I'd love to know what he thinks of Wind River, Annihilation, Bad Times at the El Royale, Copshop, The Northman, The Killer and Killers of the Flower Moon.
The finale of the fireworks and the murder is amazing. And then Travolta's look when he puts the murder scream into his audio edit. It really is a VERY underrated movie....
Been a fan of Blow Out ever since it came out. So many different inspirations DePalma remixed in the film. Suspense meets political thriller meets the craft of filmmaking within a film. Should have been bigger than it was when released.
My favorite flick of all time. Saw it when I was 12 yrs old on a service called Preview which was a movie only box that attached to your TV with a paid monthly subscription. This was a year or so before cable was available in our hometown
I agree with you wholeheartedly, however I think the issue was people weren't ready for it. Blow out is a masterpiece disgused as a popcorn thriller. That is one of the reasons it's so special. Often times the cinematic masterpieces found within cinema history are obviously just that, there is a pretentiousness that follows them around and people feel so compelled to over analyze them and over contemplate the "meaning" etc. Blow out may take a viewer 6 to 10 views before he or she realizes this is ana amazing film.
I can't quantify what makes DePalma films so good, but they are visually beautiful, and they are hyper realistic and they are full of random elements. He's just so damned good.
The problem is his exhibition of violence shows an undeveloped psyche. A lack of maturity. Class, if you will. It's a lack of sophistication to go for shock. Hitchcock used suspense to string you along. He cowtowed in Psycho once he saw the drop in audiences standards. Brian couldn't make The Best Years Of Our Lives.
I still think Carrie is a work of art and De Palma made what was a pretty good book into a cinematic entity unto itself and story telling and the way its paced and shot with split screen, operatic music score and the general flamboyance of film making that makes it not only a classic but almost a right of passage for film makers of horror, teen drama, supernatural in general not to mention the impact its had on fans of the film let alone other film makers such as Tarantino. I personally think its impossible to find a reason to remake it other then its a great story that new audiences should find out about, the problem is, De Palma made such a brazen, emotional and groundbreaking movie that its hard to give future remakes any creative breathing space to come up with something original to bring to the story as the remakes that have been made so far have shown us. if its not obvious, i think its one of the greatest films ever made and while its of its time in places, other aspects of the film haven't dated at all
Well said, my friend. I recently watched it again after not having watched it for about 5 years (I’ve seen it dozens of times). This time I truly recognized it for the masterpiece that it is. It’s an absolutely amazing film making at its absolute best.
I often don't agree with him, but I love him pointing out the distinction between the thrill-less nature of the French New Wave movies versus filmmakers like DePalma, Polanski and Argento. Argento has stated that he was inspired to make Crystal Plummage after seeing Blow Up. Blow Up is a typical of the thrill-less style: Hitchcock without the thrills that make Hitchcock so good.
I really enjoyed "body double" by Brian the Palma that movie really tripped me up as a teenager watching that, wasn't until later I realized it was very hitchcock-like
No way,i think Dressed to Kill is the best,But i have both when ive got hold of Dressed to Kill-maybe ive seen Body Double too many times.Sisters is good too!
I love Sisters. I think it's my favorite DePalma film. Charles Durning is marvelous in it. Another terrific DePalma film is his Vertigo "borrowing," Obsession.
I’ve seen all of Quinton’s movies. Now I’m watching all of Brian de Palma‘s movies because he is Quinton’s favorite and Phantom of the Paradise is my mom’s favorite movie I’m about to watch blow out because of the video archives video
Name every single Quentin Tarantino film from the first to last then if u seen all of them ....including all of his screenplays & acting & cameos ever made because they count too👍

Charlie Rose clearly has no clue what Tarantino was talking about in regards to 1992’s Raising Cain. And it’s possible to Tarantino knows this but keeps talking anyway. Tarantino is like a wind up toy when it comes to talking about movies. I guess Charlie Rose is good at getting out of the way.
