It shows up in his work. He loves to tell stories. He's aaawesome at it. Does he stroke a little? Sure. So did Kubrick, and Scorcese does it, too. It's ok to know you're good. Not that many people make every movie an experience. More than just a flick. Not everyone can get there every time. The best ones do it more
Passion? More like an EGO out of control! I have never seen a filmmaker who LOVES to hear himself talk. I would respect the overrated Auteur more if he would just STFU every once and awhile...Comparing Chow Yun Fat to Alain Delon?? Are you $#@%ing kidding me?? What a Goof!
You know artists are true visionaries when you listen to them talk about the art and you feel more informed, and understanding of how things work within it. I feel more passionate about film just by hearing his love for it. This dude is amazing.
Is there anyone alive with such an encyclopedic knowledge of cinema all over the world he's a pure film geek love watching him talk. If he wasnt a famous director hed still be sitting around having conversations like this.
Scorsese is far more knowledgeable about cinema than this fool. People think Spielberg only likes commercial crap because he makes big Hollywood stuff, but he also would know more about cinema. So would Coppola.
"Is there anyone alive with such an encyclopedic knowledge?" Yes. Paul Thomas Anderson. Imdb even refers to him literally as "a man with an encyclopaedic knowledge of film and film technique". Furthermore, Tarantino himself presenting on "Tarantino Takes Over Sky Movies" (showcasing 6 of his favorite films playing on the channel) picked "There Will Be Blood" and refers to Paul Thomas Anderson as "the most contemporary, the most friendly competitor and I'm glad to be making movies in the same time as Paul". Suffice to say PTA is right up there with Tarantino.
Kudos to the video editor of this interview; when Tarantino talks about Jean Luc Godard at 3:35 the editing starts to jump cut to mimic Godard's style. I have seen this interview several times and never noticed it until today.
I think Tarantino's comments on Godard is being misconstrued here. He's saying Godard was influential in opening up new and novel ways to shoot films, that he showed a young Tarantino how you could step beyond the bounds. This kind of influence is understandably likely to be great early on in a filmmaker's career because he is still a student of the art. But perhaps that infulence diminishes as the experience of the filmmaker increases over time. When Tarantino says he has outgrown Godard, I think Tarantino is simply saying that Godard's daring and novelty kind of lost their wow-factor for Tarantino as they were imitated and became standard over the years, not that Godard is immature or anything.
Funny you should mention how Godard's stuff has become standard. Heck, just look at how Soderberg's "Ocean's Eleven" channels Godard's motifs (the jump cuts, humorously self-reflective dialogue, etc.) into a "mainstream" aesthetic.
No matter what other directors I encounter in my journey and love, even if I think they're better directors (Sergio Leone, David Lynch, etc...) Quentin Tarantino will always be the most inspirational director to me. So much passion, a passion neither I and even nearly all of the other working directors can touch. A passion as large as Truffaut or Scorseses.
Love to sit down and have a conversation with this guy. Always amazed by how he recall years ago as if they were an hour ago, quite remarkable. Love his take on Melville...Melville is still fucking fantastic
Isaac Johnson Caddell Yes but someone's work is different from who they are. That said, I've heard that meeting your artistic heroes can often be a disappointing and jarring experience.
I respect Tarantino for his talent as a film maker and his enthusiasm about cinema. it's always interesting to hear him speak about other people's work because the dude knows what he's talking about... However, I kinda agree with Godard... I'm not a huge fan of Tarantino movies.
+apple-sauce I don't think he seems arrogant, he seems like a decent kind of guy when you watch him in things like this, he's so passionate it just oozes off the screen when you hear him talk about things like this.
I wish i could visit this man so he could teach and explain to me what good entertainment is. I am a kid of the 90s and his knowledge is far far beyond mine.
I suppose I can list my favorite directors. They would be, in order, David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Christopher Nolan, Adrian Lyne, Alfred Hitchcock, Federico Fellini and Martin Scorsese. I'm obsessed with Lynch and Kubrick, which is why I took Tarantino's comment (he's also dissed Lynch big time) to heart. You can't blame me for being extremely passionate regarding this. As childish as spite can be, at least I can admit that it's the genesis of my fury. It's part of the human condition.
