I love Tarantino's films, and often don't notice the violence because it's so beautifully integrated... until it makes the hyperspace jump, and then I'm like "Oh fxxx, I can't watch this." It took me twenty years to re-watch Reservoir Dogs just because of the torture scene - it was the first time I'd ever been shocked by cinema. I've skipped the theatrical releases of several films that looked too violence-oriented. Yet, when people complained about the violence in Pulp Fiction, I honestly had no idea what they were talking about, though I'd already seen it three times.

I totally understand what Tarantino is saying about playing the audience! Feeling and listening to the reactions of the audience and viewer.
What he said about us being us being the orchestra was cold as hell ngl
Because it's FUN, Jan!!
Violence is a part of ALL media entertainment! Movies, soap operas, sports, books etc..People need to give it a rest.
Jackie Burke -- that was Leonard's original name for the character. So not quite Birch.
Before I watch I'm going to guess it has something to do with him liking violent films. I've heard him say before that he basically tries to makes movies that he would enjoy.
One day my mother asked me, why are Tarantino movies are so violent? So I answered her; "Because, it's so much fun mom, you got it?

Why most of interviewers has to focus on violence? Noone ever focus on the plot, the cinematography, the music and many other things... every single damn time they ask about violence. There's really nothing to say! It's a movie, and people don't get violent beacuse of having watch it! People get violent if it's crazy or can't handle their emotions... not certainly for a movie or a videogame! It can happen, but only in very very few cases....

Because most of them are idiots and they can't read between the lines of the storytelling; they just focus on what's easiest to understand because they're too stupid to do anything else
Tarintino is prolific and like anyone who's successful, he's become an easy target for detractors to try to take shots at for violence depicted in his movies. I've never once felt that any of his films were particularly violent. The resevior dogs ear scene and parts of kill Bill are probably the worst it got. When I was a kid I used to watch Evil dead 1 and 2. They're far more violent than anything Tarintino has ever done. I can go on and list dozens more violent films than Tarintinos. Yet for some reason people always like to bring this up with him. It's an agenda and I think you can clearly see straight through it.
Violence is cool 👍
Because otherwise how many people would go see a movie where nothing happens?
Violence is a part of human nature. Anyone who denies it is a fool. And anyone who can't tell the difference between real life violence and violence in film is an idiot.

I understand where you’re coming from, but at the end of the day, everyone has different tastes in films. Yes, there is a difference between movies and real life. But movies have a story. When a film prioritizes subject matter over its own narrative, it fails to be a movie, but if it’s the other way around, it works out as a film that’s trying to say something. That’s why Tarantino is respected. Overused shock value can get pretty boring.
Because it's so much fun Jan, GET IT!

That was a good interview. An intelligent objective host who knew him his work and his influences and was able to ask thought provoking questions. 👏👏👏
the first time i saw CHRISTOPH was in DJANGO i fell in love with him i was captivated by his delivery humour poise and grace. He was Chatasmatic but not in an in your face burningly in tense way. I mourned his characters death. This was new to me as i never invested so emotionally in a character before.

He was so much better in Inglorious Bastards though.
I am following these discussions for 20 years now. It became so boring. Can't imagine what Tarantino feels like, especially cause some of his movies have very little scenes of violence (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) or the violence happens offscreen (Jackie Brown). He makes movies that are often 3 hours long but most critics only talk about the 10 or 15 minutes of violence in his movies. Makes no sense. And his movies aren't even that violent.

@jonathanthomas1509
4 жыл бұрын
@@td202beats7 I'm not sure that's reasonable to assume. Tarantino is masterful at writing tension, although his tension is definitely lacking in once upon a time in hollywood. But usually he's on the dot with tension. The problem is that Tarantino does tension the way most shitty horror movies do tension. Let me explain: Tension is built around the perception of an imminent threat and is often relieved with some form of a catharsis. For example, in Inglourious Basterds the opening scene has Hans Landa searching the house for the Jews. We are made aware of the threat and Tarantino drags the scene out to allow it to build. Music is absent, there's barely any sound but the ticking clocks and Landa's imposing questions. And then the catharsis is the slaughter of the family. Another example is the bar scene of the same movie with the German major discovering the undercover spies. The tension builds as we know the threat and the major grows closer to discovering the truth. Then he does and upon discovering it the dialogue slows, the background noise drowns out, and upon a sudden there is a BOOM! Shootout, catharsis. Now let's take a look at any cliche horror jumpscare. If you analyze jumpscares you'll notice that they do the same thing, just in a different context. There's always a perceived imminent threat (i.e a ghost, monster, demon, etc.) and the set gets very dark and quiet, without music, without sound. And then BOOM! there's a loud noise to break the silence and a jumpscare. That's the catharsis. They're very quite the same. If horror writers made any attempt to take the elements of a jumpscare and apply them to other genres they could potentially be very adept writers of tension. It's just that the jumpscare is so overdone that it has no effect on the audience anymore. Context changes the meaning of it, though. So basically I would fear that a Tarantino horror would just be riddled with gore and jumpscares, which isn't worth the price of admission in my opinion. True horror takes a different approach to being scary and disturbing. And that is the approach of the unknown, what we don't see. Great examples include The Shining (Stanley Kubrick version), It Comes At Night, The Witch (to some extent, but it's also guilty of using a few jumpscares but they're quite limited), and some others I'm having trouble recollecting at the time of writing this. But have a viewing of those 3 films and you'll see my point.

Inglorious Basterds wasn't a guys on a mission movie because Tarantino has no ability to write something involving military strategy and the complexity of a full-scale military campaign. His movies are cartoons. Artful cartoons, but not even remotely resembling reality or human experience.
I’m sorry but Tarantino’s features are becoming almost demon-like as he ages. He is beginning to look like the demonic character he played in his vampire movie who was the brother of George Clooney’s character. Seriously he really is starting to take on features that could be used in a horror movie. With his wealth I would have toned down those outstanding, less attractive features.
