Please do a take on Attack On Titan
Do and it's always sunny review
Thank you for these essays. They encourage me and yet discourage me. Film and comicbooks do that to me. They make me believe that I too can create memorable stories but also at the same time make me feel small. Regardless. Thank you for these videos
I like the naturalistic side to long dialogue but the wordy dialogue bores me
That was great honey, I never put the link together about 'The Bride' & 'Pulp Fiction' before. Seems so obvious now that you say it... 🤔
You know it's a Tarantino film when you see blood and gore and somehow it's funny rather than disturbing.
Damn
F CV witch is a disturbing fact by itself.
JMB what’s disturbing is your attempt at spelling.
In once upon a time in Hollywood I found the screaming girl in the end more annoying than funny
I think it's got to do with the execution and the overall mood. In a QT movie, the blood and gore is either shown as a part of the main character's revenge (Kill Bill or Django Unchained for instances) or it's done to people who kinda deserve it (the Manson family murderers in OUATIH). And in both the cases, the build-up, the music, and the overall mood is such that you're either cheering for the kills or simply LOLing at the way they're dying.
However, when you go to watch a movie like "Hereditary", the scene in the car is bound to shock you and disturb you because that's the whole point of the movie. QT's movie are mostly for entertainment with some fantastic cinematic moments. :)
The long conversations that pertain to nothing are one of the most entertaining parts of his movies...
Crazy Joe Davola they create depth and humanity in ways that plot driven dialogue could never dream of
@@SpectraStarShooter - For sure
They add to the surrealism of his work. As stated, his characters are violent criminals. But like us, they talk about pointless things. The contrast between mundane and violent is just so fascinating.
Yes. You get to know how the characters are. For example, the waitress tips scene at the beginning of Reservoir Dogs. After that scene you know exactly the personalities of each characters.
its true it as if you are reading a book an you get more insight on X persons perosnality
No way Tarantino retires after 10 films. He loves it too much.
X C He might but i reckon he’ll retire from making films. However, he’d start writing books or theatres instead.
I think that's exactly why he will. Tarantino understands that anything good has to end before you run it into the ground.
@@pongdavid1994 I would LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE for him to do theatre. I always viewed Reservoir Dogs & Hateful Eight more as Plays.
I don’t think he’ll retire after ten but most likely around 12. He said in an interview that the 10 rule isn’t something he’s going to necessarily follow to the tee. It’s a rule he puts on himself so that he could know if a movie that he is making is good enough to be worth it. If it’s going to be one of his ten movies then he can’t make them anymore, it better be good. But if he has a great movie idea that he needs to get out after he’s done 10 films he said he would do it.
@@ChuckD008 yeah the hateful eight would work brilliantly as a play
The reason Samuel Jackson is in so many of Tarantino’s movies is because Sam is his primary source of N-Word passes
Ta makes sense! I always wondered how he was let off with it so much!
You guys are full of shit, he writes with Sam in mind Sam is not the only black character in his movies
Nick Stephens ikr! Sam J is always in mind.
sick hot take
@@isaacster5027 ))l£667567
Feet, 60s/70s soundtrack, random TV and Film references, cavalier use of the N word
Tone Riggz very cavalier lol
HaliniSnow and feet
stradlater I was about to say that
marvel tea I was making fun of another guy that was repeating it even though it was already said. He deleted his comment.
What's the N word?
...if there are feet
Nick Asas and there it is...yea dude has a fetish
Is quentin tarantino movie
So if ppl have no feet then its not Quino film
Full Clock Quino
@@qgray9309 huh?
In an interview with a film reviewer, who asked him why his movies are so violent.
His response was “BECAUSE IT’S FUN”
Her name was Jan lol
BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH FUN JAN, GET IT.
BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH FUN, JAN, GET IT!
what was the name of this interview?
BECAUSE ITS SO MUCH FUN, JAN!
The diner scene in Reservoir Dogs isn't "dialogue for no reason". It's arguably one of the most important scenes in the movie! Each character's behavior and what they say tell the audience exactly who each character is and their motivations at the beginning of the film. For instance, Mr. Pink's "no tipping" dialogue tells us that he's in it for himself, which we indeed see later. Joe telling everyone to tip highlights his status as the boss, and Eddie blindly carries out his order and gets everyone to throw in. Mr. Blonde shows he's ready to kill without consequence by jokingly offering to shoot Mr. White, Mr. White shows he's compassionate by nature by defending the waitresses, and Mr. Orange argues with the rest, highlighting his being "at odds" with the group - he's the rat.
