Directors Who Influenced Quentin Tarantino 

Ha, that's awesome!

quentin doesn't need cocaine, he IS cocaine

😂 his brain when talking about movies moves like an F1 car, smoke coming of his hair how fast he's talking.

​@@Smokey2Mchope hes not doing cocaine at his age. After like age 45 you can easily drop dead from coke, Quentin is 60 now right?

@@vicvega3614 I just turned 45 in January thanks for the advice 😂

No brain and no talent

So does my pet salamander.

And water and earth

Heheh I guarantee the 3 likes this got were from people who took this literally 😂 Well, 4 likes now, because I liked it too but that's because I actually got the sarcasm 😂

Yes, the sarcasm was deeply-buried!

The sarcasm lmao. Quentin is a complete spazz when it comes to films. Genuine passion but he can get overboard real quick lol

@@little.bear344 I don't think there's a person on the planet who would read the OP's post and NOT detect the very obvious sarcasm. I'm not sure you should be as smug about this matter as you have been thus far.

​@@little.bear344 This must be a troll account right? There's no way you thought detecting sarcasm in this was in any way an esoteric deduction.

Far too loud too

Rofl😂😂

*P A S S I O N*

Also *C O C A I N E*

Especially DePalma.

@@kennethrussell1158 In my opinion, DePalma uses his influences as starting points, and creates from them, his own dynamic style, whereas Tarantino is just regurgitating and appropriating reference points.

He said he grew out of Godard a long time ago tough. It's more in his earlier movies. He has never as far as i know mentioned Bogdanovich but if you have a qoute i'm all ears.

@@NostalgiNorden He's a huge fan of They All Laughed and has praised AND knew Bogdanovich. He even (surprise) references They All Laughed in Pulp Fiction with the female taxi driver, who is a nod to Patti Hansen's character in that film.

Sergio Leone could also fit on that list. Once Upon a Time in the West references so many other westerns.

By and large, I don't go for comedy (unless it's really dark), but Bringing Up Baby is magnificent.

That only makes you good film critic. You need something more.

But does he have a distinct voice of his own with unique insight? I'd argue, there were definite hallmarks of his work at the start of his career but these have diluted over the years . Not enjoyed his work for a long time.

@@Grandmastergav86 alright tell me, whats the last tarantino movie that u actually liked?

Except he failed to mention that Reservoir Dogs is a total and complete rip off of Ringo Lam’s City on Fire (1987)

@@whysohappy6386 Inglorious was great. Django and Hateful Eight was trash. Like he was imitating himself... in a bad way. Totally lost my respect after that.

@@JFLOProductions i didn't know that, thanks for the information.

Sounds like new age, atmospheric, genre

How can you be a fan of the apprentice and not the master ( Hitchcock)

Casualties of War is one of the finest works of all time, and Michael J. Fox turned in an outstanding performance.

Almost all? Italian and French directors make up less than half the list. The rest are American.

He definitely got a thing for Japanese and German cinema as well.

Hi Chets. Glad you enjoyed. Are you familiar with all the filmmakers QT mentions in the video? If so, who's your favourite?

@@cinedome1 i am not. I’ll be watching more films soon. But favorite is Kubrick, Nolan & PTA

Yeah, I don't actually remember hearing him talk much about either of those filmmakers before. Would be interesting to get his take.

Also Elia Kazan

Kurosawa is so deeply woven into cinema that saying he influenced cinema is like saying how the British empire affected language.

I could be wrong but I would say he respects Kubrick's work a lot but find it too pretentious

He doesn’t really take much from them though

Casablanca was directed by Michael Curtiz. Anyway, he didn’t say they’re the best ever, but the ones who influenced him most.

Hey, sorry for my very delayed response. It's Long Distance by Luke Atencio.

@@cinedome1 thanks man

You forgot to add a couple of condescending and patronising "all rights", like Tarantino.

@@nr655321 De Palma is one of his favourite movies, tf you talking about?

@@nr655321 I’ll do it next time, alright?

@@nr655321 That's because storing dead ducking riggers isn't my ducking business, that's why!!

