0:00 - Intro
1:05 - 01 - Contemplate a lot of different ideas before you commit to a project. It’s like falling in love, you flirt and date a lot of different people, but then you meet the right one.
1:59 - 02 - If you wrote something and it doesn't work for any reason, put it away for some time. When you come back to it, take the best parts and write a new story.
2:46 - 03 - Think long and hard before you decide whether to write a tv series or a movie. Seeing your screenplay come to life in a movie theatre is still once in a lifetime experience.
5:10 - 04 - Make sure your story is PLAUSIBLE. You can make up whatever story rules you want to. But once those are set, the story must be credible WITHIN those rules.
6:08 - 05 - Let your characters LIVE. DISCOVER them as you’re writing them. That is the process Tarantino used for one of his best characters ever written Hans Landa.
10:16 - 06 - Always keep all the characters you write saved separately in your database. You can always use a complete character or part of a character for another screenplay.
11:41 - 07 - Create a detailed backstory for the character, but don’t reveal everything to an audience. Let the audience fill in the blanks themselves and create their own movie.
12:59 08 - Think of suspense as a rubber band. As long as the rubber band can stretch, the more suspenseful it is. The opening scene in Inglourious Basterds is more suspenseful at 22 minutes than it would be at 8.
14:13 - 09 - If the scene you’re writing is working and keeps holding up and it ends up being 40 pages long you should keep it in the movie. That’s what Tarantino did with the basement scene in Inglourious Basterds.
12:45 - 10 - Always try to surprise yourself with your writing. The best way to keep your writing fresh is to always start at square one, like it’s your first screenplay.
18: 35 - EXTRA TIP - It’s hard work to go to that blank piece of paper and start from scratch every single solitary time. But it’s more rewarding to write your own movies. It’s the only way to keep your own VOICE.

The best scene of all the scenes you've ever scene seens.
Thank you for not censoring Tarantino. In the process, keeping it real and true to who he is. And what we want and expect to hear. Too many other channels providing screenwriting and directing tips censor the cursing which is a disservice and nonsense given we're adults, many of us fond of cursing as well
The basement bar scene from IB is one of the best pieces of cinema I’ve ever seen and my all time favourite movie scene
He is soooo mesmerising to listen to. A lot of people don’t understand how important this man is. How he expresses art through cinema. Also how the audience, just regular people like us, can experience through his eyes and then for ourselves.
This channel is underrated, keep it up! Ive been looking for this kinda stuff!
Amazing video! One of the best from Tarantino I saw on KZread! And I saw many! Keep them coming!
This movie is in my top 10 ever.
It's a fantastic movie. The tension is so real in the scenes that my heart was beating fast with anxiety. Quentin is a master artist. I wish I could meet with him and discuss more of his movies.
A living legend
I really love this men..❣️
Very cool insights🔥TY really helps alot👌🏾
The suggestion about having the character's back story but not giving it to the people and have them watch an create their own stories about it is brilliant. Very simple, but effective.

Do Kill Bill next please
I’d love to see the 6 hour version
QT’s direction is just as good as his dialogue/screenplay’s!
Tarantino is one of the few people who has an ego but has earned the right to have one. His movies a are excellent.
Looking forward to meeting him and having a disagreement. Love his work and have a bone to pick with him as well.
It's funny. I never noticed the rope burn. Now it's driving me crazy.
Love the video, fuck these amount of ads!
Please steve mcqueen
Imma get it done . Imma get it done to show me and her .
As a lot of people would say, Tarantino is a lunatic but man is he good at his job... 😂
18:45 aw wow he’s gonna compliment someone other than himself for once… oh nvm
apart from seeing something in cinemas, the best is watching it on vhs

Brad Pitts character was an outlaw and he was dragged by his neck by a rope from the back of a horse. WW2 started and he was more at home killing Nazis in the most brutal way possible. Thats what i imagine his past was and how he got the mark
I don't even like Brad Pitt and I can really picture him growing up moonshining before the war
Love him, but what an egomaniac.

It takes a lot of confidence to write something that's not an existing IP, put it out there, and get it made. If it's successful, you feel justifiably confident.

@@oliverford5367 absolutely…. But I get way less egomaniacal behavior out of C Nolan, James Cameron and a handful of others, who are technically much more successful. Tom Cruise seems verifiably crazy, and I think that having that much fame and fortune will always have an effect. And, I’m a huge fan of all of those guys.
The opening was great, but the same suspense of Nazi suspecting someone is repeated 3 or 4 times. And the rest of the film isn't great - you'd think if Hitler was going to a cinema in Paris they wouldn't let two French people run the projection in case they try to assassinate him.
Tarantino is the worst and most overrated director in film history. His rubbish is for 12 year olds. His films are garbage.
