@@art_of_comedy3241Well, sometimes certain actors and certain directors do not mesh. I doubt it would have gone well if Kubrick had ever cast, say…. Dustin Hoffman in one of his films, either. Kubrick is like the polar opposite of “an actor’s director” but that doesn’t make his films bad or his approach incorrect.
@@isaacgraham5727To some extent I agree but there’s a point where it changes from artistic direction into compulsive control and I’d argue that Kubrick many times branched into that. He created brilliant films, that’s someone no one can deny but the cost on his cast and crew to do so, I’d argue was a flawed method. It was too much and arguably unneeded.
That's how people learn and grow, if you don't take advice to heart now and again then you're not learning. Humans should never stop learning and striving to be better than they were yesterday.
@@joggingscissors632the original comment never painted a negative light on this. I think it makes it BETTER that he’s repeating advice that was given to him because that shows that he can grow and learn as a director.
The man has only made 9 film's so far and is one of the most beloved film maker's to work for. I've seen so many actors praise working for Quenten, simply because he's right beside the cameras.
I’ve only ever worked on one set & it was for a very small indie, so I had no idea directors on bigger films weren’t right there behind the camera the whole time. That’s how it’s depicted in every show or movie that depicts filmmaking. & I always assumed that was an accurate representation.
I worked on a few small Indies as well. It wasn’t until I worked on a slightly larger film and we were shooting a scene and I remember being confused like “where’s the Director?” And he was in another room looking at a monitor. I remember being even more confused at that point.
People perceive his confidence as a filmmaker as arrogance, personally I think he's more than earned the right to be confident in his abilities both as a director and a storyteller.
This! But also don't be afraid to redirect, as apparent from Jamie Foxx's story (from Howard Stern) of his first day on the set for Django: Unchained, in which he interpreted himself as a badass from the get-go and was sternly reminded by Tarantino that the character of Django is "a fucking slave [...that] *becomes* the hero."
I think that’s what’s key in getting that first read from an actor. There was friction but I think seeing it *then* correcting Jamie Foxx in that way cemented the idea far better than if he were told before that first read. Learning from failure can be more important than improving on what’s initially passable
I think I like him even more now just for the fact of letting the actor's try to do their own thing. So Much respect he has for the filmmaking process is awesome. So Much respect for him.
Wow that’s just such a great way to be collaborative, and to even give yourself (writer/director) a different take or perspective on a scene /character . Especially if your were torn on a couple ideals
The best part of this video is like six master directors hanging on every word that he says because they all know he can teach them something about actors.
Not exactly, everyone learns everyday but to think tarantino is "teaching" anyone at that table anything is laughable, furthermore there are a few there who have the COMPLETE OPPOSITE directing style especially O'Russel who is known to be somewhat of a tyrant, and seemed particularly puzzled at Tarantinos advice, partially because that's not an approach he'd EVER use and partially because he knows Quentins kinda full of it and is largely known to be an autocrat who rules his sets with an iron fist unless he's working with Leo who has carte blanche on every set he graces
@@o-wolf QT is a better director than every other director at that table combined times 10. If they aren't listening to his every word, they're a pompous fool whose ego is stopping them from being educated.
Having watched the entire 86 original Talking Sopranos podcasts and the edited HBO, now MAX, versions, one thing is crystal clear: Actors hate it when the Director, or fellow actors for that matter, give them a line reading. Because they cannot get it out of their heads. It’s like un-ringing a bell.
This reminds me of Gary Oldman talking about what a good direction note should be. I think Tarantino and him would have made such a great combo in a movie
We kind of had it even if it wasn't directed by Tarantino, but written by him, and directed by Tony Scott who made a great job respecting the material, except for the time structure, as it was classic chronology, unlike Pulp Fiction. True Romance contains a great performance from Gary Oldman, who succeeded to play a character that would have been ridiculous with a lot of actors.
What i love about him is that he is a complete cinema geek. Lol I read his book, Cinema Speculation, recently and it really shows just how much he cares about the art of filmmaking. (I highly recommend reading it btw, or listen to the audio book, which is read by Tarantino. Lol)
Jeff bezos says the same thing. Always let the lowest ranked person talk first because if you speak first they might change their mind about what they wanted to say. Like if you tell an actor first take to do it a certain way maybe they had a amazing thing planned already but they throw it out the window to please the director
I've been saying this for so many years and direct that way myself. Yet most directors will not allow actors to show their interpretation of the character.
This two clip are different, the first answered the question, the second one was from a discussion he was talking about an advice he got from a senior colleague about what to look for during casting auditions.
I get what he means about being there right by the actors as they act, but ultimately, it's what's on the monitor that the audience is going to see. I'm curious about where that balance comes in.
kinda hilarious that tarantino yapped in the spotlight for a minute and then the interviewer added on "sometimes being a director is being a good audience" 😂
This clip is over edited. While the advice is sound, they’ve cut it up to appear as though tarantenio came up with the “let the actor run through it on their first take”. He got that advice from Harvey Cartel, and in the film clip admits as much.
He comes across as arrogant, but someone of his skill level has every right to be. And I don't think he is arrogant, just that his belief in himself is so strong it seems that way
Working for Quentin has to be the dream for the majority of this new generation of actors...i cannot imagine what is like to be told: "ehi, you'll be in a QT movie" like damn
to start why are you asking this guy? as good as his films are all in he has about a dozen and a half Scorsese has almost 100 others 2-300 films under their belt and oscars globes international etc awards. Funny how the Niche director which is Quinton is pushed as the main stream voice when even his movies his style is not mainstream
Tarantino said making adjustments is easy but give the actor that first go through of how they envision the character and then tell them to change this or that in their performance. Jamie Foxx says he does he version then Tarantino says the stuff he says
An absolute master of his craft. It bums me out that we only get one more film from QT. Unfortunately, I think he'll stick to it. Where were you on 9/11.
Good advice from Tarantino, with no unnecessary doucery! Nice.
They cut out the part where quinten says this is actually advice Harvey Keitel gave him
yea.... cant stand ... doucery.... you know whats even worse? Douchery
AI Tarantino
@@zac3126 also the part where he says all the great movies have lots of feet shots in them
@@deangelisdata true dat. 🫡
Tarantino's advice comes directly from Harvey Keitel during the preproduction of Reservoir Dogs. Best advice Tarantino had ever gotten from an actor.
Harvey is a legend
Harvey told Kubrick to fuck off and walk out from eyes wide shot cuz he was asked to do 60 takes for simple scenes,