interesting that tarantino menttions pauline kael in some of his interviews. I discovered her when i was in my midteens (I found a discounted book in k mart) it opened the world of cinema for me. her insights are incredible
Clockwork Orange was the biggest performer for Warner Brothers for 1971 (and it was only pulled from cinemas in England, by Kubrick),The Shining was panned but it didn't stop anyone from seeing it, and the fact that Full Metal Jacket didn't make the same amount of money as Platoon is irrelevant, and the fact that he wasn't making the kind of money that Spielberg was doesn't mean he was broke. And Lolita made 5 times it's money back. Your turn.
Honest & brilliant. He just understands cinema and himself, very well. And, this was over 10 years ago! So many do not realize how intelligent Tarantino is. Especially when it comes to story and film.
Why is everyone so worried of what Tarantino thinks of Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick ? can´t the guy have his own fucking opinion ? JC it just seems a obligation to appreciate their movies especially Kubrick´s work! Even though I think movies like Eyes Wide Shut(definitely Kubrick's underrated masterpiece),2001:Space Odissey,Shining or Full Metal Jacket are extremely GOOD movies I also as a Tarantino fan can see why he isn´t just not that into him...This guys are artists! And as artists they normally have strong opinions and noticeable styles of filmmaking and in general the way they see film as an art form and that is why throughout history prestigious filmmakers have insulted each other...Orson Welles and Jean-Luc Godard didn´t like each other,Ingmar Bergman thought that Welles was a ''hoax'' and Jean-Luc Godard's work ''boring' and Antonini ''tedious''',Jacques Rivette said that Kubrick's films were mechanical,etc...
Yeah that was my favourite part too but I really like that quote from the big short "the truth is like poetry and most people f*cking hate poetry" it really depends on the poem though doesn't it like art depends on the artist Francis Ford Bacon is not Norman Rockwell for instance.
I've made peace with the fact Quentin isn't a huge fan of Kubrick... cause at the same time his praise of the first 20 minutes of A Clockwork Orange and all of Paths Of Glory is enough. He knows Kubrick was a master. .. . he just isn't that willing to go further in public. I stil love QT.
People who don't "get" Lynch automatically go for the "pretentious" angle because they have nothing else to grab onto. That's not his fault. And I should mention, Tarantino was a huge fan of Lynch's work until Twin Peaks. He's lifted ideas from Lynch that he will never admit, such as the human ear (Blue Velvet/Reservoir Dogs). Lynch and Kubrick deal with psychology, which is always more interesting. "Lost Highway" is the most terrifying film ever made, with "The Shining" a close second.
I know he was joking about Kubrick too. He later on said in another interview that he says the first 20 minutes of A Clockwork Orange had a big influence.
At this point he's been making films for a long time and you can still see how passionate he is about it. If you like nothing in his portfolio I think that alone is still worthy of some respect.
You gotta give the guy credit, following his own path, a passionate belief in creating his own aesthetic and re-inventing what he loves in cinema. Two pop culture classics, some really great writing and one really great film based on a great book by a fellow like-minded artist. I hope "For A Few Slaves More" is a sign that he's getting back to where he was before big ol' W started throwing truckloads of cash at his feet and whatever else led him astray from solid and impressive film making.
Don't know any of these inspirations, i'm like not refined in cinema enough. but like i love how Tarranino's isn't even elitist about any of them he genuinely is into them all without being a prtentious dick about them .
I'm pretty sure Tarantino was being sarcastic re: Kubrick and Orson Welles. I mean, he referenced The Killing and openly admits he never read the book. He probably just doesn't want to go on the record as being a Kubrick fan since everyone and their mother already is, it's just 'so obvious and bourgeois.'
I love Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick, but I really respect Tarantino for speaking his mind of that. Most people fake their perspective of Kubrick and Welles, because they're conforming with the masses.
Paths of Glory is an exception, and it's probably his best film. I can name a few of my favourite directors - Andrei Tarkovsky, João César Monteiro, Ingmar Bergman, Pedro Costa, Robert Bresson, Manoel de Oliveira, Abbas Kiarostami, Jim Jarmusch, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Miguel Gomes, Robert Altman, Clint Eastwood, John Cassavetes, Luchino Visconti, Vittorio de Seta, Vittorio de Sica, Wim Wenders, Michael Haneke, Woody Allen. Now tell me about taste.
