I felt the same way about the ending of "The Grey" i like that it doesn't show what actually happened yet dumb ppl get mad about it cuz they want to know what happens during the ending all cuz they have no real imagination cuz they all suck at life & have privileged skulls with no real brains!!!! Mystery is always more interesting than fact!!!!
He respects the intelligence of his audience. That's why he can still sell movies in an on demand world.

Quentin is a solid director because he never stopped being a viewer.
And he focuses on story
All time great* the Marvel directors are solid, Tarantino is a legend
Just solid? Lol that’s a massive understatement
@@clonezy7800you’re right, they’re terrible and have ruined the vast majority of movies for a generation
Then what if I saw the movie multiple times with a different imagination?
Ooh I'm so excited to try this way 🔥
Quentin is one of those guys who doesn’t think his audience are idiots.
Good thing he isn't on twitter.
It makes his movies interactive in a way, almost like a movie within a movie but you get to direct it. Its a never ending suspense
*Quentin whispers:* "But between you and me, what really was in the briefcase was a picture of bare feet."
👏👏👏
I always thought it was Wallace’s soul.
This one caught me wayyyy off guard hahahaha
@Six66string Same. And the band-aid on the back of his neck is where it was extracted.
@@meat-hook people eat up anything they hear and will bloviate about it freely
My favorite writer/director of all time. All of his movies are perfectly thought out down to every little detail. He’s incredibly eccentric in the best way
I couldn’t agree more!
Death Proof was pretty shit.
@@BrainGrapes actually if you look at it in a satirical way it’s pretty damn hilarious. That is a genre film it’s supposed to be corny. Tell me rose mcgowan with a assault rifle as a leg isn’t one of the funniest things you’ve ever seen
@@mandeejanssen8600 Death Proof isn't the one with Rise McGowan with a gun leg. That's Planet Terror, and I think that's actually a Robert Rodriguez film.
@@alaron5698 oh you’re right! Death proof is the Kurt Russel one with the car 🤦🏻♀️my bad, Quentin WAS a producer on it tho!!
He is the definition of a perfect director. GENIUS! GENIUS! GENIUS!
Perfect no,no... There are no perfect people and none the less directors.
@@jesse-ll3dh people? I'm not talking about him being perfect as a person, I was referring to his work as a director. When I say perfect, I don't mean he's the best and only he does it perfect, I'm talking about how he, along with a few other veteran directors, still make original movies and the dialog is incredible and just the way he films the movie is amazing. There are a few other directors like Scorsese that I think make perfect films still. Most movies nowadays are 🗑. That's just my opinion.
@@apach0108 well your the one with 43 likes on this one pal. I have a problem with QT. You see his dialogue in movies are a bit racist and repetitive. His feet fetish is a bit odd and weird to me also. I seen that Death Trap something I forget the other word and the Planet Terror movie at the AMC movie theater in April of 2007.
The world isn't sunshine and roses. Racism and other negative things exists. Addressing them through art is important to culture.
@@jesse-ll3dhImagine thinking a foot fetish is weird in 2023, must be a fucking boomer lmao
Totally the same as with poetry, the individuality of interpretation is the real identity of the piece 👏🏼👏🏼
As a poet, I love this!
He explained that so well "if I tell you what it is, you'll just throw that (what you imagined) out the window. And I don't want that, that was YOUR movie!". Awesome!
I'd prefer it if he hadn't said that there he knows the character's past he tells the actor the character's past but not the audience implying there is an absolute truth which it makes it hard to accept what I want to be the truth as the absolute truth.
@@chadwillett619 But your version COULD be the absolute truth, you’ll just never know. So your version might as well be correct.
@@MrEvakin1 I get that's the idea but my brain doesn't work like that. Since I know there is a truth my guess will always be just that...a guess. If he would have said that part of the story is not written so the viewer can fill in the blank I would be able to accept it. Right now it just pisses me off he knows what's in the briefcase the actors know but I'm suppose to guess fuck that. As I'm typing I think i found out the real reason he keeps these secrets is so people have a reason to discuss them in 25 years+ after they watch for the first time. Forest Gump is a great movie but people aren't dying to know more about any single scene in that movie.