Good eye, excellent breakdown of the scene. :)
Exactly! Well said.
David Sigura holy shit, you genius
Yh but the Madonna shit had absolutely nothing to do with anything
Yep. Every point you make is spot on & ones I’ve read many times before 👍
His tenth movie is like the Avengers infinity wars where every character in his movies come together into the same universe probably to drop the n-bomb too many times
That would be epic.
@@carolfromhr9900 Just 3 unbroken hours of everyone saying the N-word one after the other XD
Willy Wong I’m black and I approve, its just a word, use it with context
That would be epic
3:16
Tarantino: Laugh, Laugh, Laugh...
Tarantino: Stop Laughing
Everybody Laughs
One thing about Tarantino's violence is also that it's not "softening" the actual thing. When people are hurt they scream and suffer. That makes it also kind of realistic.
Philip Zahn it’s not realistic. It’s over the top, especially with the blood splutter and the way the body parts fly around. None of it is realistic. Blood doesn’t flow from wounds in the overly dramatic way it does in Quentin Tarantino‘s movies
Of course, if they were no selling themselves getting killed then they wouldn’t be good actors. But he does know when to use over the top gore and when to be more realistic. Like in Django unchained
@@lorrie9462 sometimes if you exaggerate violence it actually feels more realistic. It reflects how terrible it would feel or look if you were experienced the same thing for yourself.
1: It’s rated R.
The golden rule!
I bet most of them were NC 17 but was told to "tone it down"
The day he makes a pg13 movie is the day cinema days...
@@felixvsevil8783 the day cinema "days"?
Tarantino films will forever be idolised by film enthusiasts
If you say so. Of his 8 films that I have seen so far, I like 2 of them. And no, Pulp Fiction isn't one of them.
@@RansomeStoddard So clearly not all by enthusiasts, but at least by some.
@@RansomeStoddard Which ones did you like?
@@RansomeStoddard Well your edgy
@@scotland2256 I just wish I was as edgy as Tarantino, and was able to use the "F" word in every other sentence. Pure genius.
Tarantino did say he will retire after a certain amount of movies, but he also stated that it was meant as a mental tactic to force him to do well.
Like the old saying goes: good artists copy, great artists steal.
Another view is a great artist draws inspiration from others. Hacks copy and steal. Tomato/tomahto.
@@bighuge1060 Too true. 😊
Tarantino copies and he isn’t a good artist. Watch his his films with better criteria and you will discover that he is overrated...
Tomy Jones I share that same unpopular opinion.
Like another old saying goes: if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
His movies generally have a simple plot but the intrigue is in the characters and very good dialogue. The violence and the action is short and to the point but the build up and the tension is what makes it so captivating. That's my take on his movies anyway...
completely agree. He really puts you in the shoes of his characters and it allows you to feel the tension. His buildups make his movies perfect.
You know what Hitchcock said about the bomb under the table? I feel like Tarentino took that advice to heart better than anyone else. Like you said, creating tension.
Tarantino's seemingly random dialogue often has an underlying purpose in the story. For example, when Vincent & Jules seem to be only casually talking about foot massages, it actually sets up the danger that Marsellus is the very jealous type. Hence, the date w/ Mia has tension built underneath their conversations such as finding someone special. Eventually culminating in the incident w/ the drugs.
You remember the dialogue,In the fifth my ass goes down in pulp fiction.I laugh every time I watch it.. It was so serious and funny at the same time..
9:55 There's no suggestion. He embraces his kinks to an almost nauseating degree... which is something I think he actually shares with Hitchcock.
And Harvey Weinstein
I don't know much about Hitchcock. What was his kink with women?
IamBrix mentally abusing and humiliating them.
He loves feet and his display of that probably encouraged many in his audience to also associate feet with eroticism.
@@duetforherbivores And actors too. I heard a story a long time ago but can't remember it. All I remember is that it was really sick.
You know you’re watching a Quentin Tarantino film if the dialogue is freaking captivating.
What got me really hooked with Kill Bill are the characters and the dialogue. Uma's narration gave me chills and the dialogues sounded like they were written straight out a novel.
you know it’s quentin Tarantino if there’s feet
He stole the bare feet thing from the first Die Hard movie.
