At no time Tarantino said Fincher is the best director. Tarantino is not a liar.
*At no time Tarantino said Fincher is the best director.*
how do we know you wont STEAL our script? lol no thanks
Even though Fincher doesn’t necessarily write his movies, he most certainly has a voice. His movies are incredibly distinctive.
thats what hes sayin
Yes, as he said. The clip is only a few seconds long. I didn’t forget.
@@bobbyhace You must’ve forgotten. Because that’s not what he is saying.
@@user-dq8jb3qy4t No, it’s not…? Watch the clip again, maybe?
And Tarantino is an incredibly overrated writer. Fincher grabs what speaks to him, which is part of “his voice”..
He's right. A writer-director starts from zero, nothing. But a good directory, one with a "real voice", talks with images. And it's not easy to keep that "real voice".
I like his work but he definitely does not start from nothing he uses a lot of movies for “inspiration”
@@nick2788 that's not the point. Obviously every writer, director, artist has his inspiration. He's talking about the fact that a screenwriter/director start from a blank page. A director start from something: a written screenplay. But , as I said, it's not easy to direct a movie and talk with images.
I don’t think it discredits a director if he doesn’t write his own movies. I feel like Martin Scorsese is a much stronger director than Quentin because of this in fact
@@OrangeJungle Honostly I have more respect for people who create their own stuff but I still respect the greats regardless. I just find it more incredible for someone to sit down from nothing but their imagination and what they've seen and create something brilliant
@@Cander617 heard that. Another thing about story telling is not just telling original stories, but also retelling stories so that they last throughout time.
David Fincher is an amazing director
So is Jilambu Mustafa and Alibaba Rahim from gyros-R-us fame!
agreed 100%. Even though I understand what Tarantino is saying, I think Fincher is a terrible example of a Director “without a voice.” Without being a writer involved he somehow makes a movie feel like his (generally themes of nihilism) no matter plot or subject.
What’s so amazing about directing? Stop falling for the bs Hollywood sells you.
@@Jack-ot2uw wow you're dumb...
@@Jack-ot2uw Go back to your hole hating the world bro, no one asked you.
TH-cam been throwing tarantino shorts at me all day
Fr
Can't complain
Right?
Same that's why .... sometimes I also want to be director some day.....like Scorcese Tarantino Kubrick
I hope their clean
Quentin Tarantino really really loves Quentin Tarantino.
Yeah seriously. This was by far the douchiest thing I’ve seen him say.
Yes...and hes got reason to also
Well he literally earned his ego 🤷🏾♂️. I don’t love arrogant egotistical twats but if you are a brilliant writer and filmmaker like Tarantino then you have a right to brag haha
He backs it up
You couldn't be more wrong. Quentin Tarantino loves cinema with a passion and that's what's going on here.
Even so, you can tell when it's a Fincher film. He is a master of the craft and a perfectionist. Every frame can literally be framed. Gets the best from his actors and his photographer and creates, with such a precise, technical but unique, etc.--- vibe, I guess we should call it. He's not quite a Kubrick or Scorsese (both wrote some but mostly directed), but Fincher is very close.
Then there are the QTs and PTAs of the world. And God bless both of them. The best two American screenwriters AND directors of their generation.
Coen Brothers?
@@robertroman6214 Huge, huge fan. You're right; it's definitely an omission, and yeah, they deserve to be up there with Quentin and Paul... I guess I'm just not AS MUCH of a fan of their whole filmography. Don't get me wrong, Raising Arizona and O Brother are two of my favorite comedies, while Barton Fink, NCFOM, and Fargo are nearly flawless dramas/thrillers. With PTA, though, for example, I love each of his films on a personal level-- some more than others, sure, but I find his versatility in the medium and how he has evolved over the years to be remarkable. He deserves just a little more notoriety. Then again, he doesn't make "event films" like QT. I don't know, man. I love film, and these auteurs don't grow on trees. I gotta say this, too, though: God bless A24.
