      @@TylerMowery his plans have been somewhat changing from time to time. Wouldn't be suprised if theres gonna be more than ten movies if he at that point still feels confident and has something to say, closer and closer to the tenth film he sounds more and more unsure of that 10 film plan. He's also talked about writing books containing history about cinema after he's done with making movies. We will see, there's time for him to come up with all kinds of ideas and nothing is set in stone as of yet.

      I don’t think he’ll truly fully retire from filmmaking. He’ll definitely take a break after number 10 and go out and try other creative outlets like writing novels or stage plays or literature on film history and criticism, but I can easily see him eventually coming back to do one more film at some point down the line. It’s like Miyazaki: he always says he’s gonna “retire,” but he always keeps coming back every now and then to the art form he loves and is passionate about.

      Yeah, but that wouldn’t work in every story. The reason it’s okay in The Hateful Eight is because it didn’t really matter who poisoned the coffee. Whether it was Tim Roth, Michael Madsen or senior bob the movie would have progressed the same. In stories with a much more elaborate reveal you have to do a little bit of planning.

      I'm reading the Hateful Eight just after watching it for the second time. It's so much like reading a book. Lots of descriptions you wouldn't find in other scripts, and the thoughts of characters.

    Listening to Tarantino, I realized he and Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) share a similar approach to screenwriting. Cormac also allows his characters to lead him through the story, but it's necessary to really understand your characters for that to happen. I've heard my characters talking in my head sometimes, but I still extensively outline first. Better choices can always be made... at anytime.

      @@doc8013 I'm a lot brighter than Tarantino fanboy idiots that are too stupid to realize that he rips off old movies. Ever hear of a movie called "City on Fire"? It's a Hong Kong movie directed by Ringo Lam. It's about an undercover cop that infiltrates a gang that's going to rob a diamond store. He befriends one of the gang members while undercover and then gets wounded and shoots a civilian by accident. Sound familiar? Guess how it ends: a three-way Mexican stand off. "Reservoir Dogs" is a note-for-fucking-note, shot-for-fucking shot rip off of that movie. In addition to that, the color-coded code names were ripped from "The Taking of Pelham 123". That's just "Reservoir Dogs". "Pulp Ficion" is full of scenes and dialogue swiped from other movies like Sam Jackson's infamous Bible verse which Tarantino cribbed from a Sonny Chiba movie. All of his movies are like that. He just steals other people shit because he can't come up with any original ideas. So, do some research and then get bent, you stupid fucking fanboy.

It never occurred to me to write these stories out in a screenplay format, but it sems so logical after watching Quentin's works and reading some of his screenplays. He really gives us so much and simultaneously so little that he almost seems to want us to take the story and continue or finish it for ourselves.

    Tarantino is one of the best screenwriters of modern cinema, and I really hope that after his film career, he still allows us to experience his creativity and wit via him being an author. Clearly he’s a gifted writer and I think it would be beyond interesting if he wrote a full book about the entire process and experiences behind each of his films. With snippets of never before seen versions of scripts and behind the camera secrets. I’m sure that his writing would be just as his film dialogue is; riveting, genius and legendary.

    Listening to this, i couldn't help but notice the similarity between his talk here and the talk of Stephen King on character development.
    Both of them let their characters tell him who they are and what they want to do. The similarity in their approach to character development is quite remarkable.

    As I approach the completion of a short film I shot during the pandemic, and watching this Tarantino video a second time, I find myself in complete agreement with Tarantino. While my short film was intended as an exercise of going through the process of writing, shooting and editing a film; the path I had taken along the way was much like what Tarantino expressed here. It was a process. And as he said, completing the process is good enough for me. I learned a lot about myself and the film making process by creating and working on this short film. And my attitude is the same. If others like my short film, that would be great. But, the process itself was rewarding enough for me, that I am fine with the outcome regardless of how it's received. My goal was to become more comfortable with the process of film making. As a result, the writing and making of my next short will be a little easier because of the short film I'm completing now.
    I'm grateful I watched this video a second time. It solidified my process. Letting me know that I don't have to know the ending of my films at the beginning of my writing process. I can allow the story to unfold as I write it. Many thanks for this video and your content. Stay safe.

    If you are looking to become a screenwriter just remember that this is only Quentins way. He’s found the right way for him individually based on himself. This doesn’t mean it’s the right way. If I was writing a story or a screenplay I have to know what happens at the beginning of the journey and what happens at the end of the journey but that’s just my way of doing things. Find the right way for you.

    I have a question for Quentin, but also for those who know him well: let's talk about the first scene in the attic of Attori hanzo. Understanding the meaning, the props, the slowness, the feeling, I tried to write it. Subsequently I compared it with the original script and I saw that in the original one many details are missing, moreover, it was shot not respecting the script. For instance: in the script, Attori Hanzo is the first to enter, while in the film, it is Beatrix. Surely there are directorial improvisations, but my question is: if the script had been written by another writer, would Quentin have shot it the same way?

    I am currently trying to write my first feature film screenplay in lockdown (gulp.) I am outlining at the moment and have only gotten to just over half way. Now Tarantino's advice is that he knows really up until half way and then he will know his characters enough to figure it out from there. Yet many people such as Syd Field always say to know your ending so your film can lead up to that point. Should I halt the outlining for now and start my screenplay or continue to outline? Thanks , any advice would be great
