- How to direct like Quentin Tarantino - directing style breakdown
Director genetics #2
Quentin Tarantino is one of the best directors and writers working today and because he carries at title.
I decided to do a breakdown of his directing style to work out what's good and what is bad so hopefully we can take what we learn and improve our own abilities.
With films like Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, DeathProof, the Hateful Eight
This one was a dooxy

I really wanna see ur channel grow dude these are awesome
I'm not in film school yet but I feel like these really get me into the mind set of some of my favorite directors
+POW! Haha me to man... hopefully the right people see it and share it.
The bar scene in inglorious bastards is 30 minutes long when I watched it it felt like 10 minutes at most
+vloggie300 same here. I think it's his best film. It is passed and cut so well
The overexposed images are not bad filmmaking, its an intentional choice of style!
MovieNerd_EP Went to the comment section just to say that. Especially in the case of Robert Richardson's work (in Kill Bill). It's one of his trademarks and I live it. It's also a favorite device of David Lynch.
Love it.
That's true.
Just because something is intentional doesn’t mean its good look at Batman v Superman Zach Snyder intentionally make dumb Superman equals Jesus symbolism
Rex Ruther this point has nothing to do with the statement they are making - the maker of this video was accusing Tarantino of out right being sloppy, or falling short as a film maker, using those examples as well as others to point to a (falsely) perceived deficiency in his film making ability. Though your statement [just because it’s deliberate doesn’t make it good] as a stand alone point- without any context- is inherently a true one. However, when applied to this conversation- the conversation above - it means little and less. See- the video maker was pointing out ‘flaws’ in his film making ability, specifically calling them sloppy oversights- except, that they were done deliberately as stylistic choices and so by definition, can neither be ‘sloppy’ or an ‘oversight’ - you may find that it falls short of your own tastes of what you consider to be ‘good’ - well, that is a whole other conversation. I’m not
Your issues are the things a fan of Tarantino love
Except the editing. But we know he is so focused on his story telling more
+BarelyMexican I'm a Quinton tarenteno fan.. He is in my top 10 directors..
@@TheFilmGuyOfficial Anyone can say that to defend their retarded points.
Exactly
@@theCISCOKIDshow his editing? It's the master mind edit that make his moves one of the greatest. The edit tells a lot about the story
TLDR; His homages (not "rip offs") are done on purpose to highlight what influenced him. Nor does he care about small film mistakes or continuity errors because his favourite films had them in spades. He gets off on making old-fashioned movies.
Tarantino purposely makes B-Movies and Genre Exploitation films, because those are the movies he loves, and are the opposite from what are being made today. These were small budget movies that really worked with what little they had. The films were scratchy and worn, with choppy editing, goofy musical cues, and dated visual styles. This has clearly influenced his disinterest in complete continuity and his love for imperfect film (over easily correctable digital).
As far as direct influences, it's not just his scenes and music he borrows from. The names of his movies are a homage, Inglourious Basterds (2009) borrows fromThe Inglorious Bastards (1978), as one example. The character of Hattori Hanzō from Kill Bill is the same character from the TV show Shadow Warriors (played by the same actor!). Hell, even his plots are homages, Kill Bill is an unabashed mashup of The Bride Wore Black and Lady Snowblood.
Aaron Fever not that I'm bashing but if Tarantino copies then it's a homage but if someone else's copy then it's plagiarism. Where does the line have been drawn on this
@ Aaron Fever
Well said!
What he does is homage because he does the exact opposite thing to what The Film Guy thinks he should do: "hiding it." If he tried to hide the fact that he is copying that scene, then he is clearly trying to be deceitful. Instead, he wants the audience to know where that scene comes from because he loves those films so much, he wants us to go watch the originals or at least appreciate them.
Tarantino doesn't want you to forget you're watching a film. He doesn't care if you are immersed in the world he created, his movies are a showcase for his love of film, period. It's the equivalent of people who show off their record collection, or their book collection, etc. It doesn't matter to him if you read the same books, it matters that you know what type of books he likes.
