George Lucas saw visual effects as a way to push what storytelling can do visually on screen. The problem is the mentality is "we'll fix it later in post" instead of putting something incredible on screen to blow the audiences minds. I think whatever media works for the creator but there's a fine difference between George's approach and modern cinema.
Exactly! Instead of fixing it in post, make it look amazing on the set first, to the best of your capabilities, and then ENHANCE it in post, not fix.
George Lucas got full of himself
@@Courier_333 No he just has a different vision.
Lucas abandoned that mentality by the time the sequels came about.
Sorry to break it to you, but George himself lost sight of what made filmmaking special. The prequels are toy commercials riddled with an insane over usage of green screen and CGI.
Practical effects are what made movies great. Advancements in CGI has helped the industry immensely but without a doubt it is overused.
Ask yourself, which is a better movie: '28 Days Later' or 'I Am Legend'?
They are practically very similar, and both are great, but one stands out IMO because of CGI, or lack thereof.
Yes, I prefer 28 Days *_because_* it had almost zero CGI.
It's not a surprise that some of the best and most celebrated Marvel movies use Practical effects very well.
Well said. The shining example of this for me is the difference between the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
In Dune they used both practical and CGI and they even used practical effects as a physical marker for the CGI to make it all look more realistic.
has it really helped though? certainly monetarily.
Could you imagine the solid dialogue scripts would be if Tarantino directed a Marvel movie 🤣
It would be 5 hours long.
Tarantino would be better on DC since they are not afraid of hard R movies.
Marvel wouldn't let him do that, that's what he said in an interview once, he said they wouldn't let him make the movie he would want to make
They should get him to write and direct an episode for The Boys. They wouldn’t limit his creativity.
They would be coherent and worth watching
A Tarantino Punisher film would be epic
That would be amazing
Good point
Him and Robert Rodriguez doing it. Epic
No
@@ericfelds6291 yes
My issue with most modern superhero movies is how they’re made and the fact that most of them all feel kinda the same. They’re mostly focused on action/spectacle and teasing future movies and big events rather than crafting unique stories. Plus most of them lack artistic vision from the director cuz the studios are the ones making the decisions
I just disagree with that. Some are more spectacle but there are also a lot which have great character drama's at their heart. Adding spectacle doesn't necessarily take away from everything else.
Thats just wrong
@@Flingftw Well, that's just my opinion.
You should check out The Batman.. It's a good exception to the norm.
I would mostly agree to that. The problem ia that the studio's main concern is to put out as many of them as possible, so instead of directors wanting to tell a story and getting a studio to finance it, it's studios searching for directors to attach to whaver they want to do, which is totally killing any sort of creative freedom, especially with the rate at which they want to release the movies
You gotta love Quentin if for no other reason than that he sticks to his guns and doesn't pander to people. Not only that but he tries to go about it in the nicest most reasonable way possible. Very admirable quality for anyone to possess.
I'm starting to side with Scorsese, the more I think about it.
He wasn't wrong!
100%
It’s not a hard decision to make
Dark knight series I would consider an exception. At the least The Dark Knight movie itself. That is not a superhero movie, that is a crime film
@@sukottoshinobe7360 yea
I’d watch a Tarantino superhero movie with all practical effects
Perhaps he should make the Blade movie.
Hellboy....
I'll watch anything he'll makes. 🤣
Give me a Tarantino directed Ghost Rider. Just full on violence
I think that he would make an all time Ninja Turtles movie
This is why I love Quentin.. His love of the genuine art of making movies....Some directors love filmmaking and don't want to take any shortcuts if possible....
Greatness of Scorsese. Gave a little statement in 2019, almost 4 years later people still taking about it.
The statement wasn't little...
If only they had talked about the movie he was actually promoting at the time.
I honestly can't remember which movie it was.
@@manikantasrao7868 Marvel’s Endgame I think
It was short not little
@@manikantasrao7868 popularity ≠ substance
The Carpenter "The Thing" is masterclass in practical effects. And that one still holds up today. My nephew crapped his breeches when I screened it for him. Marvel may be fun, but those movies have time stamps that expire.
