No matter the budget, he's always gonna have some feet on the screen
I didn't even know about his foot fetish but after OUATIH I noticed something wss up with feet and looked it up. I could feel the fetishism coming through the screen.
@@Tiikers hes a good guy Gregg for all foot fetishers :)
What feet were in Reservoir Dogs?
bruh this has tarnished all tarintino films. feet people need to be shot
@@cantbanme792 in the foot right?
Fun fact: Pulp Fiction was the last movie Bruce Willis actually wanted to be in.
"the last movie Bruce Willis actually wanted to be in." What does that even mean??? When did Bruce say that? Pulp Fiction came out in 1994. He has made countless amazing movies since Pulp Fiction. So you are saying that the 50+ movies he has been in since Pulp Fiction he didn't want to be in at all?
Die Hard with a Vengeance (2nd movie with Samuel L. Jackson)
The Fifth Element
The Jackal
Armageddon
The Sixth Sense
The Story of Us
The Whole Nine Yards
His arch on Friends
Unbreakable (3rd movie with Samuel L. Jackson)
Sin City
16 Blocks
None of these movies were to his liking ONLY Pulp Fiction? He was just collecting a paycheck, going through the motions, and pining for his days on the set of Pulp Fiction. I don't think so!
@@CC-si3cr chill man you don’t need to write his entire imdb, it was just a joke

I love how you cover these filmmakers beginning films and how they evolved into much bigger productions.
That's indeed the content of the video
I specifically love when they covered How Tarantino Shoots a Film at 3 Budget Levels
@@Michael-ki5oz omg I didn't realized that until now
that’s kind of the point
@@benthebitcoinbillionaire164 yes of course, once you get into the subtext of the analysis
the BTS shot of the highway scene in Once Upon a Time is nothing short of amazing! So much work went into making something look normal, but a specific kind of normal that just feels right. Personally, I think that the narrative of the film wasn't anything spectacular, but I believe that the movie is a masterpiece in terms of the art of filmmaking and the physical worldbuilding done by Tarantino's team
When i watch the movie it just feels right and I don't think much about it. But watching this video it makes total sense that its a crazy shoot to do.
Army!!! BTS Fan here!
@@cube6687 BTS as in behind the scenes :|
Yess BTS shot truly is amazing!! ;) And I kind of agree about the narrative but that's just cause I'm a girl and not a huge fan of violence, although I must say that there are so many other elements including the brilliant actors he got wow! I'd love the movie just for that if I also didn't agree that the film quality was top notch. This video shows what being a filmmaker is all about and what you can do with any size budget if you're smart. Loved this!
It definitely was an excellent narrative in my opinion, it just didn't follow a normative structure. The narrative was character-driven with slice of life elements that provide with the viewer of an idyllic time in Hollywood's golden age, so the viewer could experience within 3 hours the era Tarantino knew and loved, and shaped who he was to became. It's become mainstream to hate on it because it wasn't an action film like most of tarantino's works , but it held his key sense of affection. Tarantino's greatness is much deeper than his stylized action influenced by east asian cinema. It is among his best works imo, and his most personal.
Excellent technical breakdown! This would work great as a chapter in a book if you wrote one, so we could study the frames you presented a bit longer. Well done!
Agreed . I would love to read an entire book on tarantinos filmography
Love your videos! You guys are hilarious