I was gonna comment this and you just, steal it 4 months before I commented it
now i noticed it may not even be his fetishe, but just because all movies avoid showing feet if they are not relevant to the scene, he then focus on the feet to say "look at this fucking feet old school cineasts"
+Prolapsed Power
this is actually funny
- Voice-over narration
- Chapter title screens
- Excessive amounts of feet
- Excessive amounts of cursing
- Excessive amounts of violence
- Incredibly long conversations
- Mixed order
I'll never forget his greatest role... the blind preacher in Little Nicky
ECL28E WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!
Young Elvis on 'The Golden Girls'
Damn right! Haha Little Nicky definately not as bad as people say
Also his weird cameo in an episode of Jimmy Neutron
Career criminals and dialogue are the big ones for me. But yea. You know it's a Tarantino movie if all the characters are too cool for school.
Yep. He is a brilliant director except for one terrible flaw: You like his characters but you don't really CARE about any of his characters that much. It's just entertainment. Nothing more; Nothing less. As an extreme example take a look at The Deer Hunter or Sophie's Choice. People are crying at the end. Or Platoon. The examples go on and on but QT doesn't make movies that make you care deeply. They are not serious films. They are, well, cool and that's about it. He will never get an Oscar. Not in this universe.
mitchell miller lmao but he did get an Oscar. A bunch of them to be correct.
@@MegaMkmiller He WILL get an Oscar!! And if he doesn't the world is a sadder place.
mitchell miller 😂😂😂🤣idiot he has 2
@Ron Maimon That's your (ahem) choice. But the Kill Bill movies were still pretty cool.
An interesting aspect to Tarintinos dialogue is its ability to subtlety build character in a comedic way that doesn’t feel ham-fisted. Vincents story about thel royal shows the irony of his life an career. He wears an nice suit while working only the have it splattered in blood due to its violent nature and must return to his boss wearing shorts and T-shirts. In the same vain, Vincent travels to Paris, a city of high culture, and ends up eating at macdonalds. His perceived class is juxtaposed with the violent and uncivilized nature of his life. Then we have Dr Schultz, who refuses to execute his target until he is given a positive identification on the man by Django. These couple lines show Schultz’s dedication and to his job and the planning that goes into it.
Edit: grammar and spelling
My favorite thing about his films is that it's 'wordy' point. Love the conversations some of the characters have. Makes the movie more genuine.
If Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 are one movie then he can make Vol. 3 and he will still be on his 9th film.
Wrong, that would be his 10th film. Nevertheless, kill bill 1+2 has to be seen as one movie. Its like that:
1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Jackie Brown
4. Kill Bill 1+2
5. Death Proof
6. Inglorious Basterds
7. Django Unchained
8. The Hateful 8
9. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
props to them for not spoiling killing bill by calling her "the bride"
The Vega Brothers would of been a really good movie
"...all the images of bare feet that suggest Tarantino *may* have some sort of foot fetish."
Yeah, and all the crucifixes, masses, and public prayers suggest the Pope *may* have some sort of religious beliefs.
He's like Robin Williams' disfigured twin after being imprisoned in the crawl space of a podiatrist's office for thirty years.
You know it’s a Tarantino film if:
It’s a blend of western with ____
Excessive use of the N word
It Looks like it was made in the 70s
It Is 3 hours long
It Has chapters
Lots of death gore carnage
It’s a big deal.
And suddenly a Rick Ross track starts playing in a 1900s western.
You forgot the feet
You know it's The Take IF...you get a much smarter and more in depth video than you were expecting
tarantino might be very polarizing, but he is without a doubt a great filmmaker and it'll be a sad day when he retires from making these pictures
He's made two great films (Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction).... the rest have had moments of greatness but overall are just terrible (and mostly boring) films.
rebelyell1983x yeah, incorrect. You must not like film.
@@rebelyell1983x how can you call django or inglorious basterds boring you crazy

I might literally cry when seeing his final movie in knowing that someone this unbelievably genius and one of a kind is done making films forever like who the fuck else is gonna fill Tarantino’s shoes?
...there’s an over abundance of N-Word usage, ultra-violence, 60’s & 70’s soundtrack, rambling dialogue, face closeups, and shots of women’s feet
Fuck them, whats the point of using “N-word” when everyone means nick/gherr
@@jozefkucera8402 you are so edgy and funny and did I mention edgy? haha! a true intellectual.
@sacr3d g6om9try dude, you clearly dont listen to rap, please dont judge people who make it or listen to it
7:16 The reason this dialogue works so well is because there's always conflict in it, no matter how small.
