Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
People who 'are' commenting here that Clint didn't like Pulp fiction just don't know about the guy's personality. When Eastwood praises a film he doesn't drool over it on camera lol. I think he liked it fine.
When we were kids we would go to the pictures. I thought it was a British thing because Americans called them movie theatres. I guess we were just slow to copy them [in those days].
It's funny how he has this tough guy persona but he's always so kind and thoughtful in his interviews. That's an actor you can respect as a person as well as an artist.
@@i..9339 it is violent. It is edgy. It is a movie. It is a narrative that plays with time and focuses on dialogue. All things, subjects, approaches Eastwood has either starred in or directed. So, Um, there you go.
I actually find that Pulp Fiction contains a lot of subtly western elements. QT has also said publicly that TGTBATU is his favorite film of all time, though he has other films that show its influence more explicitly.
I disagree. 'Paint Dry' is deliberately paced but yields rewards for those attentive enough to appreciate its subtleties, especially after repeated viewings.
I've gotta say, I was fairly impressed with your work on "Grass Grow", and I thought your commentary on suburban society was quite genius. It's a bit long, but if it isn't profound, I don't know what is.
People like this man are forever young at heart, always willing to be amazed and surprised by something new. People like him are always curious and never bored. Their humility is an utterly redeeming grace.
Chris Warner no it wasn't one of the best it was THE BEST I mean come on the lion king, pulp fiction, Forrest Gump, the shawshank redemption definitely the best movie year ever
@@saintsrowandmasseffect4lif825 funny you mention forrest gump and shawshank redemption because those were two of the worst from that year. 1994 was an incredible year because Satantango, which is easily the best film ever made, came out, along with Vive L'Amour (another masterpiece), Three Colours: Red, Three Colours: White, Chungking Express, Through The Olive Trees, To Live, and A Confucian Confusion. I don't mean this in an insulting way, but please watch more films, and especially more films from other countries and stop watching whatever shit the IMDB top 250 tells you to.
@@cometcourse381 Man I bow down to you! Most people think Hollywood is all there is to film, but it isn't, many countries produce fantastic movies every year. Many of my favorites come from Iran, and I am glad you mentioned "Through the olive trees", its an absolute gem. Satanango really is one of the best movies ever made, and Three Colours White too. To Live, A Confucian Confusion are on my to watch list. And the best part... most of them are on youtube!
@@deus3953 What makes you say that? This guy just listed the most amazing 1994 movies for you to watch and you say he has "shit" taste. Watching American movies all your life makes them seem fairly homogenized, and watching foreign films has the element of wonder, things are new and you are curious, and when you return to American films you see them from a whole new angle. Can you tell me why any of the films he listed, even one, is "shit" for you??
The film that the French crowd would have been disappointed didn't win is probably "Three Colours: Red" - Krzysztof Kieslowski's final entry in his acclaimed trilogy about French society, which he had also announced would be his final film.
And when Tarantino accepted his award at Cannes he said (at a press conference there) that Kieslowski's "Three Colors: Red' was the best picture he had seen at Cannes that year and deserved the award. Tarantino was right although Pulp Fiction was a very worthy runner-up. Also, Tarantino wrote the part of Bruce Willis' wife (in Pulp Fiction) for Irene Jacob because he loved her in Kieslowski's "The Double Life of Veronique." She turned him down for that part because she was already committed to "Three Colors: Red."
+Mooseman327 when did he say that? Is there re video about it ? I didn't hear anything about it when he accept palme d'or. Maybe it's because of my bad English.
Red was entertaining but nothing special. None of the actors did anywhere near their best work. Willis probably had the best performance. They should have had Helen Mirren handle that rifle a while. Her sighting the rifle and generally handling it was very amateurish - very distracting (she was supposed to be an assassin with firearms). Cannot use the excuse that her bosoms got in the way. Not up in here! Not up in here!! John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman were not very convincing either - like they just walked onto the set. Poor Ernest Borgnine was okay. The other female lead - Mary-Louise Parker - Willis' love interest was okay.
I know it might not be that popular to say, but retirement isn't that healthy for people. If people retire, they should however find comfort in things to do, but not fall in a big hole.
Clint always tells it like it is! Droll and real as always. Although whenever one describes something as 'interesting' it's never a ringing endorsement 😁
personally when i call something interesting i mean it is actually interesting, which means it is not only good or worthy of attention but it is something different which is a nice change of pace and creative.
Great man, great, balanced thoughtful opinions. His work will stand the test of time because what is in most of his movies isn't always obvious and always resonates with real humanity.
He described it as "exiting" look how excited he was. That was the 90s and that was Clint people used to be cool everyone is like an overdramatic spazz now and think it weird if you are not.
