He's unusually well dressed there.
Mr Plainview Hahah
cus now he's a "man"
Shadows Jackie Brown being his most reserved film
When I met him in LA as a teen, it was strange I asked him for his autograph and told him I loved Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and I loved Riche in From Dusk till Dawn. He rebuffed me at first, because he was talking to five other people there one of them being Shelly Winters. Then about five minutes, he comes over to our table and says "Here you go David." He gave me a drawing of Richie and signed QT with nice little note and he apologized saying that he and several of those people seated at his table own the restaurant and they come her to unwind and talk writer/producer/director business. He sat at he table across from us and had a ten minute conversation with us and then a lady arrived and they were talking. We asked where was Mira Sorvino (he was dating her at the time) and he said she's sleeping. It ended with my sister giving him her screenplay and a polite and causal goodbye. He is a brilliant man and truly nice guy.
What happened to her screenplay
All of this sounds annoying and pathetic
@@gheetuio8640 it ended up in the trash along with her tits and cunt
@@Louie_The_Dago who’s annoying and pathetic, the visionary director or the whiny white guy arguing to a blank wall in UA-cam comment sections.
Didnt you ask why she was sleepin in?
for a guy thats only done 8 feature films, his body of work is actually remarkable,
even if your not a fan of his over the top style, no one can deny his legacy is set as an all time great director and writer.
Not many filmmakers around that are making truly passionate work, that take no bullshit when it comes to their ideas. Hes a dying breed
Well, Tarkovsky only made 7 and is highly regarded as one of the absolute masters. Doesn't matter making more or less films if you're truly great.
I’ve been a fan since Reservoir Dogs but what QT has done really well is know how to sell his brand of film, which is a mix of low brow exploitation movie making with Melville and Leone influences. His movies are fun to watch and they’re a clever mashup of lesser known references. But I wouldn’t consider him as one of the greats because his writing is so blunt. It draws so much attention to itself that it often is a deterrent. Sometimes it’s spot on and perfect and other times it just doesn’t know when to ease off and stop sounding so forced. Death Proof and Hateful 8 are the most painful to rewatch. I always skip the motel portion of Pulp Fiction.
Even in OUATIH, the film is pretty great until the cheesy Manson family scene in the car that and that clunky dialog and delivery kicks in. And the ending is such a teenage boy fantasy that it kind of sours the film a bit. And Pacino’s dialog of how he watches the separate movies and shows on very distinct media is so dorky and in love with itself that even the great Pacino sort of ends up looking like a buffoon.
All of his films are flawed by there are enough moments that stand out to give them a very distinct presence. In his latest two, it’s just felt like diminishing returns and I no longer hold his films in such high esteem.
Even Malick isn’t immune from finding the right balance of inventiveness and recycling. I don’t think QT is in the same category of the film greats but he’s become an example of a guy who makes very specific films that earn a ton of attention because he knows how to market independent films like comic books. It’s fun, the films are good, some are great, and most have some memorable scenes, but overall, his films are not as exceptional.
@@djstarsign I think it’s just a matter of preference I disagree with every point you make
One of the greatest directors of all time. They'll be studying him for a thousand years.
My favorite director of all times.
"You don't write a Bronson movie ask Bronson to read." Made my day. Love QT.
Ha Spielberg was pretty damn confident about that opening Private Ryan scene!
Haha he was spot on too
Wow thanks for posting this. Best Tarantino interview i've ever seen. He's a different QT in it. What love can do to a men.
Did you see his interview after PF came out? I think it was better than this one in my opinion.
minkymott what is PF?
Pulp Fiction.
link me baby... thanks :)
and then he went hyper QT afterward with kill bill interviews and beyond
This man is brilliant. You can hate his films/love them. He does exactly what a film maker is designed to do. He is a story teller. I personally love the idea of how he created films, in regards to how he changed history. Inglorious bastards may have seemed over the top. But who wouldn't like the idea of Hitler being killed by a group made up of Jewish people? Same goes with Django Unchained. A former slave/bounty hunter, getting revenge on those who were for slavery. I have never seen any films of that nature. The list goes on with the rest of his films.