@@chadwillett619 he said he knows all the characters back stories etc, he didn't explicitly say he knew what was in the briefcase. He may have told the actors a certain object or substance was in the case in order to get them to react a certain way, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter what it was. Something valuable, that's all you need to know
Fuck what I know. What's in the fucking briefcase?! 😭
Marcellius Wallace is the Valve Guy, and in the briefcase is the red valve from the back of his head, hence the bandaid.
You just connected two parts of my brain that never had a pathway and it led first down a pathway of anger, followed by confusion.
😂😂😂
While I've never been a huge fan of Tarantino's work, I've always loved when filmmakers make this decision.
That's why he's so legendary, he respects his audience's intelligence
And that's exactly why there is never any woke crap in his movies.
@@Ricardo-cl3vssorry bud but Django is a woke fever dream the only thing missing was Hilda saving the day.
@@capitalizingcapitalist1202
No, Quentin always had a thing for black culture but Django is not "woke" and I am very allergic to anything woke, believe me!
@@capitalizingcapitalist1202Shut up nig
@@capitalizingcapitalist1202Thinking slavery is bad is now woke? Jeez you're just as bad if not worse as the woke people you despise.
this is why he is so good, he leaves the explanations of unnecessary details to you, because you will always make up something cooler than he could, even if it is just cool to yourself
Its perfect. Like asking someone whats their perfect idea of a vacation. Youll always come up with the perfect explanation for you.
It’s perfect because it’s not so important in the story that it is annoying we don’t know, but something fun that we can make up in our heads
@@ok-ri1jj i like ambiguous endings too, like Inception. One of my favorites. He spins the totem to see if hes in reality, but once he hears his kids call his name, he doesnt care anymore. It doesnt matter. Hes with his kids. Was a heartwrenching moment for me.
@@ZOMGItsNathan hate to break it to you but the guy who wrote that movie actually explained the ending to us. It was indeed reality.
this is exactly why he wont do a kill bill 3 he wants us to imagine what shes doing
What a legend. I love this attitude.
This idea, and the dialogue, is what makes QT stand out the way he does. Magnificent movie maker!
Man Quentin needs to make a video game. It would be majestic, funny and wouldn’t hold our hands
As weird a combo as it seems, Tarantino and From Software be the perfect fit
@@ClaeFace Exactly, like the "don't hold my hand, let me figure shit on my own" type that they both resonate.
Reminds me of a game called Kenshi
@@777dobbin777KENSHI IS SO GOOD
With that said, it almost feels like a game by Tarantino would have the same discovery element of Elden Ring. I swear Elden Ring's open world is the best because every cave or dungeon you stumbled across ALWAYS had a unique weapon or trinket that you couldn't find anywhere else. No hand holding or anything just shit you found on your own and you were proud because YOU DID THAT SHIT!
A magician never reveals his tricks, it's part of the magical moment
Tbh up until this point, I always assumed the scar around Aldo Rains neck was from someone slitting his throat (or at least trying to). With his nickname, Aldo “the Apache”, feeding into this brutal style of torture/execution he was guilty of and likely was also subject to himself.
@@kjb6637I just thought it was from a suicide attempt
nah, he just forgot the lemon that one time... 😏
@@kjb6637 same, but I suppose rope burn scars look very similar
The more I hear Quentin speak, the more I appreciate him as a writer director.
He fully gets what makes things entertaining
I like this comment!
Yes. Until you hear him code switching while talking to black people
Me too, hes a true artist
@@redbullbill8766 whether you like it or not everyone code switches regardless of race
There is a reason why he doesn’t have a single bad movie. He respects the audience, and wants them to create their own experience from those unexplained details. Truly what makes an amazing director.
He does have a bad movie, and it's called Jackie Brown. That movie was a drag to sit through
@@bodhidharmashmarma5179 Jackie Brown was great. Of the 9 he’s made, Death Proof was probably his worst. And I still loved it.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
3. Inglorious Bastards
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Kill Bill
6. Django
7. Jackie Brown
8. Hateful Eight
9. Death Proof
He’s got some overrated stuff let’s be honest
@@bodhidharmashmarma5179 That's your opinion though, a wrong one but your's.
