He's a true genius, and I'm not one to over play it. You'd have to be a real fool to not appreciate his artistic directing and writing skills - even if you don't like his films - you've got to appreciate the absolute insane amount of creativity and genuine hard work and effort that goes into his films. Probably one of the last big time "commercial" (well known) directors left that create amazing movies, one after another.

[@yourmotherslefttesticle3892]

Dam Ned his achievements beg to differ

[@fireballfireball6962]

I agree totally what you said. I think some people dont like him personally so they dont want to admit his genius!

[@info2747]

Brilliant 🎥🎥❤️

[@hahaha430]

He gets all he can from his actors, his camera directions and his music choice are the best. But there is nothing, nothing that can top Tarantino's writing. He is one of the best screenwriters in Hollywood and definitely should get angry whenever someone rewrites his script. Anyone listening to his dialogue it's like music, hilarious music.

[@kezothehappylurker787]

+hahaha430 My ears orgasm whenever I hear his dialogue on screen...

[@MrAlanSnackbar]

+hahaha430 But he steals from better films? And he is a okay writer. Not even close to the best

[@hahaha430]

+Relf Cepter I would say that is a matter of opinion but it isn't. He is a great screenwriter and stealing from films is directing.

[@MrAlanSnackbar]

hahaha430 So you are actually saying as a fact, that he is great? Yeah go watch some more films. Carry on dummy

[@hahaha430]

+Relf Cepter that's exactly what I'm saying.

[@icaro2107]

Tarantino's movies are not about violence, they're about violent people. The main subject isn't the violence itself, but the violent instinct within each character.

[@Rebassed]

dude i dont care if shes like 50 her accent is so fucking sexy

[@kinophilipino739]

Rebassed Milf alert :))

[@Mjtplay]

+Jeff Snag AF COUGAR IS DAMN HOT!!!

[@oliviagiles]

+Rebassed I think he really really likes her too

[@arrowv2334]

+Rebassed Loser. Beta.

[@Apro666]

you know what makes an great director? not just making great movies, but: making a legendary actor like Harvey Keitel wanting to finance your movie! "resurrect" a moviestar like John Travolta and giving his best performance.(imo) "discover" a actor like Chrisoph Waltz who becomes then a Hollywood actor winning 2 Oscars! GENIUS!!! =)

[@starkingbiker]

Haha its exactly the same with me, remembering the names of the people involved in making movies. People think I'm a freak but I just love movies man

[@savedfaves]

+starkingbiker now to make a career from it, somehow

[@rantingwithryan7269]

starkingbiker ur a freak

[@TuanTran-rp3hv]

Im like the only one who knows all the names and it annoys my friends , LoL

[@dheerajhazarika1836]

He is a pure genius. He never went to film school to learn directing, script writing , music etc.Just look at his movies, most of them are blockbusters and have received numerous oscar nods. He himself have own two oscars for screenplay so far. A master of non linear story telling, truly one of best director of all time.

[@sanket7381]

he is so passionate about his work you can see it in his eyes

[@reservoirfrog1]

Great interview. I could listen to him talk about film for hours. Days maybe.

[@ekehernandez]

Weeks maybe

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

BKamron You're a bit oblivious if you cannot understand why QT is highly revered. If you listen to the words in his films - really understand them - and pay attention to the way he films his movies it's absolute genius. I'm a photographer whose dabbled in a little bit of cinematography and I can tell you through direct experience that what he creates requires an immense amount of intelligence, dedication and artistic vision. If you don't like his movies at the very least give him credit for the effort he puts into them. I think you really need to understand QT's movies to like him, he has a definite vision and intention and feel for each and everyone one of them and their characters - if you miss the point it might not be enjoyable, in which case I feel you have.

[@Movielover123451]

He is my absolute hero! I would not want to go in to film if it were not for tarantino. 4 of his movies are on my top 10

[@Horrorfreak106]

I love QT too. The first movie I saw of QT's was Kill Bill. That was the movie that made me realize that I wanted to write and direct movies as my passion. Thank you Quentin, you will always be my hero :)

[@Movielover123451]

He really is a true legend!