I don't wanna direct like Tarantino, although he's an inspiration. I wanna direct like myself:). I just came here for the comments.
same here :)
This guy says Tarantino's weakness is his use of music...
+Jim Bond actually what I said is one of his weaknesses is how he edits his scenes around music, not his use of music itself.
The Film Guy Right. "Use" of music would entail that.
The Film Guy we’ll have to agree to disagree
As a musician, and aspiring filmmaker, it is important to understand how key music is to film. I believe Tarantino actually does this better than most directors, because he lets the music drive the scene, instead of the other way around. A lot of great films owe a lot of there greatness to their soundtrack. (Star Wars, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and most recently Baby Driver) Its what makes people cry, or scares them, or gives them a laugh, but mostly, if done right, can bring people together, its another color, a director can use to paint his scene, and Tarantino does this splendidly.
💯
He doesn't "copy" other movies it's more a like homage to the films he likes
thank you
SoVersetile well said, OT is unique in his own right....😎
He's actually said that in an interview that he loves film so much that he loves using pieces of famous films and incorporate it into his work. Although loosely quoting him from the interview, he uses those scenes as a homage to great films and to any film lover, that should be a bonus. It's not like he's taking the idea but rather taking a scene he finds dearest and wants to pay tribute to what made the man he is today.
lol homage is the nice was of saying rip of in this case, well one could argue that.. but whatever ones view, homage or rip off, it is still using the style of others, so he has no style.. that is true of a homage as well, if you do a homage to a film you like, by shooting in that style, it's not your style is it?
then on to the man himself, aren't all his films shot in "homage" ? which would mean he just copies from other styles, old westerns and Japanese samurai films etc. saying he has a style, is like saying a person who makes a patchwork quilt can weave.
Homage, and copy, are not mutually exclusive in any way, in fact, to do a homage, you have to copy.
He doesnt copy he steal. good artist copy great artist steal
In Kill Bill they used black and white in the fight scene as blood censure. Original version is in colors
Mar B it works best when it's in black and white. It conveys this sort of panic the bride is experiencing, wherein during this mass killing section, she has seemingly become a killing machine with no emotion - where there's no color. Just black and white, life or death. It isn't until the color comes back, you get the close up of her eyes... there's an immediate reflection, a pain in her eyes. As if to say, "holy shit, what have I done?" However, her mission is to get to bill... so she powers through, transcending her character in the process. It lends beautifully to her arc.
I've seen the original in color, and honestly.... it just doesn't work as well. It's all very cartoonish and silly. I'm just dropping an opinion... you can disregard.
Mar B actually it's because they ran out of fake blood. It is NOT censure
That's right!!
To pull that he doesn't "have a basic understanding on how everything works" is an impossibly simple interpretation of what he was saying in that interview.
0:50 probably one of the best scenes in the film and I was so into it I had no idea it was 30 minutes long
Same haha, its an amazing scene
Respectfully, I would like to add that in the Kill Bull (v1) fight scene the songs change as the dynamics of the fight change. 1v100 down to 1v1 changes the dynamic, thus the music change. The music changes may happen a lot in the scene, but the dynamics of the fight change quite a bit.
I honestly don't mind his penchant for over exposing his shots. It's a signature style. The same applies for light placing in certain shots... his "god lights," if you will. This was especially present in Hateful Eight, where light was placed where it seemingly doesn't belong... and always as bright as a spotlight (Scorsese used to do this all the time, primarily in goodfellas and casino). It's all part of a style composition.... and it works. Blending with the intense and sometimes over the top dialogue and movement in a scene, it all feels just very.... dangerous? I love it!!!
Joey Clemenza yeah, definitely not an accident 😂😂
Now i'm not that big of a film geek but there are 3 big films that made me appreciate the artform in a whole new way. Pulp Fiction is one of them.
+Amplitude Maximum what are the other two?
Fight club and The Matrix
Those are three amazing films
I don't agree on the light exposure but great video!