My favorite shot in any film ever is from the opening of zodiac where the car turns the corner and perfectly lines up with the street car cables, such a tiny unnecessary detail but Fincher probably tortured the crew with 758 takes until they got it perfectly right lol
PT?
@@ZoiusGM Paul Thomas Naderson I assume
I can recognize Fincher and Scorsese movies within 2 minutes.
Yeah, since the dude has directed 8 films...not hard. Lmao, hype beasting.
i can recognize Tarantino film within 2s
@@6EndlessNameless9 Yeah you just gotta keep a lookout for those feet shots.
@@harvestcrops3983you’re momma gay
Spielberg too just because of his steady camera movement and use of sunlight.
Fincher definitely has a voice. His visual mastery of filmmaking is second to none.
He does not because he is not primarily a writer. Style is not the same as voice.
@@bighands69 He has a very strong point of view based off the material he chooses to do and the way that he treats it. Look closer. He's not a Ridley Scott or Danny Boyle.
@@markroden9968
What do you mean he is not Scott or Boyle?
@@bighands69 Let me put this is more easy to understand terms. Would you say Hitchcock is an auteur with a voice? Pretty sure everyone can agree he is one. Hitchcock was not a writer/director. Or how about Kubrick? He had co-writers on most of his films. It's not a mutually exclusive thing. I agree most writer/directors have more of a voice because they control the material from start to finish, especially if they are high profile but there are many exceptions to the rule. And there are writer directors that just do work for hire and do not maintain a coherent voice throughout all their work.
@@markroden9968 The difference is, Fincher has never written or co-written anything. Literally anything. He's not on the same level. Fincher needs a good writer or his films can't be good, no matter his style. Panic Room is a mediocre movie at best, for example. Most of his best moments are due to good writing done by others. That's not to say the films he has worked on aren't good but he's closer to the group of Boyle and Scott than to the group of Tarantino and Anderson.
I wanna see him as “quagmire” in a real life family guy movie lol
Bruh 💀
🤣🤣
Giggity
Why is that so perfect? He’s the only guy I could see saying all quagmires quips in a realistic setting 😂 “alllright”
Shit, never saw that.
As someone who writes novels, 100% it feels like you're at the bottom of Mt Everest looking at that blank page. That's the absolute best way to describe it.
How many novels have you written?
Never start with a blank page, let the concept gesate in your head for awhile and write notes, i usually have 30 odd pages of notes ready before i start writing actual material
Oh! Okay! I certainly wasn’t gonna take this work-a-day filmmaker’s word for it so I’m so blessed that the illustrious, @amandataebby has spoken down to us from high up on that majestic peak we call Everest. Folks, I was in a quandary! I kept asking myself, “Is that the absolute best way to describe it?” I felt the foundations of all my most cherished values and beliefs beginning to crumble. Now I realize Mr. Tarantino has made a handful of modestly received pictures; but I needed the type of validation that can only come from someone who writes novels. Thank you dear, sweet scribe; thank you! ✍️
@@nonono9194true
@@KahlessTheUnforgettableSo, you confected all that conspicuously clever snark just to tell us that you implicitly take the word of a massively successful artist, and can safely troll the opinions of a *writer* you don't know, and belittle their creative endeavour.
Given what was said in the clip (you're across that, I know, but humour me), what do you think Tarantino (who, btw, watched and learned from a lot of unsuccessful films) would have to say about all that?
I'm not big on Tarantino or his movies, though I have seen some of them, but I could listen to him talk about making movies for hours. Just how passionate the guy is. You have to admire it.
Too bad. He has some of the best movies ever made
Why don't you like his films?
I can't say I don't like them at all. I think reservoir dogs is a pretty good film. I'm not really bit into movies, so you can't really take my opinion as anything that matters. I really like Quentin as a person though because he says what he means and stands up for what he believes. Combine that with his passion for his craft and how in the hell can you not like the guy?
@@1983mikechan Not really
@@robertofigueroa9711 ok bud
Fincher’s voice is loud and clear. It’s amazing.
Mank was a dud.