[@skateordie002]

Horrorfreak106 Me too. My second was Reservoir Dogs and it blew me away.

[@Movielover123451]

He's a genius in everything he does!

[@MrAlanSnackbar]

+Movielover123451 Wow, you need to watch some more films. Or visit a psychiatrist

[@cevahirileri7594]

I love you, Quentin.

[@xlukatsx]

Great interviewer. She manages to take the conversation so casually and relaxed yet so professionally at an event of this magnitude !

[@Movielover123451]

my hero! he is 90 % of the reason that I want to make movies!

[@conansfries]

I dont mean to demean her or her great work but I just wanted to say Francine Stock is just so beautiful. So elegant. Great interview thanks for posting.

[@daviddzialo]

my inspiration! every thing he says is great.

[@ammorreztristar]

Quentin Tarantino is an incredibly gifted movie director. Genius, and one of a kind x

[@MudderWaY]

great interview, so often tarantino has to deal with judgemental interviewers, so this was refreshing.

[@1NicholasInSeattle]

It's wonderful to be able to sit and watch and listen as the great 'creative-directors' talk about their crafts. Thanks for the moments!

[@brunosupertramp1]

i could keep listening to this guy talking for hours

[@Elrich89]

Brilliant interview, but too short! I could listen to Quentin talk for hours.

[@015chris015]

This guy is a pure genius!

[@maxmaxneolit]

Pure, undiluted genius. Also a great interview (the interviewer kept herself out of the way and just nudged him in this or that direction. Brava!)

[@godlessgeeks]

This guy is a genius!

[@1805movie]

Tarantino is amazingly eccentric and yet unbelievably brilliant at the same time. That's what makes him so great!

[@bryantaylor2427]

Hearing a woman with an English accent introduce a Tarantino movie feels so, naughty.

[@noodles1930]

î can't get over the fact that the interviewer did an incredible job. taming the beast that is tarantino ain't easy. especially getting him to stop rambling on and start talking about his next movie

[@CCumming1000]

I hate school so much !!!!!!!!!!!

[@Guigley]

As an aspiring filmmaker/screenwriter, I've always been inspired by Tarantino's interviews. I feel like I learn something about the craft with each interview.

[@elel2608]

Been watching this dude’s interviews for the last few days. He exemplifies the true DIY spirit. Inspiring.

[@cevahirileri7594]

I love you, Quentin.

[@MalloryKnox66]

Quentin is so amazing. I love his interviews so much. I just want to hug him and thank him for bringing his work into the world. I want to hug him and say "THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS EXIST"

[@lumminity]

I just noticed that, now I can't unsee it

[@loveallthepeople1000]

I got the feeling that the audience were Daily Mail readers.

[@mannylamoso5213]

I know. I also would've really liked them to talk about True Romance and, depending on when this was filmed, Hostel. Everyone always says they don't like Death Proof and how Planet Terror was the better half of Grindhouse, but I personally love it and think it was the stronger half. The visuals were stunning and it left me with a sense of completeness where Planet Terror, while still a great film, didn't. Death Proof is extremely underrated and anyone who hasn't seen it should.

[@daflinstons]

Best QT interview EVER!!! Cant waiti to meet this man...

[@FUdumbass]

I love his orchestra conductor analogy! Never heard that before.

[@RickieScene]

Genius

[@sjkdec18]

Geez what a great interview. Quentin is always interesting but this lady was great!

[@chynnhowe]

I didn't expect him to be so well spoken and down to earth.

[@scottmanduzy]

amazing how QT can rewrite the events that end WW 2 and still entertain us all!

[@KingsofCowan]

i love you i miss you please don't leave me i can't live without you you and me

[@N1ckD22]

best director,scriptwriter,producer and brilliant actor. all round legend.