❤ GG Charlie Rose . Haaaaaa yes 👏 😅love QT and I would be lost interviewing him most definitely. Tarantino doesn’t care if 🌹 gets it; he has to make his points. He means it with all his heart. Tarantino is a freak of nature and brilliant in ways that don’t need to be grasped by us. Bowie said it in “up the hill backwards”.. it’s got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it. I’m okay. You’re so so. Oooo oooo. Love ❤️ this interview
I like Tarantino and I like what he's achieved, but DePalma achieves a verite no other director gets to, including Tarantino. It's so crazy what he achieves. Everyone talks about Scarface, but all the details in that film blow my mind. That movie is so hyper realistic. Carrie is beyond amazing also.
Brian de Palma was one of the great directors of the 1970s and 1980s but fizzled out after that. Blow Out is his best movie and a superb thriller with brilliant acting by John Travolta, Nancy Allen and John Lithgow. 1972 Sisters 1976 Carrie 1980 Dressed to Kill 1981 Blow Out 1983 Scarface 1984 Body Double 1987 The Untouchables 1989 Casualties of War
I purchased Blow Out off of the Criterion Collection awhile back and was in awe by the noir driven style via sound effects as well as John Travolta’s performance. Think it could be slightly better than Carrie, which is also a classic for the Horror Genre.
This is what happens when an IQ of 160 works in a movie rental store. I'd love to have been his midnight movie companion and lived through his first-day reactions.
I don’t love all of his movies, but I would definitely take a class with him talking about film, history and film studies. In fact, I hope that’s what he does after he retires after movie number 10.
Kinda sad to hear him say “not gonna talk to him as a video clerk”. Most of us super fans are just video clerks of one kind or another. But I get it, Tarantino doesn’t want to talk shop in a theatre lobby.
No, the problem is he was not going to get to talk shop within the 90 seconds he was likely to have with De Palma. Time too limited and he was only a video rat yet.
Bonfire of the Vanities is a great film, and even more relevant today. Matter of fact, I'm going to go watch that right now. Hands down my favorite Tom Hanks movie.
@@Jays-ug9bd I blurted out "Jesus Christ, are you fucking kidding me?" lmao. Amazing ending. Now I gotta go watch the rest of his films. I've only seen Blow Out, The Untouchables, Scarface, and Carrie (when I was like five). Gonna watch Dressed to Kill next.
@@d__on just watched DTK today!! Not as good as blowout but still a very entertaining watch. And yea i watched carrie a long time ago so i dont really remember, and obviously scarface is a classic. Thank God for this video cuz these movies definitely would have went under my radar
The Eleventh film of Tarantino should be an adaptation. the ascension of Art over Ego. De Palma had a vision to make The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. Hell, he might even have gotten the steam next to take on the ultimate Sci Fi epic, The Stars My Destination by the same author. Maybe Tarantino, who is such an admirer of De Palma, could complete De Palma's vision. A movie like The Stars My Destination would be historic and beyond anything Tarantino has done or would otherwise have done. The future of cinematic story telling and a movie that wil be watched avidly by children and old people alike hundreds of years in the future.
All of Brian DePalma's films are classic. We hear all the time about his well known films, but if you've never seen "Sisters", you should! One of the scariest movies I've ever seen. Nightmare producing. "Carrie" is more famous, but this one will give you chills. Stars Margot Kidder, Jennifer Salt and Charles Durning.
I appreciate Tarantino's passion and incredible knowledge of cinema history and obsessions with filmakers etc, that said, I don’t agree with his opinion on DePalma's relationship to Hitchcock. Im not exactly sure what the difference is between being obsessed with Hitchock and being obsessed with Hitchcock's cinematic language.. i think that is basically the same thing. To me, Depalma is one of the most technically talented film makers of all time and its that technical prowess that truly shines in his expression and his filmaking style that is uniquely his own despite it being born out of his obsession of making movies that are his own style with the influence of Hitchcock in his brain.
I was recently chatting about movies with someone and mentioned DePalma. They instantly replied that they thought he was not very good. Carrie? I mentioned. Oh yeah that's great. Blow Out? I proceeded. He directed that? Dressed To Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, Mission Impossible... Instant convert :)
The old adage, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating", is proven very true regarding DePalma's ludicrous theory about 'The Omen' being more succesful than 'Carrie'. 'The Fury' had that vital star leading role and has faded into obscurity whilst 'Carrie' grows ever more popular to this day and is revered as one of the seminal horror films of all time!
Haha I love when he’s talking to De Palma and says “One day I might make the most violent movie ever made…” kind of sarcastically, then he would go on to make Kill Bill 😂 One of the most violent films ever made.
