- In this video, Quentin Tarantino talks on the struggle to become a writer and film director.
Many people believe that Hollywood maverick Quentin Tarantino broke into the film business overnight, but he worked independently on the periphery of Hollywood for years before breaking through.
By intercutting a series of interviews Tarantino has partaken in over the years, this video tells the brief story of Quentin Tarantino's early days, showing how he broke into Hollywood to become a writer and director and remaining at the top of the pyramid for 30 years.
He talks about the production failures of My Best Friend's Boyfriend, the rejection he faced in trying to finance True Romance and Natural Born Killers, and how those screenplays contributed to his breakthrough in the end.
This is Quentin Tarantino's success story, and it may provide useful insights about the struggle to become a writer and director of films if you're an aspiring filmmaker yourself. Persistence and a refusal to ask for permission is really at the heart of the message.. - บันเทิง
"Things work out when you stop asking permission and take destiny into your own hands"
- Quentin Tarantino
I went dating with this philosophy and now I’m facing serious jail time. Thanks for nothing Tarantino!
@@fredrik8500 skill issue
@@fredrik8500 same situation with me but instead of dating I went to the bank and now also facing jail time
It's great to know true talent shines through and gets recognized eventually, this video was a reminder to be patient and not quit just because things aren't working out for a few years
This is just a bonkers take, and that is obvious if you just examine it for half a second. Many people throughout history (writers and artists in particular), where not recognised until long after they died, and neither their hard work or talent earned them anything while they were alive. People far more talented and important than Tarantino. George Orwell for example was reviled in his time, and died owning nothing but a typewriter and the clothes on his back.
@@fredrik8500 intellectual (not Equal to) artist
@@daanisch what?
@@fredrik8500 being an intellectual is not a career path, although the craft of writing is a trade, george orwell is known for his intellectual contribution to the field of political science and sociology he is not known for being "just" a novelist, its like calling dostoesky just a novelist, I thought I should inform you before you sound stupid at a public gathering
@@daanisch kind of a goofy and needlessly snarky response given that @Fredrik didn’t specifically refer to Orwell as a novelist. With that said, Animal Farm and 1984 are far and away his most recognizable contributions. Regardless, the point still stands that those achievements didn’t earn him shit during his lifetime.
Thank you, this is incredibly inspiring. In the history told of Tarantino, it always makes it sound like he broke out with "Reservoir Dogs" as his first movie and he didn't have much struggle before that. But to know TARANTINO had a hard time making it in the industry, that is actually very comforting. Although I or anyone else as filmmakers will likely never reach what he has been able to do, to know that he too had to walk that hard road to get recognized is incredible.
When I first watched Reservoir dogs in 2015 when I was 18 years old I didn’t know that it was Quentin and I didn’t know that he was going to become one of my favorite directors. I love the way he crafts stories.
So Inspiring. Quentin Tarantino is one of the Best Filmmaker. Who makes the Cinema Reborn. Thanks for telling us his story.
What I learned: Stop asking permission; take things into your own hands.
Love it.
Don’t give up on your dreams. What you desire, desires you.
I'm still trying to get my first script perfected. I have always looked at Quentin Tarantino as a huge inspiration. Even if I never succeed at turning my work into a movie, it will always be a passion of mine.
If this is your own edit and not some stolen property - well done mate. Very on point and very professional. Plus - we all love Tarantino lol.
So inspirational and informative. Great finds. Thanks.
Nice one dude, you're very welcome.
Joe Rogan has a great podcast indeed.
Can you imagine being so disillusioned on trying to get your scripts bought and filmed that one day, just as you’re about to give up, you manage to get someone like Harvey Keitel to sign on to what you were planning to make as a home movie? I bet Quentin was probably scared shitless that day but that was the push he finally needed I guess. Good for him.
I love that little bit from Reservoir dogs where Mr White and Mr Orange are casing the bank, and then they drive off and it cuts immediately to the car crash scene after the robbery.
this is THE type of content im looking for, i can easily be inspired if I watch a film director's success, but what would get me stick to my chair and listen to it for hours would be the struggles behind their success, now THATS what I'm here for..
I NEEDED THIS . THANK YOU
I can relate. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for posting. I love it
I needed to hear this. this is great
I needed to watch this. Thanks
I guess he's talking at the start about 'My Best Friend's Birthday,' his first film, which you can see on TH-cam. I'd have liked to hear more about that. It's got a lot of strong stuff, some of it very recognisably Tarantinoesque, but the story is barely there. It'd be really interesting to hear specifically about how he got better at story, or why it was weak there if he'd already written a strong story for 'True Romance.'