@@varvarvarvarvarvar so was the killer. Felt like anyone could have made those films
George a romero was a writer director and he turned out some amazing films on low bùdgets. RIP GEORGE
The hard part isn’t actually writing for days. The hard part is giving your all to the story, characters, details, to make your story come alive and doing that over and over again is extremely taxing on your mental health!
As a writer I can say that after finishing a novel a piece of you dies forever, a piece of your soul leaves you and never comes back. It can be very frustrating, but it always can bring you satisfaction and make you feel proud of you have just created. Philip Roth said that writing is hell, starting every time a new story and going through all the process is often a nightmarish trip.
@@StudioSerious1starting my stories isn't emotionally tough but finishing them and saying that's the end is so hard for me to do it's childish but that's how I feel about finalizing my stories
I've been going through all his interviews lately and it's amazing how many jewels he drops for free. When I was a kid I was obsessed with him and since it was before you could just hop on TH-cam I had to go buy all his biographies and screenplays. It's kind of cool to be able to just pull up endless interviews of him. He explains his process in a tangible way that most artists either can't or don't.
Do you have any specific interviews or videos you recommend?
“One of the best directors of my generation is David Fincher… but I’m better”
Quentin Tarantino
😂😂
haha
Not at all what he said but ok.
@@Taradhishyou really don’t detect any air of inherent superiority woven in there lol
He is so up his own ass
Don’t lose your uniqueness, your P.O.V, “voice”. 💯
This actually describes most of the many artists, regardless of medium.
Just realized that all those rants in his movies..... Those are prolly Quentin's internal musings
when you use words like prolly… It’s just over.
lol yes 😂 That's what it's about, his opinions. He's like an observational comic
Probably? Obviously. They're all in his voice. Where else would they come from?
@@corradoYou’re grammar policing him but you’re typing in all lowercase like a teenaged girl. Lmao yeah it’s just over for you
@@Widembois What do you mean *all* lowercase? You can clearly see that the I in "It's" is capitalized. It's just over for you
When I say, “Tarantino is among only a handful of true living auteurs in Hollywood”, I mean it.
I’m glad to have “discovered” him at the beginning. After watching Reservoir Dogs in the theater, I was like, “who wrote that amazing dialog?” Imagine my surprise to discover, the same guy, wrote, directed, and acted in this brilliant film. I knew, we were at the cusp of the career of a true genius.
wow can't believe you quoted your own famous quote that you say all the time and confirmed that you mean it. amazing news.
I still reckon George Miller is possibly one of the most underrated directors ever
Babe is a master piece
@@ok_jaja Babe was brilliant. Top childhood movie right there.
@@ok_jaja wait what the fuck? A famous director did Babe? What else has he done?
@@hubflower5433 Mad Max
Not underrated at all.
*I love watching his interviews*
*It's always a teachable moment*
Except Fincher doesn’t lose his voice. He’s a master. Period.
I know most people were young and thought lemme actually write a movie it doesn’t look that hard. Than you get two sentences in and your like holy shit what type of time and patience do these people have.
Edit: I’m and aspiring rapper named “Raquin/KingRaquin” show some love 🙏🏽 this some of the most feedback I’ve ever gotten 🤣🤣 (thank you to those to replied back and liked)
It’s absurd the amount of small and large moving pieces in an entire manuscript. Imagine trying to keep the reader/viewer entertained and engaged minute to minute while also maintaining character relationships, world building, realistic dialogue, etc. It’s insane
@@thecrimsonkid3574 not to mention, writing a screenplay is drastically different from writing a novel because there are so many other things to consider. Budget, film length, how something could be done, exactly how the pacing works, show don’t tell (books can get away with copious amounts of dialogue, but films have to consider wether to tell the audience something or show it visually). Some screenplays are roughly a page a minute but others have drastically different page counts to their length, even if nothing has been cut.
That’s why it’s more important to understand and try to learn story for as long as possible before writing anything. The story should really be able to be plotted in your head. Actually writing it out it is literally then just that .
Stephen king mastered storytelling at a very young age and is not necessarily being creative when he is then doing the writing. It is like the difference between planning a house and building the house. If you had to plan what you were doing with the house every single time you went to go put a nail in you would never get anything done.