He sure ran into quite a few famous directors at a theater before he ever made a film , DePalma & James Cameron & i forget the other but yeah & Gale Ann Heard who was married to both of those directors is crazy for him to run into them all it must be fate regardless if he worked with them or not &..... BTW , The Omen is better to me than both Carrie & The Excorcist combined but for once thats my own opinion even tho Carrie & The Excorcist are both different films than eachother, Quentin compared Carrie to it & u have to compare The Exorcist to the Omen & also compare Rosemary's baby to it too because they all about the devil & about demonic possession!!!! I also love how Quentin talks shit about Polanski just so more folks don't talk shit about him but Quentin loved all those films & knows all of them & is just as demented as he is lolz
Have to disagree with Tarantino about DePalma's best film being Blow Out. Scarface is his best film, IMO. It has stood the test of time like none of his other movies.
yes absolutely his best film, never liked blow out myself.. it just was not believable to me unlike the conversation for example which is technically believable
I think they are kin around the visual vision, that type of storytelling, and the way they are true auteurs, singular vision and style that basically no one else has done. Non-pandering, just doing their thing. That’s how I see DePalma & Tarantino having a link. Hitchcock as well. Perhaps like a Tim Burton also.
De Palma is a really good but not great director. He has made some innovations and technically superior stuff but he’s inconsistent and as a storyteller he falls short.
You know he was making films when it was still a developing process, his generation of film makers did it all without many things that movies of the last 30 years use commonly.
@@mrillis9259 , I get that but he is held out by some as the calibre of Scorcese and Copolla usually by association as a movie brat and while he is a little like Zemeckis in that he tries and succeeds cute technical stuff, he’s not up there with the greats as he isnt the complete package that they are. He’s very good, not great. He’s pulled in a few too many howlers to be called great.
@@mrillis9259 , I’m also not a massive Tarantino fan beyond Kill Bill outside of maybe Once upon a time in Hollywood. Making movie about micro genres that have brilliantly written scenes often jammed awkwardly together is a very overused gimmick of his and I think Roger Avery got overlooked for his work on Pulp Fiction. For me, PT Anderson is Tarantino in real life, a true wunderkind.
I love how this moves through all the different interviews Tarantino ever did where he talked *about* De Palma, and ends with Tarantino finally talking *with* De Palma. Such great payoff there I didn't even expect. However I used to talk this way about Tarantino. He used to be my king and my idol. But I've begun to distance myself from him. His movies really are so violent. It's not that I can't stomach the gore. It's that I wonder if it's really necessary. Partly based on his influence, and partly out of a general inevitable movement in world cinema since the '60's, audiences have begun to mistake blood for artistic merit. We no longer "feel bad about enjoying" violent scenes, as Quentin says. Now we actively seek them out, and talk about the most gratuitous violence as the best part of the film. This has a large part to do with the market - violence sells. But I think the proliferation of violence in movies has to go with the increasing propagandization of Hollywood. It's in the interest of the war mongers to boost the bloodlust. The more sadistic movies become, the more bloodthirsty the populace. America is a war culture, and Hollywood helps with that brainwashing. Like it or not, De Palma and Tarantino have helped that agenda a hundredfold, even unwittingly. This is why I agree with Tarantino that OUATIH is at least one of his greatest films, because on the whole it's one of his least violent (minus the obligatory blood orgie at the end, which is against real violent killers who deserved to die such gruesome deaths in real life). I think this is part of what Tarantino was trying to say with "...in Hollywood." However, this is why Nolan has superceded Tarantino as my favorite director working today, and maybe ever. Take Oppenheimer. For a film about the Slaughter of millions, it's practically bloodless, and yet still sexy as hell.
What's the complaint about Oppenheimer? People take issue with the fact that he didn't show the effects of the bomb on Japanese people. Too many people actually do want to see the violence. The current crop of 'best action movie ever's barely have a plot but have body counts off the charts.
