    I'm trying to write my first short film and I'm taking a lot of inspiration from Tarantino and his very smart dialogue scenes. This was a huge help in realizing where my characters are and what kind of mood they are in- informal vs. formal. Very interesting and well put-together

    When Bill says "that's the costume Superman wears, to blend in with us" his elbow points to the Curl on the right. The Curl resembles the lock of hair Curling onto Superman's face. The Curl is not to be underestimated. Inspiring video.

  • @Gabranth121012
    @Gabranth121012 9 років тому +9

    Kind of off the topic here but as we are talking about Tarantino I would like to say something of that little scene at 8:50 with Hans Landa that is one of the greatest actors on this Tarantino's universe and one of my personal favorite characters in his movies.
    At that scene were he is talking with Aldo and Diane Kruger's character he already know that she is a traitress and he knows that the three ''italians'' are plotting with her. When he is constantly asking the name of the ''italians'' he actually is just testing how good they are with the language of each of them. With Aldo he asks several times and realize that he speaks Italian as well as Donny, but with Omar he only question twice, because he notes that Omar knows shit about Italian.
    It's so subtle and makes such a good comic scene.

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_

    @faherty87 7 років тому +2

    Good man, that was great. I read the script of pulp fiction yesterday and noted the "let's get into character" line especially since there talk of Honey Bunnie and Pumpkin taking on there stick up personas in the set directions. I was even thinking of maybe doing a video essay about it but there's no need now :)

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  7 років тому +1

      Awesome, Im glad someone else noticed this too! Once I got that idea from his films, then I started to see it everywhere in his work, seems like quiet a common motif of his.

    • @faherty87
      @faherty87 7 років тому

      Interesting too as it seems he got into to his worlds with his experiences as an actor, helps you see the nuts and bolts a bit

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  7 років тому

      Yeah it definitely feels like he drew from his experience as an actor! Defo!

    • @jamessullivan5090
      @jamessullivan5090 9 років тому +1

      Katryon Kelly I agree- I think it would have sent him in a new direction if he kept along the road he started with Jackie Brown , but unfortunately people wanted another Pulp Fiction so QT chose instead to go with what grossed better.

  • @SeaTac411
    @SeaTac411 9 років тому +28

    Very nicely done Darren. I really liked your observation of the Reservoir Dogs breakfast scene and how it foreshadowed to the scenes in the garage. Also do you think it was a coincidence that Mr. Pink was the only one who didn't want to tip the waitress and was the only one who survived at the end. Maybe showing Pink not tipping showed the audience that he was suspect of everyone and everything around him and he was the first guy to realize that someone was a rat.

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  9 років тому +10

      Sean McDougall Yeah love that point about Pink, its also funny how pink was the cheapest at the lunch but SPOILERS, but he was the only one to get away with the money.

    • @jonwlls
      @jonwlls 8 років тому +1

      Aren't there police outside the warehouse at the end? I always thought that Mr. Pink was either shot dead or arrested by them.

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  8 років тому +1

      Im not sure, i always assumed he got away, its kinda open at the end for his character, i guess it depends if you think that police are already there or arriving on scene in the last moments!

    • @jonwlls
      @jonwlls 8 років тому

      I just watched the end scene again and you can hear the police (after Mr. pink leaves the warehouse) saying stuff like "get down on the ground" in the background.
      Also love your channel, I only discovered it today which makes me sad because it's great.

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  8 років тому

      Oh yeah, i kinda remember that, so he must get caught then and the rest are left to battle it out.
      Thanks man, just uploaded a video compilation of some of my favourite music in film and now trying to finish a video about Finding Nemo that I'm really excited to share!

  • @shill1444
    @shill1444 6 років тому

    Amazing video! The lead up and draw out of anticipation until the action or even non-action is a classic move. It works in all and any genre. I really like how you put a spotlight on that Jackie Brown scene with the split screen. That Depalma-esque scene worked well in Kill Bill too but this one was better. Talk about suspense!

  • @oscaruzcategui8495
    @oscaruzcategui8495 9 років тому

    My personal favorite example of this informal vs dramatic character theme is Lt. Hicox in Inglourious Basterds. I believe that scene in La Louisane shows the greatest contrast.

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  9 років тому

      Oscar Uzcategui Yess!! thats such an awesome scene, i like the Chris Walken scene in True Romance, but you know he's bad from the start, the reversal in Basterds is so great!

    you say at 0:02 that this is a non-profit video... so, you turned off monetization, right?

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  6 років тому

      When YT identifies that you are using copyright material then it runs adds on your videos whether you want them of not. If I could take the cash and change this first title card I would.

    • @1nytimes
      @1nytimes 6 років тому +1

      haha, cool. I'm still getting a handle on YT's changing controls over ads/revenue vs. when people don't turn off monetization in the Video Manager, etc. Thanks.

    • @_MUSTSEEFILMS_
      @_MUSTSEEFILMS_  6 років тому

      Yeah its really tricky, most of the time I leave the monetisation on but if a video gets flagged by the system then you can't earn any cash on it. Not like its a lot anyway, but thats the general jist.

    Does it make more sense to think of dramatic dialogue as ANY time characters interact with each other? Even in "low stakes" situations, I imagine all people put on masks, and the only time we're truly "informal" is when we're by ourselves.

    Nice argument you make here, but come on man this video is such a pain to listen to! The volume goes up and down all along and you're forced to balance it by always changing the volume of your device. There's software to do it before releasing the video. Just my advice.

    Controversial Opinion I have - Tarrantino dialogue is unrealistic and preachy. Characters are the same.
    That Kill Bill analysis about Superman, for instance, is sheer nonsense for anyone who has read the DC Comics of Superman. He grew up here. He IS Clark Kent.