There is so much saturation that every movie becomes forgettable true.
@@holden6104 the last one of the avengers films I remember was civil war. It became a bland mess of cgi from then for me. I only really got into them late in the game anyway.
People were shocked I hadn't seen the avengers in about 2014.
No they don't
@@salarzx62090they already did
And nothing really even comes close really. Ahead of its time doesn’t do it justice
It's so strange because back in 2009 when Tarantino was naming his 17 favorite films since 1992 and he enthusiastically praised Unbreakable, it made me go back and rewatch it and for the past 12 years, it's been my favorite film of all time.
That wasn't really a standard super hero movie though.
@@collinsmcrae well said👍
Unbreakable isn't marvel or DC. That's really what they mean when they say "super hero movies"
@@collinsmcrae It’s best described as “what if Superman didn’t know he was Superman”
Unbreakable is not a super hero movie.
One of Tarantino's favorite movies he said in an interview was Unbreakable which was a superhero movie. You can definitely make superhero movies that are incredibly captivating just most don't try to
I love Quentin, every interview he does it is just a joy to listen to !
he is Taratinoooob. he wants shoot on film when we have digitel era! what a weird!!!
It’s hilarious how every esteemed and noteworthy living director openly despises Marvel movies. My favorite quote is from Francis Ford Coppola when he was asked if he agreed with Scorsese’s take that marvel movies weren’t cinema, he said ‘No, not only are they not cinema, they are despicable.’
I think it's not just the movies, but the importance studios place on box office, and the frequency that they get released.
@@Ruylopez778 it’s all of the above
Actually just Coppola despise them, neither Scorsese of Tarantino do so
It's hilarious how everything you just said is wrong
I get the most insane looks when people ask me if I went to see the new superhero movie and I tell them no and explain I just don’t find them entertaining today
I was enjoying the run of Marvel movies that ended with Endgame. They had soul and fun but since then it’s become messy, badly written and directed. They had their run and it is what it is. But for the test of time you can’t beat a Scorsese or Tarantino movie.
I agree, Marvel movies lost theirsoul after Endgame.
I agree. But I liked the last Spiderman, and Dr Strange movie's.
I agree 100%. I definitely feel the superhero fatigue at this point.
I started to feel MCU become weirder after Ragnarok
I stopped giving a shit after age of ultron
There hasn’t been a superhero movie that you can call a “real movie” since Dark Knight.
That was a studio letting an auteur filmmaker use one of their most valuable properties to tell his story his way. It is memorable from front to back, and you can show it to a kid or a senior citizen and they can enjoy it on its own merits.
Logan or The Batman, maybe?
I guess you haven't seen Daredevil. It's a TV show, but it still counts.
Good joke 🤣
@@ExtraQuestionableContentno it doesn’t
@@ExtraQuestionableContent not movie.
Tarantino always makes a good point. I totally get where he's coming from and I'm a fan of comic book movies.
so tarantino isn't talking about superhero movies per se; he's talking about franchise property movies pushing newer stories out of the market.
Not newer. Smaller
I think Tarantino would make a great Batman movie.
Specifically a rated R one.
No holding back, full on dark and twisted.
I don't think he will get Batman
I disagree
He hates Batman lol
He was supposed to make a Star Trek movie, but it fell through
He will be better suited for The Punisher
Practical effects is where it’s at.
TLOTR trilogy vs Hobbit springs to mind.
Quentin is a Marvel comics fan himself. I'd love to see him make use of obscure Marvel characters into his own movie interpretation.
The thing that all his films have in common is that they are HIS. It may seem obvious, but there are very few film makers that have only made their own films. Most have to go mercenary, to then later make what they really want. He's always made what he wants. So, on that note, if the made more of his own films great, but a QT Marvel film wouldn't be his. It would just a flavor, but not the real deal.
Well, Jackie brown was a book called rum punch.