I'm not saying you're wrong bc in some way, the limitations of violence have been pushed very far since the sixties, sometimes too much. However, you can notice that in general, very violent movies are not the most successful, wich leads me to my point : there's a smaller market for that kind of movies if you look a the industry in general. But frankly, I know people not into violent movies at all who'll go see Qt's, bc it's so off the wall you can be ok about liking it, bc you can cleary see it's a movie, a fiction. Images do have a strong power, so it's clear sometimes it influences people unconsciously, but I don't think it makes people more violent, just more use to it. Violence was already there in some of the Caravage's painting and even way before, so I don't think people only became more bloodthirsty after the fall of the hays code (granted, I'm not American so maybe it's different out there). Concerning Oppenheimer, it's not the same kind of movies at all and not showing people dying bc of the A bomb reinforces the disconnection between the scientists and the effect of what they where making, so it goes along the intention of the movie. Finally, what does "sexy" even mean concerning a movie ? Ps : Saying all that but your point is very interesting tho.
I watched The Untouchables before seeing Scarface and i can’t get over how after watching both the feeling De Palma lost talent and in a major way. Everything about the formerly mentioned is so,so bad. Costner gives his most wooden performance up to that point and tops it with JFK, Sean Connery getting an Oscar for that movie kicks every movie he’d done up to that point in the balls. Every single thing about that movie sucks
Oh, please. The scene on the stairs with a prostrate Andy Garcia aiming his gun at a hood: Costner: You got 'im? Garcia: Iiiii got 'im. I will never forget that scene. It's perfect.
Oh okay, Hitchcock didn't go where he wanted to go in the 50s/early 60s.I guess Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds were just disappointments. 🙄 Quentin's fine on DePalma, but I wish he'd drop the I'm-Generation-X, And-Everything-That-Came-Before-Me-Is-Overrated mental m@sturbation.
He really just said that Hitchcock planted the seeds of that kind of cinema that Brian De Palma later explored in his career with films like Blow Out and Dressed To Kill.
Yeah, and North by Northwest. A huge disappointment. I also think he's wrong about throwing everything of Hitchcock's out after Psycho. The unjustly ridiculed Marnie is filled with archetypal images. It's a fascinating movie, I think, despite its imperfections.
I’m a simple man. When I see Quentin talking about other directors movies, I click.
I'd love to know what he thinks of Wind River, Annihilation, Bad Times at the El Royale, Copshop, The Northman, The Killer and Killers of the Flower Moon.
The finale of the fireworks and the murder is amazing. And then Travolta's look when he puts the murder scream into his audio edit. It really is a VERY underrated movie....
It’s a good scream… good scream
Its always entertaining to hear Quentin talk about other film makers.
Haha I love how enthusiastic and passionate Tarantino is about movies 👍
In those early videos thats just blow 😂
Been a fan of Blow Out ever since it came out. So many different inspirations DePalma remixed in the film. Suspense meets political thriller meets the craft of filmmaking within a film. Should have been bigger than it was when released.
The very definition of "Hidden Classic"...
My favorite flick of all time. Saw it when I was 12 yrs old on a service called Preview which was a movie only box that attached to your TV with a paid monthly subscription.
This was a year or so before cable was available in our hometown
I agree with you wholeheartedly, however I think the issue was people weren't ready for it. Blow out is a masterpiece disgused as a popcorn thriller. That is one of the reasons it's so special. Often times the cinematic masterpieces found within cinema history are obviously just that, there is a pretentiousness that follows them around and people feel so compelled to over analyze them and over contemplate the "meaning" etc. Blow out may take a viewer 6 to 10 views before he or she realizes this is ana amazing film.
@@davidgangemi3314 Classic ❤ 🎥 love it
Hal Hartley anyone?
I can't quantify what makes DePalma films so good, but they are visually beautiful, and they are hyper realistic and they are full of random elements. He's just so damned good.
The problem is his exhibition of violence shows an undeveloped psyche. A lack of maturity. Class, if you will. It's a lack of sophistication to go for shock. Hitchcock used suspense to string you along. He cowtowed in Psycho once he saw the drop in audiences standards.
Brian couldn't make The Best Years Of Our Lives.
I just watched Blow Out a couple hours ago. Brian De Palma know how to tell the story of a character’s psychotic break. It’s purely sinister.
Polanski influence.
@@rockrecordreport7136
I agree, it felt a lot like Chinatown at times.
As a film buff, this is like catnip to me - two of my all-time favorite directors!