I saw an interview with someone talking about Clint's directing style. Clint doesn't yell "ACTION!!!" to start a scene. He just says, "Okay, go ahead." Clint doesn't yell "CUT!!!" at the end of a scene... he just says, "Okay, that's enough of that."
"To tell you the truth I've kind of lost track with all these films showing. But being that this is the Cannes Film Festival, the most prestigious film festival in the world, you've got to ask yourself one question."
It’s always a thrill when you watch a movie, or read a book that you know nothing about beforehand, and it floors you. The first time I remember this happening (aside from Bambi when I was very young) was Five Easy Pieces. I was transported. Totally engrossed to the point of forgetting where I was and how much time passed. It just washed over me. That doesn’t happen often but when it does it’s worth all the bad movies I’ve sat through.
"It’s always a thrill when you watch a movie, or read a book that you know nothing about beforehand, and it floors you." Like me, seeing "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" back in 1968 !!!!
Haven't had that experience in a while but the last time I remember watching a film I knew nothing about that kind of amazed me was: Thunder Road (Jim Cummings) and Parasite (Bong Joon-ho) Goodfellas (Martin Scorsese) I haven't seen "five easy pieces" but I'll definitely give it a try !
@@annaclarafenyo8185 Just thought of a couple more Braveheart and dances with wolves! But I know what you mean usually the best movie never wins! Oscars are a joke!!
@@Jorge_Jones Well, Quinton never want anyone to know what’s inside the briefcase and wants you to figure it out. I’m 99% sure that that’s what he was imagining inside the briefcase was an Oscar for the film that he was making. So let’s hear it…. What do you think is in the briefcase?
It doesn't surprise me, though it surprised Clint, that it was the Europeans on the panel who immediately realised it was the best picture of that year. Europe really dug (still digs) Pulp Fiction, all the years I lived there, as the best of American pastiche, blended into something entirely new at the time. Plus European film goers have always savoured great dialogue in a film, which is what QT usually gives you, especially in his early films.
Fascinating to listen to a legend talk about seeing someone else’s legendary cult film before it was a thing and introduced to the entire world. As a HUGE fan of Reservoir Dogs on vhs, I saw Pulp Fiction in a matinee on opening day in a now-closed shopping mall movie theater.
I also saw this movie at a strip mall theater where the tickets were $5 and included drink and popcorn. It certainly felt like the appropriate way to watch short of a drive-in!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="65">1:05</a> PULP FICTION - Quentin Tarantino. “It drew everybody in. It’s definitely interesting and it was exciting and it came at a time that we needed a little excitement. It was refreshing and everybody started to talk about it.”
I just watched Jackie Brown for the first time since I saw it in theaters. It's no Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs but it is a solid effort and well worth renting. Samuel Jackson has a great performance as does the whole cast. And as always in QT movies, the soundtrack is fantastic.
yes for me i go back to this film more than the others as it has a bit more romance in it... if you get me... its a bit like I the ritchie/vaughn films... my fave now is layer cake which wasnt as big as the previous films
@@WhatHaveIMade neither are the finale of their respective films. Also, character motivations are completely different. Reservoir Dogs is pure sadism, while Perfect World is Costner’s character dealing with past trauma in the worst way. I can see where you’re coming from, but I think it’s a bit of a stretch.
I felt the same way about Pulp Fiction. I saw it opening day at an indy theater in Santa Cruz. Didn't know anything about Tarantino at the time, but knew when I saw Travolta put a hypodermic needle in Uma Thurman's chest I was watching the kind of movie you'll remember for a long time.
I appreciate your love of the film,,,but please open your mind to other opinions. www.newstatesman.com/culture/2014/10/twenty-years-it-s-time-admit-pulp-fiction-bad-film
pulp fiction is amazing, but Palme d'Or should have gone to Kieslowski's last instalment of his Three Colors trilogy, "Red". this movie blew blew me away in a way I thought only Bergman could do.
I like JB, it's one of QTs films I go back to more than any other, it wasnt as iconic as PF or RD but it was a good film with some great actors doing great acting in it.
It's interesting what he says about avoiding people's opinions though, I've always thought that too, like, if I research a movie beforehand and see the ratings are really high, I feel like it has a bearing on the score I give it. Not all of the time though.. I'd love to do a test where you get 100 people to watch a movie which is rated really high, and you tell them how high its rated and record their ratings afterwards. Then get another 100 people but this time, tell them its a badly rated film, and see if that changes their scores
ReddFoxx1562 - as one of the great film makers of all time with his share of gratuitous violence, so it seemed, I was interested in his opinion in the new generation of film makers, specifically about writer/director Quinten Tarantino.