@@sealife12 Huh? Where did I say that?

But he's made the *same* movie several times just with different settings. He might have been more ambitious and attempted a greater variety of stories.

@@Hexon66 And perhaps try to give the characters you've created a different "voice" and not have them speak in essentially the same way

@@Hexon66 All movies are the same story. Who am I? What is free will?

Tarantino's greatest crime is that he made Max Cherry let Jackie Brown get away...

Yet Scorcese has made the same movie multiple times, his movies are a hit or miss & he hasn't made a phenomenal movie in years.

@@cinedome1 Thank you very much. Did you add the music to this? Because no offence, but that was just... awful. It's a film maker talking about film makers, not the Second Coming of Christ. Just the clip and some visuals would have been perfect.

@@ryans756 I did add the music, yeah. I like it.

@@cinedome1 Yeah I was looking down the comments. Others seem to like it too. Tsk. Well good luck to you :)

@@ryans756 Thanks man.

Haha yea

I think Quentin is butthurt about something Scorsese said about him back in the day.

@@lancehenriksen8728 what did scorsese say?

@@pjom4191 I don't remember but he was slightly dismissive and Tarantino's praise for him suddenly dried up.

he should co write it

Thanks man. The song is Long Distance by Luke Atencio.

@@cinedome1 subbed

#UnintentionalASRM

He don't even like him too much

But that doesn't mean he didn't influenced him.

Well Howard Hawks is the king of Dialog. Watch His Girl Friday and Bringin up Baby and so many others how to get that ton of dialog out in a fantastic way AND keeping your movie under 3 and half hours. Happy Quentin knows movie history, but it's not like he bettered his idols yet.

@@palmereldritch7777 Great answer. Although, I believe he's bettered his peers.

@@FatNorthernBigot I think it really depends on which part of the movie, which elements you focus on. He certainly made a couple of great movies, on the other hand i think he made some overlong, totally overindulgent messes. For me some of that worked, but a lot didn't or didn't congeal in the right way. Pulp fiction, jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs i like. The style fits with the story, the acting /characters work. Kill Bill became an overlong "hommage" valentine, same with the Grindhouse Double bill. Inglorious bastard and his Django had way too much Christopher Waltz and other pontificating characters that just held up the story. Hateful eight (which could have been a nice tight story ala Reservori dogs or more appropriate Bava's Rabid Dogs, just became an unending slosh of dialogue. And not even all of it that entertaining, actors stuck in a story that just has no rhythm. Hollywood - i get it, but the basic idea / twist.....it just doesn't go anywhere and has little value. it becomes more of Wontonton the dog that saved Hollywood and less Sunset Boulevard. There's a lot of technique, but not a whole lot of it is something i would call Tarantino. A lot of it is (overtly) borrowed from a glut of b-movie classics. Worthwhile to use , yes, but bettering the originals.....mwaaah. If i want to see women kick ass with swords and snow and 100 opponents, i'll go to the originals that were made 20 years or more earlier. On a budget. Great soundtracks, but in the end they're pop art collages, not original scores. Didn't help that The hateful Eight had an okay morricone score (but by far not his best, because....hell there was nothing Morricone could score too. It took half an hour before the coach arrived at the shack. The mission is NOT the greatest movie, or even Mission to mars, but boy THOSE scores are great. And original.

I would say Tarantino was influenced quite heavily by Elmore Leonard. His best film Jackie Brown was Adapted from Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard.

@@t.brogers8956 Maybe he could do a good Jim Thompson.

Would disagree about Death proof, while it may be his weakest movie. That's still a really fun movie, some of the coolest action scenes. It's like a John carpenter movie with a bigger budget

@@mattetheridge8459 Death Proof is actually awesome! The whole Grindhouse experience was really

Taratino movies are the first time I began paying attention to what American characters are saying in a movie. Before that, you didn't go see any American films expecting anyone to saying anything important. You go to foriegn film for that.

long distance by luke atencio

@@cinedome1 Thank you!

haha can't go wrong with a marty cameo mate

I think Tarantino underplays Marty's influence over him.