@@jmeds94
1- Kill Bill (i just love kung fu movies, so badass)
2- Django (best cast)
3- Pulp Fiction (funnier, innovative)
4- Reservoir Dogs (surprising)
5- Hateful Eight (complex scenario, but not deep enough and weak characters)
6- Inglorious Bastards (the end is not that good, too much manicheism, but good action)
7- Jackie Brown (less action, takes a lot of time, but some memorable scenes)
8- Once upon a time in borelywood (too many inside jokes, too slow, the last 30 minutes saves the movie)
I think that concept and those details make films more authentic also.
So, in the context of the film those characters existed before the timeline of the main plot; just like every person you meet in real life has their own life and stories to tell prior to you even knowing them.
Pretty cool
He does not make standard movies, he makes RPG movies.
Wow! Good one!

What is RPG ?
@@billwilliams9362 it's a term for a genre of video games. RPG=Role Playing Games
It's a game where a player assumes the role of the character he is playing as, meaning his decisions and inputs have a lot more impact than they would if they played as a protagonist in a linear story driven game.
@@billwilliams9362 it's a Rocket propelled grenade 🤯
the most underrated director of our generation and he stopped at ten movies if only there was a way we could get quentin tarantino back behind a camera the year is twenty twenty four
i love Mr. Tarantino’s openness to interpretation in his work, he doesn’t care to elaborate he wants us to wonder and be imaginative and i love that
He’s said that his next movie will be his last, and he will be greatly missed. A true film genius
Wait did he really say this?
@@jimsmith3715yes, The Movie Critic will be his final film direction, but he has said he’s still open to writing stories, plays, or even shows
He said it but I wouldn’t be so sure he’ll keep his word.
@@Xlaeflicks I hope he doesn’t, I’d love more tarantino films
He says that stuff all the time. Brett farve of directors
it's so nice to hear him cheer his fans on
a man that loves watching movies will make the best movies. Too many movies give away the whole movie in the trailer alone. This is a man that respects his audience and makes up come back to watch time and time again
My first introduction to Quentin was Pulp Fiction in the theater the year it came out. I have never laughed so hard in the theater before or since. Have been a fan of his work all my adult life.
“The best thing an artist can do is leave something for the viewer to create for themselves.”

I’ve heard theories saying they’re the diamonds from the heist in Reservoir Dogs, since Marcellus’ name was mentioned in Reservoir Dogs as essentially their normal boss but he was in prison at the time.
The earliest theory I ever heard in like '96 was that it is the gold suit that was worn by the imaginary Elvis from True Romance. And fwiw, Marcellus has a different last name in each film, Spivey and Wallace. And Joe had no boss, and diamonds are not gold.
@@ItsAllBallBearings A lot believe the difference is Marcellus wanted to change his last name after getting out of prison to not alert certain entities to his existence & to still exist. Joe mentions about Marcellus usually moving his diamonds but Mr. White tells him he’s in jail in Susanville.
The shining seems to be more meant to be a “this is valuable” thing, than a “look it’s gold” way, since if you’re being realistic there would also be a light inside the case set to turn on every time someone opens it, which Roger Avary (who has a “story by” credit) said “somebody had the bright idea of putting an orange lightbulb in there, which I feel is a mistake, given they could think it’s supernatural or something else.” Avary also confirmed that throughout most of the stages of writing the screenplay, they were the diamonds. However they took the mention of diamonds out before the final draft to make the watcher wonder what it is.
Maybe it could be True Romance’s Elvis suit given the way Vincent responds to looking at it, given he’s an admitted Elvis fan.
I know a LOT of people thought it was Marcellus’ soul given the “666” needed to open the case, that it glowed, the thought that Marcellus made a deal with the devil for his soul in exchange for riches, & the cut on his head being where his soul was taken. Those are all huge leaps though.
