I agree! I think he's less pretentious that people think and just REALLY passionate. The films he references, the way he talks about character, and the way he lights up when someone gives him the opportunity to actually talk about film is proof of that. Thanks for watching!
@@Sarcasmiccc The movie was a love letter to Sharon Tate and old Hollywood, not a backdrop for a joke. The movie was an ernest wish. Took me a while to realize that, but that's what it was. And how nice that we see Tarantino's capable of expressing something sweet like that, even if his way of saying it involves his signature ultraviolence.
Interesting I read one of these on Vince Gillian who wrote Breaking Bad whose process seems to be the exact opposite. He worries about exposition and fills in dialogue later. I guess that proves you do whatever works for you as a writer.
They do have something in common. Both seem to be very serious and strict about letting characters dictate and command where they go, no matter what they might have in mind.
It's the same with any art form. I illustrate in my spare time and will sometimes talk to my friends about our individual process and they're often quite different. Some of us love to thumbnail and perfect the idea of an image before starting. Others like to play with penciling and erasing till we naturally find what we want. Some get strict with their penciling and go into great detail before laying anything permanent while others prefer to use their penciling as a rough guideline rather than a strict path to follow.
that’s really the secret to being an artist in general that no one tells you. people look at these great auteurs and think “if only I knew how they do it…” but the best artistic process is: the one that gets good results. period. everyone will inevitably have a different way of getting there, the trick is finding what works for you
didn't ever think I wanted to be a writer or a director until I was 17. My friend brought over his Tarantino box set I think I watched the whole thing in two days now hopefully theres a path im headed down
the exact same for me! I'm almost 18 now, and it was only this past year that I realized I wanted to taking writing/directing seriously. Now I'm trying to start writing but I have no clue where to begin.
My realization was when I was fourteen, I had just watched Pulp Fiction for the first time. Now I’m 100% certain that this is what I want to strive toward in my life. Best of luck to you, man!
I'm so over watching video essays from viewers that parade their opinions around as some objective truth. Even with the presentation of it being subjective, I think watching those videos steers that movie's audience too far into the direction of how the video maker sees it. Making videos entirely composed of actual insight from the creators instead was an excellent move. Great work, I'm really excited to watch more of your videos.
Thank you Oliver! I appreciate your kind words. While I enjoy video essays, I definitely felt like this kinds of content was missing from youtube. It's so valuable to hear from the writers themselves and there's nothing that will replace that. Thanks again for leaving the comment!
Although, I'd love to agree on this one, since it sounds so nice, but people are different, writers are different. Some of the greatest works of writing had the author's ending already in mind. It works for Tarantino, but not for every writer.
Well in my opinion, the “journey” was boring and filled with a ton of loose ends. I truly believe that if some no name director had directed this without the star studded cast, no one would even know the movie. That being said, I love Tarantino, I love Brad Pitt, I love Margot Robbie and Margaret Qualley, the rest was just not my favorite of his work.
pyropulse I think you’re just trying to side with Tarantino here because he’s Tarantino. There’s nothing wrong with the writer wanting to make the audience feel a certain way, and it doesn’t have to “obliterate their story” in the process. Edit: Adding to this, writing with results in mind can be extremely helpful, especially for beginning writers. Having some theme or goal to work toward in your writing makes the process of writing (and typically reading/watching it) much richer. If you write with none of that in mind, your story can spiral and spiral until it just becomes meaningless escapism (or perhaps not even that.) I’d argue that the best stories were written with a greater purpose, whether that be to entertain, to enlighten, etc. Just like the other guy said, not writing with results in mind has worked fine so far for Tarantino, but that doesn’t mean you should gate-keep other writers just because they do the opposite.
"I want to make movies that people with watch them and that will make them want to watch movies" That was a perfect comment for Inglourious Basterds because that was the movie that made me want to become a serious filmmaker and stop putting it off
@callmecatalyst Umm, Tarantino said he likes fight club, he placed it on top 20 films from 1992 to 2007 list... I get what you re saying about jokes and all that, but i dont think hes making fun of the fight club or saying its stupid.. I think hes just making some sarcastic jokes or putting easter eggs and interesting references...
I am always preaching about this scene to my friends, Michael Fassbender, with his fluent German just knocks his character portrayal of British double agent out of the park, add in that despicable German officer, the imposing confines of a basement bar and that sweet, sweet Tarantino dialogue you've got a scene with more tension than 5 decades of therapy could resolve. Delicious. One of my very top scene's of his, without a doubt. The Candyland dinner table in Django is also up there, as well as the diner robbery in pulp fiction. Very difficult to choose.