I really love Quentin Tarantino, all of his Movies are so awesome and Great!!! The way how he does the Cinematography and Dialogues and Camera shots are so incredibly cool , Tarantino will still forever remain my most favorite Movie Director 🙌🏻🙌🏻🎬🎥🎬🎥🍿
Me too.
As a film nerd, these first two breakdown videos have been great! I can't wait to see where the series goes in the future.
I'm glad you like them :)..
One of my favorite aspects of Tarantino movies is the fact that he writes his scenes to fit with his music of choice.
If you’re gonna do more director style breakdowns for all major and even minor directors in cinema, then you’ve got a subscription. This is incredibly useful.
As a musician, I think the job of any artist who creates, is to take all of their references, inspiration, and influences, and blend them together to their own personal taste. To me, that’s how you achieve great results creating stuff. Trying to hide everything you’ve taken from other artists will block your creativity and vision. As artists all we are is everything we consume put together our own way. Tarantino is a master doing that.
I read the comments and I was really shocked by them. You opened my eyes. Before I saw your video I thought Tarantino was the best Director ever and his films were without errors. He is still my favorite Director but your criticism is eligible and totally appropriate! I actually liked it the most and hope you don't change because of these other comments
Editing of music is intentionally choppy. It's a tip of the hat to old 50's and 60's TV shows that had poor editing techniques. The continuity control is also an homage to 70s and 80s b-rated movies.
It's fair to call everything Tarantino does a tribute to cinema as a whole. He pulls from Hollywood to tell the stories he wants to tell and how he plays with the "What ifs"
Tarantino films are more commentary than cinematic technical marvels, the thing is, his tributes are so accurate that it turns out to be a masterful collection of directing.
What if the "Bullet Hole" scenes were not mistakes, but intentional.
Tarantino may well be paying homage to some of his favourite Movies that have these errors in certain scenes.
RedSon that's always the jist I've come away with. He is making movies he wants to see.
"he seems to rely too much on his team without knowing how to fix it"
hhahaha you're cute and naive.
Christopher Nolan and David Fincher would disagree with you.
the Fact that many scenes seem to be written following the music is something i really like about his style. Sometimes you just gotta have the maximum amount of coolness in a scene and turn to other directors for something else. I have to agree on the transitions though
Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies (like top 5). The opening still captivates me I find myself analyzing every single frame.
I love you, Tarantino.
The kill bill crazy 88 fight scene is one of the best things Tarantino ever did; it's what took that film from good to fucking amazing. If you checkout out the behind the scenes interviews, this scene is one of the most (if not the most) meticulously planned, organised, and executed scenes Tarantino has ever produced.
The thing about the continuity errors, is that they're not always errors. Some directors, like Martin Scorsese, use continuity errors on purpose as a means of making the movie more dreamlike or unreal.
Denis Villeneuve
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Great study on Tarantino. Love the guy. Subscribed!
I personally really like the way Tarantino homages scenes and shots. His films are so rich with such a huge variety of them. And I think it goes back to his days as the worlds most enthusiastic video rental store employee. Every film he makes is sort of taking an aesthetic and creating a collage of other films he's essentially recommending you watch. I think this is also part of why he's particularly a fan favorite of film buffs.
Though how I see all the random scenes in kill bill is to show the chaos in the scene the confusing the music
And it to me at least fits the movie in a movie feel he goes for in his more insane action movies
Everything bridges the impossible
The change in music
The insane art like blood all of it flowing together to make it one thing
Insane
I may be wrong and tell me if I am
+POW! I can see why you would think that possibly with kill bill vol 1.. surly he wouldn't be trying to do that with the majority of the movies.. Love your thoughts though :)
+The Film Guy yea not all his movies
You know how he has the movies inside movies(kill bill, django, inglorious bastards, and now the hateful eight) those are the once I tie in with this but for all I know it may be a flaw( though a small one) cause this does happen in all his movies
Not just the hyper movies in continuity
Yeah I get you.. its an Interesting theory dude :)
@@TheFilmGuyOfficial Tarantino uses a directing tool
that many directors work with, it is called juxtaposition, which you may apply to dialogue, music, blocking, lighting, editing or which ever you like when you want to create contrast in order to enhance the dynamics of the drama.