If you have a plan and you know exactly what you are doing, and you can be extremely efficient in the process, then something very very complicated becomes an even enjoyable process.
But that is then really just step one because what are you actually going to do with that power and understanding now that you know that process? Tons of people call them selves filmmakers and know that process but really suck at storytelling, and many great storytellers give up on mastering the process.
you have to have the passion and love for cinema that quinten has.
Coke speeds time, boys. 😐
Guy Richie is always on my mind. Snatch is a MasterPiece, and recommended to everyone. Movies like Boondock Saints and Four Brothers are amazing, but they're just not as crispy. QT is a Beast aswell.
Recently watched snatch for the first time, one of the best and funniest movies I've ever seen
two barrels is sick too
@@clkgtr12 thanks, I'll give it a watch
@@clkgtr12 Yes Sir
@@SistemaOperativoIncantato Yeah, it's great. Snatch originally began as the extra ideas Guy Richie had left over from Lock Stock; so you'll probably love it as it's very much the same style/feel as Snatch.
tarantino indirectly always gives himself compliments in whatever answer he gives in interviews.
He’s ripped off everyone and still has the balls to knock Fincher for not writing his own movies.
Exactly, I always considered video club boy as somewhat of a movie VJ: he basically takes things he liked from some movies and paste it into one of his overindulgent childish fantasies that are probably fueled by too many bong hits.
David Fincher is on a whole other level. I rather watch one of his flawless adaptations over the pastiche Tarantino usually sign as an "original work". Fincher is at Scorcese level: true, old school cinema. Not that gory crap Tarantino and his Mexican pal direct, wasting a great cast. Fincher squeezes Oscar-worthy performances from his actors; Tarantino bastardizes their talent just to put them outside their comfort zone and the idiot thinks that has some sort of value.
These are some of the best words I have ever heard.
Quentin Tarantino,
by all means, has a voice, too.
Right here. ▶️
Thank goodness for an interviewer
and/or an editor that can *listen*.
Great, now i want a Fincher movie written by Tarantino
every body is searching, looking ready to believe in anything but its so refreshing to find someone who knows what they want hands off tarantino
Fincher hasn’t lost his artistic voice. Quent just wants to justify writing and directing because he likes stuff his way. But Fincher hasn’t lost his voice and if he thinks he did, maybe a proper q-tipping is in order.
He wasn't talking about Fincher. He was saying "Other Writer-Directors". He said he loved Fincher, but they don't do the same thing. I think he was basically saying his job is harder. I'm not sure. I had to watch it again, cause I thought he was talking about him specifically aswell.
Nice try loser. Tarantino is the man and fisher or whatever his name is, is not on his level.
@@KrowKnow From what I understood it sounds like he dismisses every director that doesn’t write their own movies on account of their voice being diminished over time. That’s a LOT of directors to hoist oneself over and sweep under the rug. I like Quentin but sometimes he gets too high on his own supply. Hateful 8 was great, but nowhere near as good as Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill.
@@Superfrostman15 get help lol grown man-boy embarrassing yourself online fanboying over a director so hard while you don’t even know who he was talking about
@@aleksoctop Yeah I hear you there. I didn't really notice till now, but he does idolize himself a bit. Thanks. My head was up Qts ass lol
One of the greats of our time. This man's a cinema genius. So many layers to his films.
Damn needed to hear this.
Very true. His insignia shines through every film he makes ✌🏼💜🙏🏼
He is the Quentin Tarantino at the top of his creative game. And, if he himself said it is hard to go that blank page, it is really hard.
Quentin is such a savage because he's absolutely an artist first...... unapologetically so. That's not only rare in todays Hollywood......... it's damn near extinct.
Cheers from Northern California Quentin....... if you ever read this..... which 999/1000 you won't...... take heart dude...... there's people out here that get you. We get your movies. And they're fucking fantastic. Keep being you.
I can name so many unapologetic artists that are making movies right now. It's not extinct.