"I've always undercut the climax. Hopefully I didn't undercut your enjoyment, I gave you a lot of fun and you enjoyed it but it was not the big climax you were expecting." - Quentin Tarantino
Definitely, need to cover Heist movies, and I recommend a behind the curtain on the OCEAN's 11 (2001). Steven Soderberg Directing and Ted Griffin writing came together to create something really special. without Ted Griffin, you get Oceans 12 and the difference in quality shows, yet still, Soderberg makes it so visually compelling. I would love to get a look a the process behind such a complex and fun film. So much exposition yet it's so charming and funny you never notice the clues until that twist double vault ending. Very few films successfully pull the rug out from underneath you in such a satisfying way.
Ooh I'd love that. Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought about that one yet. You also just gave me the idea to do a "How to Write a Heist" video... that could be really good. Hmmmmm.
I don't think it was so much as "without Ted Griffin" as being a supposed answer as to why Oceans 12 is generally regarded as inferior. I think WB wanted to move too quickly for a sequel, they took an older script out of their vault that was about two competing thieves and rewrote it to shoehorn the entire Oceans team into one side of that battle, and I don't think Griffin himself could've necessarily still made cinematic gold out of that. With the first, while yes it was technically a remake, they were taking only the thinnest bare bones of the concept, collect an all star team of thieves to rob a Vegas casino. I mean have you ever even tried to watch the original Rat Pack film? It is AWFUL, nearly unwatchable. They had fun as they were making it, but didn't give a shit about the movie itself. So the heist in the remake is pretty much its own whole invention, and that even goes past the point of where obviously there'd be updates in the technology used. And in having Oceans 13 being able to have a worthy finish to the trilogy, the studio learned their mistake from 12. They commissioned Brian Koppelman and David Levien to write a script specifically for the idea.
Yes! Not only do I want you to learn specific principles, but also that everyone has their process. There is some overlap, but there are some differences as well. Thanks for watching!
It's a big pleasure to listen to someone like Tarantino talks about cinema, for him the movies are his own life, and Inglourious basterds isn't the exception. What I liked most about that movie was undoubtedly Christoph Waltz, and although he was the supporting actor, he became a movie star. So thank you Quentin for casting him to play Landa's role.
i thought the basement scene in inglourious basterds was one of the greatest things i'd ever watched when i first saw it. like you're REALLY gonna keep dragging this thing out?? what in the everloving HELL, tarantino! but it worked flawlessly
this is one of my favorite movies, probably the one that made high-school me want to get back into writing and movie-making. i remember watching it in the tenth grade and being completely enthralled. everything is so perfect to me, I love the colors and the cinematography and writing. the cast, i really can’t imagine the film without any one of them. i got so happy when in this video i heard him say he writes it like a novel first without thinking too much about it (paraphrasing here); I have trouble structuring a screenplay, I’m a very visual thinker and need to describe everything, and I have so many ideas, I kind of do the same thing. But I’ve never tried actually writing it like a book first, maybe I’ll start doing that.
I like all his films. It says something about him that not one of his films are just ok or bad, still a great film but Jackie brown is probably my least favourite. I know he never directed it but true romance is exceptional!
posted below but wanted to make sure you all at BtC saw it. Mike, Mike, and Oscar are in the middle of doing a whole Tarantino rewatch and actually just released their own review of IB yesterday too.

Pulp might be my favorite movie of his, but Inglorious by far has the best dialogue in all of his movies. That basement scene and chapter 1 were so well written.
The footage you compiled from Mr Tarantino really really is motivating and inspiring, especially the ending footage in your video. Keep Up The Good Work.
@@finalgirl16 yep. He writes all his stuff and expects his actors to say it word for word, I heard Quentin say in an interview once. But I'm thinking, like you, Waltz helped pitch in on that phrase.
Some possibilities: any Coen Bros. comedies Scott Pilgrim Broad City Bottle Rocket or Rushmore or Royal Tenenbaums Adventure Time Rick & Morty any David Lynch Louie Awesome channel! : )
Coens for sure, but I'd also be keen for True Detective Season 1, Mandy, or The X Files. Honestly, whatever comes next is going to be good, these videos have so much care and attention put into them without any of the faff about the youtubers career and opinions, making them timeless, as he'll never grow out of what he creates.
Sir, I have been shouting my love of this channel in my friends faces for a couple months now. It is absolutely top 5 channels for me. Thank you for quality content. I'll be watching til the sun burns out.
