Quentin Tarantino: Worst to Best

[@treytison1444]

This is one of the wildest takes I've ever heard on Kill Bill from a Tarantino fan.

[@alexbaker9578]

I don't think you can really call him a fan

[@myronsanders4563]

My views on the 2 films are in reverse. Part 2 bored me to death. Outside of the fight in the trailer w/ Uma and Daryl Hannah and the "Superman" Monologe by Bill at rhe end it did nothing for me. Part 1 I liked a lot. Yea, it's basically empty calories but it's a lot of fun to watch

[@mendyhamou-6899]

Folks I think he ranked kill bill last on purpose as a distraction, so we won't pay attention to the fact that he ranked Jackie Brown higher than Django. Genius.

[@lakimball]

As a Tarantino worshipper let me defend Landa's character a bit. It makes sense for Landa to decide to make a deal with the U.S. and turn himself in. He's just an opportunist. I feel as if he's only a Nazi officer because that was the job that would net him the most power. The guy believes in nothing but himself, he's a fraud. The only thing he probably truly has in common with Nazis is that he's evil as shit. I expect he isn't as nationalistic as most SS officers. I don't think its out of character for him to betray the Reich on such a whim. He tells the French farmer that he loves his "Jew Hunter" moniker, but tells Aldo Raine with contempt that it's "just a name that stuck". He only wants power and recognition and does not seem to care all that much from which world power he receives it from, be it Germany or the United States. I think he's smart enough to realize that Germany would not end up winning the Second World War and decides to take the opportunity to end the war for the U.S. and let himself be lauded as an Allied hero. It's his insane hubris that makes him seem kind of foolish to think he'd get away from Aldo scott-free. He was being silly to believe Aldo would accept his surrender unconditionally, even if the U.S. General told him to do so. Still, I think it's a decision that makes sense for his character.

[@thecozykinoshow]

Okay, fair enough, I guess I just don't see sufficient evidence for the characterisation you're talking about. You seem to be assuming stuff about Landa instead of the film showing these things. But I'm willing to accept I'm wrong on this as most people think he is an all-time movie villain. I'll give the film another go in the near-future. Thanks for the comment :)

[@lakimball]

Yes most of what I said are inferences.@@thecozykinoshow Thanks for the video. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... is sneakily becoming my favorite Tarantino. Gets better every viewing.

[@TMThesaurus]

@@thecozykinoshow Anyone in his position who wasn't blinded by ideology could see that Germany couldn't possibly stop the Soviet Union by that point in the war. I think you can use Landa's changing position on his "Jew Hunter" nickname as (weak) evidence of his opportunism. That being said, the reason he's considered a great villain is because of Waltz's portrayal, not the writing.

[@Mightbeloony]

@@thecozykinoshow Just to add another lens this scene can be viewed from. During the final days of the war, the US did a lot to pretty much smuggle high ranking Nazis in an effort to get a leg up on the coming conflict with the Russians. Operation Paperclip is the best example of these efforts. So when I first viewed the scene, much like Lakim, I thought this was just Landa acting in self preservation and Raine rejecting Landa his happy ending. Landa never would have dreamed Raine would have the audacity to brand him. At least thats my take. Great vid.

[@mcultras]

I honestly don’t think Inglorious bastards holds up very well as a whole. Specific scenes are brilliant but by the time the theater scene rolls around it kind of falls apart.

[@Zed-fq3lj]

Agree. It has three magnificent scenes, peak film-making and that's it, on the whole, weak.

[@ManiacMayhem7256]

I like that film. It also has two extremely contradictory messages that hurt the film

[@underrated4499]

The bastards need way more scenes in the movie

[@davidbutler1622]

As a kid I skipped Jackie Brown because it wasn’t as hyped. I watched it for the first time about 10 years ago and was blown away by how good it was. Definitely his most underrated film. I love telling people who haven’t seen it to go and watch it straight away. They always send me a text afterwards.

[@studioseppuku9454]

Hans doesn't 'surrender' in Basterds, he thinks he can leverage the situation to cash out just at the right moment as the Reich falls to gain the most in the deal. It ties in perfectly with his character thinking that he is always the cleverest man in the room who always outsmarts his opponents. Perfectly summed up in his line 'Let's make a deal'. Even though he has studied the Basterds and knows how they mark people his ego thinks he is above that, being very German and believing in the hierarchy of leadership ie Aldo's General gave an order so it will be followed. Just sucked for him Aldo has been chewed out before and thinks it's worth it.

[@michaelwcrosby]

Yes, I agree with you. The Landa character is one of extreme arrogance. A psychopathic narcissist would believe that he is so clever and in control, that he could waltz out with complete immunity and safety. He operated for so long with everyone around him in total terror of his every whim and mood, that he could not grasp the willingness of anyone else being willing to disregard a general's orders and slice him up because of their complete and utter contempt of him. Also, when he included the Bastards in the negotiations for some token benefit, he would think that the Bastards would be appreciative and that he would be arrogant enough to believe that such would keep him safe.

