Quentin Tarantino Explains His Approach to Writing and Filmmaking

[@Nemoticon]

Tarantino is so impassioned and expressive, I'm never quite sure if he's getting pissed at someone or not! Guy has a lot of energy.

[@arranboon1]

And for our audience at home, the answer is B. Cocaine

[@alexpeak5971]

Firebrand he still likes feet

[@aboutthatlife917]

Dude is filthy rich and can afford all the cocaine he wants. Probably has a $500 -$1000 a day budget on the stuff

[@JustinLeeper]

Firebrand What’s weird is how, when he’s doing a one-on-one interview, he rarely makes eye-contact with the interviewer.

[@rafaelrp07]

I've seen many interviews ofhim...and making ofs also. I think it's just the way he is. Jammie Foxx went to this program and he mimicked Tarantino on how he corrects actors when they're in the wrong path. J. Foxx confirms that Tarantino stopped shooting a scene cause Foxx himself was not behaving like a slave. His interpretation was to soft at the begining of the movie and the character did not know how to read by that time in the script.

[@ozzy9101]

I love how QT is just like “I paid those guys to say my dialogue, no way they’re changing it unless I think it’s good”

[@cappzap]

not even "unless i think it's good" but "if they're right" lol

[@jamescheaye927]

That’s utter confidence in his material for sure

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

That is how almost all writers are. Stanley Kubrick let actors do their own thing if he think they got the character.

[@username4441]

yup, i watched the video as well.

[@penoyer79]

I'm just wondering how much of a blowhard do you have to be to try to improvise over Tarantino's Dialogue? lol You know? That's like putting bumper stickers all over a brand new Rolls Royce. lol like WTF are you thinking?

[@iggy4774]

Tarantino movies are great because he's creatively unpredictable. His films are a fun ride.

[@davidpage968]

very true i love all his films hes the best

[@n0c]

WORD!

[@thejawgz6719]

This. Even though he steals a lot of individual scenes and admits to it, he structures his screenplays in such a way that you often cannot predict where his movies are going, which makes them amazing theater experiences.

[@chanzsandoval527]

I agree

[@pauldiamante4814]

Tarantino to remake Star Wars, working title is rumored to be: That Motherfucking Phantom Menance Motherfucker Returns

[@AlbertV90]

DevilMaskMedia His next movie comes out in late July and I'm absolutely sure he will do Howard's show. Howard has interviewed Quentin since the late 90's when Jackie Brown came out and every movie Quentin has released after that, he went on Howard's show. Tarantino is one of those ideal Howard Stern guests.

[@raulpena6100]

I work in Hollywood where they were filming it and let me tell u it was something else 2 see him actually directing ppl where to stand and he had the whole st turned into the 1960s milk trucks and everything Brad pit was standing next to him listening it was like watching Kobe and Phil strategize a play

[@mikecantreed]

Tarantino is a genius passionate about his craft. One of the GOATs.

[@aleistercrowley1502]

QT writes the best dialogue HANDS DOWN. He can take a movie like Hateful 8 where nothing really happens, almost the entire movie takes place in one room but the movie never gets boring and has a great flow to it. QT is able to keep people engaged and interested because his dialogue is so freakin great! My fav director hands down!

[@robyn615]

"Did you know..." "I didn't know I was going to kill Hitler. I did not know that until I did it." "Was that fun?" "That was a blast." I know Quentin didn't actually kill Hitler, but isn't this like THE most epic conversation you've ever heard?

[@CHotell96]

No

[@Dramatello]

Saw TONS of movies and Tarantino is by far the only one who can make 10+ minutes long scene of pure conversation and make it more interesting than 95% of all action\thriller movies as a whole and all together. His writing is truly something else.

[@chrisrockwell5813]

Have you ever seen an Aaron Sorkin movie?

[@williampowell3378]

Exactly

[@joemckim1183]

The opening scene of Inglourious Basterds at the dairy farm was one of his best scenes ever.

[@silverdragon710]

I rarely see(actually never) Howard so genuinely interested in his guest.

[@focuspocus]

Once Upon a Time is his most "Hangout" movie yet

[@ulricclayton3428]

What I love about Tarantino is how he gets you to love a character and then suddenly kills him or her, in many cases, like Emmanuelle, Bridget Von Hammersmark in Inglorious Basterds, Dr. Schultz in Django, Vince Vega in Pulp Fiction, and so on. He makes you love it and kills it while you still do, instead of making it boring over time like a lot of sagas do.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Vince Vega was loveable but also an irritating creep at times. He was great fun but he wasn't missed. Hamersmark hurt.