3:42 that's funny as a kid I watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 constantly
Yeah, 3rd grade I was rewatching kill bill but it was because I had a girl crush on Lucy Liu. I loved Japanese films like battle royale. He's right genre and real-life are separate and a child seeing simulated violence or mature storylines isn't bad. Just make it clear that it's fiction and obviously shouldn't be replicated.
Lucky
I remember the first time I watched Pulp Fiction. It was like "watching" a book- I loved it, it was so real. It was extremely spontaneous just like real like. This is the one attribute that I shall take from Mr. Tarantino. I think that is the reason why the amount of mundane dialog is acceptable in his movies: its a sweet set up for the unexpected twist that most of his stories have, they slide in and sneak up on you and you rarely see them coming. No one could ever honestly claim to know what will happen in his movies before it happened- no one and if they do, they are either a genius or a liar.
Can you do one on David Fincher?
There is one, i dont know if it is David Fincher related or a take on David Fincher himself...
I'd love to see that
Blue n orange
Outside of the feet, casual use of racial slurs and curse words, retro soundtracks, and obscure/forgotten references
Biggest thing is how often he breaks the "do not evers" for movie making. He'll have long exposition, long scenes of nothing. Meandering plots that seem to go absolutely nowhere until they do. Enormous buildup of tension, often with excessive violence.
I just recently realized how much I love this director
Paula González me too I loved once upon a time in Hollywood
Once Upon a Time was definitely a western, the 2 longest scenes of the movie were back to back, Rick’s role in the western movie where he played a cowboy style outlaw, followed by Cliff’s visit to Spahn Ranch, where he proved to be the real cowboy in my interpretation
Kind of lost me at "... MAY have some kind of foot fetish" when it's common knowledge that he does. Indeed, when Mary Elizabeth Winstead turned up to audition she deliberately went barefoot so she could get the role
lol
I thought that 'MAY' was a deliberate understatement, but I might be wrong.
omg i've never wanted to go home and watch all the Tarantino movies so much! Great video :)
The acting analysis was amazing, how did you guys see that? How did you guys gets so good with this stuff? What school did you guys go to? Harvard? Columbia? Yale?
Oh god yes!! Best video analysis channel + favourite director = awesome sunday
MY MAMA SHOWED ME KILLBILL AND IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES WITH HER
What I admire most about Quentin is his scripts, I don't know any other screenwriter as cool as him. Like Tim Roth said in an interview, "he has an specific music in his head". In addition, he has a good ear for the music, as a matter of fact, his best finding was to have chosen Morricone, who's passed away, for The hateful eight's soundtrack. As a result of it, Morricone won his first Oscar for best original score. I've always wondered, is it my idea or will Tarantino start to write novels after to quit the directing?
Quentin isn’t going anywhere. This is a deep passion for him. It’s like Van Gogh just stopping painting. He was writing scripts working and a video rental store. It’s something he’s always had in him and always will. Maybe he’ll try to write and sell scripts for others to direct and produce, but he would be so annoyed at how they “ruined” his work that he’ll continue.
QT is an artist behind that camera. Most his movies have memorable moments. His over the top violence works because he gives the actors such great dialogues. The only movie he made that looked like a straight to DVD was From dusk til dawn.
"Great artists steal, they don't do homages"
and thus, TV tropes
He's not steal, he's just sampling movies . Is like the Dr. DRE from filmmaking.
I love his work! I can imagine him not making 10th film for another 20 years, but screenwriting & producing until then

This is awesome! You guys should make an analysis on peaky blinders. It's super underrated.
Definitely one of the greatest men alive who happens to both make and star in movies he makes. What an incredible genius!
My god! Your videos are so interresting! Made me proud of being a fan of his work.
He's one of my favorite directors although occasionally I have to close my eyes during his trademark violence.
I've only given one lady a foot massage and it most certainly meant something!!
Perhaps the definitive Tarantino video essay. Bravo, ladies and gents! Extremely insightful.
Perfect vídeo, this Channel is one of a better things that i see in RUclips, congrats for your job, please do "You know it's this Miyazaki IF...", i'd be very happy !
You know it’s Quentin Tarantino if feet
Don't forget the Hatori Hansa sword (forgive my spelling) in the cabinet at Zed's pawn shop.
He’s such a cool guy.. so cultured.. smart and takes chances.. an American hero
we were all waiting for this video
it's finally here
Just a side note: From Dusk Til Dawn was directed by Robert Rodriguez, not by Quentin.