QTs podcast is the perfect thing.

Love that classic Charlie Rose interview! so glad it is on the Pulp dvd/blu/4k
I refuse to believe Pauline Kael will not be a focus of Tarantino’s final film “The Critic” - he references her frequently in interviews
Awesome job editing this together!! Thanks.
I really enjoyed "body double" by Brian the Palma that movie really tripped me up as a teenager watching that, wasn't until later I realized it was very hitchcock-like
Blow out is such a great film one of my favorites
....... To this day, I think BODY DOUBLE is Brian DePalma's best film.
Body Double is amazing, it’s the rawest De Palma’s film
Talking about raw have you seen sisters?? 🙏😮💨
No way,i think Dressed to Kill is the best,But i have both when ive got hold of Dressed to Kill-maybe ive seen Body Double too many times.Sisters is good too!
Femme fatale and dressed to kill too
For my money, brian de Palma’s best film is the Untouchables or Scarface but Blow Out is my 3rd favorite….3 masterpieces
Carlitos way is even better
Dressed To Kill, with Michael Caine, I think is great. And Raising Cain.
Blowout was great, but Body Double is underrated great. That movie is bonkers and just immensely entertaining.
I had issues with the murder with the fence post hole digger scene. I felt Brian has issues with women. And doesn't have a line to not cross.
@@sclogse1 Yes, it was hard to watch, I agree.

Brian de Palma was one of the great directors of the 1970s and 1980s but fizzled out after that. Blow Out is his best movie and a superb thriller with brilliant acting by John Travolta, Nancy Allen and John Lithgow.

Blow Out is amazing and better than the film it’s a homage of (Blow Up)
Not his best movie, but Phantom of the Paradise is my fave De Palma movie. I hope he can learn to love it, too.
I forgot about that one. It reminds me of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
9:30 despite all the Hitchcock hype its Repulsion that is De Palma's main influence--Tarantino knows one or two things about movies... fax!!!
Snake eyes is my fav DePalma film
Definitely underrated
This is what happens when an IQ of 160 works in a movie rental store.
I'd love to have been his midnight movie companion and lived through his first-day reactions.
We should put more genius' in movie rental stores! Oh right, there aren't anymore. Well, social media is ok thanks right?
I recently watched Blow Out and followed it with the Rewatchables podcast episode of that movie. Highly recommended combo
I have never been a fan of Tarantino films, but I think he sounds like a most brilliant film critic and wonderful student of the craft.
The only one I love is Jackie Brown
Yes he really loves movies.not 💰
I don’t love all of his movies, but I would definitely take a class with him talking about film, history and film studies. In fact, I hope that’s what he does after he retires after movie number 10.
What’s not to like? All of his movies are super strong!
He's definitely a serious student of cinema. My brother was a HUGE fan of his. Put me up on game regarding how knowledgeable Quentin is. It's crazy

To me, Depalma is one of the most technically talented film makers of all time and its that technical prowess that truly shines in his expression and his filmaking style that is uniquely his own despite it being born out of his obsession of making movies that are his own style with the influence of Hitchcock in his brain.
I took it he was obsessed with Polanski rather than Hitch.
I was recently chatting about movies with someone and mentioned DePalma. They instantly replied that they thought he was not very good. Carrie? I mentioned. Oh yeah that's great. Blow Out? I proceeded. He directed that? Dressed To Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, Mission Impossible... Instant convert :)
The best thing about The Fury is John Cassavetes, especially the character's hilarious ending.
Great observations! Everyone was changed by Revulsion! I was.
I was waiting for him say Giggity Giggity Goo....
I work with children, and Tarantino is giving me all the classic autism spectrum vibes
he's insufferable
The old adage, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating", is proven very true regarding DePalma's ludicrous theory about 'The Omen' being more succesful than 'Carrie'.
'The Fury' had that vital star leading role and has faded into obscurity whilst 'Carrie' grows ever more popular to this day and is revered as one of the seminal horror films of all time!
Tarantino has great skin.
Can anyone tell me please from what podcast the section starting 14:22 is taken from?
"Happy Sad Confused" Quentin Tarantino (Podcast Episode 2015) m.imdb.com/title/tt17302744/
@@Vanilla_Skynet Thank you!
fire
not a word on Phantom of the Paradise :(
"Hickory dickory dock, Cain has picked his lock!”