He says he outgrew him because as a novice Godard was so cool, different, and avant garde. When he got more experience he realized he can learn more from others and found he had learned all he needed from Godard for his own style.
Apart from that, and from the little I've seen, I think he is a competent filmmaker and has a vision of the world (his world) quite peculiar, which I don't necessarily dislike.
To think, back then he was just a guy who made one movie and write a couple screenplays, who would later go on to end the life of Hitler, and save that of Sharon Tate. Quentin tarantino is truly a gem who will be remembered.
Overrated? Fuck off, haha. Those who make the best movies are the ones that take the biggest risks and although many people don't like filmmakers like Quentin because of this, they do get more of a hardcore following, the way it should be. You haven't seen many movies if your favourite director is always the guy that plays it safe and keeps churning out the same generic shit, as a man that doesn't do that, I'd say Quentin is pretty consistent and makes some fantastic pieces of cinema. Tarantino and Kubrick are definitely my favourite American directors.
FranticAnimations everyone does that you dush. There is no such thing as an original idea ... seriously if you watched more films or were actually a student of art you would know that
Tarantino may be joking when he said Kubrick and Welles are just "okay," but he certainly isn't being sarcastic when he puts himself at their level. Kill Bill is one of my favorite movies, but that is delusional.
9:18 How can you really say that the 80s was worst for action movies? I mean 70s, 90, 00s are probably better for action, but what about the 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s? Other than Buster Keaton, Howard Hawks, and Kurosawa there weren't many other people making great action flicks back then.
that's why I like Mister Tarantino! He wasn't afraid to say fuck Kubrick! He isn't afraid to say fuck to anyone who is liked or respected by many. He's honest to the very end of the definition.
+HankJennings its his opinion. nobody can be the BEST or WORST filmmaker because you either like a film maker or you don't. there isn't one director everyone universally has to love or hate
I confess, I don't know him so well. What I know from him is The Straight Story, some of his shorts, an interview he gave in a doc called Side by Side, and bits of Blue Velvet and Lost Highway (which I've watched in class) and not the whole Mulholland Dr. movie (which I dislike). I have here Eraserhead and Wild at Heart, which I was told are his best movies.
the result of a original copy and mixing is not a small thing; it comes with a new thing. In a world where almost all possibilties were already explored, doing what Mr. Tarantino does, in the way he does, is great in times of foolish, poor comedies, money-maker productions. You got my point here. So, let him, but not mistreat his work, which is surly valuable.
+gocsa It is actually comparing apples and oranges...and Kubrick was a big fan of Pulp Fiction. They have no similarities at all so, hey, nothing wrong with stating a preference.
+Jerry Saravia Kubrick's has never been a fan of Pulp Fiction. In the last interview he did on his favourite fims he talked about 90s films too and he didn't mention Pulp Fiction at all.
I think he's only gotten better with age, so I'd recommend "Inland Empire", finishing "Mulholland Dr.", it only makes sense if you see the last 20 minutes, "Lost Highway" and the series "Twin Peaks". There's also a movie called "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" which is a prequel to the series, even though it came out after. Lynch has the same birthday as Fellini, so that's where his instinctive/surreal nature stems from. "The Elephant Man" might be his best film. Maybe watch that one first.
but how can tarentino claim that he's outgrown godard, a filmmaker whose films are nothing short of experimental, when he can barely outgrow himself tbh
He says he has a 'sibling rivalry' with Kubrick and Welles, implying they are with him in the brotherhood of greatest american directors ever. His competitiveness is meant as evidence of his respect. Incredibly arrogant, but he's not slagging them off.
What are your thoughts on David Lynch? Out of all the filmmakers I mentioned, he probably gets the most flack for being incomprehensible. I, personally speaking, understand his methods and enjoy watching his work more than anyone else.
The passion of this guy is unreal.
It shows up in his work. He loves to tell stories. He's aaawesome at it. Does he stroke a little? Sure. So did Kubrick, and Scorcese does it, too. It's ok to know you're good.