The fact this was release on my B-Day feels like proper alignment... Namaste!
Nice story.
However, I wouldn’t seek investors on a project unless I really had to. It’s a huge gamble. The Coen’s raised one million from random strangers (so they say).
But only a small percentage of people can pull that off.
This is a great video with a great vibe. So many crappy versions of this type of motivational video, but yours is well edited, clean and to the point! Never knew this about Tarantino before.
Thank you!
Amazing story! Really had no idea. The guy really made it.
I thought this was a big professional channel! Great stuff
Thanks man. It's early days.
@Fatih Thanks mate
That’s a good thing to hear.
This is amazing work, super inspiring and made me emotional really thinking About how Quentin got started and now how far he’s come
I need to revisit this everytime i get demotivated in this field
Quentin's bit about "everything went bad" changing to "everything went good" is the important part - Quentin was ahead of his time, and this is how it manifests! (subscribed! bravo)
Great channel! Mate!
Thank man, glad you're enjoying it!
Great channel! Subbed. Keep up the good work:)
Thank you! Much appreciated.
Thank you
When you turn down the big guys who offer you lots of money so they can take full control of your craft, that's when true talent shines and they begin to notice you.
I'm the 799th Sub. And I'm hoping millions more would read this. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Sharma!
What song is this playing in the background?? It's dope
the pendulum swings!
It’s nice hearing his come up can’t do this now and days. The cost of living is so crazy you can’t make time to fund anything but what you need. Unless you have parents that are willing to still give you money.
All I can say is it's hard. God has blessed me with a gift to be a screenwriter, film producer, and director and I thank God every day for that gift, but I stop to think saying to myself where will I get the money to make this film? I'm poor I only make $350/week I have bills to pay, but if Quintin can do it when he was making $150/week than I can do it too.
You have to write a good story first, before you can make a movie.
writing a good story doesn't cost you much.
you just need a notebook and a pen.
@@davidjacobs8558 I will do that thanks you that's what Tyler Perry did when he was living in his car he wrote plays and scripts. It was harder for him because he was homeless I'm not thank God, I live with my parents and got a sister who gives me $4,000.00 every year to raise money to have my film made, to buy a laptop, and take screenwriting classes online. It's possible we got this.
It's a long haul, I started writing 9 years ago and still haven't made it.. close tho
@@starbright6579 you have plenty of support
@@nonono9194 Screenwriting is like an unrealistic job that's hard to become, sometimes I day to myself how can I pay my bills? Because we do all have bills to pay, but we have our day jobs or night jobs to help support that. With that said it is very hard to sell a script to a producer you're so right about that one that's why I want to become a police officer because I always wanted to be that since I was 5 years old now becoming a police is a realistic job and it's easy to become more than a screenwriter, film producer, and film director. I'm not giving up or saying give up on your dreams I'm speaking for myself not others. I just need to have another job in mind in case I don't become a screenwriter and producer because I'm black American but I tell Latino stories and want Latino actors which is very hard because Hollywood doesn't want Latino movies or shows on American channel network's. So it's possible my movies will be in tv but not my shows because Latino shows always get pulled off the air on American channels which means I might just have to be an author and police officer.
What’s the music used in this video? Very motivating by the way.
Inspirationnal
Love the music. What song is this?
Now in todays technology it’s easier than ever, find events and festivals, make connections, educate yourself which is again easier than ever before
It being more accessible than ever means there's also a vast amount more competition than their used to be
The very important lessen to take away from this and I learned it way too late is: Stop asking for permission and if it feels right to you do the things the way you want to do it.
Nothing happens overnight it's not the destination it's the journey the process
Reservoir Dogs is my favoriteTarantino movie,😍💙
This is gonna be one of those channels that’s gonna end up with millions of subs
True that
Cheers Jon, if it does end up with a mil subs I'll get in touch to remind you that you were the first to say it ;)
@@cinedome1 ❤️
You know I don’t think people really take an account just how hard it is to be an artist especially one that makes something that is truly unique most people won’t be bothered to find it until I was really it becomes famous and no one will bother to Fonda until you’ve done all the work yourself and then they’ll show up to help you and charge you a pretty as well.
It's depressing that a genius like Tarantino had to fight for a decade just to start using his talent. So much nepotism holding back real artists.