[@TheStandupz]

Quentin Tarantino is my idol. I love this man and I haven't even had the honour to meet him. He has inspired my filmaking and altered my reality through the world he creates in his wonderful films that will live throughout history as one of the most inventive and creative films ever written. My hopes and dreams are not to become like Mr. Tarantino but to learn from him and have him as my theoretical mentor. Thank you Mr. Tarantino for making my life just that little bit more wonderful.

[@gordonsung5941]

Good for him. Everything in life is a Do It Yourself. Rather than going to college or a technical/vocational institution, one should actually get into the field first and going to the library/online and spend couple of years by yourself and teaching yourself before heading into college/tech school. That way, one is genuinly interested in the subject, case in point filming and actually do well and be more prepared and actually create a real film. Do it yourself is the best type of education there is because your failures will actually teach you more than learning from books and solely on books.

[@james5995]

5:01 Why did Quentin say "However" in an English accent? Lol.

[@goodlivergang6403]

James that's what happens when you spend time with people speaking in a different accent haha. Especially when you're an actor. Quentin cut his teeth acting and making "my best friend's birthday" so it's not surprising he did that. He's also pretty good with accents.

[@doomkeepercanada]

Apart from Australian.

[@amsheel9921]

That happens to me too. Depending who I'm talking to, I'll pronounce certain words in a different accent almost unconsciously.

[@HeyYouIngles]

@@goodlivergang6403 hey dude, do you think "Best Friend" as Red Apple canon? I do. First time we're introduced to Aldo Raine and Clarenece Worely :D

[@HeyYouIngles]

min 5:01 Whatevah with yer "Howevah" :D

[@boredinthought]

really excellent review of QT. very enjoyable to watch the working of his mind.

[@dicksi12345]

tarantino is wicked! love his atitude, love his films, tis the best

[@shehan123]

he is such a great interview

[@igorflexus9493]

Wonderful interview, thanx for uploading :)

[@indycolts8798]

so awesome

[@MichaelChapman18]

So cool to see him descirbe us his love for Landa and Christoph as Landa.

[@MrGearsOfWar96]

Tarentino is like a child but thats what makes him fun to listen too.

[@Anomaliayt]

truly awesome

[@saiyanbubu1628]

Fantastic person! Thanks for the awesome movies we all can see thanks to you!

[@Rawinho]

awesome!!! thanks for posting....

[@EveForbiddenFruit]

Great interview, but I really wish people would stop ignoring Death Proof. It's one of my favorite Tarantino movies (right behind Kill Bill), and I never feel like it gets the appreciation it deserves.

[@UsedPanties]

One of my favourite directors! His film dialogue pwn all.

[@cevahirileri7594]

I love you, Quentin.

[@Bad_At_Parties]

Great interview. Quentin is fascinating.

[@nickprezzo]

If Tarantino took a shit on my doorstep I would kiss it and love it for the rest of my life. He's a fucking genius and I'm not saying that lightly, he is

[@billwilliamson7765]

He's good but that's a bit fucked

[@emilemchew]

We need that in a QT movie

[@sarathwijemanna4235]

dan forrester

[@sarathwijemanna4235]

Emil Chew

[@Jewishguywithbignose]

I love him so much...

[@JoeGamer81]

Exactly. And he address that in this video by talking about how people quite often read references and allusions that simply aren't there, or at least not consciously made. I feel like people force these things into Tarantino movies because they've been conditioned to believe film must be introspective and "deep" in order to be artistic. But they really don't. They don't have to mean something other than what they mean, if you follow. QT's movies are art, even when the depth is an illusion.

[@Xelanderthomas]

A note to young screen writers trying to make it in the business. Ignore all the advice given by Tarantino as to the way you do things unless you're already a staggering genius. Trust me, if most you go in telling them they can't change your precious script, your precious script won't get done.

[@joefoster19]

love the way he's wearing converse with a suit!

[@cinesheikh]

Usually I listen to this stuff at 1.25 speed but Quentin talks so damn fast lol

[@thepokermyth]

yep this is definitely the best person to watch talk. the best!