Mind boggling that Pulp fiction has about the same budget as The Room.
I know! You'd think The Room would've had a much bigger budget seeing as it was so good!
That should show you the difference in skill hah
@@solismax65 tarantino has a lot to learn from Wiseau
Wiseau pretty infamously mismanaged the budget on The Room with things like running both digital and film equipment at the same time because he couldn't decide so it looks a lot cheaper than it was
We as film viewers don't show enough appreciation to the complex creativities involved in movie making. We get so caught up and drawn into watching the actors perform that we ignore most of the surroundings. Those small details like lighting are extremely marginalized by viewers but understandably not the viewers fault. They are so well done to the point we hardly pay attention to those small details. Kudos to all the hard working and creatively minded people in the industry.
Think of it this way: the best compliment you can give to a VFX person is to say you didn’t realize it was a special effect. You don’t always notice good lighting, but you’ll certainly notice bad lighting.
Just decided to binge tarantino today and got this!
They're watching you so they'll recommend it
@@mbulelogama1281 yes
@@mbulelogama1281 they didn’t recommend, they made a video just for him/her lol
So shay is just an alter ego?
@MARTY MCFLY I binged it cause it was my first time dude. lol
Daniel Day Lewis instead of Travolta in PulpFiction, damn, didnt know the studio wanted that.. Knowing Tarantino he probably wanted Travolta solely for the dance scene
I feel like Travolta has the charm that really fits the character, not taking anything away from DDL
Daniel would have been great but Travolta was a much better fit for the character
@@reservoirfrogs2177 Daniel Day Lewis wouldn't fit with the unique humor blending with the violence. He's a great actor, but not for the type of movie that Pulp Fiction is. Travolta played it just right to contrast with Samuel L Jackson.
However, whoever wanted William Hurt is symbolic of how movies can start out great in the idea and initial crafting, but can turn out bad when other people need to put their input into it and the originators loose control of their concept.
Sean Penn wouldn't fit either. But who would have been good was Danny Aiello.
I don’t think Lewis could pull off the “Cool” factor like Travolta. Travolta gives the character a cool nonchalance I think almost no other actor could pull off. Too bad his career had been suck a sad sack of movies the last couple decades.
The character isn't complex enough for Daniel Day-Lewis. If you want a dumb cool guy who can dance, you cast a dumb cool guy who can dance. Not some once in a generation genius method actor.
You should do the Coen Brothers next you could break down Blood Simple, Fargo, and No Country for Old Men
Absolutely, love those examples.
hell yeah
Ever see Burn After Reading? Underrated film. It's hilarious.
@@pauliewalnuts829 burn after reading never really did anything for me, No Country was 10/10 though
For someone who didn't go to film school, but is working in the industry, this channel is so useful in helping me build my knowledge of film. Thank you for this content!
Travolta's career had gone through a "bit of a dip". Like the Grand Canyon is a "bit of a dip".
Haha I see what you did there at 10:54 “from dusk till dawn” 👀
I came here for this comment
was literally about to write that almost word for word
Although i am not into cinematography i really find your work addictive. Your knowledge is massive. Id like to see some more on composition rather than lighting. Still will wait for whatever you post.
We need a Sam Raimi one. note; this is just an excuse to see you do a breakdown on Evil Dead 1 and Evil Dead 2 #deadbydawn
Yes!
And army of darkness
evil dead one and two and then the first spider man movie
That's something I'd love to see. It's interesting to watch the Evil Dead films and then the Spider-Man trilogy to see some of the techniques that carried over. In particular, the camera used in the web-swinging sequences is similar to the 'unseen evil pov' shots in Evil Dead.
I'd love tarantino to shoot a whole movie on an iPhone, with volunteer student actors, to show just how brilliant he is. I have a feeling it'd still stand up as something worth watching, because the man is a genius, and his storytelling is 90% of the game.
While I've not always been a fan of Tarantino movies I can not deny the charm of them. They are always made to be so much more colorful and lively than other films of their day, and on almost all of his films the writing and acting is incredible. I still maintain that the basement bar scene from Inglorious Bastards is one of the most well made scenes in any movie of the last 30 years.
I just wanted to say how much more enthusiastic this whole video is by seeing how "low" its budget was, with an ipad used for probably everything, even editing. This honestly made it feel like a young Tarantino trying to make it work out with whatever he had around and make the most out of it... and as you have said, sometimes this enriches the final version: indeed. Love it!
God! I never knew a thing about lighting in movies and never once imagined it to be so tough. The fact that they had to erect those massive lights across a shut down highway to film some driving scenes in OUATIH had my mind blown!
Great video - subscribing this channel immediately!
5:06 - I thought "chestnut" meant something else
Notice me check mark
explain yourself
It does
'Old chestnuts' meaning familiar / oft-repeated / cliché plot points, e.g. "That old chestnut of having one member of the gang turn out to be a rat."
I don't understand people who link AFTER the point they are talking about.
In your example it was a clear-cut word, so when I didn't hear it, I went back and checked, so I found it.
But there are many comments that make a joke or just allude to something and you end up watching a video wondering what are they talking about.
I really don't understand those people.
Pulp fiction is my favorite movie of all time and it's hilarious to me that marvel can spend billions of dollars on a film and I'll still find pulp fiction and reservoir dogs 10x more entertaining
@Ralis Sedarys I think most Marvel movies are alright, some better than others, but for the amount of money they spend on them, they're kinda generic. I love Django too tho, definitely one of my favorite Tarantino flicks
@Ralis Sedarys Yeah I'd say the post 2010 highlights were probably GotG, Civil War, and Infinity War
Most of these superhero movies suck. They will be forgotten in no time lol.
@@jothishprabu8 That's nearly impossible; they've shaped American culture and western cinema permanently. Though, I do agree that quite a few of them are very boring.

You know, I think Tarantino would be perfect to direct a film about the rise of Joseph Stalin. I think most westerners have a very limited understanding of who he was as a person and what he did before he became the dictator of the Soviet Union. One exploit he was involved in, the Tbilisi bank heist, would be absolutely _perfect_ for a screen adaptation. Stealing shitloads of cash from the Tsarist monarchy to fund revolutionary efforts, having the heist itself go perfectly, but only to have the whole thing ultimately thwarted by European banking cartels tracking the 500 Rubel notes, making it all pointless. Wiki the story, you'll see what I mean.
Your work is amazing. I love all the gear talk and about how you explain so much. Love all the work on the director’s. Please keep them coming. 🙏🏽
Good job thanks for all the interesting info and details
I love these type of breakdown videos. Love to watch more of these!
just imagine if he made this movie several months later, then covid would've eaten into most of the revenue. So lucky that "Once Upon a Time" was made just before Covid struck. Wondering if this was luck or was the movie about the death of cinema destined to be made just before its actual death, life is hilariously ironic sometimes.
I say let it die, I like to watch movies for the first time, right after smoking a joint with a freshly grilled steak and baked potatoes in front of me. Sort of a ritual I have with good movies, and I'd prefer not to have to wait for them to cycle through the theaters before arriving on my huge flat screen.

