Quentin Tarantino on Raising Arizona

[@SHAAAAAAAAAARKS]

Raising Arizona felt like a Wile E Coyote cartoon brought to life…in the best way possible. They were doing new things, but it felt familiar. Such a great film.

[@ianlarsen]

I used to hang out with a friend who was a former pastor who was changing his outlook a bit and exploring the world in a way that had been alien to him previously. He liked movies and had a few old favourites, but wanted to fill in gaps where he hadn't been taking things in, so to speak. One movie night I showed him Raising Arizona, and the moment the credits rolled at the end he said, "Whoever made that movie had a vision."

[@maxtubb8560]

One of my favorite Coen Brothers films if not one of favorite movies of all time.

[@Redmenace96]

Everyone loves Fargo, but I think this is their best film. It is outrageous, and exceptionally creative with the camera work.

[@aktosweden]

I doubt many people think Fargo is their best movie.

“Son. You got a pantie on your head!” Kills me every time!🤣

If you watch the scene between the bride and Elle Driver (Kill Bill Vol 2) fight in the caravan where she loses an eye you can clearly see he lifted the entire fight scene from when the two criminals kidnap the baby in this film.

[@fuferito]

I was gonna say exactly this.

When he scratches his hands on the ceiling was funny

This and Big Lebowski never ever get old for me. Funny every time I watch them.

One of my favorite movies of all time. And then they made Barton Fink, which is my #1 Favorite Movie.

Miller's Crossing is a full on take of classical movies, They're wild!!

[@Able406]

The sleeper choice for best Coen Brothers movie. It’s my personal favorite

[@Stream_King]

You could make the argument that evil dead two is the real ground breaker for the the way it was shot.

[@WKelleyLucas_KustomScatterguns]

Raising Arizona is a perfect movie... It also has the greatest number of incredible quotes. You cannot change my mind.

[@joshmcintyre]

You are correct, sir. “Well, ok then…”

My favorite movie. Followed by Glengarry Glen Ross

[@LeviBoldock]

@@WKelleyLucas_KustomScatterguns I watched Glengarry Glen Ross for the first time last year. Loved it, and wished I'd watched it sooner.

I saw it when it came out. I was 20 and it has been my #1 since then also.

[@jodi2847]

Imagine taking your 8-year-old to see this in the theater, cuz that's how old I was, and I friggin' loved it! Those who made "The Minecraft Movie" think kids are stupid, but they love good films like anyone else.

[@greyeyed123]

I remember seeing the original Time Bandits when I was 6 or 7. They literally blew up the dog, and I guess the parents too, at the end of that (children's?) movie, lol. I guess we were just tougher children back then.

[@keaton718]

Why not just let Coen Brothers make the Minecraft movie then.

[@randall9000]

@@greyeyed123I’m the other person who saw Time Bandits. Great movie, my dad had it on vhs saw it many times

just because kids like this movie, that doesnt mean they wont also like the minecraft movie too

[@DonCorleone0]

Nicolas Cage told that when he was working on Raising Arizona he’d often tell the Coens: “I’m getting that super 8 feeling”. When Quentin talked about the shots in this movie i understand exactly what Nic was talking about.

[@AnonymousAccount514]

yes...my first introduction to the Coen Brothers...it still blows me away.

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

It never dawned on me how similar the camera work is between Raising Arizona and Evil Dead 2.

[@Fakeaorta]

Those guys all were friends before they made it big in Hollywood. Raimi bros, Coens, Frances, and Bruce Campbell.

[@jacquesdugger5989]

At 0:58, the restroom door reads "P.O.E." and "O.P.E.", a reference to the code sequence in "Dr. Strangelove".

[@argentokaos2629]

OK, I'm gonna say it (if nobody else will): the *sound editing* is getting pretty nutty in here, dudes. :D If you're gonna have a video clip of a famous director praising a movie's technical achievements sky-high (maybe even--- a little higher than deserved), then the sound quality shouldn't be like a sixth-grader discovering his first four-track. :D

[@adamchampion7686]

This was my favorite movie as a child growing up in Arizona. I remember at a very young age thinking I may not understand all of this, but look at the way it’s filmed!!! You could tell the uniqueness and style and filming techniques were masterful subconsciously at a young age, and it gave me a feeling like I’m watching something special every time.. The diaper robbery/chase scene is still one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. The music is spectacular too.

[@bsdgffishtuna5186]

One of my best friends answered questions for the police following a murder on his street. When they asked him what he was wearing at the time, he had to tell them he was wearing his pyjamas. They asked, "What did the pyjamas look like?" He had to tell them, "They were Star Wars pyjamas." Then I sent him that clip of Nathan Arizona, it couldn't have been more perfect.

I always felt like the fight in the trailer between Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill Vol 2 was an homage to the fight between Nic Cage and John Goodman in Raising Arizona.

[@russellj.collerjr.5547]

. I'm about 75% sure that Uma scraped her knuckles on the popcorn ceiling... but who can be sure at this point ? . (maybe it was in the coffin underground... oh well) .

[@deeg8849]

Coen Brothers are the best film makers from 1990 onwards. No contest. Love QT, but he generally is making the same flick over and over again (revenge). The breadth and depth of the Coen’s work is unreal. They do it all. Drama, comedy, suspense, great stories, non predictable casting, etc etc. they make cinema in the truest sense of the word

[@belachaney]

Nonsense, RD(not revenge), PF(not revenge), JB(not revenge), H8(not revenge), OUATIH(not revenge)

[@killgoretrout9000]

@@belachaney I like Tarantino but he does not have the Coen's range as a filmmaker he's not gonna do character studies like the Coen's did with The Man Who Wasn't There or a Serious Man and to a large extent Barton Fink. Also nobody writes better dialogue than the Coens and the dialogue styles they write in are vastly different just compare Raising Arizona with Miller's Crossing with Fargo the dialogue in each is completely different stylistically but brilliant in every one. As good as Tarantino's dialogue is it still always sounds like something out of an Elmore Leonard novel.

In Fargo where Minnesota where Coens brothers are 90% majority are German and Scandinavian descent to explain German humor but first Minnesota joke was in Raising Arizona about gas station clerk explain joke that round is funny, which round is not very serious.

So you just take clips from interviews, make your little thumbnail in photoshop, publish it and get views. You didn’t conduct the interviews, you don’t have any connection to any of these people, but you make money doing this? How much money does KZbin actually pay you? And how is there not copyright strikes for just taking this material from other people? That just seems wrong to me.

[@Asicasters]

Yeah that’s what they do, but it’s a lot of work to find, compile and edit interviews then find, compile and edit footage pertaining to it. This is a lot of work and it’s extremely satisfying and easy to watch for viewers. That deserves whatever the creator gets and probably more, in my opinion.