Dude, Kyle, I really appreciate the support. You've been here since day one. You're awesome. It's people like you I'll have to thank once I hit a milestone. Actually, I'll try to think of something.... thanks again!
Holy fucking shit. Today is my birthday, and to have discovered this on the suggestions feed today on youtube, during my short break from partying, is truely a blessing. Thank you Tarantino for all your lovely films, I always come back to them!!
He answered my major question right off the bat. The fire in the film always bugged me, as it seemed kind of forced into the narrative. But it doesn't serve the plot so much as the subtext. The tumbler has turned, and the door is now unlocked...
One of the things he said that people who write a lot can relate to is...when a character you’re writing says something you didn’t know. That does happen! You’ll be writing a dialogue between characters in a scene...and you know roughly what’s going on, but suddenly your character will surprise even YOU...by saying something unexpected...and then you have to work them around or out of it. It’s a great feeling when your characters take on a life of their own...even if you’re not a professional writer. It’s still a satisfying thing to happen.
I used to be very confused about this. I thought it was just writer BS. I have learned however that when you're writing, you should not hold so tightly to your outline and explore things if they happen. You can always rewrite later. I think it's true that often times really great things can come from your subconscious in this way. Thanks for watching!
Behind the Curtain - My pleasure! I’ve had times where characters veered off into dialogue that I just let flow and then I was boxed in 😂 but mostly it works out well. You discover things, like you said...and I think you are right...writers are often perplexed by this notion until it happens. And when it does, it’s unmistakable. You suddenly get it. I can see why some writers have grieved over their own characters dying. And you certainly do not need to be a professional writer to experience this. 👍🏼 Great videos.
When I knew Tarantino never studied in Film School and was a clerk before being an actor/director I wanted to make movies too. So I guess he found his purpose.
this film is in my top fifteen which is saying something cause i usually watch at least one new film a day and at most five new films a day. Insanely good and is a must watch.
This was so pleasant and relaxing to watch. Quentin's view on acting, screenwriting and movies in general is like a breath of fresh air in the mountains on a sunny morning.
Oh that's good to hear! I was aiming to provide at least one new insight to even the biggest Tarantino fan. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching
This is one of the movies that made me want to make movies, your channel has been a godsend over the past few days, sad it took me so long to find this channel.
A lot of what he's saying I've never put too much thought about for his movies, but makes sense. A lot of times critics will talks about how characters in movies do such contrived things - whereas Quentin puts a hard constraint that things always need to obey the rules and then just sees where a situation takes him.
There were some good stories from other films, but I wanted to keep it to one. There's a really cool clip of Tarantino reading an 8-year early draft of Kill Bill. It's in the Robert Rodriguez interview in the description.
Not exactly. BtC did a very good jo of editing the clips of QT referencing his work on IngBas but as we know, QT will definitely trail off in to his own work and how it relates as well as other influences.
I love Tarantino so fuckin much. Just listening to Tarantino talk about film makes me want to get up and write a film. Hardly any other director has so much direct passion poured into film, kind of an obsession almost.
I'm really loving this format of video. I can see this really taking off, and we all really appreciate it. Oh also, I think Scrubs would be an amazing subject for this channel.
What I love most about Quentin's movies is his scripts, to be honest I don't know any other screenwriter as cool as him. And also what I appreciate most about him is the soundtracks of every movie he makes, in my opinion that's an element as important as a script, and like the own Tarantino said on a talk show; "that's the beat of the movie". P.D.; if I said anything wrong in English, you just correct me, it doesn't bother me at all.
For me by far Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino's best masterpiece because of the cast, and above all Christoph Waltz, whose role was Hans Landa. So without him, Inglourious basterds wouldn't have been a succesful movie, thank you Quentin for casting Christoph.
@@errwhattheflipthe movie wouldn't be made if they didn't find the perfect actor to play Hans Landa. Quentin said so himself, he was in the verge of calling off the production because he believed he had wrote a character that wasn't playable by anyone
that last video clip of him talking can apply to any creative profession! I'm in music, and its the same thing. Nobody can teach you passion, drive and talent! You'll make something good if you're all in.
The best thing qbput QT movies is in fact the storyline, the depth of the characters, the dense, intricate dialogues. No special effect or huge action scenes are required. You kinda just fill the gaps with your mind, exactly the same way when you read a book. No amusing images, only the abstract ideas that you go through your thoughts as you make sense of the words printed on pages making you extremely excited.