There is no formula to it, if it works it works ... May be you should re consider the affirmation you were giving in your video about the way the director makes his decisions to tell us the story.
It is totally fine that you dislike it but before you say that he is making it wrong , at least understand that the work he is displaying on screen works and he is intentionally doing it with a purpose . Perhaps, his purpose in cinema makes his directorial work worth the time you take when you sit your ass at the theater for two hours or more in front of a screen to enjoy his stories .
I love Tarantino so I usually wouldn't agree with any criticism of him. In this video though I agree with everything you said except about him ripping off films. Whether it's right or wrong, it creates a feeling I can't describe. It's almost like you can pick up on the references even if you haven't seen the original movies. Having a constant stream of tropes keeps you engaged I think, as the mind craves familiarity. This is even better when its subconscious.
all great artist steal from one another.... great job with lesson.... thank-you....
This is going to help me tremendously with my style of directing
This was great! you have to do Wes Anderson (the director with the most obvious personal, unique style IMO), Paul Thomas Anderson, Alfonso Cuaron, Coen Brothers, Alejandro G. Inarritu, David O. Russel, Terrence Malick, Zack Snyder, ok I'll stop.
Great video, I really look forward to seeing more of these.
+Pat Dwyer Haha they are all on my list :)
You have a great channel. Cant believe this video has only 188k
Quentin Tarantino is my absolute favourite director for precisely all the reasons you named, even the cons. His "copying" of other films, called homage, is supposed to be blatant. You're supposed to be able to immediately recall the scene that's being homaged when you see it homaged. Tarantino is not sloppy, even with those few errors. And over-exposure is intentional, as film is a much more detailed and reminiscent way to shoot film. His usage of all those techniques are exactly what make him the greatest modern director.
i feel like this guy understands film theory very well, but doesn't really get aesthetic and some of the more personable and subtle things that are involved in filmmaking
He uses that zoom-in on the frenchman just the way Coppola did on Pacino during the diner scene. Interesting similarity.
Great videos, I'm following your channel, I'm sure you'll have a lot of success.
Could you do a Genetic Director about the three Mexican directors (Cuaron, Del Toro and Iñarritu)?
+Zacek1 Hey man thanks for subscribing :) I have deltoro and Inarritu on my list. So they will come sooner than latter :)
I actually don't think the bullet holes behind Jules and Vincent were a mistake. My theory is that they were demonstrating how through divine intervention what had happened had to be rewritten, and for that to happen, the bullets had to already have passed into the wall when they weren't there to be shot, and when he does fire they could possibly be blanks ore something else. It's a stretch, but it's possible.
I think his homage/ripoff issue has as much to do with him wanting to brag about his film knowledge as anything else
I agree
Thank you for all the effort put into these videos TFG , I hope they are well received as I would love to see more. So many great directors all with very unique visual styles... Coens, Bird, Anderson, Fincher, Cuarón... list goes on and on. Also, would you ever consider a top 5 list of your favorite cinematographers? Cheers!
You are welcome Im so glad you liked it :) I think I will do one eventually when i have a busy week :) but Ill keep it in mind :) sorry for the late reply by the way
No wonder Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson often share movies - I just read a quote from Sam that he also prefers to perform in movies he'd like to watch.
Also, I can totally relate to Tarantino on the allusion thing. Maybe it's my age speaking - I grew up watching a ton of Dreamworks cartoon comedies which were riddled with references to previous works - but for whatever the reason, I do find I can be quite the allusion junkie.
After hearing the words you've said and the way you've narrated this video I (obviously) would love to see your work.
When you say it becomes more noticeable in recent films where it feels the scene is constructed around the soundtrack but transitions awkwardly, I think that largely has to do with the fact that Sally Menke, his main editor since Reservoir Dogs, died after Inglourious Basterds, so his films have since been feeling a little different
he should direct deadpool 2.
