film, but I didn't like her at all.
Notice when he said at right at the end ( got a crush on her part ), is kind of sped up & awkwardly ended. Hmmm, what's happening in here Quentin ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
AGREE
@@UranusAnalyst it's other side of Quentin ❤️
She's astoundingly beautiful in this film, just as Michelle Reis in "Fallen Angels"
Once Tarantino finishes his last film, I really hope he ends up starting a youtube/podcast series, I could listen to this guy talk about movies forever
Check out the video archives podcast, he hosts it with the co writer of pulp fiction
Yeah, there’s plenty of Video Archives excerpts on UA-cam
Wong Kar wai >Quentin
Ok FINE Quentin, I'll watch Chungking Express
ITS SO GOOD
(which he started to do grudgingly, arms crossed... until he became totally engrossed in the movie, with a childlike smile of awe at witnessing an incredible - and totally unexpected - work of art)
@@ernestolombardo5811 lmao I've already seen it years ago, and that was definitely me the first time I watched it. Masterpiece

i love it when he says "i will never be able to see California Dreaming again" and years later using that song in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Hong Kong cinema isn't what it used to be, sadly. Then again, neither is Hollywood.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 still sum good ass movies coming from probably both sides of cinema
@@annaclarafenyo8185 good directors and actors just come and go
just wanted to say that hong kong is beautiful, you should be very proud !
hong kong action cinema are my favorite movies... I went to hong kong when I was 11
In The Mood for Love is one of the most beautifully shot films I've ever seen. It's a very captivating watch
His enthusiasm is infectious.
why is the camera still but Quentin looks like he's being rotated constantly
it's to keep you focused, human attention automatically stays on when there's a move
He’s in front of a green screen.
The movie has weird rotation as well...I guess he wanted to give that feel as well 👍
@@cezarypiatek2564 it just distracts and gives me headaches
@@cezarypiatek2564 bullshit
The funniest thing I know is Tarantino saying: "Hi, I`m back" at 01:35. With his jacket and his face. Cracks me up.
Such a beautiful film. Aesthetically astounding. Nuanced and deep even while keeping you at arm’s length.
Without Tarantino I would not have discovered Hong Kong movies. Thank you for introducing to the world this great hidden art form.

Christopher Doyle deserves a lot of credit for the romantic, mysterious, neon Honk Kong charm of this film (and many other Kar-wai Wong films).
this mans just fed me so much nerdy knowledge in 12 minutes I love it.
Just watched the film on MUBI and am in love with the sound and the stories and the love. Immediately watched this video after and will be watching a lot more. Thanks Quentin!
California Dreamin' in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was pretty good too :D
Yup, stole it.
my thoughts tooooo.......

Que increíble, recién veo esta película, me encantó y me encuentro este análisis del maestro Tarantino.
Watched the film years ago! It was one of the most original movies made up to date. Nothing predictable about it but every moment of the film was captivating.
Dude, what a legend this man is. He summed that movie up awesomely.
Wong Kar Wai films are all worth watching. My faves are Fallen Angels, Days Of Being Wild, In The Mood For Love, & 2046.
So dope to see my fav director talking about one of my favourite films :)
The reason why Tarantino draws me back to Hong Kong classics movie is the reason why I love him so much.
really like this youtuber, deserves more subscriber
such an extensive knowledge of movies. A director i only HEARD about today and of course hes seen all of the movies and knows all the cast and the directors descisions

What makes Tarantino the GOAT is his movie knowledge and his love for HK movies.
I remember, when I was running a few video stores, being super excited when these "Rolling Thunder presents" movies got released... on VHS! :)
At the very beginning of "Chungking Express," during the credits, she's the woman with the paper bag over her head. Later she's wearing the blonde wig.
Her name is Brigitte Lin. A retired Taiwanese actress.
I’ve watched it four times and I know I’ll watch it again.