This was the advice given to Quentin when he was shooting "Reservoir Dogs". He's repeating the same advice.

His ability to explain his point of view so clearly is why he's one of the best director ever
Tarantino's passion for the film industry and its actors is what makes me love him.

ur tone of voice, gestures, choice of words, and personality must allow the actor to feel free

QT 🔥💯❤️
Such an amazing piece of advice
Awesome precise advice!
It’s crazy because not only is he a great director he’s also a good actor too so he knows exactly how the actors feel too
The Man has spoken. It would be wise to listen

As an aspiring writer and director myself, this is great advice.
So true about keeping one’s mouth closed at table read (and maybe a few more after that). Let your actors find their way then start giving notes. 👍🏻
So simple. Perfect. Smart advice. And maybe a flash of real emotion in there, too. Nice.
What i love about him is that he is a complete cinema geek. Lol I read his book, Cinema Speculation, recently and it really shows just how much he cares about the art of filmmaking. (I highly recommend reading it btw, or listen to the audio book, which is read by Tarantino. Lol)
If you direct the entire movie from video village, then you’ll only ever see your movie on a screen and never with your own eyes.
So good!
it's such enjoyable to listen to what a genius has to say
Why I love this guy so much
That sounds as solid, respectful advice.
Yesss true u have the script let me see how u push n bring out the scene from your Head Excellent Craftsmanship 🎉🎉❤❤
I love his films.
Wow... this is wisdom
I love this man!
Great advice
Mr. QT wearing a Chiefs jersey!
Way to goooooo... 🏒
Few can do what Tarantino does. Boggles my mind how Hollywood can spend millions and millions on a movie and the directing sucks.
my goat
That’s good advice !