At 5:15 when he talks about how long his dialogue can get with new info and he doesn’t know how to stop it... Jacky Brown is all I can think of lol. That movie could have cut back on a lil dialogue
You have know idea, I have been learning and researching inglorious basterds so much these past few day, about the incredible writing process that Tarantino took with it and such. The film has grown on me significantly since first watch to where I would now rate it a 9/10 close to a 9.5/10. The effort that you put into these videos is greatly appreciated, and does not go unnoticed. Thank you. If I may provide a few ideas: perhaps a classic film, such as Casablanca or Citizen Kane, any Christopher Nolan film, Wes Anderson, Stranger Things and Good Time. Thank you.
Thank you for your fantastic comment! Inglourious has definitely become my favorite Tarantino film recently. Almost every list you find on the internet ranks Pulp Fiction as the best, which is CRAZY to me. Thank you for your suggestions! I really want to do a Christopher Nolan one. He's a very private man, so it's been a bit difficult to put something together, but I've got some ideas for it. Good Time was really good! That would be a fun video! Thanks again, William.
Most movie directors trying to adapt a novel for screenplay: damn it, now I'm gonna have to make a whole blueprint for this storyline so that it will fit in a 90 minutes recording. Tarantino: just let me write this novel so I can later adapt it into a screenplay because fuck it, it's twice the hard work but I'm a badass and I can.
I watched Inglorious Bastards for the first time in the cinemas in high school. I remember thinking to myself "I want to make a movie like THIS someday." Mission accomplished, Quinten.
I love hearing him talk about how much he loves writing and making movies, keeps a smile on my face, CANT wait for Once upon A time in Hollywood
I agree! I think he's less pretentious that people think and just REALLY passionate. The films he references, the way he talks about character, and the way he lights up when someone gives him the opportunity to actually talk about film is proof of that. Thanks for watching!
boy oh boy was that disappointing
Once upon a time was shit for me at least worst of hes films very boring story
Once upon a time was a great film, i would agree though that not knowing about the tragedies of Charles Manson can take away from the suspense.
@@Sarcasmiccc The movie was a love letter to Sharon Tate and old Hollywood, not a backdrop for a joke.
The movie was an ernest wish.
Took me a while to realize that, but that's what it was. And how nice that we see Tarantino's capable of expressing something sweet like that, even if his way of saying it involves his signature ultraviolence.
I would read a novel by QT
I'm hoping that he'll do something like that once he retires from film!
Just read the screenplays!
He did, it’s called ““̷̢̮̣͕̣̤͙͓́̿̋͝(̶̢̱̥̮͖̹̳̝̭͂́͆̋̓̔̎̑̈́̉͜:̶̛̺̐7̸͔̠̮͂̃̒̉̑́:̸̳͓̲̞̪̝̻̖̾̄̂̏̎.̴̂̂͛̀̽̚͘ͅ-̶̧̙̭͕̼̻̮̙͙͂͝:̷͚̜̝̲̳̮̈́́͠=̶̛͙̻̤̯͑̓̃̄̊͂̑͐͑ͅ
If he decides to release copies of his journals and notebooks from each movie after he stops making movies, he will make bank.

THAT’S A BINGO!

Awesome channel! : )
All of those are great. I have a Coen Bros. video in progress, but I don't know if it's the next one or not...
Coens for sure, but I'd also be keen for True Detective Season 1, Mandy, or The X Files.
Honestly, whatever comes next is going to be good, these videos have so much care and attention put into them without any of the faff about the youtubers career and opinions, making them timeless, as he'll never grow out of what he creates.
Sir, I have been shouting my love of this channel in my friends faces for a couple months now. It is absolutely top 5 channels for me. Thank you for quality content. I'll be watching til the sun burns out.
Dude, Kyle, I really appreciate the support. You've been here since day one. You're awesome. It's people like you I'll have to thank once I hit a milestone. Actually, I'll try to think of something.... thanks again!
Holy fucking shit.
Today is my birthday, and to have discovered this on the suggestions feed today on youtube, during my short break from partying, is truely a blessing. Thank you Tarantino for all your lovely films, I always come back to them!!
Happy belated birthday! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks, RUclips algorithm! haha
Love your videos - and I'm not even a writer or anything. Gives me insight into the wondrous art of filmmaking
That's great! Yeah, this channel is meant for both aspiring screenwriters and film lovers! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the comment :)
Thank you so much, he's one of my favourite directors.
This video was a lot of fun to do!
I hoped that! Your way of analyzing the director only using his own voice in interviews is super interesting!