[@huskymajin]

Blade Runner as style over substance is a jarring take

[@wezzuh2482]

Blade runner is one of those rare instances where the style IS the substance.

[@nolanscripture]

Blade Runner is equal parts style and substance. Remarkable film.

[@hoophypecasperheck8157]

Yeah the amount of subtext in bladerunner makes it absolutely insane to call a style over substance especially since it not even a homage to a style it basically created the cyberpunk style

[@BRinMilwaukee]

good to hear someone else actually loved The Hateful Eight, which is my favorite Tarantino movie

[@kennethconnally4356]

Some other movies that reveal the ending (or its aftermath) in the opening scene: Citizen Kane Fight Club Portrait of a Lady on Fire Saving Private Ryan Sunset Boulevard In literature, Romeo and Juliet begins with a prologue that tells us the "star-crossed" lovers will die, ending the feud between their parents' families. The most famous episodes in Homer's Odyssey take place in a 4-book-long flashback narrated by Odysseus himself, whom we know will survive while all his men will die. The Great Gatsby is one of a jillion classic novels narrated retrospectively that begin with a glimpse into the narrator's life and attitude after the story's events. I guess a lot of writers share Tarantino's nihilistic streak and deliberately ruin their own stories.

That's the point of the comparison? I'm not crazy about Fury Road, but it's not sarcastic trash... Kill Bill is intentionally shit in a way you can't even enjoy it ironically like you could some bootlegged D-grade HK flick from the 80s you found on VHS at a flea market 30 years ago.

I think it's more or so the conflicting genre and theme of the movie that muddied the water of the idea

[@JasperBelson]

I also find the end of Inglorious Basterds to be possibly comparable to No Country for Old Men, but in a good way. Landa and Anton have a similar almost unknown outlook. They don’t have normal villainous morals or principles. Landa doesn’t really believe any of the Nazi crap, he just wants to manipulate people and survive with excess. That’s how I see it at least.

[@FatherTime89]

The ending to Inglorious Basterds doesn't seem out of character to me. IIRC Hans said/implied in the beginning he's only hunting Jews for the Nazis because it pays well and he's good at it, not out of dislike for Jews. So it gives his character a sel-centered mercenary vibe, with no strong loyalty to the Nazis. Him turning on them for a full pardon and a cushy retirement paid for by the Allies seems like something he might do if he seriously thought the Nazis were going to lose the war anyway.

Quentin's most trusted ally and massive contributor to his visual style, his editor Sally Menke passed away just before Django which is why the editing feels weird and not as tight.

[@wagnerstefan601]

Tarantino's biggest problem is, that he made his by far best movie at the beginning of his career - Pulp Fiction. I love Kill Bill 1 but in all honesty, there's more c/p in that one than in all of his other works combined, just watch Urami Bushi and see where he got his inspiration from.

[@kredonystus7768]

I think I'm the only person who will argue Once Upon a Time in Hollywood would have been better if it was longer. We needed more from the Manson gang. They felt completely jammed in at the end so Tarantino could get that violent end. It relies upon your knowledge of the real story to fill in the gaps, so I think we needed at least some short scenes as set up for the eventual culmination.

[@domcoke]

I saw Reservoir Dogs at the cinema when it came out.... and I am so with you on Kill Bill - SO with you. He's better than a bloody cartoony exploitation flick. And you sum that up beautifully. I was fully prepared for this list to culminate in Kill Bill, or Inglorious Basterds, or Once Upon a Time... to be top - but to see what I think remain the greatest Tarantino films in your top 2 is extremely encouraging. Given that you sound pretty young. And you are bang on. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are absolutely him at the peak of his powers.

1. Django Unchained 2. Inglorious Basterds 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Reservoir Dogs 5. The Hateful 8 6. Jackie Brown 7. Once Upon a Time... 8. Death Proof 9. Kill Bill-I flip-flop on 1, 2, and 3 all the time, from the human triumph of Django to Inglorious Basterds' anti-critic diatribe or the sheer mastery of Pulp Fiction. The slow burners of Dogs, Hateful, Jackie Brown, and Once Upon a Time are all also masterpieces. Death Proof is easily Tarantino's most misunderstood and underrated, and I wish he'd do another horror film. For me, Kill Bill only works cohesively as a single film, and then an anti-climatic ending hits. As a standalone, the ending to Volume 2 doesn't have the impact needed to bring the story to a proper close. I know Tarantino says his next film will be his last and it looks like it'll be another love letter to Hollywood, but the dude really needs to make a foot fetish porno already and just get it out of his system.

He surrenders because thats his best option at the time! he always looks out for himself in every way and that’s just an extension of that!!!!

You are alone in the kill bill take. It’s actually so concerning that is your opinion on that movie💀

I can’t complain about your kill bill take cuz I lowkey feel the same about Django, fun action and charismatic acting, but missing the soul and look of a great western