That's interesting never heard that I always thought it's Marcellus w soul and that band aid on his neck is 666 or some kind of mark of beast
@@Trymr I like the Reservoir Dogs tie in. I like to believe it’s the Diamonds. There’s just a lot of tie ins to both movies like unofficial spin-offs to each other. I like the Vic and Vincent were brothers, to bad we never got a scene with the both of them even if it had to be a flashback or something. Would’ve loved to see a flashback of Vincent talking to Vic in prison and we just see Marcellus walk by in the background, ultimately tying the movies together even more.
@@Yo-uk1wb I've heard that too, which I thought was pretty cool. Interestingly enough, that band aid wasn't a specific choice by Tarantino.... Ving Rhames has a bad scar on the back of his neck and wanted to cover it up once he realized how Tarantino would be shooting that scene, so he slapped the band aid on there.
This is why I think that video games are art. Your experience playing the game will never be the same as another’s experience; that makes it your game.
this is a big part of his brilliance, making the movie ours
It's the things like this I love about Quentin he genuinely puts so much heart and thought into his work .
Tarantino is so unbelievably clever. That's such a great idea.
He didn’t invent this trope
Damn he is so masterful at his craft! Every time he explains about the way he does something in the movies or the reason he does something in the movies it always makes perfect sense.
This man knows a thing or two about film huh
How?
@@0532MOET r u dumb
@@cavmain920 ? Wtf?

It had a yellow glow. That briefcase had gold in it.
Every single thing I see about Quentin makes me more and more compelled. He is incredible. And incredibly right about the mystery, I have had many conversations about the briefcase with people
Tarantino taught me that as long as I know the character, I don't need to write his life story introducing him. His introduction and later actions are what do that.
We don't need to know how Han Solo got his name.
Lucas built the names from old languages. solo simply implies he spent much time alone and that he's an independent spirit. all the names mean something. you dont have to know, but if you research it you gain a deeper understanding of the characters.
@@orangewarm1 Did you see the Han Solo movie? Some random bureaucrat gave him his name.
@@johngalt5205 I didn’t watch the movie, didn’t need to know.
@@andyespinozam It's cringe. Count yourself lucky. We also found out a lot of other unnecessary backstory stuff.
@@johngalt5205 Also Darth Maul just...makes an appearance for no reason? Like, why did he have to be some puppet master, dude has other things to worry about
Dude is on another level of creativity
and that's part of what makes him a stand out genius.
He's a frigging genius. All I know about the contents of the briefcase is that it's not only beautiful, or valuable but completely humbles whoever sees it. For a few seconds they appear to be seeing god
Heroin
Maybe simplistic but I think the briefcase was filled w/a shipment of polished stones from Israel.
@@CintekzCollectiblesinteresting theory from me about it being the diamonds from RD- Quentin originally wanted Michael madsen to reprise his role as Vic Vega but he couldn’t because of scheduling, so he made travolta his brother. So I’ve always wondered if it really was the diamonds because everyone else is mesmerized but Vincent’s reaction really does seem like a sociopath looking at the diamonds that basically got his brother killed. He’s in shock at first then subtly excited. Because yes whatever the contents are they’re very valuable & I remember in RD they said the stones were worth over 2 million just for a small briefcase worth
Dammit he is such a brilliant filmmaker, I love how much he cares about his audience having a good time.
His movies are basically those old books where it’s like you take the path(turn to page 46) or you cross the bridge(turn to page 74) but for each individual set of eyes watching it, very interesting
Twist-a-plot books were the best
Choose Your Own Adventure.
Yeah, they were pretty good. Even though, I would always just mark my place, flip back, and read both.
What I like about this approach to it is it mimics the effect a reader has when the conceptualize how something looks in their heads. It’s that way to activate the imagination enough to fill in for what’s missing and makes the audience part of the creation. He understands that idea really well.
He summed up what I love and champion about film to people who take them for granted. Everyone walks away from a film with a unique psychological experience
This is what art should be. Many directors want to push a specific agenda and put certain ideas into the audience’s heads. Quentin knows that his job as a creator isn’t to tell people what to think but to ask questions that viewers will consider and come to their own conclusions.
Crazy how much thought is put into something that’s never mentioned or a big part of a film. Absolute GOAT
I would never come up with a “reason” for the rope burn, but it clearly shows the characters authenticity. I mean it’s sold so well.