I've watched this probably 1,304,873 times and it's still inspirational. Awesome video!
He answered my major question right off the bat. The fire in the film always bugged me, as it seemed kind of forced into the narrative. But it doesn't serve the plot so much as the subtext.
The tumbler has turned, and the door is now unlocked...
One of the things he said that people who write a lot can relate to is...when a character you’re writing says something you didn’t know. That does happen! You’ll be writing a dialogue between characters in a scene...and you know roughly what’s going on, but suddenly your character will surprise even YOU...by saying something unexpected...and then you have to work them around or out of it. It’s a great feeling when your characters take on a life of their own...even if you’re not a professional writer. It’s still a satisfying thing to happen.
I used to be very confused about this. I thought it was just writer BS. I have learned however that when you're writing, you should not hold so tightly to your outline and explore things if they happen. You can always rewrite later. I think it's true that often times really great things can come from your subconscious in this way. Thanks for watching!
Behind the Curtain - My pleasure! I’ve had times where characters veered off into dialogue that I just let flow and then I was boxed in 😂 but mostly it works out well. You discover things, like you said...and I think you are right...writers are often perplexed by this notion until it happens. And when it does, it’s unmistakable. You suddenly get it. I can see why some writers have grieved over their own characters dying. And you certainly do not need to be a professional writer to experience this. 👍🏼 Great videos.
When I knew Tarantino never studied in Film School and was a clerk before being an actor/director I wanted to make movies too. So I guess he found his purpose.
If Quentin and Taika Waititi ever tried to write a script together, the fabric of the universe would unravel
In the most amazing way possible.
oh hell yeah
You still sure?
No. They couldn’t be more different
Another home run! You keep nailing it, excellent video.
Thank you!
this film is in my top fifteen which is saying something cause i usually watch at least one new film a day and at most five new films a day. Insanely good and is a must watch.
This was so pleasant and relaxing to watch. Quentin's view on acting, screenwriting and movies in general is like a breath of fresh air in the mountains on a sunny morning.
Great video! There even were a few clips in this that i have never seen/heard, which i didn't think was possible at this point, well done.
Oh that's good to hear! I was aiming to provide at least one new insight to even the biggest Tarantino fan. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching
Not to shit on Lessons From the Screenplay, but it's really really fucking great to see story telling treated as an art instead of a science.
This is one of the movies that made me want to make movies, your channel has been a godsend over the past few days, sad it took me so long to find this channel.
A lot of what he's saying I've never put too much thought about for his movies, but makes sense. A lot of times critics will talks about how characters in movies do such contrived things - whereas Quentin puts a hard constraint that things always need to obey the rules and then just sees where a situation takes him.
Oh boy, now you HAVE to do one on Pulp Fiction!
Haha we'll see
More like: How Quentin Tarantino Wrote Everything ;)
There were some good stories from other films, but I wanted to keep it to one. There's a really cool clip of Tarantino reading an 8-year early draft of Kill Bill. It's in the Robert Rodriguez interview in the description.
Not exactly. BtC did a very good jo of editing the clips of QT referencing his work on IngBas but as we know, QT will definitely trail off in to his own work and how it relates as well as other influences.
Regards to Quentin and the long scene; he learned from Sergio Leone not to be afraid of the long shot.
Love Tarantino, thanks for compiling all these interviews!
Sure thing! It was great to listen to him. I learned a lot about his process.
Make a plan and write the plan up to the middle is perhaps the best screenwriting advice I’ve ever heard, at least for me personally.
I love Tarantino so fuckin much. Just listening to Tarantino talk about film makes me want to get up and write a film. Hardly any other director has so much direct passion poured into film, kind of an obsession almost.
I'm really loving this format of video. I can see this really taking off, and we all really appreciate it. Oh also, I think Scrubs would be an amazing subject for this channel.
I'm glad you like it! I've learned a lot from it and I'm glad others are as well. Thanks for watching. :)
What I love most about Quentin's movies is his scripts, to be honest I don't know any other screenwriter as cool as him. And also what I appreciate most about him is the soundtracks of every movie he makes, in my opinion that's an element as important as a script, and like the own Tarantino said on a talk show; "that's the beat of the movie".
P.D.; if I said anything wrong in English, you just correct me, it doesn't bother me at all.
Wasn't expecting to watch all your videos tonight, but here we are. Got a sub from me buddy. Keep it up.
Thanks, Jon! Glad you're enjoying the videos. I've got a lot more coming!
Keep them coming man.
Thanks, Anmol!