SPF from Portugal :)
Happy Together and In The Mood are my favorite of his films.
Just watched the film and found this video... And Quentin you are absolutely correct man✌🏼
QT wearing Phat Farm is blowing my mind. Love Wong kar wi. Happy Together is a total masterpiece. The soundtrack is top tier.
Wow. He's so calm and chill and likable. Quentin was cool in the 90s...
Went to theaters to watch it 4 times in the week it was released and skipped school to do so.
Literally me right now but at home
There's passion in his voice.
I can totally see whole generations growing up on Uncle Quentin's film reviews and documentaries on films. He could become the Mr. Rodgers of film review because he's already the Tarantino of movie making!
after watching wong kar wai films, so far the endings always make me yearn to watch more, as if there was a sequel to it
I can't agree more!! Absolutely true. Great movie
This youtuber seems like someone who could win an oscar
My first kar wai film is chungking express but favorite one is ashes of time😇 a really underrated gem 💎
I had forgotten about this - but QT had a series of affordable VHS versions of obscures/imports with the intros/outros, I had this one and a few others. Wonder where they are now.
Gotta give it to him. Quentin knows film and is passionate
For me wong kar wai is one of the best... in the mood for love is a masterpiece
I simply love this video.
This is a real treat.
Thank you Professor, Tarantino.
I just took a film appreciation lesson from Tarantino! (And I loved Chungking Express, btw.)
video starts
-wait, Tarantino is tilted.
a few seconds later
-wait, he isn't tilted anymore! I didn't even notice it.
another few minutes
-he is tilted again! How can I not notice it!
Tarantino is still doing this - you guys should check out his episodes on the Pure Cinema Podcast
According to UA-cam subtitles, 'Wong Kar Wai' goes by 'One car wise'.
Watch the sequel (kind of) Fallen Angels ...it's like the other side of this coin. Wong Kar Wai is one of my favorite directors ever. In the Mood for love was amazing too.
Gotta love this guy!
This is somewhere between a Dutch angle and the feeling you get after taking Ketamine.
It is funny. I watched Chungking today and thought of Breathless while watching it.
Good to know I wasnt alone.
I really like this side of Tarantino. Even when I disagree with him (Not that I do here!), I think his analyses of films are fascinating.
Chungking Express is great but bro Fallen Angels is on another level
Absolutely
Yes it is.
What a great great film, one of my fav of all time
my dream is to watch this movie with Tarantino at 2am and talk about how much we like the movie
Thanks Quentin !
I love Reservoir dogs and Jackie brown Thank you Mr Tarantino
It's so UA-cam - like that I can't believe this is 90's and he's mentioning tapes. 💜
Hmm, there is nothing more 90s than dutch angles and magazine cutout collage backdrop
Tony Leung is in two minutes of Days of Being Wild. Check out Happy Together.
Reservoir Dogs will always be my favorite film.
Ashes of Time. ✊
When Tarantino makes a video like this, I don't think there would be any reason not watching this movie.
where was this yt channel all this time... Better than filmschool. Thnx
Quentin Tarantino is a mark of Wong Kar-wai as we are, i love it
If Tarantino said so yeah I believe that....Legend always true 🤛
Fucking awesome video thanks whom it may concern! I watched a short on chunking by Garo studios and fell in love with it and here I am love you Tarantino
I like how all of the comments are about QT than the movie lol or the director he mentions. But his mentioning of the female actor and swordmaster 2. I'm going to check it out now hehe
I loved th movie, stayed myself in Kowloon in Chungking mansions
The Best thing about QT is that he loves foreign films, his fans should too
Does anyone know where I can find all these QT presentations? They're amazing!
What a nice movie abd nice talk, This was the media before big tech companies took it over
this is so cool
QT does not sound like he's a fan of Ashes of Time ... I love that movie, a visual feast with a very cryptic story full of philosophical nuances !
See "Chinese Odyssey 2002" for another fun Faye Wong performance. And she does the theme song.
Where can I find it?
@@panigrahikaushik2942 Do a search on "Google". There are two releases of it:
Mei Ah Entertainment, and Kino. The Mei Ah is 97 minutes, the Kino 90 minutes.
The stars in it: Tony Leung, Faye Wong, Wei Zhao, and Chang Chen.
It was produced by Wong Kar Wai, and directed by Jeffrey Lau.
So glad I watched this, would never have heard of fallen angels otherwise
Can ANYBODY point me to where/when this is from. I want more of 90s Quentin.
It’s a happy place
holy shit young quentin tarantino is so handsome
11minutes of explanation about 'WHY I LOVE CHUNGKING EXPRESS' by Tarantino
Genial😍
I don't know where this is from but I love how the auto-generated captions transcribe the director's name as "one car why".
My favorite film from him is “in the mood for love”.
Chungking express is a great film
0:39 days of being wild was my first wong wai film
2021 wow
It’s a shame Rolling Thunder never made it as a DVD label. I still have my discs of this and Switchblade Sisters
Before ‘Chungking Express’ Faye Wong seemed to be a TV actress.
I’m biased... but as a “Heung Gong Jai,” Chung King Express is a great film.
"Hi I'm back..."
lol that was quick as fuck.
We all know that the real reason that made Tarantino fall in love with this movies is the feet scenes
This dude knows his Hong Kong films
Anyone knows what is the name of the program Tarantino is presenting? I would like to see more recomendations.
What is this from? I've seen so many of these, but I want the full experience :D
One of the best Hongkong film
