@@Kareragirl If it is incredible there are several videos and interviews of them talking about their favorite movies and you can see that they really not only direct for money but also for the love they have for the cinema, when they talk about their influences or movies that they like they get so excited Like a 9 year old boy opening a gift that Santa Claus brought him. It's just amazing that there are people like that who really love their work and Scorsese and Tarantino are movie buffs with capital letters.
Once Tarantino finishes his last film, I really hope he ends up starting a youtube/podcast series, I could listen to this guy talk about movies forever
Notice when he said at right at the end ( got a crush on her part ), is kind of sped up & awkwardly ended. Hmmm, what's happening in here Quentin ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
As a born and bred Hongkonger, there’s a sense of pride hearing an esteemed director like Quentin talking about Hong Kong movies with such passion. Some of these movies I have not even seen!
(which he started to do grudgingly, arms crossed... until he became totally engrossed in the movie, with a childlike smile of awe at witnessing an incredible - and totally unexpected - work of art)
@@romilrh Yeah, I just had to complete an imaginary scenario that popped into my mind, although I just can't quite make out the voice doing the narration. Although I can tell you it ain't Ron Howard and it ain't Morgan Freeman.
One of my favorite movies. The chemistry between Tony Leung and Faye Wong was amazing. BTW, Tarantino understates Faye's praises...she is the most popular and prolific Canto/Mando Pop singer ever...well, maybe a tie with WeiWei.
It seems to me that Tarantino's form of high praise for Faye was calling her the most popular "rockstar" of her time, the "Madonna of Mandarin." These remain to be pop culture high praises even to today's standards.
I personally think that "Fallen Angels" is even better. Especially visually due to Doyle's cinematography + I prefer contract killers over police officers. They are more mysterious characters.
he is so in love with movies...his entusiasm is infecting..if people like qt´s movies or not-he make his mark in movie history and had huge influence on film making.its an befor pupl fiction and after..he is loved and hated and he does what he does and he loves what he does-thats the most important part.i love that guy and his flicks-never forget the hype and the thrill about pulp fiction,and then i watched it and it was even better..i mean the sounds..the quotes,the cast,teh scrpt,the acting..I dont undertstand ho anybody cannot see the qulity and uniqness in his filmmaking-tehre is so mush love for the movies-im very happy thhis guy showed up and switched hollywood upside down.i enjoyed almost evry minute of any movie he made..and boy-the dialouges are written so good..so funny and cool and entertaining,and natural..mindblowing..he did some of the best Soundtracks in movie history..ok i stop :) Im a Fan,yes :)
One thing I like about him Quentin is really a nerd about movies he doenst have that pretentious classy hollywood director vibe he is basically a guy who saw lots and lots of movies understood and appreciated the art and became a director cuz he loves the art
Without Tarantino I would not have discovered Hong Kong movies. Thank you for introducing to the world this great hidden art form. Even though the more recent movies are not as great as the 80s and 90s they are still better than most of Hollywood’s garbage. Wong kar wai and John woos work are simply the best of all time.
"Hidden art form". Bro, Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee put HK cinema on the map way earlier than Tarantino and despite him. But, I apologise if by HK movies, you mean films like Chungking Express, etc. , and the directors you named.
I don't know why it's so enjoyable to just watch him talking. He's so natural and authentic. I would never think seeing this that this would be one of the greatest film directors of all time if I didn't know who he was
Watched the film years ago! It was one of the most original movies made up to date. Nothing predictable about it but every moment of the film was captivating.