[@leonreaper90]

does he say ''However'' in a british accent? Sounds peculiar 5:02

[@elstripper]

"laugh laugh, stop laughing, be horrified" my exact reactions to Django Unchained, good show Quentin!

[@megadeth1100]

Great interview, I love his movies! :-)

[@ImakeYouSee]

Thank you very much appreciate your convenience i'm absolutely grateful

[@84Elenai]

He's such a great guy. An obviously a great director. Love you Quentin

[@jopmota]

god, this is awesome

[@wallooga]

But I appreciate and respect your comments. Nice to read an intelligent / real viewpoint for a change.

[@matteuklol]

amazing director

[@cowell333]

greatest dialogue writer of all time

[@scabycat]

Hey congratulations ! U really have excelled urself with ur intelligent and in depth appraisal of my arguments and shown amazing levels of articulation and expression. I am sure U R just the type of audience Tarantino is aiming his films at !!!.

[@simplelife88393]

Great director, awesome upload... those 29 minutes flew

[@69adrummer]

Those chairs look horribly uncomfortable. Way to uptight and stuffy.

[@123Jimjamjub]

69adrummer That's what all chairs are like here in england

[@johnk.lindgren5940]

+69adrummer I agree.

[@ech07as]

Absolute legend!

[@Superrob24]

The guy is an amazing talent, i hope he has alot more films inside him for our viewing pleasure.

[@JarredG1]

that was great

[@blahblahbal_somy]

Love that guy

[@jiayunlim]

I think he never said he was one of the best filmmakers or writers of all time. Those were labels given to him by people and to earn such labels, his works must have shown some impact. He also mentioned in this interview how he was often misinterpreted, like how some scenes are seen as homages when they really aren't. And frankly, I think this is one of the most honest interviews I've seen and he's been nothing but himself. So, all I'm saying is: RESPECT THE DUDE.

[@malo_primo]

He looks like a giant in that chair.

[@utubeisCensorred]

He is a T H I C C guy, not very healthy haha

[@tf2weekly]

I'm a screenwriter and I wish I could write like this man. I will give it my all, but I doubt I'll ever have his finesse.

[@SephTunes]

Makes me want to watch a movie of his.

[@CoreyAMarr]

The best type of person!

[@Grandifame]

Happy birthday Quentin !

[@GarciansVortex]

@trilseka im excited!!!!!

[@nichmiller455]

they skipped death proof lol

[@Bazza598]

I think a younger or more fun interviewer was needed, along with a younger audience waaaaaaaaaaaay too conservative for Tarantino's awesomeness :)

[@Orlando136]

Bazza598 It's Bafta, man. James Franco at the Oscars was awesome though.

[@frodobeggins562]

+Bazza598 true. not even younger or more fun but just a person who actually LOVES movies and this lady doesn't. In fact I highly doubt she even knows what real love is

[@ethidian3444]

Retarded thought. The interviewer did a phenomenal job of using her prepped knowledge to get Tarantino into the interview setting while he was clearly nervous.

[@TheMightyHartley]

Great interview. Tarantino is eccentric and very interesting. By the way, if the BBC were hell-bent on giving the Film 2010 gig to a woman, they should have offered it to Francine Stock. Intelligent, attractive, has cinematic knowledge, good interview and presenting skills.....she would have been great.

[@longlivethemorrow]

I love foreign films also. Roshomon is one my favorite movies ever. Werner Herzog is a huge influence on me. Guy Ritchie, Danny Boyle and Edgar Wright are some of my favorites as well. 60's French new wave genre films rock. Baz Luhrmann kicks ass. I just didn't name most of these folks because this comment section is finite. They belong in the "etc." part of my comment, but they're there. Guillermo del Toro and Alejandro Almodovar are too brilliant, John Woo's Hong Kong films are sublime also.

[@Gameremag]

good interview

[@spanishinquisition5508]
