A Speculative Look At Quentin Tarantino's Cinema Speculation

[@Shah-of-the-Shinebox]

That book was incredible. I'd seen a large amount of movies discussed (mainly the ones he talks more in depth about), but there were so many i hadn't seen. It just became a huge watchlist.

Such a great video, thanks for all the reviews and recommendations! Needs more views.

15:08 I love this creators interpretation of the Travis Bickle character 😝👍🏻

[@philoebeddo8724]

3/10 for Deliverance. You’re insane.

[@GreenEyedLady76]

yet sisters is 5/10

[@AbrasiousProductions]

good to see another drinker fan👍

I can understand your review of Deliverance, the "grape" scene really was the equivalent of the shower scene in Psycho and to have that spoiled does neuter the movie a bit. It's a great character study on men, and a strong man and how they're brought to their lowest and must tap into their innate caveman instincts to survive. The strongest of course being Burt Reynolds who is injured early on, so not quite the untouchable god-like figure like Rambo or Arnie in Commando, that we're used to. Still have to see the Outfit, think I'll skip Daisy Miller though 😅 A shame about The Movie Critic, I hear he's not making it after all, hope he changes his mind.

Agreed he didn’t really get the movie at all. Most people get turned off by the scene and can’t objectively look at the entire movie after which is sad. QT puts it great, the first half of Deliverance is 5 stars. The 2nd half falls limp because they underplay Ed shooting the mountain man section and the cops investigating what happened. It’s a great movie. 4/5 for me. A great tight movie that isn’t super deep but very powerful.

19:18 what's this song called? it's very alluring❤

[@AbrasiousProductions]

The Getaway (1972) was my first Peckinpah film too!

[@chrispalmerdemo]

Thanks for the video brother! I’ve been on a 70’s tv & movie kick! I highly recommend the Streets of San Francisco series if you liked Dirty Harry and Bullitt. It stars Michael Douglas & Karl Malden as two Homicide detectives in 1970’s San Francisco.

Ohhh, Paradise Alley es una de mis peliculas Favoritas!!! Aun asi gran video!

[@isuriadireja91]

i saw that one long time ago.... NOT one of Sly's good ones.

A couple things on "Hardcore". Schrader has said many times he hates the ending, that the studio made him change it. I think pretty much anyone who's viewed the movie feels the same way. Also, I've heard many people have this opinion that Jake somehow owes Nikki or it's job to save her. When he finds his daughter and goes home, he's known Nikki for about four days. He also paid her several hundred dollars for this. So he's now somehow morally obligated to take care of her for now on? I assume you're being sarcastic when you say his daughter is doing work that isn't degrading.

[@TheFilmNerd]

Yea and I didn’t like the ending either

[@SinistarsHunger]

I went in expecting to dislike the ending, because QT and others said it didn't fit, but I saw the movie as being more character driven. When he slaps Nikki, it's a bit shocking, but we're seeing that Jake is becoming a monster.

[@Hannibal082]

lol that interview with that comedian was a joke. He didn’t even read the book he was going to interview Tarantino on.

[@colinhowell2777]

Did I hear you refer to him as Steven McQueen? Part of his coolness was that he was Steve McQueen, not the uptight, buttoned down "Steven." That just wouldn't have worked in the summer of love, counter culture time period in which he skyrocketed to fame. Actually think it was his first wife who suggested the change as he did use the longer name on the stage in NY and possibly some very early film work.

[@bacarandii]

Was Steve McQueen EVER credited on any movie as "Steven McQueen?" I don't think even the British director of the same name ("Hunger," "12 Years a Slave") ever went by anything but "Steve." That said, Sam Peckinpah was a revolutionary film pioneer and visual poet (who made some crappy commercial movies, too, to pay the bills). Tarantino is a pale, cartoonish shadow of the greater filmmakers he consciously imitates (Peckinpah, Scorsese, De Palma, Kurosawa, Fuller, Boorman, Siegel...). I don't mean to be mean, but if you're not familiar with Tarantino's references, then you have no idea of what his movies even ARE. He's an ultra-self-conscious meta movie fan playing with genre conventions and audience expectations. That's all his movies are about. On their own, they're very narrow (in terms of character, emotion, theme -- mostly limited to "revenge") but they have to be experienced in historical context or they have no meaning whatsoever...

[@AntGFromSD]

Oh hell no you didn’t put a jazz lost woods versions into the vid lol

[@stevemcnary7963]

You missed the point of Deliverance. To give it a 3 out of 10 & say the excitement is gone at the end tells me you don't know what you're talking about.

[@vvblues]

I refuse to participate in your noob sense of wonder. I saw all these movies when they came out in the theater. Pearls before swine.

[@TraceyBaby52]

13:29 First of all....that's a huge red flag lol