@@deathbyslipknotlol no
as an aspiring Writer/Director, I felt that when he said you're at the bottom of Mt Everest every time cause it really is like that. You're sitting there wishing you're making a masterpiece until you hit a mental roadblock and you have to either start over or take long ass break 🥲
Quentin you're a very unique individual, and how you came up with the story for Inglorious Basterds is impressive
Out of the 8-9 movies he has written and directed 4 of them have won OSCARS. 1 Oscar for Pulp Fiction for Screenplay. 2 Oscars for Christolph Waltz as Best Supporting Actor in Django & Inglorious Basterds and another Oscar for Brad Pitt for Best supporting actor in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Tarantino is 1 of the BEST Storytellers & Directors💯🔥👌🏽
Harder doesm't equal better. David fincher has a clear voice in his films.
Benjamin button lolololol
Every time I hear QT talk, his delivery is no different to his character essence in his Pulp Fiction cameo. He just doesn't mince his words. He kicks ass and says it how it is. He is fucking clever.
So many of his films are among my all time favourites! Pulp Fiction is an absolute masterpiece and the fact i could easily put 4 of his movies in my top 10 is testament to his genius
A good directors voice shows through. Fincher's definitely does
“One of the most talented filmmakers of my generation is me, Quentin Tarantino” - All of us
✌🏼💜🙏🏼
I’m thinking more and more that Tarantino is the most talented person in filmmaking history. I mean first of all the consistency with his films and also the fact that he writes as well as directs everything he does.
Not even top 10
@@alexbirch4616 every one of his movies is critically acclaimed. It just feels like you're hating rather than sharing an opinion. No hate I don't need you to agree with me variety is the spice of life. but name 10 directors you know off the top of your head.
@@StankFrengus Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, Danny Boyle, James Cameron, Stanley Kubrick, the Coen brothers and Alfred Hitchcock at their best would all be up there with him in my opinion.
@@criert135 a lot of them don’t write as well as direct. In terms of directing Tarantino would not be top but the fact the he writes as well puts him up there:
watch world cinema
As far as my favorite directors go, Tarantino, Scorsese, Fincher, Ritchie, Tony Scott, they all have a very unique style. My favorite example is True Romance, written by QT, but directed by Tony Scott. That movie does not look like a QT movie, but when Tony Scott told QT he should take over for the Walken/Hopper 10 minute dialogue, that is a QT scene through and through. And even not knowing who wrote or directed this movie, you would always guess right because both their styles ooze from the screen and it's beautiful.
David Fincher should direct a Tarantino screenplay!
Tarantino has said he wouldn’t want someone else directing his screenplays. He writes with the intent of directing what he writes. True Romance and Natural Born Killers were ways for him to further break into the industry in the 90s, and From Dusk Till Dawn was specifically for one of his closest friends Robert Rodriguez. That’s that.
@@RShadow12 If he really only makes 10 movies i could see him write a script for someone else to direct.
@@FreedomCinema88 No, Tarantino has already said that he has no interest in writing for other people. After his 10th film, he’s said he’s just going to be working in television, writing novels, and writing plays.
Damn, I like this guy and everything he says and does. Mainly because he believes in himself and what's right, and he STICKS TO IT!
This is why he's only done like 7 or 8 movie's. Hard to come up with a knew story on your own every single time. Humans are only so creative after all.
Quality over quantity they say.
I guess that’s why spielberg, scorsese, and alfred hitchcock have so many movies because somebody else writes them.
I feel lucky to grow up watching Tarantino movies. Reservoir Dogs came out when I was 12 and I’ve been a fan ever since
When I was in a band, it was very easy for me to put melody to my friends' lyrics. but when he had to do the lyrics, i was completely blocked. i cant even imagine making a movie
Nobody can make a film like QT. He is one of the modern greats.
All directors should be writer-directors, and all singers should be singer-songwriters. These things were never meant to be separate.
I mean that’s just not true. If all directors were writer-directors, then there would be no writers; who would make their movies? Steven Spielberg isn’t a credit writer on most of his movies. His vision and voice is so distinct.
