Scorsese is the same way in regards to living and breathing cinema. I’d love to see them play against each other in like a pop quiz game show about cinema lol
And Christopher Walkin, Gary Oldham and Denis Hopper in true Romance. The Scicillian scene was as good, if not better than some of the scenes in in glorious bastards.
Denis daly, that sicilian scene is in my eyes the greatest scene in movie history, hopper and walker jus illuminate of each other, along with the mow mow scene in the deer hunter its walkens magnum opus.
Yeah he shouldn’t be doing impressions 😂 worried about the Tyson film lol. He does it in a way it’s funny but he’s no impressionist. It won’t be as bad as the mockery that it was with MJW but still
Usually when actors are speaking of their directors you can tell it’s mostly Bullshit. Not in Quentin’s case. You actually believe his actors love and trust him.
Ronnie C - I think that’s true, but I also think he’s incredibly genuine. That translates as very rough & off-putting to many people, but it seems honest. Just like when Christoph Waltz in this, he can make you learn to love your craft. I’m not even in the business, but to have that opportunity would be absolutely amazing, a real dream come true.
Well except for Uma Thurman who now hates his guts for his part in the car crash. And i like that it shows it's not all just bs it's and acttual oppinion ppl have
Koen Diepen uma has since forgiven tarintino, partially because he says it’s one of his biggest regrets and he is incredibly sorry for what he did, and more so she blames the producers who was putting pressure on both her and tarintino to go through with it. But unlike tarintino they expressed 0 remorse and tried to sweep the entire thing under the carpet. One of those producers being good old Harvey Weinstein. She did hate tarintino for what he did, but later forgave him.
There's a great quote by him answering a question if he went to film school to which he replied that he did not, he went to films. Always thought that was pure genius.
Jaime Foxx's impression was pretty fucking dead on. I'm glad QT had that talk with him. When I heard JF was starring in Django Unchained my immediate thought was "he's too sleek and smooth." but I think thanks to that talk JF dug down deep to find that venerability and give us something true and believable. I saw Django back to back in the movies. I was gagged at how great it was.
He's a great actor and we see why in this interview he submit to the director intention and trust him 100%. Being humble is part of what makes a good actor and also a great director.
Only time I’ve EVER cared about movies is with Quentin. I’ve never experienced that feeling of watching a movie based on the director/writer rather than the plot until I saw Quentin’s movies.
Its amazing because it applies to everything you do. If you put true love and passion into anything, its always going to turn out good in the end. Dedication is the hard part.
@monokhem LOL. That's the secret no one is talking about ... That's how you make a proper film. Not just the traditional notion of love obviously, but variations of it depending on each character.
Hans Landa and Christoph Waltz’s performance is QT’s single greatest achievement in his career. I love learning about the conviction that Quentin had in making sure he found the perfect actor for the perfect part, and how it came to fruition.
In a parallel universe Quentin is still recommending VHS movies to students who think he's too old to still be living in his mums and smelling like a musty video shop. He's a strange chap but his taste is impeccable.
@V A thats excellent, you have an opinion that the other 281 people who liked this comment didn't. I'd say you're a little strange, just for that reason.
@V A well I am a little strange and that's a very good thing in my case.. it's what you don't want when you're a kid but then realise it's what makes you unique as you get older, standing out from a crowd is what a strange person would do. It's not a derogatory slant necessarily, if Quentin was completely normal then he would probably not be who he is today. Instead he's the type of chap who binge watched videos for the best part of his life, to the point of obsession, some people do this with drugs and die, or food and get fat, or weights and get big, or problems and end up stressed, anything taken in by vast quantities makes you a little strange, otherwise why do you do it? On the flip side to that coin it also makes you an absolute master at it, and cinema is where Quentin stands alone. But to call him completely normal would not be accurate. Strange would be an improvement on normal
I know every twist and turn, every dialogues and action scene from his filmography but I still can watch each and every Tarantino movie over 1000 times again.
Kill Bill is almost everything I hate in media but the best movies I have ever seen. Tarantino is a master. He is an expert about every genre he wants to feature. He is extremely low-key but one of the best directors in the history of cinema.
I have purposefully not watched them. (Kill Bill). I have seen all of the others. I watched Jackie Chan films growing up. You won't beat Police Story.. But anyway, I did not think him, or the actors he used, would create a film I would enjoy, especially as I have been a Tarantino fan since we drove 50 miles to a cinema that was ALLOWED to show Reservoir Dogs, because it was banned originally. (UK).. I kinda forced my mate who had a car. So I've not watched them. Your comment has made me consider it, and I value your words and the way you have phrased it. After re-watching Jackie Brown recently, I realised I had greatly underestimated it, when it was released. So it may just happen. :)
Tarantino's my favourite film-nerd, and I mean that with nothing but appreciation. You can tell he absolutely adores film, and his knowledge of sometimes pretty obscure films is astounding. But, what I really like him for is this ability to pick actors who other directors just won't touch, only for the film to be massively successful, for the actor to get rave reviews, and then to watch other directors scramble to use them. I don't know another director who can do that, who can essentially dictate the next sought-after actor to the industry. It's no wonder that actors rush to work for him. He can see things in actors that others are blind to.