Charlie Rose is so good. Really responds and continues to add to the conversation
Steven Spielberg sure delivered the best Omaha Beach landing scene. :)
Yeah I just watched this and this part made me keel over. He was so fuckig right lmao. Called the heck out of that.
49:21 Such a great moment.
he said n**** 50:11 . wow hahah
Surprise surprise, there was a time before the bullshit restrictions on speech, though, etc. as we currently experience them today. It was a much more honest world.
I love how they added some poppy music and a cheerful kind of narrator and use that scene in Jackie Brown, it completely changed it from like this kind of dramatic scene, literally into something that is making you think it's going to be a comedy
He looks like a baby here! And he's a LOT calmer than I have seen him in more recent interviews.
He looks much younger in the 1994 interview with Charlie Rose, it's on UA-cam somewhere.
Old guys get cranky right health pornkems
@@NickFouladi11 because he was a man now lol
Hes calmer because he respects the interviewer.
"Well you know, it's funny." Haha, great interview, love Quentin :D
What he said about Spike Lee is spot on. Usually the biggest racists are the ones proclaiming someone else is racist!
10:50 that list thing is very true, and thank god that Tarantino cast people who are not on the “list” but they’re damn good
On what list ?
Screw that Tim Burton mess lol
Every time you ask yourself why cinematic arts and writing are dying, come to this video and listen the last 3 minutes. Tarantino will explain crystal clear why and how arts can and will die under the knife of ideology.
This is a real treat. :)
Thank you for posting this. In m;y opinion QT is nothing short of a genius.
Man, his spiel on racism and his use of the "n-word" in his movies at the end of the interview, was put so well and so dead on, it made me want to stand up and cheer almost. He defined the whole racism vs.reverse racism, (or whatever you want to call it), in such a simplistic and honest way; it's no wonder this man is such a creative genius.He truly understands the human condition inside and out. ("Applause, applause... standing O!")
very few people understand that and I'm glad I'm one of 'em
he had a great point until he didnt acknowledge the fact Spike Lee can't use kike in movies as much he uses the n word, it IS a double standard and the truth is even though Tarantino obviously isn't a racist, if he was he'd still be able to do it. That's what Spike Lee was saying basically, that black people don't have the power to control how they're treated by society in movies or otherwise.
@@liban9984 When you say that he can't use the word kike, "as much as" he uses the n-word. What exactly do you mean by that? It can't be literally, because, as far as I'm aware , there is no set limitation on free speech. Well "some", but not in this context; not in movie-making or any other similar art form, anyway. (Maybe I'm just unaware of it, though, so if so, please try and help enlighten me.) So if I take it "figuratively", I still don't really understand, no matter how I try to approach looking at it either... There are black directors, and there are white directors, Spike Lee and Tarantino, the examples chosen here. Both have made popular movies with black actors dealing with the topic of racism in their own, different ways. (The resulting common goal, hopefully, (of course), is exposing the overwhelmingly negative aspects of racial inequality(ies), in hopes of making for a better world, by setting us on a path towards that of an 'actual' state of equality.) "I think" what you're trying to say, is that Lee is working from a different set of rules than Tarantino is, that it's because Lee is black and Tarantino is white, and that the rules vary because it's "society itself" that's dictating our own playbook and it's rules in motion picture making(?)
His point there was, why is Spike Lee getting mad at HIM? If his right as a writer is being violated, he should be mad at the people violating his rights, not at the people who are exercising that right. If anything Tarantino should be source of inspiration to him (and all writers).