Young Quentin could’ve played beevis butthead
Movies MOVE. Movement of characters in physical conflict IS violence.
so true tbh

Blow Out: the story of a man who ate 2 day old Taco Bell
Alright okay, the thing is okay, there was a time okay, alright.
What an expounder
I was today years old when I learned Blow Out is not an Alan J Pakula film
I thought it was a matter of record that DePalma's magnum opus is Mission Impossible?!😎
is he wearing an astro boy tie
Tony Musante really? He scared The shit out of me in The Incident 1967.
Haha I love when he’s talking to De Palma and says “One day I might make the most violent movie ever made…” kind of sarcastically, then he would go on to make Kill Bill 😂 One of the most violent films ever made.
He sure ran into quite a few famous directors at a theater before he ever made a film , DePalma & James Cameron & i forget the other but yeah & Gale Ann Heard who was married to both of those directors is crazy for him to run into them all it must be fate regardless if he worked with them or not &.....
BTW , The Omen is better to me than both Carrie & The Excorcist combined but for once thats my own opinion even tho Carrie & The Excorcist are both different films than eachother, Quentin compared Carrie to it & u have to compare The Exorcist to the Omen & also compare Rosemary's baby to it too because they all about the devil & about demonic possession!!!! I also love how Quentin talks shit about Polanski just so more folks don't talk shit about him but Quentin loved all those films & knows all of them & is just as demented as he is lolz
15:20 listen to it all the wat to 25 min
Have to disagree with Tarantino about DePalma's best film being Blow Out. Scarface is his best film, IMO. It has stood the test of time like none of his other movies.
yes absolutely his best film, never liked blow out myself.. it just was not believable to me unlike the conversation for example which is technically believable
too bad, there's happy laughing chuck rose.
A homagophile loves another homagophile.
alright?
Brian had a great run in the 70s, 80s and 90s but it's like he forgot how to make movies about 20 years ago.
Femme Fatale is like his best movie by far but okay.
@@vi0lee Most people would disagree with you but to each their own
Yea...remember Snake Eyes? What a weirdly entertaining and yet still pretty crappy film.
Stop putting coke in your coffee Mr. Tarantino
I think he’s just naturally like this. Plus, he could be on the spectrum. His hyper fixation on cinema is an example. Love the dude.
Brian De Palma a great satirist? What?
Watch Phantom Of The Paradise.
I really don't see a connection between tarantino and bdp
Hitchcock yes.
I think they are kin around the visual vision, that type of storytelling, and the way they are true auteurs, singular vision and style that basically no one else has done. Non-pandering, just doing their thing.
That’s how I see DePalma & Tarantino having a link.
Hitchcock as well.
Perhaps like a Tim Burton also.
De Palma is a really good but not great director. He has made some innovations and technically superior stuff but he’s inconsistent and as a storyteller he falls short.
You know he was making films when it was still a developing process, his generation of film makers did it all without many things that movies of the last 30 years use commonly.
@@mrillis9259 , I get that but he is held out by some as the calibre of Scorcese and Copolla usually by association as a movie brat and while he is a little like Zemeckis in that he tries and succeeds cute technical stuff, he’s not up there with the greats as he isnt the complete package that they are. He’s very good, not great. He’s pulled in a few too many howlers to be called great.
@@mrillis9259 , I’m also not a massive Tarantino fan beyond Kill Bill outside of maybe Once upon a time in Hollywood. Making movie about micro genres that have brilliantly written scenes often jammed awkwardly together is a very overused gimmick of his and I think Roger Avery got overlooked for his work on Pulp Fiction.
For me, PT Anderson is Tarantino in real life, a true wunderkind.
He's wrong about Raising Cain, it pays everything off (theatrical cut, ignore the DC, it's terrible)
**alright!?**
Imagine being able to go to Hollywood Video in 1998 with Tarantino as your guide
I love how this moves through all the different interviews Tarantino ever did where he talked *about* De Palma, and ends with Tarantino finally talking *with* De Palma. Such great payoff there I didn't even expect.