Brian Kent Pirrie no
Jay van Kasteren why not.
QT is way above the whole superhero bullshit.
Brian Kent Pirrie deadpool is not a good film, it's lowlife superhero trash
YULZOR it's better than xmen 3 (2006).
The Overexposing is mainly Bob Richardsons style. Hard backlight/soft bounce. And he got better with that as well. Just look at Casino and Kill Bill compared to Hateful Eight. I really like it. Makes it a bit "artificial", but then again: It's a movie, everything about it is artificial. They just embrace it.
All those points are valid, but can be forgiven because he's such a good storyteller. The points you raise are probably why he has missed out on technical Oscars like This year the Hateful Eight losing to the Revenant in Cinematography. He wasn't even nominated for best director. Subscribed.
+Mick Jones Hey Mick that's very true although I would say the Hateful Eight may be one of his weaker films. The revenant was shot amazingly and I am was Damm impressed the entire time watching it. And thanks for subbing. It all helps me make more great content. :)
gfound your channel last nite, loving the video
Brilliant analysis, delivered with great style! I subscribed. I hope you do an episode on P.T. Anderson. He had a similar flair to Tarantino, on display through Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and Punch Drunk Love. Then he makes a drastic change in time for There Will be Blood, and the movies he's made from then to now.
+The Sean Ward Show thanks mate. He is on my list
+The Film Guy That's exciting news!
An excellent video and spot on summary of QT. Interesting point about him not being able to transition music, unlike Scorseyse whose use of music is one of the best things about his movies. The scene towards the end of Goodfellas for example which seems like he is ram raiding his record collection but each track flows beautifully into the next one and compliments whats on screen
Very true.. Love this comment..
I am curious about the difference between ripping-off and borrowing/paying homage. I thought ripping-off means adding nothing to the original for it to be transformative.
+TheChaoscard paying homage is when you say that you took it from someplace else cause you liked it and ripping-off is when you say that you made it and that its original, or at least thats what i think other then that there is no difference
This is really great! I hope your channel grows bigger man! Thumbs up and subscribed!
Thanks man :)
Subbed before even watching. Glad I did.
Tarantino movies often make me feel painfully on edge. Many scenes exude so much intensity and suspense that I almost want to flee the theater.
overexposed images aren't mistakes. Martin Scorsese's masterpiece "Taxi Driver" was made underexposed and looks badass.
the blow out skies and windows is a style it is call english lighting, kubrick use it a lot...
Direct like QT. Have them sit around a table or centerpiece and talk. Some action. Another table. Some action. Rinse. Repeat. Role credits.
QT is masterful
I like your video and would like to see more. I’m finishing school for cinematography and had some expertise that might help you out in future.
Overexposure or blown out highlights are not necessary “bad” cinematography, with Tarantino I believe it’s a stylistic choice, this is double true of his work with Robert Richardson who’s been consistently blowing out highlights in pretty much every film he’s shot since the 80s regardless of the director. A lot of people in my cinematography department hate it, but it’s clearly intentional.
You talk about QT correcting for the limitations of shooting on film. I think you might have this backwards in regards to image quality.
The biggest limitations of film are expense, camera noise on set and lack of high quality instant playback, There’s also ‘some’ limitations on shooting at night, but in terms of the actual exposure of the image, film, particularly the current generation of Kodak stocks, have incredible latitude superior to digital particularly in highlights. It’s possible to correct a film image thats 4-5 stops overexposed and still find highlight detail. With digital you’re limited to 2, 2 1/2 stops overexposure before your whites become light grey and become nearly impossible to “fix”.
Digital also still has an incredible limitation on color information because the way most digital sensors work. Short version: there are fewer red and blue pixels then there are green ones. and all the pixels (regardless of color) are staggered across the frame.
so to lines of pixels on a dig sensor would look like this:
1.RGRGRG…
2.GBGBGB….