For me by far Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino's best masterpiece because of the cast, and above all Christoph Waltz, whose role was Hans Landa. So without him, Inglourious basterds wouldn't have been a succesful movie, thank you Quentin for casting Christoph.
I think it would still be a great movie if it were done with a slightly worse villain and worse actor, but Waltz absolutely elevated the film
@@errwhattheflipthe movie wouldn't be made if they didn't find the perfect actor to play Hans Landa. Quentin said so himself, he was in the verge of calling off the production because he believed he had wrote a character that wasn't playable by anyone
It's called agile "Scrum" (look it up). Have a vision, a short term plan and iterate as you learn.
I like that
That would be pretty cool if Tarantino published a novel.
that last video clip of him talking can apply to any creative profession! I'm in music, and its the same thing. Nobody can teach you passion, drive and talent! You'll make something good if you're all in.
The best thing qbput QT movies is in fact the storyline, the depth of the characters, the dense, intricate dialogues. No special effect or huge action scenes are required. You kinda just fill the gaps with your mind, exactly the same way when you read a book. No amusing images, only the abstract ideas that you go through your thoughts as you make sense of the words printed on pages making you extremely excited.
Doing what you love - nice one QT.
This is a very cool channel-- thanks for putting all these interviews together like this!
Glad you've enjoyed the videos! Thanks.
I love, love, love the long monologues in Basterds
That last line is the truest shit on Earth.
Tarantino should make a tv show, really give him time to explore a set of characters to a level and depth he wouldn't have time to in a movie
At 5:15 when he talks about how long his dialogue can get with new info and he doesn’t know how to stop it... Jacky Brown is all I can think of lol. That movie could have cut back on a lil dialogue
Every time you post a new vid, you pick a film/show that I have a very deep personal connection with. Keep it up, love your taste and work
That's really good to hear! We must have similar taste! Any recommendations?
Behind the Curtain Chernobyl, Barry, South Park, Nolan Batman Trilogy, More Fincher and Sorkin are all video ideas I’ve had in mind
I. Love. All of those.
You have know idea, I have been learning and researching inglorious basterds so much these past few day, about the incredible writing process that Tarantino took with it and such. The film has grown on me significantly since first watch to where I would now rate it a 9/10 close to a 9.5/10. The effort that you put into these videos is greatly appreciated, and does not go unnoticed. Thank you. If I may provide a few ideas: perhaps a classic film, such as Casablanca or Citizen Kane, any Christopher Nolan film, Wes Anderson, Stranger Things and Good Time. Thank you.
Thank you for your fantastic comment! Inglourious has definitely become my favorite Tarantino film recently. Almost every list you find on the internet ranks Pulp Fiction as the best, which is CRAZY to me. Thank you for your suggestions! I really want to do a Christopher Nolan one. He's a very private man, so it's been a bit difficult to put something together, but I've got some ideas for it. Good Time was really good! That would be a fun video! Thanks again, William.
You know I'm a big fan of your channel.
Thanks again for the great content mate!
Thank you for watching!
My favorite movie of Quentin
Most movie directors trying to adapt a novel for screenplay: damn it, now I'm gonna have to make a whole blueprint for this storyline so that it will fit in a 90 minutes recording.
Tarantino: just let me write this novel so I can later adapt it into a screenplay because fuck it, it's twice the hard work but I'm a badass and I can.
I think QT should do a TV series so his imagination don't limit himself. So he can introduce us to his beautiful rich world ...
Basement scene alone is a masterpiece
Yet another great video. Thanks so much for all your hard work. Such a high quality channel!💥💥💥
Thanks, Robin! :)
Behind the Curtain you are so ver welcome. Hope thing are going well for you in La La Land
It's been really great so far. Definitely the right choice for me. Thanks for saying that!
That last clip of Tarantino talking really inspired me. I’m gonna make a great movie
Damn, he made me tear up for a second at the end there
I watched Inglorious Bastards for the first time in the cinemas in high school. I remember thinking to myself "I want to make a movie like THIS someday." Mission accomplished, Quinten.
Do the shinning next, PLEASE!
Great suggestion!
Youve got the shin boy!
That last bit of wisdom he gave us is something I've believed and had for a very long time. GG Mr. Tarantino.
Quentin Tarantino could write the longest script ever and I'd still see the movie.
It worked for me, Tarantino made me go down the film path, forever changing my life
he said that he wants to make movies that inspired other people to makes movies. One of the main reason I want to make movies is because of him.
Instant click on the notification! ❤
