This channel is GOLDEN!!!
Thank you guys for your job!
AMAZING interview!!
27:16 !!!! this is exactly why I've been so frustrated with movies lately!
I think u should have a high concept setup in a story structure form, which I think you get more opportunities and advantages based like consistent career and can easily be focus on the certain genre to be involve in.
Great talk. I hung on every word. Good advice on breaking in.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree about Hateful 8, it was definitely long winded and the reveal could have been handled a lot better. I did however like it more the second time. I really dug the pacing in Django.
Can you do screenplay videos on specific genres
I made the mistake of not watching The Hateful Eight until about a month ago. It's an incredible flick with expertly crafted tension and some of his best characters yet. Check it out Daniel Calvisi, it's not another movie like Inglorious Basterds; it's much better.
Love u guys!!! I can at least dream about filmmaking, watching ur content... Filmmaking is too far away for me.
The entire visual language that is in cinema was taken directly from painting. That’s why they are called moving pictures. It’s very common for a visual artist typically an illustrator, or a cartoonist to do a Tarantino is doing cinematic Lee with film references. The same thing can be said for music and songwriting. And Tarantino will never run out of old movies to steal from/rip off/sample. That’s just the way art is made now. In another 15 years no human beings will be involved.
Finally, people who talk sense about Tarantino. I wish someone could edit him.
I understand where this is coming from but I feel like most scripts are over-edited so I don't agree with it. I'm almost just done with films, they're starting to feel uniform. Tarrantino should probably be edited in some places but I am sure that in other places you'd be losing something important. It's one of the reasons I still want to see his work. I know it won't be in the same mold as other movies.
There needs to be a no-discussing-tarantino rule in script writing interviews.
Video begins at 5:24
I sincerely loved this interview. Especially the Tarantino tangent. One thing I would say as a bit of a Tarantino student, he was greatly influenced by crime novels and he always wanted to create "the poetry between the lines." QT isn't deep when making movies, like Dan wants him to be. Perhaps we will see more of QT's thoughts on the page when he goes to writing novels and plays instead of movies.
30 page Act 1? Doesn't it depend on length of overall screenplay? Should it not be a percentage? So 30 pages is 30% of 100 pages. But if the script is 112 pages then 34 page Act 1 is on target. Same for 90 page script, 27 page Act 1.
sooooooooooooooooo.... can i get my hands on the La La Land story map please?
Bishop Brown . Oh FFS! They explain how to get it as they talk about it. This is why I could never be a lecturer or show host... people don't listen and raise their hands to ask for information that was *just said* or they misconstrue what was said like the guy complaining that Tarantino speaks out against injustice though that complaint is irrelevant to the context of the show dialog. Unclog your ears and brains!
I'd like the book but it's so expensive in comparison to other screenwriting books.
Not Wza, its Rza from Wu-Tang.
contests are great, especially when they let the sponsors be the judges, nothing like your four years of hard work being judged by the Popeyes manager
I've listened to alot of Tarantino interviews, he's spoken out on plenty of social injustice. I'm not sure what this guys talking about.
Tony Gaud . He's talking about it within the confines of the movie. I don't know what podcast your brain is in, but this one is about movies.
C Ch my brain just went to, "checkout the condescending ass confused that his anonymous response has value to the original comment. Go away." Yeah. That.
@@TonyGaud Well said.
I can't take anyone seriously who holds Christopher Nolan in this high of a regard..
After 14 minutes, you still haven't said anything about a story map. What a waste of time!
"Mhm, okay" we got plenty of that shit
The anti tarantino guy is so painfully arrogant... its fine not to like Tarantino's films, but this guy seems VERY deadset on making his own philosophy of filmmaking the only correct approach. Not every piece of media has to be a deep examination of the human condition. Tarantino is anything but shallow, the ammount of passion and hard work in every project is undeniable.
Christopher Nolan is great with plot, but his dialogue sucks rotten eggs. His overuse of exposition and very little if any subtextual dialogue makes him a horrible study for screenwriters who have no auto-in to the industry. If you write dialogue like Nolan, there is a good chance your screenplay will end up in the trash. Plot like Nolan, but write dialogue like Tarantino.