Tarantino's movies are highly stylized and live from the aesthetic as much as from the dialogues (it's 50/50 really) so saying that they're all in fact dialogue-driven is a bit of a miss. The Hateful 8 is probably the only fully dialogue-driven movie of his and it's also the most boring one. Make of that what you will

​@@memoriavetusta3908 Both Death Proof and Jackie Brown were more boring imo

@@rockinresurrection6542 Well I kinda agree with you on Death Proof. Jackie Brown is a pretty interesting movie in the way it takes Foxy Brown and it's political call for collective action, and transports it into a neo-liberal hellhole in which there's only the individual, and consumption's all that's left. I also think that it's a lot more aesthetically pleasing than The Hateful 8.

Those are great directors, but they are all very big, famous, manly blockbuster-genre types - and I can assure you their influences are much more varied and broad than yours. You need to widen your horizons my man.

@@DaCarnival to be honest those are directors I would like to take best piece of each and do a movie. I dont think they are blockbusters type? How many blockbusters David Lynch have? Dune? Or Elephant Man? Maybe Alvin Straight is kinda "blockbuster"? I dont know. None of these movies are mainstream type of the movies to attract masses (except Dune). Milos Forman also is not like blockbuster type. On top of that I prefer their early pieces when they did not have budget. Reservoir Dogs, Eraserhead. In Kubrick movies I like mostly art design - floor patterns, interior designs, composition of the scenes etc. Anyway, recommend me something I don't know. I am really curious what you have to say. Some obscure Italian/French directors? Fellini? Gaspar Noe? Winding Refn? (Last one I would actually put to my inspirations, I absolutely love Pusher trilogy and work with third person view camera there).

Bay😂

@@chriswright4677 his videoclip style camera with sunets, helicopters and other camera decisions from mid 90s are very inspirational

@@DaCarnival i also forgot to include Karel Zeman. Also one of them blockbuster guys you definitely know 😁

Spielberg also made American Graffiti.

@@jackgallagher4523 You're right. All these years I thought Spielberg made it. I'm going to have to delete my comment.

He doesn't like Ford, he said a million of times he prefer Hawks over Ford any day of the week.

Your comment makes no sense. It seems you just randomly picked a bunch of people you like. Because guess what? At any given time in history, anyone could make a list of great people and say "Isn't it great they're alive and doing stuff?" We are ALWAYS living in a time when we should be grateful of the creative, inspiring people. It's not something unique to today.

@@28Pluto Yes they could, but they don't very often. That's kind of my point! I think the fact that great people live throughout time is obvious to everyone. We often only truly appreciate that, though, after they have died.

The 2000's and afterwards will NOT be considered a Golden Age of anything. The 1980s were the last Golden of Film, Music, Dance, Art and all of it declined to shit by the late 1990s.

I totally agree, it seems like storytelling has always been his Achiles's heel I think the only film of his that doesn't share this flaw is Carlito's Way, which in my opinion is his best work to date PD: A good as the The Untouchables's score is, it doesn't suit the movie at all, it makes it seem like a light-hearted movie

K, do you have an original opinion

Who hurt you?

@@ThaGhettoBlaster This guy is just overrated. There are so many filmmakers and directors out there that made so many incredible short films but that's it. I mean reservoir and pulp fiction are good but OK. I think you understand me

@@dexterlee569 Maybe he does, but I don't. "Short films"? What do short films have to do with anything? Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are good? You don't say...

Michael Bay wtf

bro...

What

Swap out Bay for Scorsese.

I agree. The Transformers films were masterpieces. I hope they make more.

OK, Mr. High and Mighty.

Who hurt you?

@@ThaGhettoBlaster You're adorable.

He did. He said people should check out city on fire.

Ok, but does he recycle??

Living by his teachings, that might save. But the moment you start hating on gays and whatnot, it all falls apart because you lose all sense of what it means to be a father to a child/children, and you think he wants to throw you in a pit of fire. It's idiocy. So no, Jesus doesn't save. Living according to his example, THAT saves.

I agree with you, but i would add Jackie Brown to the list.

@@fernandomaron87 naa man. Hated it