Good directors aren't necessarily good writers and vice versa.
That's such bullshit. Hyper individualistic nonsense. Should directors handle the cinematography, score and the 100s of other jobs on a film too? Should Quentin Tarantino craft the visual effects for his films? Art is often collaborative and that's a beautiful thing.
This guy's mannerism and the way he talks would make him a great actor as well, not just behind the camera. (Ik he has had cameos but I mean real full roles)
Absolutely brilliant insight 👏 🙌
Facts! I'm sure it gets harder with each movie, especially when you're previous one was great or your previous 7 were great. Lot of pressure. Everything will be compared to your previous work.
Love him or hate him, you have to tip your hat to Woody Allen for writing and directing 49 films, as well as starring in most of them.
"it's gone away." Excellent point.
Precisely why Woody Allen is the greatest hiker in American movies. 40 films, 1 per year, all written and directed by him. Argue about the quality but the effort is astounding.
The only reason there are so many writer/directors is because it's hard to get anyone to read your first script so you shoot it yourself! This was true for Tarantino as well.
Tarantino never starts from zero. He draws a lot from other movies, either the pitch, or character arcs or whole scenes... That had to be said.
Agreed 👍 I came to the comments to say this too
Every writer ever does that
@@leonconnelly5303 that's absolutely not true that EVERY writer does it, and certainly not in the scope that Tarantino does it. He is the champion of that.
crazy take fincher absolutely has a clear artistic voice
It's like a sculptor buying a block of granite from an artisan granite seller, versus being well acquainted with high quality granite, and gathering it yourself before sculpting.
Fincher is a rebel and always challenging the status quo. His filmmaking process always begins with extensive research and preparation, although he has said the process is different every time. Like Kubrick, Fincher is a perfectionist and has a meticulous eye for detail. He performs thorough research when casting actors to ensure their suitability for the part.
The same thing even applies to Christopher Nolan. He has written and directed all his movies sometimes himself or with his brother.
Nolan is a better filmmaker than Tarantino could ever dream of being tbh.
@@dr.s8972 HA

Damn 😢 this was powerful!!!
TAKES LONGER BUT ITS BETTER TO DO IT YOURSELF 🙏
That's not right for every director though. It's just his way to be a writer director. Fincher is an amazing filmmaker and clearly he is doing the right method for him and his movies.
Quentin, as always, makes a very wise insight here. Quality, not quantity, is obviously of utmost importance to him.
Some filmmakers "voice" is their writing. Other filmmaker's "voice" is their visuals. Each plays to their own strengths and nobody's perfect.
And honestly, some QT movies could benefit from a rewrite to better enhance his "voice" or vision - Django, OUATIH, Kill Bill (see James Rolfe cut), come to mind.
Is there any way to actually watch the Rolfe cut?
@@noobkin997 No, he hasn't released (leaked) it and its unlikely he ever will. Its for private screening for him and his buddies only. The wish is that QT sees James' description of the cut in his 20 minute video, asks to see it, gets impressed and gives it an official release - Kill Bill: The Rolfe Cut or Kill Bill: The Cinemassacre Cut
@@AndroidCovenant I saw a reddit thread about that cut and someone had posted a link which got removed by mods. Makes me think it might be out there somewhere on private trackers or something.
Tarintino is better then fincher visually lol
Quentin’s writing can go toe to toe with Sorkin’s dialogue imo
Lots of directors, like Fincher, express their voice in other ways besides writing. You can always tell a shot from a David Fincher movie, even without being told.
sure but in the end, the story, the turning points, the inciting incident, crisis, climax, resolution, characters, text, dialogue, exposition, dilemmas etc. you like in his movies belong to the writer, not him. you cant hold him the author of the film. for ex social network belongs more to sorkin than fincher.
whereas Tarantino is purely the author of his films, unless counting jackie brown which belongs to elmore leonard.
@@AnkitSharma-qm7sg Everything you just mentioned is refined and brought together by Fincher. Directing and editing IS part of writing the story.
@@deathbyslipknot true but story/script is the first/primary author. all i am sayin bruh.