It actually takes two lines of pixels to get a full color reading. So if you look at the readout of each individual color, you’d see holes in the data and you’d see bigger holes in the red and blue readouts. These holes are then filled in by algorithms which ‘guess’ what should be there. Often they do a great job, sometimes they don’t, creating artifacts. Film doesn’t have this limitation because the dyes that create color are stacked and evenly cover the entire frame. There are no holes in the color record of film which is why film has an incredible capacity to realistically capture subtle color variations.
+Loren Greenblatt hey man thanks for the comment :-) when I said the limitations of shooting on a film I mainly was referring to not truly being able to see what your shooting until you process it.
How to direct like James Cameron?
6:44 This is the most interesting part. I would love to see more of this with a complete breakdown of every shot and the movie it was taken from.
David Fincher next!!
I think your attempt to find 'flaws' in Tarantino's movie is motivated more by you wanting to portray yourself as being exceptionally discerning. As others have said in the comments, these arent flaws at all, but artistic choices of Tarantino
Great stuff! Well balanced between accessibility and detail, and slickly edited. My advice would be to work a little on your delivery to develop a more natural speaking tone (not that I know how you would actually do that!)
I really like these. Could you do Steven Spielberg?
+countvoncount13 Oh Dude.. thats would be a big Mission haha umm Eventually I will haha maybe
+The Film Guy Great mini dissection of Quentin Tarantino as a director. Didn't agree with everything (your thoughts on him "ripping off" to be exact) but you keep it objective throughout and i love that. Looking forward to more of these. Hope David Fincher is on your list :) Great stuff, man
+The Film Guy do tim burton, its easy: 1) cheesy decorations 2)exaggerated costumes 3)JOHNNY DEPP!!!!
I just watched the first Kill Bill. I absolutely loved the style and choppy editing. Bye I am now going to go watch all his other films now.
looking forward for more of these! i would love to see one with David Fincher!
Keept the good work!.This channel has potential
Subscribed man, as a young filmmaker these videos are helpful
+Red Noir Films super glad man :)
how to direct like David Cronemberg???? J Carpenter ? or Iñarritu ? please
can you do how to direct like Guy Ritchie?
Yes I think is is about 3 away :)
the god's eye shot is not only that, but an unnatural, unconventional perspective. It's not about something being watched by god.
Jcas it's just an expression.... there's no relation to actual religion.
Essentially, it just means the characters are being observed by the audience. An omniscient perspective... like a third person narrative in literature.
Joey Clemenza that makes more sense, thanks.
Jcas could be both
Great video. Big fan of QT. Enjoyed listening to your positive as well as your crits.
+Joseph Stephen thanks Joe, I am too. Every director has positives and negatives we can learn from even the amazing ones haha
Great video. Can you do one on Clint Eastwood? That might be pretty tricky as he really doesn't have much technique or style when it comes to directing and more or less just points a camera at actors without much thought or planning prior hand. It might be a good way to teach people how good movies don't always come from the director.
+Alan Smithee Ill be looking in to it :)
Excellent and critical video!
He doesn't copy other movies, he steals them, and this is the exact reason why he is an amazing director.
Excellent. Your videos + my insomnia = Entertaining education.
+Clark Kents Rock and Roll Revue haha I'm glad man :)
Well shit I didn't think your video would inspire me as much as it did, your research or time and effort put into this was super generous to me, thank you for the motivation man! I'm suscribed
Interested to see what films you put out.
You forgot about the kill bill animated fight scene..it was inspired from indian movie AALAVANDHAN..
Even though he has technically only directed 3 films, id like to see Damien Chazelle.
+Nickatopia I will have to wait. But eventually I will
most of the continuity errors he has actually done in purpose like the bullet holes in the wall in pulp
This was really good. You could get popular if you could put content like this out weekly bro. I know its hard work though. Best of luck. I look forward to the next on in the series.
The breakdowns take to much time to do weekly. I write/research them while doing my other videos...
Yeah I can imagine. How many hours do you think it took in total.
