[@daxtonkennington4221]

From Dusk Till Dawn, he acted in it but didn’t direct it.

[@josefengelhardt2767]

Quentin Tarantino was influenced by filmmakers like Brian De Palma, John Carpenter and Pedro Almodovar.

[@samuraininjarockstar9355]

And Sergio Leone, Jean-luc Godard, Jean-pierre Melville & Abel Ferrara…..

He’s influenced by so many directors from Hitchcock to Don Siegal to lesser known exploitation directors and he’s pretty shameless in his appropriation. I remember when watching the movie Charley Varrick because I’m a big fan of Walter Matthau and out of nowhere, one of the criminals says a line that Tarantino nearly stole verbatim and used in Pulp Fiction. The original Taking of Pelham 123 features criminals taking a subway train hostage and they call each other by colors, which was something he used in Reservoir Dogs.
K Billy reminded me of the radio announcer in The Warriors and the radio DJ in Vanishing Point. There’s a nearly identical shot in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that was pretty much taken directly from Peter Bogdanovich’s “Targets”. Then there’s Alex Cox’s movie “Straight To Hell” which almost feels like a movie QT was influenced by, specifically in the attitude of the criminals and how they were dressed. There’s a shot in Kill Bill which loosely pays homage to The Vanishing (the original Dutch version). And many other references that have probably been compiled in a video showing his homages.
I think he reminds me most of Godard for his irreverent attitude. Godard was more of an intellectual than Tarantino, but they both embody the spirit of taking from anything and absorbing it into their own stylistic form of storytelling.

What about all the Asian movies he ript off?

There has never been an an artist worth their salt in the history of mankind that didn't take from elsewhere and make it their own.
Bad artists copy and don't even attempt to make it their own.
Tarantino falls in the former not the latter.

[@southlondon86]

@@agitatedmongoose So where did Nolan rip off inception from? Not arguing, I just genuinely want to know.

[@agitatedmongoose]

@@southlondon86 ask him. If you think that movie is original in any way you have some movie watching catching up to do. 😀
But it is not just about movie ideas that are copied. It is scenes, shots, everything.
But yes Nolan outright copied scenes, shots and ideas from Satoshi Kon's anime "Paprika".

[@southlondon86]

@@agitatedmongoose Then the matrix copied scenes from Total Recall. So does that mean it shouldn’t be held in high regard?

[@agitatedmongoose]

@@southlondon86 that's what I'm saying. Good artists copy but make it their own. Reread my original comment.
Nolan copied some scenes but made it his own through his own voice of shots and sequences.

[@Grandmastergav86]

Plagiarist on plagiarism ;)

[@creasefold1986]

🤣

[@hankworden3850]

That makes you a whiner on whining...

[@charisma7312]

Every artist copies. Some hide it some don’t. Get over it.