[@dubchung]

3:41 Man! Shows how much respect QT has for the people he works with, but at the same time always puts the film as his number one priority. Love this guy

[@miguelvidal2335]

I love Tarantino, but watching him makes me so anxious

[@pyrefly7575]

Same here , its like you are waiting for him to suddenly get super mad

[@Patriot66699]

He's definitely weird and eccentric

[@Patriot66699]

And creative

[@Raynnman]

Its not bad if his excitement matches your anxiety levels

[@ultimateclassic4092]

As others have stated, I get Stern has to interrupt to keep the spotlight on him considering it's his show and he's known for that, but he really needed to let Tarantino explain the questions he was being asked to the end. He'll just cut him off mid sentence, mid explanation. Not fun and interesting for us. For most other stars this would have been fine, but this is a craft we're very much interested in coming from the master himself.

[@MrWhoareyou1221]

this guy is an artistic genious....he really is, you can tell he's trying to dumb down how he processes things. When he was talking about the "rhythm" of a movie, you can tell he just feels it and a has a true vision that the other 99.9% of the world can't have...

[@davidcanning3940]

Disregarding his early career as a "shock jock" which I used to listen on morning radio stations, Howard Stern has developed into one of the best host interviewers. He has a crafted ability to get his guests to talk "openly" and it comes out as great dialog. As if the guest was just talking to you in your living room, without regard to controversy.

[@zyrrhos]

Here's my Tarantino story: I was in a bar on Sunset Blvd in the late 90s. Late afternoon. It's just me and the bartender. I'm standing there, back to the bar area, when I suddenly felt this strong energy in the room. I turn around and there's QT standing there, looking for someone. He was only there for about 15-20 seconds, then left. But what I'll always remember is his energy. His presence.

[@brentloy131]

[@cpbacon53511]

second best of his movies behind Pulp Fiction IMO. After I see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, that could probably change. While I liked Django and Hateful Eight , I'm not a huge western fan. Inglourious basterds was really good but I'm ready to see modern day Tarantino again. I guess the summer of 69 was 50 years ago but you know what I mean.

[@manmelt4037]

[@harpoon_bakery162]

@Rodriguez Manuel what do you mean "tough to watch"? serious question

[@aliciaanne]

I love when Howard interviews Quentin. Always fantastic.

[@smokingterd53]

I feel like Howard gets these great interviews because he's a really genuine guy. Who we see is not some act, hes just himself, and that makes people more comfortable with him as opposed to sitting in front of an audience, or in a room alone, where this person is asking you generic questions off a list, he actually has a conversation with you.

Love the way he describes the method of his dialogue. I love his distinctive writing. You know when it’s Tarantino. Inglorious Bastards opening scene. Pulp Fiction opening scene. Death Proof, pretty much the whole movie. Reservoir Dogs opening scene. The dialogue always feels natural and in depth.

[@Purple1984Rain]

Love QT'S energy. In every one of his move there's always a couple of scences you're like '''shit man! where does he come up with this stuff! ''. The first time I saw Pulp Fiction when Jules is exlaining to Vincent what a TV pilot is I laughed out loud for 10 mins. Jackie Borwn is my favorite QT film btw. Love the relationship between Grier & Forster. So well written.

Quentin is the best, love his movies. Wish he would acted more though

[@samfisher2306]

I don't think this guy is capable of making a bad movie. He's just too good!

That’s what I love about Tarantino! His art is so unique when you watch his movies it’s the dialogue it’s the tiny nuisances like feet or milkshakes or tasty burger. And my favorite thing about Tarantino is his soundtracks! He always picks the best songs best fitted for the situation

[@ItsGippetto]

[@PC.NickRowan]

Quentin Tarantino is a true artist! His creations aren't planned or calculated. It start's off with an idea, and no clue how it's going to end. A true artist doesn't know what he's doing, he doesn't know what he's gonna do or how it's going to look when it's done. He just takes his canvas and creates. That's what Tarantino does from a film writers perspective, he takes his canvas with an idea, begins to write, and spontaneously concludes it step by step as he gets there. That ladies & gentlemen, is true art! Problem you have nowadays in Hollywood, are a bunch of screen writers conjuring a calculated story with a calculated script, release a mediocre and easily forgettable film for the quick cash grabs. When I look at the likes of the new Star Wars for instance (I mention it because they talk about the force awakens in this interview) that was single handedly the most calculated film that I have ever seen.

Howard is the king of interview questions. I think Rogan is great at getting his guests to feel comfortable (the pot and whiskey seems to help) but Howard asks questions that I myself would love to ask.

[@dylann7]

I want to know which Tarantino scenes were improvised. Ex. Scorsese’s long club scene in GoodFellas (the day of filming he couldn’t use the front door but in hindsight created an iconic scene by thinking on the spot) also the black and white fighting scene in kill bill vol. the MPAA told Quentin in cut the amount of blood but instead he just made it black and white but it became an homage to old Kung fu movies who would the same trick to make the film acceptable for American tv