@@mantistoboggan5171and that's one of his best...
He's done multiple remakes.
Tarantino directing a Blade movie would be the best thing ever
Watching this absolute genius transform as he finds love and adjusts to fatherhood is a beautiful thing for an empath to witnesses. I thought i was impossible to admire him more. I was wrong.
I think he didn't want to say he agreed with Scorsese but that's really what he thought.
Lol.. especially Marvel they all look same
He sees both sides of the conversation. QT can't 100 agree with Scorcese because his catalogue is built on embracing genre troupes.
I love listening to Tarantino talking about movies. What a legend.
He kinda did make a superhero movie, two of them, actually, starring Uma Thurman.
That's a good point.
All of his films has hero's and villains. No special powers tho
When we talk about “superhero movies” it’s not about whether it has a character with superhuman powers in it. Its a label for a very specific genre that puts spectacle, applause moments and comic references over human emotion. That’s what Scorsese was talking about.
@@freem8son86 None of them are required to do that. You can do both - have comic references and deep emotions.
Actually 3. Django unchained is a super hero movie too.
I think The Boys really did the genre Justice. The show is Batshit insane and I love it.
Homelander is one of the best written and acted characters in recent history.
its actually counter genre
It’s a deconstruction of the superhero genre
The whole point of the show is " what if superheroes were edgy"
I wonder what he thinks about The Lord of the Rings trilogy. They're personally my favourite movies of all time.
“A poor mans cinema”
They're primarily a movie adaption of the books though.
Is the full interview available to access anywhere? I’m in the UK. Thanks
I am a millennial and I am with Scorsese... Marvel "Movies" are just TV Episodes of a big 10 episode Season shown on a big screen
So what? They are that and they’re also entertaining, I enjoy them.
Yep. And that doesn't remotely invalidate them.
Not really it is just because they share the same universe, that brought them huge success.
people only being negative because they a re popular, if they were not there would be no fuss.
but he just said they are not cinema, if you are having a cinematic experience watching them, and it gets you to the cinema, then it is cinema through and through. The fact one is not into them doesnt mean that they are not cinema.
That's what Marvel movies are and why they don't compare to the DCEU as cinema.
I totally agree. I haven’t seen the last couple of Avengers or other Marvel movies. They all feel very formulaic and similar to me. I think people crave original shows.
Genre fiction is all formulaic, genius.
So Tarantino is almost 100% in favour of REAL physical effects, where practical, instead of a 2 hour green screen? YES.. this is very good to hear.
Whatever you was first in line for THE PHANTOM MENACE
What, that he's a luddite?
I could only hope that Tarantino puts Steve Buscemi in his final film.
Green screen movie where the actor has to figure out how to make money without having a mental breakdown in an all green room in a sexy superhero outfit
Sadly, greenscreen broke Sir Ian McKellen
I thought Django Unchained was a superhero movie. Especially when Django confronts the Brittle Brothers and he had that blue suit on. It reminded me of Superman..That was so great.
It was SO great. One of my favourite movies ever.
You thought wrong. Super Heroes didn't invent heroes of myth with seemingly extraordinary abilities. Super Heroes are a very specific thing. They are costumed vigilantes.
@@collinsmcrae Yes, we'll all bow to your categories even if it makes discussion of the general issue more difficult. /s
@@schen7913 It's not that difficult. Django is not a super hero movie whatsoever, and Tarantino wasn't at all inspired by super Heroes when he made it. Epic revenge stories predate super Heroes.
@@collinsmcrae Moses was a superhero..I didnt think wrong at all.
Tarantino could direct a damn good version of Constantine or Punisher.
Or deathstroke
Or Blade
Big fan of Wolf of Wall Street, big fan of every single Tarantino film & a big big fan of Marvel.
Yes you can be a fan for all 3. Why don’t we stop putting each other down & let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.
This
It didn't seem to me that he was putting anything down other than saying it wasn't his preference.