This guy should really make a movie. He's got it.
I feel that way about singer/songwriters who make the words in their songs a little difficult to understand so that the listeners mind fills in the blanks. It's mesmerizing to me.
Eddie Vedder
Thom Yorke
James Maynard Keenan
Carly Simon.
And this is why I will watch every movie he ever puts out
Well he’s only making one more movie then retiring. Unfortunately.
What a legend. I love his rationale of letting the viewer decide. Reminds me of the end of Inception.
And this is why i love jazz for the same reason right HERE.
"We happy?"
Damn Right.
He’s a unique treasure of this generations screenwriting and film direction
He’s one of the greatest filmmakers in all of history, he’s been an inspiration of mine for years now. I will never get tired of Tarantino movies and the logic behind their stories. The man is a genius.
I love every movie he’s made specially the last ones where his craft had reached perfection.
Art that's open for interpretation is genius because you get soul-touching "themes" without actually putting your own beliefs into your work, so anybody can apply their own beliefs and have a potentially life changing experience.
Well said
I love how he said, that’s your movie,got a true creators mindset of releasing your art for the world to interpret
I love how Tarantino movies make you think. They make you ask questions that's why they're so good.
F**k I love this man and his compassion for the compassion his audience/fans have.
I like that Quentin doesn't flat out tell you. Quentin trusts the audience's imagination to come up with a much more interesting reason for the rope burn or what's the gold glowing object in the briefcase.
It’s like reading a book you have your own images of the fictional book as opposed to someone else … brilliant
He is so fricken smart and creative...I LOVE YOU QUENTIN!!!!!!!!
A director that actually wants you to make your own decisions and put some thought into his movie rather than spelling out the exact plot, telling you exactly what to feel, and drowning you in exposition. This is why I can watch his movies a dozen times and still have a good time
Or shoving some disgusting politics out of this reality down the thorat

That's how Maynard James Keenan writes his music. Every single person is going to listen to any one of his songs/albums and have a different meaning/understanding. He leaves ot all open ended and open to interpretation. Hence the name TOOL. He uses his music so that every listener can use the music as a tool.
Quentin and Maynard are masters in their craft.
Well yes, but in an interview he mentioned how even the name TOOL itself can fit to this. He said something like it can even be a dick joke. OR it can be a tool for the audience. Its completely up to the listener
@@TheKokendope Exactly!! By the way I fuckin love your user name 👌🏽👌🏽😂😂
Frigging Genius! Make the audience think, question, and guess the possibility.
This dude is a genius.....for real. Listen to him talk and explain his methods....there's a reason why he's made so many great movies....he's one of my all time favorites even if sometimes I can't stomach some of the scenes more than once, lol
Little things like that adds so much depth to the characters
This applies really well to epic music pieces as well
This man is a gift
His passion equaled only by his brilliance
One of the best directors of all time.
I always thought the briefcase contained the jewels stolen in Reservoir Dog. Then learning that Vincent and Mr Blonde are brothers (Vega brothers), reinforced that theory.
When I first watched the movie in theater; I thought it was gold bars.
Then years later when I watched it on vhs I thought it was gold heroin.
Then just recently on stream, I was thinking it was his soul.
I love his movie’s.
Watching a variety of these Tarantino clips I've come to realize how creative and talented he is. He has a very unique personality - super interesting.
I love this guy, he makes great movies, and he recognizes beauty in certain body parts that everyone may not agree with, but I sure do💁🏻♀️
The most chill I've ever seen QT
My brother told me that he hates Nirvana because Nirvana just sings about random stuff that doesn't make any sense and I told him that it's not supposed to make sense because it's your job to determine what it's about and add your own value to it and that's what makes it valuable art.
When I paint something I never tell people what it is because I want them to come to their own conclusion because I feel like it gives my painting more value and when I compare myself to other artists I often look for that same trait in them and that's why I think so highly of this director.
That's why I like art. Each artwork I see has its own meaning to me. Same with books. No one else will imagine the same thing I did when I read it.
wait a minute, if people don't have a general idea of what you have painted, HOW is that "art"? if i put a blob of red paint on a blank white canvass, that doesn't make it some transcendent statement about "humanity", it just means I'm talentless AND pompous. or do you mean you paint 4 people in a car, and its up to the viewer to decide what they're up to?