Quentin imparted his knowledge of Hong Kong films that even Hongkongers (At the time) are hard to appreciate. Mainstream Hong Kong cinema in the late 80s and early 90s centered around big name actors and genre specific movies like the Mo Lei Tau comedy of Stephen Chow which always pour in big box office money to the studio. Or comedy action of Jackie Chan , and of course the ubiquitous cinema of Andy Lau
Why are people so pretentious and egocentrics ? Seriously,are some of you so offended that Quentin promotes Wong's movies? Even if you don't like his movies,why that has to do with him being one of the best movie historians and movie buffs that is alive today? Also he is a fantastic director. And personally,i think he is one of the fewest directors that is so open minded,such a enthusiastic figure when it comes to promoting other peoples work!!! And about Wong kar wai,what can be said more: the man's a genius!!! Favorite movies from him:Fallen angels(fantastic atmosphere) and also As tears go by-i love the atmosphere of 90's hong kong
put tarantino in 70s or 80s in different culture and u will get fantastic movies...It is normal that he is corrupted by america's need for brainfarts...Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece...He is somehow not enlightned enough to make artisticly great movies,but he definetly understand's it
Just watched the film on MUBI and am in love with the sound and the stories and the love. Immediately watched this video after and will be watching a lot more. Thanks Quentin!
At the very beginning of "Chungking Express," during the credits, she's the woman with the paper bag over her head. Later she's wearing the blonde wig.
I personally think that "Fallen Angels" is even better. Especially visually due to Doyle's cinematography + I prefer contract killers over police officers. They are more mysterious characters.
The shots of the safehouse are enigmatic. Beautiful smoking scenes, connection in loneliness as a theme, but overall great acting and cinematography really make everything in the movie such a classic.
i totally agree - i just watched both movies back to back for the first time and i was honestly so much more immersed into fallen angels. i found the way that the 2 plots intertwined throughout the film, and met at the end, was fascinating
I remember back when the Rolling Thunder video release of Chungking Express dropped from Tarantino. I was just out of high school and working in a video store. I never understood why he didn't follow it up with Fallen Angels. Would have been a nice one-two punch. I've been a WKW fan forever, and Fallen Angels is my favorite film of his to this day.
such an extensive knowledge of movies. A director i only HEARD about today and of course hes seen all of the movies and knows all the cast and the directors descisions
to be fair wong kar wai is one of the most important directors of modern cinema. at the time of this video he was already incredibly critically acclaimed worldwide so a fellow director knowing about him is kind of to be expected.
@@yeahmanforeva yeah lol I'd literally only just heard of him the day i commented that, I now realise the extent of his influence after watching all of his films lmao
video starts -wait, Tarantino is tilted. a few seconds later -wait, he isn't tilted anymore! I didn't even notice it. another few minutes -he is tilted again! How can I not notice it!
Just here to be the 400th comment and say that I was surprised that Quentin reviewed this movie so intensively (i assume) purely for our entertainment. Very informed and interesting review that made me like him way more as a person (and both see and respect him as a knowledgeable talking head in cinema) than watching any of his movies ever has. Very surprised also with how entertaining his manner of speech is and how witty, intelligent and an overall culturally aware and knowledgeable he sounds. I assumed him to be way more of a self assured pompous prick SPF from Portugal :)
Watch the sequel (kind of) Fallen Angels ...it's like the other side of this coin. Wong Kar Wai is one of my favorite directors ever. In the Mood for love was amazing too.
I had forgotten about this - but QT had a series of affordable VHS versions of obscures/imports with the intros/outros, I had this one and a few others. Wonder where they are now.
I can totally see whole generations growing up on Uncle Quentin's film reviews and documentaries on films. He could become the Mr. Rodgers of film review because he's already the Tarantino of movie making!

