[@CC-si3cr]

"the last movie Bruce Willis actually wanted to be in." What does that even mean??? When did Bruce say that? Pulp Fiction came out in 1994. He has made countless amazing movies since Pulp Fiction. So you are saying that the 50+ movies he has been in since Pulp Fiction he didn't want to be in at all? Die Hard with a Vengeance (2nd movie with Samuel L. Jackson) The Fifth Element The Jackal Armageddon The Sixth Sense The Story of Us The Whole Nine Yards His arch on Friends Unbreakable (3rd movie with Samuel L. Jackson) Sin City 16 Blocks None of these movies were to his liking ONLY Pulp Fiction? He was just collecting a paycheck, going through the motions, and pining for his days on the set of Pulp Fiction. I don't think so!

I always liked Tarantino's early film lighting, particularly Resoivoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. There's something kind of dream-like about them.

[@Fred-zk3wv]

We as film viewers don't show enough appreciation to the complex creativities involved in movie making. We get so caught up and drawn into watching the actors perform that we ignore most of the surroundings. Those small details like lighting are extremely marginalized by viewers but understandably not the viewers fault. They are so well done to the point we hardly pay attention to those small details. Kudos to all the hard working and creatively minded people in the industry.

[@erakfishfishfish]

Think of it this way: the best compliment you can give to a VFX person is to say you didn’t realize it was a special effect. You don’t always notice good lighting, but you’ll certainly notice bad lighting.

[@hide_on__bush]

the BTS shot of the highway scene in Once Upon a Time is nothing short of amazing! So much work went into making something look normal, but a specific kind of normal that just feels right. Personally, I think that the narrative of the film wasn't anything spectacular, but I believe that the movie is a masterpiece in terms of the art of filmmaking and the physical worldbuilding done by Tarantino's team

[@ProdigalJay]

When i watch the movie it just feels right and I don't think much about it. But watching this video it makes total sense that its a crazy shoot to do.

I'd love the movie just for that if I also didn't agree that the film quality was top notch. This video shows what being a filmmaker is all about and what you can do with any size budget if you're smart. Loved this!

[@acetofresh1]

It definitely was an excellent narrative in my opinion, it just didn't follow a normative structure. The narrative was character-driven with slice of life elements that provide with the viewer of an idyllic time in Hollywood's golden age, so the viewer could experience within 3 hours the era Tarantino knew and loved, and shaped who he was to became. It's become mainstream to hate on it because it wasn't an action film like most of tarantino's works , but it held his key sense of affection. Tarantino's greatness is much deeper than his stylized action influenced by east asian cinema. It is among his best works imo, and his most personal.

Daniel Day Lewis instead of Travolta in PulpFiction, damn, didnt know the studio wanted that.. Knowing Tarantino he probably wanted Travolta solely for the dance scene

[@rashan2424]

[@reservoirfrogs2177]

Daniel would have been great but Travolta was a much better fit for the character

[@gregorylagrange]

@@reservoirfrogs2177 Daniel Day Lewis wouldn't fit with the unique humor blending with the violence. He's a great actor, but not for the type of movie that Pulp Fiction is. Travolta played it just right to contrast with Samuel L Jackson. However, whoever wanted William Hurt is symbolic of how movies can start out great in the idea and initial crafting, but can turn out bad when other people need to put their input into it and the originators loose control of their concept. Sean Penn wouldn't fit either. But who would have been good was Danny Aiello.

[@lukeholman7574]

I don’t think Lewis could pull off the “Cool” factor like Travolta. Travolta gives the character a cool nonchalance I think almost no other actor could pull off. Too bad his career had been suck a sad sack of movies the last couple decades.

One exploit he was involved in, the Tbilisi bank heist, would be absolutely _perfect_ for a screen adaptation. Stealing shitloads of cash from the Tsarist monarchy to fund revolutionary efforts, having the heist itself go perfectly, but only to have the whole thing ultimately thwarted by European banking cartels tracking the 500 Rubel notes, making it all pointless.

Nice! Good job, keep 'em coming. I used to work for a small company shooting the titles for movies on film back in the day. We used the 5245 for Credit rolls bc. it had such deep black and low grain. Also worth noting that this kind of material (though not from the same batches) might had been lying around in many places like our cmpany then and film students would often have easy and relatively cheap access to it when in need to stock up. That said, to light play scenes for a movie with it is quite the challenge and in Reservoir Dogs it shows.

Most of the budget for once upon a time was blown on hiring Brad Pitt, Dicaprio and Harley quinn. The scope of pulp fiction is not much different and John Travolta was in a situation where he needed a career boost so he didn't demand much to play the role which did end up reviving his career.

It’s a shooting technique where widescreen footage is shot on 35mm film

[@SunsetofMana]

I loved this video! Thank you for making it and I hope to see more!

[@getreal2592]

Half the freakin’ budget of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood went to Leo and Brad. Lmao

[@erakfishfishfish]

Surprisingly, a bit less than that. Leo and Pitt got $10mil each. But yeah, over 20% of the budget’s still no joke.

[@user-ik2zr1cx1u]

It paid off though both Leo and Brad were just amazing in the movie To be honest everyone did a great job, I don‘t think that Tarantino accepts anything less than that 😂

[@jonathannagel7427]

I think an advantage to using hot direct lighting might be that 1) the actors sweat (literally and figuratively) as they feel completely in the “limelight,” and also 2) it enthralls QT to see his actors doing his bidding, as he (again, literally and figuratively) gets to direct them in “his light.”

[@tiberiius]

have you done a video about denis villeneuve? that would be really interesting.

just wanna say man that is one of the best thumbnails that I have ever seen

Am I the only one who loved once upon a time in Hollywood?!

[@FabledGentleman]

it's a pretty universally acclaimed movie, so no.

[@EvanNeely]

after achieving that budget there is no going back, really goes down to supporting characters and what the show requires to be able to put on

Is not about how much money You have, is how You used for the movie.

not even half way through this vid and subbed, love you telling how it was filmed and done and that really it was all done to perfection for a much lower price than some movies that are shit!!!

[@josephasghar]

I thought Dogs was a masterpiece, but he quickly became drunk on his success. Tarantino needs reigning in.

When it comes to cinema I have always been more interested in the creative side. What goes on in front of the lens. I have never been one of those ppl that needs to know how the sausage is made. I didn't know what to expect from this video about Tarantino's budget levels. Very interesting and well laid out. Great work went into stylizing the video and great work went into the details.

[@DialloMoore503]

Most of the creative stuff in cinema goes on BEHIND the camera.

[@CC-si3cr]

@@DialloMoore503 There is creativity in front and behind the lens. I tend to like what's done in front. Set design is very creative. We see that in front of the lens. Character growth throughout the movie is seen in front of the lens. I like looking @ wardrobe and the colors assigned to characters, what sets are used or what sites were scouted. These are things that interest me in cinema.

[@RighteousBrother]

And Resevoir Dogs is still his best film.

[@chrishetrick]

you spelled django unchained kinda weird 😅

[@charlesmiller6281]

Outstanding! Fascinating new perspective on one of our great living legends and one of the all time great directors. All his films just seem to get better over time and this insight adds even more appreciation of his mastery of the craft. Much appreciated!

[@christiansoldier77]

The more money he spent the less bang for the buck he got

[@witchsorrowful1918]

Excellent video. The effort into lighting really does wonders for his films.