+zufgh Good, in their own outlandish way.
+josh pwn Good answer.
I feel this statement is true for everything. If you truly love something, you’ll be good at it.
Eeehhhhb
I love Tarantino's honesty. He doesn't back slap like the other 99.9% of Hollywood actors and directors, he just talks openly and frankly.
You know artists are true visionaries when you listen to them talk about the art and you feel more informed, and understanding of how things work within it. I feel more passionate about film just by hearing his love for it. This dude is amazing.

Nice catch.
I could listen to this guy for hours and not get bored.
5:46 "that's my aesthetic. that is what i want to do"
He says alright so often. Alright.
haha yeah I noticed it too. (alright)
+Austin David alright.
Austin David I only noticed that after seeing Norm MacDonald's impression of him.
Anyone else notice the jump cuts when he's talking about Godard? Cute homage haha

The best part about this video - 7:37 to 8:09 :D
This is it ^ This is everything, all the validation for those who seek it... The path is there, now walk it. ...Or Goddam you, Now Go!
So pleased to see that there are ppl out there catching QT’s dazzling brilliance on film - he is truly a rare gem! TY!
He knows EVERYTHING about movies
He's so passionate, it's great.
Love to sit down and have a conversation with this guy. Always amazed by how he recall years ago as if they were an hour ago, quite remarkable. Love his take on Melville...Melville is still fucking fantastic
Quentin, you turned into the wolf man around the 1:00 minute mark. You know you are an A list actor!!!!
-Mr. Hyde
i love how Quentin is a perfect mix of all his idols, and that's what you really see in his movies a bit of everything which is awesome.
haha I love Quentin. He speaks with such an amazing passion, and his mix of humor hits the spot!
Tarantino only stopped liking Godard because Godard doesn't like Tarantino

+fook yu Where did you hear that?
+fook yu why godard doesn't like him?
+Irving Ramirez Because Godard thinks that QT is a movie-geek and not an artist.
Yeah he may be arrogant, and maybe his quality did decline, but the thing he says at 7:40 is just so fucking MOTIVATIONAL. Fuck yeah Tarantino!
+apple-sauce his quality did decline WHAT THE FUCK HAVE U BEEN KIDNAPPED BY MICHAEL BAY WAT WHAT WHAT
Tarantino is the only director who's never made a flop. Even if he considers death proof as a failure, I can say all his movies are masterpieces!!
+apple-sauce I don't think he seems arrogant, he seems like a decent kind of guy when you watch him in things like this, he's so passionate it just oozes off the screen when you hear him talk about things like this.
+Fleetwood that's not true
xxSCxSNIPESxx Then what is?
8:35 and onward
I love Kubrick and Orson Wells but gotta love Tarantino’s response here 😂
I wish i could visit this man so he could teach and explain to me what good entertainment is. I am a kid of the 90s and his knowledge is far far beyond mine.
NOBODY PUTS DOWN STANLEY! NOBODY!
I was very surprised
@@samarthgrover1996 He only said that because everyone says Kubrick. He was being humorous.
Yeah his adding Welles to the joke confirmed it must be a joke. Cause between them they are the artists of American cinema pre-70s
He was being sarcastic. Didn't you get it?
Thanks for sharing, buddy! Can never get enough of QT talking about movies and his idols.
Tarantino says "alright" more times than Matthew McConagheuy
Maybe you're just caught in an infinite loop living the same day over and over and over ...
I suppose I can list my favorite directors. They would be, in order, David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Christopher Nolan, Adrian Lyne, Alfred Hitchcock, Federico Fellini and Martin Scorsese.

It ́s true all of it Don't forget Tarkovsky, he slammed them all.
This guy speaks so fast that i didn't undestad a word. Can you tell me what he said?
Burnintreez321 There are few people who can verbalize Kubrick's cinematic achievements in a few words. You're one of them.
cant the people who disagreed with him have their own fucking opinion?
I've always loved Quentin tarantino's chin quite passionately
i love hearing him talk about film, he's my inspiration.
07:30 - 08:09 I feel so inspired by tarantino, he always going to be my hero, my favourite director of all time EVER.
The poetry between the lines comment he made... I think that's exactly what he achieves in most of his films
Yeah that was my favourite part too but I really like that quote from the big short "the truth is like poetry and most people f*cking hate poetry" it really depends on the poem though doesn't it like art depends on the artist Francis Ford Bacon is not Norman Rockwell for instance.
Great upload. I really got a lot out of this
This genius that gives us the poetry between the lines...
QT doesn't actually piss on Godard, just says that as he got older he didn't worship him like he once did.
Tarantino: I've outgrown Godard.
Godard: Me too.
'Godard is to cinema what Dylan is to music'
All the fools need to really listen before saying he is not respecting Godard because he criticized him
I've made peace with the fact Quentin isn't a huge fan of Kubrick... cause at the same time his praise of the first 20 minutes of A Clockwork Orange and all of Paths Of Glory is enough. He knows Kubrick was a master. .. . he just isn't that willing to go further in public. I stil love QT.
He was just making a joke about saying kub isn’t that good
Tarantino isn't a fan of hitchcock either 😢
Sempre e comunque un genio! Thanks for the interview
Take a shot every time he says “Alright". I love you Tarantino, never change
People who don't "get" Lynch automatically go for the "pretentious" angle because they have nothing else to grab onto. That's not his fault. And I should mention, Tarantino was a huge fan of Lynch's work until Twin Peaks. He's lifted ideas from Lynch that he will never admit, such as the human ear (Blue Velvet/Reservoir Dogs).