I’m glad to see this channel finally blowing up because all of your videos are like this. Well researched, good editing, and interesting insights on the subject.

As a fan of Cinefix, This Guy Edits, Behind the Curtain and a few others, I must say I am quite happy TH-cam suggested ths to me. New subscriber here :D
Though Tony Scott directed it, _True Romance_ will always be a Tarantino movie, no question.
And, the cast has his trademark all over it.
I think the exact same thing for “From Dusk till Dawn”, first time I watched it I was so damn convinced that Tarantino had made all of it
Tony Scott was a good director. I always liked his stuff even at the end......
True Romance does indeed retain the Tarantino fingerprint even if he didn't direct it himself
it's one of the best shoulda been a famous director's movie but wasn't but in the end still felt like it movies there is lol
@Limau Purut,
I can't imagine _True Romance_ without Christian Slater or Patricia Arquette.
They were perfect. Everyone was.
I'm sure Tarantino himself is pleased with how well they did in this film.
I loved this video! Thank you for making it and I hope to see more!
love your channel and share it with my cinematography students all the time
Tarantino is the only director to make me want to write a screenplay and shoot something, and the more I learn about him the more I want to do just that. Great video

Utterly phenomenal - - the level of research and DETAIL that goes into each of these videos really shines here, especially in your breakdown of the lighting using for the 'western' sequences of Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood. The sheer volume of compelling, fascinating insight you share in each video is absolutely top-tier. Awesome work, man :D
Tarantino is simply inspiring. I love your detailed analysis of the creative process of producers. You're a favorite on this platform.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is such a beautiful film. I absolutely loved it, and the final scene cracked me all the way up, but I was just so impressed by the cinematography. Quentin and his team went above and beyond
Glad to be a supporter - the work you do is amazing.
Amazing work! Truly in-depth.
Hello, I would like to suggest something. I don't think you are acknowledging the impact of inflation when writing the budgets of these movies. $1,500,000 in 1992 is worth $2,782,205 in 2021, so adjusting the budgets according to inflation would give more accurate information. Thank you for the great work!
@Liam for Pulp Fiction $8,500,000 in 1994 is worth $14,925,414 in 2021. Do you think those are in the same range sir? Of course some things will become cheaper but comparing prices at different time periods is not rational.
I have a hard time believing somebody interested in something as specific as the gear used by cinematographers wouldn’t be keenly aware of when the films were shot and how inflation works.
"They closed down the highway From Dusk till Dawn"
Clever, very clever!
That was soooo informative. I'm not a film-maker but I found it so interesting. I can't wait to re-watch each of those movies. Cheers!
Excellent video. The effort into lighting really does wonders for his films.
Can we all agree that the "once upon a time" ending was just "What!!!"
It was definitely a “What the FUCK!” moment. I was laughing my ass off in the theater
@@ben5966 Well, he had already done something like this in Inglorious Bastards…

might just me but i think the audio highs need to be lowered a tad, takes the edge off the sharp narration. otherwise perfect video.

Nice informations about all the technical stuff such as lighting and cameras, we dont see it very often when it comes to tarantino. Gracias brother great video
Very well put together.
Most of the budget for once upon a time was blown on hiring Brad Pitt, Dicaprio and Harley quinn. The scope of pulp fiction is not much different and John Travolta was in a situation where he needed a career boost so he didn't demand much to play the role which did end up reviving his career.
Pitt and Leo were paid $10mil each. Not sure what Robbie was paid, but certainly not as much as those two. So roughly 25-30% of the total budget went to the three stars.
I love his movies but lord I can only imagine what a pain in the ass it would be to work with him
It actually isn't. Quentin brings out the best in his actors, and they love him for it.
@@King6d9 nope. This isn't true. Please link it if you think you have some evidence.

Man, I love your videos. Please don't stop!
have you done a video about denis villeneuve? that would be really interesting.
I wish Tarantino shot a sci fi horror movie, or not. I'm not sure that's something he'd like to do. It is my favorite genre though.
Thanks for explaining how the car scenes were shot in ‘once upon a time’ those are one of my favorite frames from the movie, Set up of those scenes is tremendously huge, filmmakers did a great work preparing the scenery and lighting.
Great video man!

Amazing technical breakdown! some much insights on iconic movies like these🙌
"Tarantino's favorite... " sneaky, well done.
Half the freakin’ budget of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood went to Leo and Brad. Lmao
Surprisingly, a bit less than that. Leo and Pitt got $10mil each. But yeah, over 20% of the budget’s still no joke.
It paid off though both Leo and Brad were just amazing in the movie
To be honest everyone did a great job, I don‘t think that Tarantino accepts anything less than that 😂