It was written by him tho
I know, but it’s considered “someone’s film” if they directed the movie. Of course everyone who’s a part of making a movie, particularly the writer, has influence on it. But again, whoever the director is, it’s considered under their name.
You know it's a Quentin Tarantino film if...it was once a low budget Asian film.
Looooove this channel you people are amazing!
Perfect video as always
He said once that he wanted kill bill 3, The epitome of his carrer, his own great "dollar trilogy"
You Know It's a Quentin Tarantino Film IF...FEET
Tarantino is just having fun in his movies and he just lets everything flow. when the flow stops he has formula to get things going again.
Always enjoyed watching the dialogues between characters in his films because they allowed us to even better understand and feel for them. Similar to real life, we see some of the characters in us and make us feel like there's someone out in the world like us. His use of music is also another element that made me enjoyed his work, like as if we shared similar music taste.
Tbh for me Tarantino films are biggest shitposts in world.This guy just plays with films to make something creative and full of cool references to other films.This is why i love im.
You forgot gratuitous use of the N-word. Tarantino is one of my three all time favorite directors, but the N-word is a staple of his films as well.
@jake scott that would be one of the first times.
@@jeremyjamesjohnsonjasonjan1688 No, it is because people expect the great dialog master to be able to get his point across without using the N word as a crutch. It is a vile word that is unnecessary. Oh, and what you meant to say was that people ARE too sensitive. Stay in school.
@@jeremyjamesjohnsonjasonjan1688 3 sentences is a "college essay"?
Wasn’t in reservoir dogs! I think it’s just in any film with Sam Jackson
JasmineSkyy It was in fact used in Reservoir Dogs twice, by two different characters. I’m not against his using it, just pointing it out.
Those conversations have so much subtext. They aren’t irrelevant to the story.
feet, tension filled dialogue, convoluted set up for a cathartic ending
One of my top 10 fav films. Ya know its QT If you see lots of feet.
the last one still going to be the Vietnam war movie ? I cant imagine a world without QT movies being made .
You know it;s a Quentin film when..
It doesn't pander to the critics he makes films for himself that I happen to love.
Great video! 👏👏👍
One of the most enjoyable qualities about his early films was how thieves and criminals talked about the most banal shit and he gave them a sense of humor. Most of the time you saw thieves in other films, they were complete low lives, over the top psychos, overly serious, or genius masterminds. In QT’s films, they’re talking about kind of boring topics but it’s enjoyable.
One of my favorite sequences in all of his films is the scene where Tim Roth is memorizing his phony story in Reservoir Dogs and how the scene progresses. That freshness and perspective still resonates. And that was on his first film. Super classic.
You know you're watching a Quentin Tarantino film if the leading actress gets strangled by him on camera and there's a scene with bare female feet.
My greets for you channel. Thank to make this video, It was very helpful Independent - filmmaker like me .
“Awe man I shot Marvin in the face.”
Iconic
Glad you did this one, I'm a huge Tarantino fan.
That said, I just got back from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and...uh...wow. I really need to hear your take on it, because I need to know if all the *suuuper* uncomfortable subtext was just me.
You know it's a Tarantino film if it begins with a gigantic conversation.
Great take!
My favourite type of The Take content. It goes just one step beyond auteur noting. They always take time to review.
Please do Lars Von Trier or Harmony Korine (sp?).
Blood, movie references and N-words.
Don't forget the feet
I think it'll be interesting that decades from now, what makes Tarantino film's so special will be lost to the zeitgeist, except for those that preserve it such as this video essay did.
Please continue this director series.
Once Upon a Time was even better the 2nd time around.
Agreed
I would like to to recommend for next episodes; Orson Welles, Kathryn Bigalow, Ang Lee, Andrei Tarkovski, Joaquim Trier(sorry if I butchered the name), David Fincher and Yorgos Lanthimos. Oh, and even Michael Bay for an April Fool's episode.
Nick Astyrakakis an April fools Micheal Bay video would be kind of hilarious. A 10 min deep dive on the meaning of the pyrotechnics in his film and how they reflect the fragility and passion of human nature. How the male gaze he shoots the women in his movies is a commentary on patriarchal expectations.
And then at the end it’s APRIL FOOLS.... he’s just an over-paid wanker!
@@ginao6810 Hell yeah. Or how the shaky camera work represents the instability of the current society and the use of shots from previous movies is meant to satirise the lack of originality in Hollywood 😂
Once upon a time is a love letter to violence in Hollywood and the friendship that grow out of it.
They forgot Fours Rooms
When you’re that good you can’t stop