Yet more proof the man is brilliant.
danny boyle is there not knowing he has directed the best movie ever known to man, trainspotting
And this is why he is one of my favorites!
Unscripted is the best way to go sometimes!
Love QT in the slap shot chiefs jersey🔥
This guy is what u call talent
Quentin, I'm going gray, what hair dye advice can you give me?
Would love to do a movie with you Quentin.
"Let them cook" 👌🏼
Like the way Lucas filmed the entire prequel trilogy. He sat in a lazy chair with two monitors in front of him (camera A and camera B)
Beautiful words from the man master😊
as a film major, Quentin Tarantino is my hero
This is good advice because I’ve experienced this myself.
I've been saying this for so many years and direct that way myself. Yet most directors will not allow actors to show their interpretation of the character.
Quoting advice from Harvey Keitel
on the set of Reservoir Dogs.
Hitchock FIRED "Actors" for THAT!
"Actors - are a
NECESSARY...
EVIL"...
What
I have never seen a more incomprehensible style of writing
This two clip are different, the first answered the question, the second one was from a discussion he was talking about an advice he got from a senior colleague about what to look for during casting auditions.
Don’t make him call The Wolf to explain it again!
I get what he means about being there right by the actors as they act, but ultimately, it's what's on the monitor that the audience is going to see. I'm curious about where that balance comes in.
I agree. The benefit now if you can have a wireless monitor on you so you can do both!
You heard that, Kubrick? Hmm?
kinda hilarious that tarantino yapped in the spotlight for a minute and then the interviewer added on "sometimes being a director is being a good audience" 😂
Lives by his mentors words...
is that robert rodriguez? such a amazing director too

Where is full interview?
Here it is! th-cam.com/video/SQ7qKKQrSBY/w-d-xo.html
@@NatesFilmTutorialsWrong, that is a roundtable with 4 other directors, not a one on one with Robert Rodriguez.
He’s right 1/4 part. Everything else comes in the end from the first interview.
Love who is interviewing the QT.
Quentin proves exactly why he's movies r so great
Give me more Quinton Tarantino
I wish they'd make another movie together.
Focus on their feet.
4.03. You see master sinatra strong karate skills..
Jackie Brown if not his best movie its top 3..
Genius
I have seen this somewhere else - Give Kritel the same credit that Tarantino did in the original interview - why would you cut that out?

Is that Rodriguez?
Legend

Is this robert rodriguez??
yes
That sinatras karate is strong...
Damn...being a good audience. More profound than you might realize.
Yet somehow every character sounds exactly like him.

I still don't understand myself.

Yeah but Jamie Foxx told a story about how Tarantino had to have a talk with him and change his delivery after the first reading in Django.
That was after the first reading, he allowed him to act and after that first time then he jumped in and told him what he wants.
Because Foxx completely misinterpreted the character.
Tarantino said making adjustments is easy but give the actor that first go through of how they envision the character and then tell them to change this or that in their performance.
Jamie Foxx says he does he version then Tarantino says the stuff he says
Imo a good director let’s the working parts around him happen , and doesn’t try and make all the working parts around him , work around him
Step one. Don’t be in a Robert Rodriguez movie
???
That last bit "it's as if they're doing it solely for you" come off a little control-freak / tyrant creepy to me.
Trust people to do their jobs.
I suppose every director is subjective about advice
An absolute master of his craft. It bums me out that we only get one more film from QT. Unfortunately, I think he'll stick to it. Where were you on 9/11.
What did you mean by "where were you on 9/11"?
Amazing advice - let the actors cook 🤓