We are quite distant now from the time the interview was recorded. Tarantino is sincere and his proximity with black culture made his vision stands out particulary well. But would it have been the same if his was not so close to black culture? Spike Lee paranoid distrust is excusable.. would be excusable if he was blameless? Using the n word is very problématic because the word is toxic. It is self demeaning. If I was a boss in a company in the us I would ask my employees to put à dollar in the swear words box everytime somebody says the word.. Beside Tarantino is not a racist that’s why he can say the word as a writer…
I would frown upon a person calling my mum, my sister, my wife or my daughter a bitch and even more if they were blacks. You can’t feed people the same shit all the Time because they certainly developp a taste for it… And it is not quite fair to say that there is a double standar a reverse racism. That could be somtimes depending the person you have in front of you BUT is not like the N word in the end? Last but not least.. we never use the n word like many blacks would never use the n word. Who would give his money to a rapper that promotes gangsta rap? Who would gladly suffer fools ? Cinema is about sincerity that’s what Tarrantino claim to deliver and in the réal world we still have to look who is making the claim?
Thank you so much for uploading this interview :)
I love you, Tarantino.
Charlie Rose is/was a great interviewer. The 90s really were a golden age for so many reasons that I'm only seeing now.
Tarantino's view on racism in the end of the interview is spot on. He is 100% right. People in 2021 need to listen and learn.
I love Tarantino but I'm just gonna say I'm so glad he wasn't old enough to play Louis and got DeNiro instead haha, precisely because it was such a great part.
He's not a great actor. He's a superb director.
You talk directly to him! Dammit!
Love Tarantino movies.
Absolutely wild to hear them talk about how the beach scene in yet to be released Saving Private Ryan would probably be the best war scene ever. Because even though they thought they knew it would be good, they had no goddamn idea what they were about to witness.
two geniuses communicating heart-to-heart
ummmmm you're saying Charlie is a genius?
@@BookClubDisaster Yeah, not a genius, but a smart and CURIOUS man. It's the latter that made him good. He liked to figure things out.
29:16 nailed it
Tarantino without sideburns is scary
Very interesting guy n so are his interviews
Charlie Rose is the most possibly the most involved interviewer ever
Agreed. Charlie Rose was himself highly intelligent.
5:29 Hahaha, I'm pretty sure "Screw dat mess" was code for "FUCK ALL THAT SHIT" 💅🏽
great director
His memory right better than anyone else
a LOVE the way tarantino speaks!!!!!!!!!
Glad he got to further pursue his acting dreams in Little Nicky.
screw dat mess
When Jackie Brown came out I did not love the movie. I liked it, but felt a bit let down. I recently rewatched it and was surprised at how much I liked it. Not sure what changed.
You grew up
It's one of his best films, yet sadly neglected because it isn't as flashy or the most popular choice when talking about the man in question. But if you give it a fair shot and look beneath the surface, you're gonna find that it's one of his more mature works, while still being Tarantino as fuck!
Maybe you were younger when you saw it for the first time. Maturity brings about different ideas and appreciation for the little things in life.
your taste got worse
That's because it's understated, just like the character Lewis. Good things appreciate.
true genius right there
Oliver Welch
just because you aren't one, doesn't mean there is none
Oliver Welch
what is cowardly about calling something/someone genius? genius is a word that denotes extraordinary creativity and originality (look at its Latin and Greek roots). Is calling someone creative a cowardly thing to do? i don't understand you
Oliver Welch
humility? please explain what this has to do with humility
Oliver Welch
"labeling people as words"? jesus christ, what is your problem. Are you one of those people who is "offended" by compliments? like those cringy "feminists" and "social justice warriors"? you can have your opinion, of course, but i would really like to understand it
Yeah, I love his movies. He is a master of cinematic dialogue.
5:23 L Mars Attacks! slander, it's a classic and arguably my favorite Tim Burton film.
when you gotta switch from Astro Boy tie to Turtleneck to be more adult when ppl say yo first two films are too wild.
Lol😂 true
Very creative, highly intelligent, great imagination, honest, trustworthy, captivating, and someone who definately has his own style.
"Screw dat mess"- Quentin Tarantino
Quentin is completely a geek and I mean that in the best way. A suave geek.
50 ish minutes in....Well done, Q.
I love men in blue with tommy lee smith and will jones.
he was really into Mira (who wouldn’t be). Gotta wonder how all that eventually came to impact his vision. Long break after Jackie B then then a radical departure from Kill Bill onward
Remember guys, the Charlie Rose show is the reason why the final episode of Breaking Bad ever happens (i.e one of the best episodes of anything ever.)
jackie brown is proper underrated. quentin is a genius.
he called it....priving ryan
Jackie Brown was one of the best movies ever made.
hahahaha
No, it wasn't.