It’s not so much about artistic tastes and elitism so much it is about the way that superheroes have monopolized movie making and movie culture. There is almost no diversity in films. Films that are more auteur driven and art house get small runs or no run at all (if it’s from another country)
Agreed
@@guyincognito8440 Quality is objective. Not saying you're wrong though.
Tarantino is the best lol.
I would love to see Tarantino do a rated R original or obscure character superhero film. Kurt Russell as a grizzled former superhero etc
Practical capture it on stage 100% thumbs up
Tarantino knows a lot more about movies than most people so I'd trust his opinion
Than.
I remember the bit he did about the Fantastic Four in Reservoir Dogs, I would love to see him do his own thing with them.
In Reservoir Dogs Mr Orange compares Joe Cabot to The Thing and has a Silver Surfer poster in his bedroom
He already does his own thing. Why would he want to play with someone elses toys?
He's too scientifically illiterate.
That was the most diplomatic way to say “I think superhero movies are for children”
A Tarantino Deadpool movie would be awesome lol
it doesn't matter how you do it, it only matter what's in the final product. What matters also is that you do not realise it's a special effect because of how realistic it. Special effects are means to and end, they are not the show.
Good cinema is still alive - just look at The Banshees of Inisherin. Fantastic movie
Quentin has such a wise and nuanced take on this.
Always remembered the silver surfer poster prominently on display in reservoir dogs.
The Dark Knight Trilogy to me is the exception to the “superhero movies are not cinema” rule. That world that Nolan built perfectly combined gritty realism with comic book theatricality. He found a balance. There’s nothing theme-parkish about his Gotham. His trilogy, The Dark Knight especially, are more crime movies than they are comic book movies. And other than Nolan’s trilogy, there have only been a few comic book movies to break that mold: Joker, Watchmen, and Matt Reeve’s Batman all handled delving into the psychological and ideological aspects of their characters well.
I don't think it's a hard line to call something cinematic or not, nor should it ever be a measure of quality.
I do think there's something to be said about which movies actually seem to be made by a director instead of a studio. Most of the MCU just feels incredibly homogenised and the film-making is just... capturing footage of what is happening, not so much actual shot choices.
Tony Gilroy spent a lot of money creating ANDOR on Disney Plus. Most of it is drama and not GC. Very unlike Star Wars, but critics and viewers loved it.
I think you can make a superhero movie cinema. It’s just that the big studios won’t take many risks. So for me it isn’t superhero movie vs. not superhero movie but big studio movie vs. creative/personal movie.
Cinema requires a certain presence...a sense of pure being. It also shouldn't be informational because then it just turns into visualized literature. Essentially, the opposite of that is baked into the superhero genre.
Nolan’s Batman trilogy is a superhero movie cinema same thing with The Joker
Would you please help me to understand the difference between “inheritance” and “heritage?” And in which situations we use each of them?
Thanks, Noura.
Excellent points.
I love most of the Marvel films, but I’m also aware that nothing beats practical effects. 😂👏🏼
The combination of both with get better results than either/or
Except extremely good cgi which marvel doesnt have either, atleast not recently
@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 GOTG3 has some of the best CGI ever.
It was in the works for a Tarantino Star Trek movie, I’m a huge Tarantino and Star Trek fan, but it fell through for some reason, I’m so disappointed, I KNOW it would be such an epic movie.
I would love to see his take on Star Wars. There is so much lore he could do basically whatever he wanted
well, he is considering to make a Star Trek movie. Not the same, but kind of. I wish he does that. Would be weird but probably awesome.
Not working with Disney he couldn't do whatever he wanted
Both types of movies are good. I do enjoy good stories and whoever can translate that to a good watch I will watch it. Tarantino's movies are awesome and have great stories, action, what more would you want?
Yep! I don’t understand this either or mentality. There’s nothing wrong with admiring different types of movies…imo
@@erikaburns3551 There's being different, and then there's just poor nonsensical writing.
Tarantino once said ‘Unbreakable’ was his favorite super hero movie. I totally agree with him. The Watchmen (2019) series was also AMAZING.