The way u put this video together is something the man himself would be proud of. Definitely an underrated element of RU-vid n I think U urself deserve more recognition for that, thank u for this masterpiece.
What no one comments on is that Quentin writes every line of the script as well.That sets him apart from others.If there are other directors who write the script for their movies that would rival him I would welcome their views.
@Goldfinch The Andersons (Paul Thomas and Wes) write their scripts, and direct them with distinct styles that only they could pull off. No other director could make good movies out of their scripts. Very similar to Tarantino's.
Goldfinch Alfred Hitchcock made plot centric films though which took away from the shelf life of a lot of hid films for me. Vertigo is an exception and a masterpiece.
a lot of my favorite movies are written and directed by the same person. I used to look specifically for that. Gravesend, Buffalo 66, Corndog Man, 29th Street maybe, Idk, I forget, I havent thought about it for years. There's a lot of good ones, imo.
My first job was for a movie theater. I saw Reservoir Dogs in an art house theater in OC, CA. It won me over. It was the movie I told all of my High School and College friends about as a must see. Then a friend of mine knew John Lynch and somehow got a hold of the Pulp Fiction script and we all got a turn to read. We were blown away how smart, edgy, clever, and funny it was. When we heard about casting I will admit I loved Samuel L Jackson, I loved Willis as Butch, I loved Thurman as Mia Wallace. I had no idea who Ving Rhames was. But I was so wrong about Travolta. I was convinced he wasnt right for casting but when I watched opening day I was so wrong. He was perfect! His body of work is honestly an unrushed treasure trove of cinema with its own unique styling. Taking pieces of inspiration from other genius directors and making his own. I feel lucky to have watched all of his films on the big screen.
You have to have a better response . You claim something is amazing(it was good). But you leave us with a cliffhanger. Tell us why you think it is amazing.
Great work that you do, Tarantino is one of the greatest and my personal favorite. As well as gandolfini as an actor is one of my favorites; you did them both justice
I’m such a huge fan of Tim Roth. I want to see him in more QT films. I’ve only ever been compared, looks-wise, to one celebrity, & that’s a young Quentin Tarantino. To be perfectly blunt, I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not...
Thanks Best of Humans... a great short doco... inspires me to watch more Quentin and do the things I do [nothing to do with film] with more authenticity.
Hateful eight is his best writing in my opinion. Django and inglorious are my favourites but the detail in hateful eight is absolutely genius. I think nolan is the best director but nobody writes like tarantino. He is such a genuine guy.
Snake Pliskin summed it up perfectly. I'll add, most all of us who's received the gift of viewing his films, it's not missed on us. During my lifetime I've witnessed no other, that approaches the level of mastery. He's his own genre and alway's managages to cast his artwork with the best. Truly incredible.
Absolutely fanatastic video!👌 U do the great man a sort of ingenious justice.... Quentin is quite possibly the greatest filmaker of all time let alone of his generation. Looking forward to his next movie already.....keep ut the great vids👊, who knows he even might use you as an editor himself..... Personally, natural born killers is my fav, but resevoir dogs and pulp fiction r a very close second.
What I love about QT is what a massive movie buff he is and how that comes through in his movies. Also the way he used unfashionable actors like John Travolta and Robert Forster
Going to miss this film genius when he retires. He’s from a bygone era now, we share the same generation of video stores and no internet which forced creativity and produced one of the most creative, brilliant and distinct writer directors of all time in Quentin Tarantino. A person who truly, TRULY, loves the art of cinema. Circumstances just don’t exist to create this kind of artist anymore. If I could pick any actor to be in the next, and possibly final, Tarantino film, I’d pick Aaron Paul. I’d love to see him in a Tarantino film. He’d be fantastic.
Every generation gifts us with one truly genius film director. A director who's movies stand head and shoulders above the crowd with each director raising the bar and setting the standard for the next generation. Cecil B. DeMille, Orson Wells, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lean, Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino.
This dude truly is my icon, for many years now. I remember going to his movies, especially django , alone and just for myself in the middle of nowhere in a small german cinema. Quite a unique experience , and movies are my passion too. My dream would be to work with people like quentin lol. Who knows maybe one day.
He’s spot on about django. You need to be terrified and angered when it comes to a movie about slavery. He invites you to sit down and absolutely FEEL. That was the darkest time in American history, you shouldn’t watch a slavery film and be bored and not feel a certain way. If you aren’t uncomfortable then it’s just a shitty movie, period