@@Johnconno I'm not some great film critic, but I admire the way this film draws out the motivations and capabilities of so many characters in one movie. It's almost weird how unique yet approachable the characters are, how much of the characters are shown so efficiently. Then the way the dialog draws you in. I don't understand how it was done, really like magic to me.
Jackie Brown a very good movie. But it's the 'least good' QT movie. I say least good because when you say worst people think you're saying 'bad.' And I don't count Death Proof because QT never would have made that if not for Robert Rodriguez bugging him.
@@Druffmaul death proof > Django unchained
Original smart and cool
Tarantino Hitchcock Nolan inspire me
Did you enjoy Tenet though?
Hahaa Men in Black directed by T. epic!!
Every moralistic SWJ diot on the planet needs to hear that great end speech.
So true!
Men in Blue, is all that I'm gonna say
Only interview when I liked Charley more than the interviewee
He's an interesting guy. This is a guy who comes across as awkward and uneducated but who happens to have a very high IQ and is one of the best character creators of all time.
Not sure how he comes across as uneducated. He did mispronounce a few words, but definitely he has a high IQ.
tarantino really likes travolta and deniro
he’s cute here 😍
"alright?"
Studied acting and boxing to become one of the best director wow!.... A woman can bring out the best in a man
Spielberg too
He focused here
I always Tyson fury was his brother.
No dount Quentin is the mother fucken man!
California rap lyric law came to mind when he describes about his writing.....
What was he talking about when he said 'all that John Travolta business'
The fact he revived Travolta's career and would do the same for Greer and Forrester.
Mastermind
28:43
Filmmakers who can teach you on directing.
3:50 Charlie goes to sleep.
where do you get off running down mars attacks?!?! haha
spielberg wasn’t lying abt private ryan
He looks like Walton goggins where
Slap some sunglasses on him and he looks like Mac Tonight
Because...
21:46 Mira Sorvino seems like she wasn't a good influence on Tarantino. She kind of sounds like a vampire. Just look at this moment at 30:33 "Not so much anymore"
Beavis without the voice.
26:30
Was he wearing a hair piece?
something's weird with his hair here
Quentin has had the same hairline since the 90’s
I love Tarantino but this is him at his worst, still not really bad
He kinda contradicts himself when he hires Brad Pitt and Leo Dicaprio.
J M most values and virtues change up after 20 years
I mean, both Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have reputations as once-great actors who have faded out of the acting scene and involved themselves in other things, and I think it suited the main themes of OUATIH very well... you're welcome to disagree though
Huh? So because he has a longer list, he's not allowed to hire whoever he wants on that list? Um no, that's silly. Leo and Brad were on his list, he decided to choose them this time.
@@someguy9893 Leo has always chosen challenging work. He never faded.
I love lying about Quentin Tarantino lore 😂
Did Forrest, Forrest Gump cut his hair?
So interesting that Acting is the only thing he’s formally trained in and that’s what he’s worst at…
Jackie Brown, my favorite QT film.
Wow. Brilliant mastermind but a little too humble. He doesn't take credit for what he does. Interesting.
Alright…
Why creative ppl have lisps
Longer time breastfeeding as children.
i'm sorry, but charlie rose has a bad watch on
huh
what actor in 1997 would tell qt he can't act......they want him to cast them in a film......they'll do some light weight butt kissing
Unartlessness in casting
Tarantino talking to black person
Tarantino's mind- queue "black voice"
"Hey Pam, screw dat mess"
Smh Tarantino is cool but he always does that. Too funny
13:18 ADORE LOUIS... 😂😂 he barely did anything, the only thing he did was f a girl and kill her towards the end of the film. 😂
You weren’t paying attention
Exactly, he's a hillarious character, like when he gets the telephone cord tangled up. So funny, and the opposite of what we were used to seeing him do at that time.