Awesome video man ! Good work ! I uploaded some supercuts of Tarantino POV and zoom and my channel !
really love your work !
Thats cool man.. And thanks :)
great breakdown!
Did this dude just say, advice from Terry Gilliam is the 'worst' advice someone could have taken???
Are you gonna make anymore of these? There's only three so far. I hope other viewer comments haven't discouraged you guys from making these.
yes I am. :) but its just me and it takes time haha
+The Film Guy Great! Can't wait for the next episode!
First off, thanks so much for making these videos! Your analysis is incredibly thoughtful and the editing is tight AF.
I think your point about the music was especially good. The music in Django really took me out of it. But your observation about Kill Bill was even more interesting. I've always loved that scene and still do, but you're right. It's sloppy. I think what saves it, is the excellent (and appropriate) use of 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'. This particular song works so well that I've always overlooked any weird parts (like the silhouette).
As far as his overall philosophy about using music for inspiration--I wouldn't call it a weakness exactly, but a process or philosophy that can sometimes be taken too far.
I'm mixed on how I feel on the continuity stuff. On one hand--yes, you're right, there are some glaring fuckups. That said, I've watched all his movies multiple times and never noticed a single one. Maybe that speaks more to me as a viewer. But I'd bet that 99% of people wouldn't either. So I guess what I'm saying is, you're correct that he's sloppy in that regard but I'm not sure it matters.
Anyway, just my nit-picks.
Again, these videos are awesome! Everyone that I've watched has been really informative and entertaining and I hope you keep on doing your thing.
+Ilan Erez thanks for the comment, completely agree.. Tarantino's biggest weakness is his cutting. He's not good and getting ride of things And we often see him go a bit far in that.
Make one about steven spielberg..martin scorsese...and stanley kubrik
Tarantino is a good film maker. What I love about his movies the way the characters relate to one another
The Film Guy you are good with the creation of this Serie.
Please can you make a "how to direct like" about Terrence Malick??
he directed 8 wrote 7 Jackie brown was adapted from a book
yes but the general content was adapted, he even states that this didn't feel like his movie and he wouldn't adapt another book again
+Jordan Griffin I think the right word is adapted
+MLOOPERDOOP I'm talking about written and directed by Quinton Tarantino he didn't direct any of those films you mentioned
+MLOOPERDOOP if you listen to his interviews he himself has said he has eight films, he doesn't count the other ones cause they weren't his original idea, therfore he has eight films including the one he adapted. also don't respond this will just keep going on and on
So did Stanley Kubrick not write A Clockwork Orange or The Shining according to your definition?
this narrator is like a teacher
Would love to see you do one of Chris Nolan!
Gotta say, after 10 years in the industry and being a director myself, I disagree a bit with your assessment of things. I think your scope of his films really only outlined the cinematography of his his movies from a semi-creative but mostly technical perspective. This does not constitute the entirety of what it means to direct something or direct like someone. The advice Quentin got was one of the best pieces of advice a director can be given. It is not their job to put their vision on the screen themselves. Think about the job title “Director.” You direct all the other departments in what to accomplish not how to accomplish it. The “How” comes from the specific experts in their field such as the DP, the production designer, etc. The director overlooks the entirety of the project and makes sure it’s headed in the right... direction.
i really wish you had a playlist of these we could watch. I'm subscribing for more but for a recommendation id like to request to add playlist to your channel. it help it look more organized and helps us navigate it better. and for the next one can you do Martin Scorsese I really like this series ad hope to binge off of it. just so I can know the flaws for my favorite directors and not imitate them.oh! and also do David Fincher!
+Jordan Lee I'll be doing g that soon. And to those directors they won't be next bit they are on my list.. :)
Thanks for the update! amazing idea for a channel.
I love Tarantino.
But sometimes it feels like Tarantino fans are really Michael Bay fans who don't want to be judged by film buffs... so they become Tarantino fans so they can watch "cool" movies that are still artistic enough to be considered good.
If that makes any sense.