Read his book
In nowadays he would be a great vlogger.

I mean, he literally looks like Casey Neistat let's be honest
of course he'd be a good vlogger, he's an award winning director??
nah, he would be an award winning director either way. It’s insulting and ridiculous to equate him to the level of a vlogger lmao
9:03 "I don't know anybody who has seen this film who hasn't got a crush on her" SPITTING FACTS
I don't. I think it's a decent film, but I didn't like her at all.

@@UranusAnalyst it's other side of Quentin ❤️
She's astoundingly beautiful in this film, just as Michelle Reis in "Fallen Angels"

Probably an homage or tribute to the song or era itself!

+Rhys Parsons lol yh especially him being at an angle for no apparent reason
nah, 00s
Your comment is so Pre 2019. HAH
in 2000 I made fun about the 90's, until recently, i think 90's was so much fun and so much cooler than 2000's and 2010's..
love how the dutch angle makes me feel kind of high while watching this
Shout out to the boom mic staying visible throughout the video
Doron Tsur I thought it was very avant garde.
where is it?
@@pedropimenta4568 Top left. It comes in every once in awhile. Not visible much.
He has a crazy encyclopedic knowledge of all cinema.
One of my favorite movies. The chemistry between Tony Leung and Faye Wong was amazing. BTW, Tarantino understates Faye's praises...she is the most popular and prolific Canto/Mando Pop singer ever...well, maybe a tie with WeiWei.
It shout be noted that this interview is over 20 years old. So while she was still a huge star, it would have been hard to predict her staying power.
It seems to me that Tarantino's form of high praise for Faye was calling her the most popular "rockstar" of her time, the "Madonna of Mandarin." These remain to be pop culture high praises even to today's standards.
One of my fave films. Wong Kar-wai seemed to capture the essence of what it feels like to fall in love (to me). Love tarentinos review.
agree wkw/christopher doyle is sick!
Never fell in love, but that's how I imagine it would be
@@withnail-and-i it is like this
guess thats why it is one of the best movies ever.
Christopher Doyle plays a huge role in Wong Kar Wei movies.
+tallaganda83 Yeah he is Awesome. He done a new Movie with Khavn (Ruined Heart). It was very nice.

Yes! His cinematography is to die for
@@TonyRedgrave1501 for me i like both, hand in hand

One thing I like about him Quentin is really a nerd about movies he doenst have that pretentious classy hollywood director vibe he is basically a guy who saw lots and lots of movies understood and appreciated the art and became a director cuz he loves the art
The funniest thing I know is Tarantino saying: "Hi, I`m back" at 01:35. With his jacket and his face. Cracks me up.
taking the dutch angle to a whole new level
Wong Kar Wai films are all worth watching. My faves are Fallen Angels, Days Of Being Wild, In The Mood For Love, & 2046.
His enthusiasm is infectious.
why is the camera still but Quentin looks like he's being rotated constantly
it's to keep you focused, human attention automatically stays on when there's a move
He’s in front of a green screen.
The movie has weird rotation as well...I guess he wanted to give that feel as well 👍

At the very beginning of "Chungking Express," during the credits, she's the woman with the paper bag over her head. Later she's wearing the blonde wig.
Her name is Brigitte Lin. A retired Taiwanese actress.
What makes Tarantino the GOAT is his movie knowledge and his love for HK movies.
What is up with the camera moving around and zooming in. At the end Tarantino is literally sitting diagonally.

i love it when he kind of blushes when he talks about the resemblance between Nana and Mia
I remember, when I was running a few video stores, being super excited when these "Rolling Thunder presents" movies got released... on VHS! :)
According to TH-cam subtitles, 'Wong Kar Wai' goes by 'One car wise'.
This guy has a good energy, I wonder if he has a TH-cam channel or something
I was also thinking about this. But he becomes a director instead of a TH-camr. Crap.
Happy Together and In The Mood are my favorite of his films.
video starts
-wait, Tarantino is tilted.
a few seconds later
-wait, he isn't tilted anymore! I didn't even notice it.

-he is tilted again! How can I not notice it!
not only he talks about movies but he makes sure that everybody can understand him. the fucking goat
Just watched the film and found this video... And Quentin you are absolutely correct man✌🏼
Gotta give it to him. Quentin knows film and is passionate

There's passion in his voice.
Watch the sequel (kind of) Fallen Angels ...it's like the other side of this coin. Wong Kar Wai is one of my favorite directors ever. In the Mood for love was amazing too.
I bet he was ordered to give a 2 to 3 min insight but quentin being quentin, took him 11 min
I had forgotten about this - but QT had a series of affordable VHS versions of obscures/imports with the intros/outros, I had this one and a few others. Wonder where they are now.

QT does not sound like he's a fan of Ashes of Time ... I love that movie, a visual feast with a very cryptic story full of philosophical nuances !
The Best thing about QT is that he loves foreign films, his fans should too