My cousin told me the same thing once. He said Kurt’s lyrics are all gibberish to him. I couldn’t believe what he said because to me the words from the songs meant something and told a story to me. I guess some people interpret things differently in their own way and that’s fine.
Aldo’s rope burn happened during an impromptu limbo competition at a carnival. Aldo, fueled by an inexplicable burst of enthusiasm, attempted an audacious backflip under the limbo stick. Unbeknownst to him, a clown decided to replace the limbo stick with a hastily tied rope. Aldo's ambitious acrobatics resulted in an unexpected neck-high encounter with the disguised rope, leaving him with a hilarious rope burn that became the talk of the carnival for years to come.
This is one of the reasons why I like Cinema so much. You can interpret and make your own stories. I have such conversations with my father on our interpretation of a certain film, its really fun and also let's us be the writer in some way
So great! I love that! He is one of my favorites of all time. Also bringing out the best in his actors and having a specific vision for each character is one of his underrated brilliances. Literally watch Eli Roth as a cameo in one of his own movies. Then watch him in Inglorius Basterds. Tarantino actually converts him into a legit actor and I didn’t think it would be possible.
I’m picture Aldo Raines character getting hung by some rival bootleg outfit back in the hills! Then he went on a Tristian Ludlow style rampage!!
I always thought it was from back home but tbh i thought his throat hafd been sliced not a rope burn but they didn't go deep enough and scalps were collected.
I imagine it happened in a campaign in Africa and the scar was surprisingly not a rope. I don't know what cause my imagination kind of stopped there lol
I always say that inside the briefcase was happiness.
Love listening to him explain his methods . Such a clever man in his business
I like the idea for such a detailed screenwriter, who loves his craft, to encourage fanfiction in this way.
I like how Tarantino makes it about you the moviegoer in the end.
it's about him
Such an exceptional movie maker. Love them all
Absolutely brilliant
*opens the case*: "oh yes, it's a cliche"
and thats your cliché movie now
The depth of this guy is endless. Those details and the intent behind them is just so cool. Truly in a league of his own.
This is why he is a Film Genius and churns out Masterpieces like they are nothing. Such a brilliant mind. Love Tarantino's works.
I always assumed it was the movie itself that’s in the briefcase.
Tarantino is a post modernist filmmaker;
he’s deconstructing genres and reusing tropes in different ways. So much so that the writer’s hand calls attention to itself, or in other words, the movie knows it’s a movie.
Before Jules and Vincent enter the apartment in the beginning, they walk away and have a side bar at the end of the hallway because they’re ahead of schedule - almost as if they know they aren’t ahead of their character’s schedule, but the movie’s schedule.
When they finish up their discussion about the meaning of a foot massage, Jules says, “Ok let’s get into character.” When he says that, it’s like the characters had stepped out of the movie for a moment to just have a normal conversation between themselves- it’s like as viewers we weren’t even supposed to see it, the movie should have cut away, but didn’t.
So with all of that being said, the briefcase is just a representation of a trope: the thing Tarantino is playing around with, and the thing the main characters have to recover in order to kick start the movie.
Therefore, it’s the film itself that’s in the briefcase, because without the motivation of going after the briefcase, there would cease to be a an inciting incident to kick off Jules and Vincent’s story, and therefore no movie.
It’s the inciting incident, the thing that’s holding the movie together, that’s in the briefcase. That’s why the characters care about it so much, because without it they wouldn’t exist.
I can't wait for his TV mini series 🧐 I'm dying to know what it's about
Tv series? I didn’t know about that. Damn, that’s going to be amazing
Perfection
He's a genius. Just like music and art, people can interpret them in many different ways!
I wish more directors care so deeply about the craft of film as he does
Hey, QT tell us about the suitcase in Pulp Fiction, please:) HA! It's been enough time, I just want to hear it from you:)
It. Was. $$$$ OR . $ 300.000. Worth. Of. Uncut Herion
The brilliance of ambiguity. Have always loved when it's used well in movies.
