Did Quentin Tarantino Just TRASH Michael Mann's Movies??

[@rustyshackelford934]

I mean Tarantino is the same thing. Even if he works within a different genre, he’s still making the same film. The same way Mann did with The Insider. Tarantino may operate in a different genre, but for his 30 years of directing he’s pretty much made the same film over and over with different settings. The tone, the pace, the rhythm of the dialogue, etc. The closest Tarantino got to doing something actually new in a long time, was in Once Upon a Time... when I saw it in theaters for the first two hours I was actually really intrigued. I was like, “Oh shit, Tarantino’s actually doing something different from his normal. But of course, there at the end, he got lazy and had to throw in the Tarantino explosion of violence-which honestly the whole Manson thing really doesn’t even make sense. Why is it there? It serves no real purpose besides anchoring the film down a little more in 1969. Besides that and of course Rick living next door to Sharon Tate, it doesn’t really have anything to do with the film. I get if like I said, he wants to attach some real life event that helped shape the ethos of that time period to anchor the film down in a more sincere form of reality instead of just saying, “hey it’s 1969! And look how I recreated all this 60s stuff” but, dude, make it have a fucking point. You can say, well the point is, Rick becomes introduced to people who may further his career, okay sure, but that’s pretty fucking thin lol I dunno, I haven’t really loved a Tarantino film since Inglorious Basterds-but it erupts in his cliche explosion of violence, and then that’s it. I was very let down. I thought it would have been better if it stuck closer to how he wrote the novelization of the story. Where it’s a buddy story, and particularly about a man struggling to transition in Hollywood.

Quentin spoke about Thief in utmost praise. He also loves Heat.

[@romanumeralz]

Collateral is a masterpiece. 💎

[@mackychloe]

It's good but Heat is better.

You should get the 2-Disc edition of 'COLLATERAL'. Pure film aesthetic if ever I saw one. MICHAEL MANN proved he is the 'MAN' when he directed 'LAST OF THE MOHICANS'. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

[@lurx2024]

Michael Mann is an underrated director, Quentin Tarantino is overrated.

[@alfiesolomons2385]

Mann can be pretty damn good where as Tarantino can be pretty ok.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Ali, Collateral and Public Enemies are excellent, masterpieces even.

[@moviegooner49]

Why on earth did you forget Heat???

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

Public Enemies is ruined by very poor and obvious digital camera production.

[@christofferjenzen78]

I can't get past the mix of 30s sets and costumes shot on a digital camera, it's jarring and not a moment feels real. Collateral is fantastic however.​@@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat

[@securityg]

Don't forget - 'LAST OF THE MOHICANS' Brilliant! Brilliant! - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

[@vinniecasqer840]

Tarantino is the new industry lackey. Poor Mann has to cast whoever they tell him to cast in his movies so is stuck with the one line queen Cruz and mystery appeal Driver, so is currently living an editing nightmare. This is the industry's way of adding insult to injury to all the trouble they've caused him.

[@Mamba4.8]

Cruz was perfect, one the great parts So was Fox. I don't think they stuck him with that, that's perfect casting in a masterpiece

[@BLUEDELUCA]

This has been said about Mann since i was a kid. I agree….i am a huge Mann fan but i don’t like ALI, THE KEEP or MOHICANS (aside from last 20 mins)

[@sodarkherhair78]

I love "Jackie Brown". I like "Heat". What's wrong with that ?

[@Ironbird-q4f]

Tarantino is as overrated as Francis Ford Coppola. Both have 3 great movies, one or two that arent bad and the rest are quite forgettable.

[@tonigillette9217]

Coppola is visually great. The content of his films is pure Hollywood trash.

[@TTM9691]

Did he? I hope he did! Why wouldn't he? He's a hack! But Quentin loves hacks so I'd be surprised if he was actually dissing him. But man oh man, what a mediocrity. Always can spot a know-nothing when they start talking about Michael Mann like he's some kind of auteur artist or something. The guy makes coloring books.

[@Mamba4.8]

The fact you called Mann a hack speaks more on you. He's unquestionably one of the greats with a couple masterpieces

[@TTM9691]

@@Mamba4.8 LMFAO!!!!! "Masterpiece"! "One of the greats"! You wouldn't know what a "masterpiece" or "one of the greats" looks like if they were pissing on your face, lower animal. Take your thumb out of you mouth, diaper boy and get out of the shallow end of the pool. Let me guess: you haven't seen a movie pre-1980 unless it was Jaws, Rocky or dopey Star Wars, who are you kidding?

[@RighteousBrother]

Heat the best films of the 90s

[@BrianMcInnis87]

Why would I do that?

[@koolk404]

Last of the Mohicans is great and hardly 20th century!

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

I think he may have meant the work Mann produced in the 20th Century... Because yeah, Last of the Mohicans is pretty great.

[@opup-m8b]

No he made a similar comment on his podcast talking about the keep

[@gwakon]

I think he's correct.

[@BrianMcInnis87]

Quentin went WAY too easy on him.

[@doylestatus]

Ferrari was boring and pretty trash. So tarantio is right.