However
I used to talk this way about Tarantino. He used to be my king and my idol. But I've begun to distance myself from him. His movies really are so violent. It's not that I can't stomach the gore. It's that I wonder if it's really necessary. Partly based on his influence, and partly out of a general inevitable movement in world cinema since the '60's, audiences have begun to mistake blood for artistic merit. We no longer "feel bad about enjoying" violent scenes, as Quentin says. Now we actively seek them out, and talk about the most gratuitous violence as the best part of the film.
This has a large part to do with the market - violence sells. But I think the proliferation of violence in movies has to go with the increasing propagandization of Hollywood. It's in the interest of the war mongers to boost the bloodlust. The more sadistic movies become, the more bloodthirsty the populace. America is a war culture, and Hollywood helps with that brainwashing. Like it or not, De Palma and Tarantino have helped that agenda a hundredfold, even unwittingly. This is why I agree with Tarantino that OUATIH is at least one of his greatest films, because on the whole it's one of his least violent (minus the obligatory blood orgie at the end, which is against real violent killers who deserved to die such gruesome deaths in real life). I think this is part of what Tarantino was trying to say with "...in Hollywood."
However, this is why Nolan has superceded Tarantino as my favorite director working today, and maybe ever. Take Oppenheimer. For a film about the Slaughter of millions, it's practically bloodless, and yet still sexy as hell.
What's the complaint about Oppenheimer? People take issue with the fact that he didn't show the effects of the bomb on Japanese people. Too many people actually do want to see the violence. The current crop of 'best action movie ever's barely have a plot but have body counts off the charts.
@@antoinettelopes right on man. Modern Hollywood is sadistic. Nolan is so oldschool, he refuses to show the blood.
"Because it's fun Jan! Get it!"
Oh shut up! What a stupid thing to say.
I'm not saying you're wrong bc in some way, the limitations of violence have been pushed very far since the sixties, sometimes too much. However, you can notice that in general, very violent movies are not the most successful, wich leads me to my point : there's a smaller market for that kind of movies if you look a the industry in general. But frankly, I know people not into violent movies at all who'll go see Qt's, bc it's so off the wall you can be ok about liking it, bc you can cleary see it's a movie, a fiction. Images do have a strong power, so it's clear sometimes it influences people unconsciously, but I don't think it makes people more violent, just more use to it. Violence was already there in some of the Caravage's painting and even way before, so I don't think people only became more bloodthirsty after the fall of the hays code (granted, I'm not American so maybe it's different out there). Concerning Oppenheimer, it's not the same kind of movies at all and not showing people dying bc of the A bomb reinforces the disconnection between the scientists and the effect of what they where making, so it goes along the intention of the movie. Finally, what does "sexy" even mean concerning a movie ?
Ps : Saying all that but your point is very interesting tho.
I think Scarface and Carrie are De Palma's best movies. Body Double is the most entertaining.
I watched The Untouchables before seeing Scarface and i can’t get over how after watching both the feeling De Palma lost talent and in a major way. Everything about the formerly mentioned is so,so bad. Costner gives his most wooden performance up to that point and tops it with JFK, Sean Connery getting an Oscar for that movie kicks every movie he’d done up to that point in the balls. Every single thing about that movie sucks
Oh, please. The scene on the stairs with a prostrate Andy Garcia aiming his gun at a hood:
Costner: You got 'im?
Garcia: Iiiii got 'im.
I will never forget that scene. It's perfect.
Oh okay, Hitchcock didn't go where he wanted to go in the 50s/early 60s.I guess Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds were just disappointments. 🙄 Quentin's fine on DePalma, but I wish he'd drop the I'm-Generation-X, And-Everything-That-Came-Before-Me-Is-Overrated mental m@sturbation.
He really just said that Hitchcock planted the seeds of that kind of cinema that Brian De Palma later explored in his career with films like Blow Out and Dressed To Kill.
Yeah, and North by Northwest. A huge disappointment.
I also think he's wrong about throwing everything of Hitchcock's out after Psycho. The unjustly ridiculed Marnie is filled with archetypal images. It's a fascinating movie, I think, despite its imperfections.
De Palma, one of the goats. But Blow out is an average film.
Unfortunately Tarantino never reached the heights that De Palma did
True.
Charlie Rose is an awful interviewer. He projects himself vs. letting the interviewee shine. The “yes”’s are so distracting