I agree with you except the Watchmen part personally I think it was a convoluted mess .
Imagine Quentin directing a deadpool movie ... would love to see that
Let Tarintino do a practical effect superhero movie PLEASE. Would've loved to have him for Blade. Cant do Ghost Rider without special effects but I would love to see that.
0:30 THANK YOU!!! That’s exactly what I think!!!
His first answer made me laugh so hard
You can have any kind of movie, that’s the beauty of cinema.
Best way to implement CGi is to have a solid blend of CG and practical.
And give VFX artists time to finish the CGI before releasing the movie
@@robertmarginean164 of course
I think he should direct and act in a superhero movie
The real issue is that terantino creates a story while marvel and dc movies are more about the effects and less about the deep meaning and quality of the narrative , of the storytelling
Agree.
This is a generalisation. Especially regarding DC. What effects did Joker or The Batman have? Both were shot using actual sets or on location, both focused on story.
Cinema isn't primarily about storytelling though. That's just illustrated literature. Cinema is about conveying undefinable feelings, which superhero films don't do.
@@Gino565 Those 2 movies are not a part of DCEU.
I'd say DC are far less guilty of this. The batman and Joker barely use CGI and have deeper meanings with a large focus on the story at hand
K& B! Thee best practical effects team ever. Rob Boetien & Rick Baker Tom Savini.. Special effect GODS.
Thank you❤🌹🙏
They’re cartoons with actors in them which is fine by me.
Most cartoons have actors in them. The only exception is written/drawn only cartoons.
@@MrBrock314 Unless you count motion capture by the actor.
Full interview?
Practical effects are the best!
I have no interest in the super hero movies.
Well we’re all thankful to learn where Tarantino and YOU stand
Joker is a DC movie that was very powerful in its own way. But yes 20 marvel movies in 2 years is a lot it’s hard to watch everything
Such an amazing film.
And that is very much inspired by Scorsese's King of Comedy
@@ponche5609 And Taxi Driver
@@ponche5609 I have not seen the king of comedy to compare but most of the story in joker was from a handful of comic books.
@@yaydog2702 watch king of comedy and then come back. The strength of that movie comes from adapting Scorsese coated in a joker shell
I would love to see a Tarantino Punisher movie.
wow, so much content in this tiny segment
Well, Tarantino is still very respectful about it here.
Nowadays the biggest movies do most of the job post shooting the movie. The rewrite and reshoot. It is so messy, and you can tell.
To me, a superhero movie is the total opposite of a Terantino movie, I couldn't even imagine him doing one.
well said
Everyday I agree with Scorsese more and more
Tarantino said this perfectly.
Very diplomatic.
Where the full interview?
Im sure other people have said it, but I also dont think he would jive with the amount of control, oversight, rewriting, editing (the kind of editing where you totally change the movie) and pandoring that most disney/marvel or dc movies do nowadays. Even if he agreed to direct it, it would likely be chopped up and frankensteined into something barely recognizable as Tarantino.
I think 'The Boys' genre would be a great platform for Tarantino to make a superhero movie 🤣
The rear projection effect that Quentin revived in Pulp Fiction is a great device that should be used more often….
It has come back. A digital version. Used in The Mandalorian and The Batman for recent examples.
They are cinema but they are not CINEMA
If Tarantino were to make a superhero movie it would be The Boys!
This is the reason why Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy are great
Capture it on film! Great mantra. Oldschool is best I believe too. Its way more interesting and sparks a lot more ingenuity. Whatever it takes! Apone! Absolute BadAsses! Pack em in. Get in there!
If he did make a superhero movie, it would be rated R for sure
Tarantino is cinema.
I said what I said.
Wow. Such a bold take. Mine is pulp fiction is a good movie
He’s the best at making movies. Hands down
Not the best. Great....but not the best.
Frank Millers Batman by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino
My favorite movie maker talking about my other favorite movie maker. 10/10
Why is QT going to teenage parties?
cause he is "qutie"
lmao was wondering if anyone else asked that question