Nah what about Benjamin Button
@@deathbyslipknotwhat
He’s absolutely correct, they’re not in the same category. I can actually sit through a David Fincher movie for more than 6 mins without rolling my eyes at the dialogue.
It is quite a strange point of view to consider himself as a blank writer as 100% of his movies are referenced
Was thinking the same
This guy nails it, not only in cellulose but in philosophy..💝😎
This is why I'm writing all of my films first. Then I'll make them all over the course of a decade of absolute GLORY. Praise QT.
He is 100% absolutely right.
Why did Fincher make Mank?
I really hope this isn't rhetorical otherwise I'm an idiot for taking the bate, the script is by his late father, I think he worked in the press and after he had retired wanted some sort of writing challenge and David Fincher suggested he try his hand in screenwriting, the subject matter, Citizen Kane, the time period etc were his father's fascinations with movies & while the Jack Fincher got notes on the first draft he wrote from David, I think the movie is still based on the second draft or atleast the one David had difficulty getting made in the 90s
@@lithantushelo7932 yeah I heard the script was from his father who passed away but didn't knew this part of the story.
Shit film lol
Epitome of the backhanded compliment!😂🤭
I wonder if he ever gets tired of knowing everything?
Oh my god. You guys, I doubt Tarantino would say that Fincher doesn't have a directorial voice. And you don't need to make that comment when 50 others have already.
this is what's wrong with video games now
Guy Ritchie.
I love how even today, you can almost immediately tell a movie Guy Ritchie wrote from one he only directed.
He's right you know. Not disrespecting Fincher and his great work, but pointing facts.
christopher nolan
This applies to life. The more things you do by yourself the better things turn out in the long term as you are more independent, you get things done exactly how you want them too and your confidence leads you to discover even more passions that you would've never discovered if you hadn't chosen to be the creator you are💎
too obsessed with his own voice. the voice is for the characters.
That he creates? His voice...
to begin with, hes being metaphoric, and hell yea the director voice matters, it sets the mood, the style, the narration, the frames, even the music, the way the psychological setting unfolds, and when you do it right you get a bunch of cool movies with a signature style without it being too obvious and monotonous, just like Tarantino has done since the beginning. Im not saying theres not any other good ones, and im not saying Finchers bad or whatever, not at all, but Tarantino has proven that his voice is essential.
And no, character voices can be dangerous cause the actor can fall on the fallacy of himself becoming a character, turning himself into a cliche, the same character in different settings, a mediocre display of the same act again and again.
Are you taking that word literally?
I feel the same happened to Jordan Peele. What Tarantino described ‘nothing that you wrote before is going to help you, in fact it might just hang over your head’. After Get Out Peele really had to try to make something different, yet meet expectations, and Us kind of got him stuck in a typecast director for a specific sort of movie. But then Nope he showed everyone how different he could do it, tell a completely different sort of story, different sort of narrative or themes and characters. And now i think he really has every pathway in front of him
I think the Cohen Brothers have an amazing dynamic because of their work together.
One of the best movie directors ever! Quintin is simply genius!
Man, Tarantino knows his shit!! I learnt so much in just this short video. I never thought that he actually writes his own movies, and how much work that it is. A lot of respect. Sometimes I thought he was too clever but he is clever.
I don't know why, but I absolutely adore Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.. It's an incredible movie, Fincher, Craig, and Mara knocked it out of the park
Tarantino’s commentary is always so interesting!
Everything he said was true. Tarantino is serious bro. One of the best to ever do it. Point blank.
You can see 1 min of any random clip of any Fincher movie and you will recognise it instantly. I agree the art of writing something, let alone a movie script, is one of the most painful things to do.
This man represents me in every new architectural project I start.
Maybe I don’t agree with how he said it but honestly that confidence is what makes some people stick out. Gotta respect it.
Kubrick had a voice that never went away until he did.
David Fincher is so fucking good. Love this short!
He has a point, but chose a bad example in regards to “losing his voice”.
Tarantino is a charming heirloom.
Fincher is a Swiss watch.