min 8:43 Going into character : L. Tierney talking about Kubrick and Welles.....XD and SCENE!
Would love a follow-up just on the one's he's skeptical of; Kubrick and Welles etc
I know he was joking about Kubrick too. He later on said in another interview that he says the first 20 minutes of A Clockwork Orange had a big influence.
@@aidanmercer9422not surprised. then gain, he said Reservoir Dogs is his version of The Killing.
Quentin Tarantino . . . iconic director . . .
At this point he's been making films for a long time and you can still see how passionate he is about it. If you like nothing in his portfolio I think that alone is still worthy of some respect.

The two greatest directors of the 20th centure kubrick and welles.
I just LOVE Quentin's Tim Carrey impression!
Paths of Glory is an exception, and it's probably his best film. I can name a few of my favourite directors - Andrei Tarkovsky, João César Monteiro, Ingmar Bergman, Pedro Costa, Robert Bresson, Manoel de Oliveira, Abbas Kiarostami, Jim Jarmusch, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Miguel Gomes, Robert Altman, Clint Eastwood, John Cassavetes, Luchino Visconti, Vittorio de Seta, Vittorio de Sica, Wim Wenders, Michael Haneke, Woody Allen.

Touche. Seems we both can admit when the other was wrong. I like that.
Melville is indeed the MAN. Thumbs up
Apart from that, and from the little I've seen, I think he is a competent filmmaker and has a vision of the world (his world) quite peculiar, which I don't necessarily dislike.

In a world where almost all possibilties were already explored, doing what Mr. Tarantino does, in the way he does, is great in times of foolish, poor comedies, money-maker productions. You got my point here. So, let him, but not mistreat his work, which is surly valuable.
When was this interview filmed and is this the whole interview?
"Alright" Its awesome.
His opinions of Kubrick and Godard are debatable.
+Alex Espinoza Tarantino at his best will never be as good as Kubrick at his worst.
+gocsa It is actually comparing apples and oranges...and Kubrick was a big fan of Pulp Fiction. They have no similarities at all so, hey, nothing wrong with stating a preference.
+Jerry Saravia but is it kubrick was making movies with non linear
+Jerry Saravia Kubrick's has never been a fan of Pulp Fiction. In the last interview he did on his favourite fims he talked about 90s films too and he didn't mention Pulp Fiction at all.
+Jerry Saravia kubrick said it was good, or fine or something, he said it only in passing or something I think
Really an actors director with strong emphasis on music & dialogue
I think he's only gotten better with age, so I'd recommend "Inland Empire", finishing "Mulholland Dr.", it only makes sense if you see the last 20 minutes, "Lost Highway" and the series "Twin Peaks". There's also a movie called "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" which is a prequel to the series, even though it came out after. Lynch has the same birthday as Fellini, so that's where his instinctive/surreal nature stems from. "The Elephant Man" might be his best film. Maybe watch that one first.
This was one the reservoir dogs DVD?
Who's here today on Tarantino's Birthday?
Me
but how can tarentino claim that he's outgrown godard, a filmmaker whose films are nothing short of experimental, when he can barely outgrow himself tbh
would you kindly elaborate on how you found the photography of Mulholland Drive amateurish?
yes, please provide a date
He says he has a 'sibling rivalry' with Kubrick and Welles, implying they are with him in the brotherhood of greatest american directors ever. His competitiveness is meant as evidence of his respect. Incredibly arrogant, but he's not slagging them off.
Is it a clip from documentary or a whole interview? I would like to know where it is from👀
I adored Tierney I've seen all his films, Scorsese was and remains a genius of cinema with Kubrick, Woo after great films has only done crap
What are your thoughts on David Lynch? Out of all the filmmakers I mentioned, he probably gets the most flack for being incomprehensible. I, personally speaking, understand his methods and enjoy watching his work more than anyone else.