I've been working for 9 years now to break in as a writer just like him looool yep definitely alot of wasted years
@@nonono9194 Remember those years aren't wasted, it's all part of the process, any process
@@user-yp2yh2gj8w it's made me have to get so good at my job that I force my way in but yeah basically all of my 20s will be spent grinding whilst broke which is a shame but at least it's nearly over, having connections I would've been worse at my craft but had a more fun life
@@nonono9194 Exactly! I'm experiencing the same with music-production. But the slow way is the stable way I think. It also makes you appreciate the growth in your craft, if you have the right mindset.
It isn't nepotism, you doofus. He says he gatewayed him in. If you know what race that group is, you'll know who runs everything.
Great channel i love it 👍👍
Thanks Saigon, glad to hear it!
@@cinedome1 you are welcome. You are doing great content.
My fav director. Kill bill changed my life
Is the film that he’s referring to at the start available?
Part of it is. Tarantino claims it to be unfinished. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/X6MUbRZSg80/w-d-xo.html
@@cinedome1 thanks so much!
The thumbnail had me thinking Quentin started a twitch gaming channel or something lmao
He might be weird and have shit views on Roman Polanski but he’s a god dame inspiration
I heard Tarantino drove Hyundai Excel when he was a poor aspiring movie maker.
Is that true ?
goat
Bgm name pls
If you want to make it in Hollywood, all you have to do is convince people you can make them money!
People separate two versions of Quentin Tarantino.
People say they love him as a director!
But dislike him as a normal person!
And there’s others who dislike him as a normal person and as a director!
But I personally like him altogether. And yes I’m aware of some of his weird interviews and responses! But still I don’t hold anything on him. 🎥
I read this exact comment on another video with the exact emoji
Why do people dislike him? Lol
What people don't realiise is Quentin's mother is a strong person in film industry. She is a massive reason why he made it. Connie Tarantino, forged his way into filmmaking. He does not talk about this. Yes, he is talented. i love his early works.
She's a nurse from Tenessee who discouraged him from writing. What are you talking about??
@@bigboss9150 Nope.
2:35 what’s this from?
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/3ylgajFJm54/w-d-xo.html
@@cinedome1 thank you
I always wanted to read the original “Natural Born Killers” I hear he hated what they did with it so much they made them take his name off the project
Besides the annoying music, the edit is very good.
Thanks Veggis, sorry you didn't like the music.
@@cinedome1 Can you tell me what song this is? It's phenomenal.
i didn’t even know he wrote Natural Born Killers lol
oh the good times of financing a movie by working at video store lol.
At the end. Don't ask permission.
Quentin's mind is creating the entire fucking universe and you discover that that's you who's been doing it the whole time. It's utterly shocking and astounding. It's so astounding that you won't want to believe it because people have told you all it's egotistical to say that you're Quentin. Only a narcissist would claim that he's Quentin. You're imagining the entire fucking universe. What does that make you? That makes you Quentin. Reality is pure imagination. Tada.
Mabel Tarantino was a big Hollywood producer, what struggle?
Give me a break, it's not too hard if your father already was in the Hollywood business, and you live in LA
He owes a massive debt to Roger Avery.
I'm tired of everyone pretending Pulp Fiction isn't Tarantino's only good film...
Quentin Tarantino is an alright director , but compared to the best he isn't even close
He is
@@algas666 absolutely not even
His constant references and homages and straight up recreations of other films definitely hold him back. His work can sometimes feel like cover songs of the greatest hits of other artists, rather than encapsulating his own unique "album" of work.
@@Bad_At_Parties well that isn’t even his biggest problem
@@ordjk4797 Didn't say it was. But we were discussing how he compared to other filmmakers, and him not being as original in his style or voice holds him back from being truly impressive, in my opinion. He's not a trendsetting or trailblazing director, like so many others were at points in their career.
We won't get into the fact that he can't pace a story to save his life these days and he over indulges in every element he used to be able to restrain in his older work.
And then the writters are on strike for thinking they are not payed well
I'm so tired.
didn't need the cheesy music
Cool and all but in todays world an aspiring director wouldn't get his films financed because they are not known IPs.
overrated
All his movies are negative and ultra-violent. Would have been better if all that money had been give to a random Chinese person to make their film.
I can kind of agree with that.
Negative how?
Nah just get rid of your negativity.
@@tylerwebb3428 Having respect for people, and not glorifying gruesome murders, isn't negative.
What a joke of a comment. Tarantino is brilliant.
