  • In this video we take an in-depth look at How Tarantino Writes Characters!
    Quentin Tarantino is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and author.
    Tarantino’s screenwriting credits include Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and The Hateful Eight. Tarantino has claimed that he likes to leave 20% of the movie ‘unseen’ (an example of this is, not showing you what is in the suitcase in Pulp Fiction) “so the movie is really yours”.
    If you are a screenwriter or filmmaker looking for tips on how to tell a story, then you've come to the right place!

    I remember seeing Kill Bill at age 7 or 8, so you must imagine how violent that movie was for a 8-years-kid, but I never cared about it in that time. Moreover, Tarantino's scripts are pure gold, and that's why no one writes as well as Quentin.

      Yeah, they don't really give any direct tips on how to help us write. I really don't think these youtubers even know how to teach how tarantino writes.
      "He embodies his characters"
      "He understands the value of actors"
      "A great scene has great characters"
      Wow, how observant

      ​@@funkmasteryoda8323Tarantino went to movies, you should too. When I was a kid I imagined everything characters did when the camera stopped recording. "Han developed a thing for old droids because there was a black market for old robots. Leia wanted lots of kids. Han developed Erectile dysfunction because his wife was a sex machine (Leia's slave girl attire). Han read about microscopic machines so he injected himself with that. Then he started talking in machine language (The Brainiac scene from Superman 3 left a profound affect on me).Eventually Luke starts talking to plants and animals through the force.....".
      I could go on but the point remains, find characters in films, imagine scenarios for those characters after the camera stops recording, write extensively about their shenanigans, write your own stories, look through your continuing adventures of the numerous film characters you've written about, adapt them to your stories, use their content and dialogue for and as your new characters. No one's the wiser.

      @@jamaldominicbarr7379 I mean, that's sorta likr a shortcut, and it's not generally applicable theory for writing. It's like the opposite of these videos: they're too generic and uninquisitive, this is too specific and unapplicable

      @@littleredruri Tarantino always said that he studied movies. Undoubtedly that's where the dialogue came from; him adding and taking away established dialogue from the many movies he watched. Another muse for him may have been the way movies uses music in specific scenes, and of how that may have molded the characters, events and dialogues in his mind.
      At the end of the day this is all speculation because if there were a means by which to accurately quantify Tarantino, we'd all be doing Tarantino esque fiction instead of pontificating here.

    Awesome work man. In depth and detailed. And I love how you actually showed the dialogue. You should easily have over 100k views on this one. It’s a hidden gem right now but I’m gonna subscribe.

    That was very insightful, thank you. I think that the soundtrack (or lack thereof) is also an intrinsic element of QT’s films; pure synergy.

      It's from the script and the opening scene is very different in the original script. Right here, it's showing Mr. Pink but it's Mr. Brown who ended up saying it. The next dialogue after that is from Mr. Blue but it's Mr. Blonde who ended up saying it in the movie. And that whole thing about tipping the waitress? It wasn't Mr. Pink who didn't believe in tipping, but instead it was Mr. White.

    Sisu is very Tarantino like in how it's written. Very little dialogue. A bit like rambo in that way. But the screenplay itself reminded me alot of a Tarantino film

      Probably monetization? The context of the censorship adds nothing to the message being advised, so it's sensible for the channel to claim their bag while providing otherwise free information/insight.
