when a great director creates his own genre, then subverts it

#tarantino #onceuponatimeinhollywood #cinema
There's certain directors that have such a distinct style that there films have almost become a genre in and of itself, Wes Anderson, Yorgos Lanthimos, and - the subject of this video - Tarantino. Over the past few decades Tarantino has developed a number of trademarks - conversational dialogue, graphic violence, needle drops. But in his latest film - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - he subverts these trademarks. He brings a new unique take on the things audiences have come to expect from his films, join me as we explore how he does this.

[@cacogenicist]

The final Tarantino film will be Tarantino doing a parody of a Tarantino film about Tarantino films ... until it all collapses into a singularity of infinite Tarantino recursion parody.

[@seanboyize]

These movie critic rumors are confirming your theory

[@Im-the-greatest]

Id watch that

[@MrPepelongstockings]

That's what it was going to be as he'd announced it until recently though. 'The Movie Critic' is the title of his 2025 planned release for his final movie (his second, final movie) but was just recently scrapped as of April 2024. I believe he'd said prior it would be as much; a critique on both directors and movie critics, and a celebration of both at the same time.

[@Wayleran]

Sounds more like a Christopher Nolan film.

They way I just watched this whole video without even moving a single inch from my chair and didn't get bored even for a single second shows how good the video actually is. Quentin is undoubtedly my favourite director of all time and this certainly is my favourite "Quentin Tarantino" video.

[@computer_toucher]

Orson Welles is /my/ fave director of all time, for obvious reasons, but Tarantino is a good #2. After that comes Scorcese and all the others. This video is really good, made me watch just like I watch a Tarantino movie - completely sucked in and attentive.

[@sooperd00p]

That movie is so creepy. Some of the worst acting I've seen in a while with the exception of Leo Decaprio...i thought he was great in it. Other than that, it's one of the worst Tarantino movies. Jackie Brown is far away his best film.

[@rockinresurrection6542]

​​@@sooperd00p My experience is that people who call "Jackie Brown" his best or his "most mature" film, usually don't understand what Tarantino is all about.

[@petergriffen1696]

@@rockinresurrection6542to be fair I think Jackie brown is very underrated but I agree

[@blurryface616]

"Tarantino's style has almost become a genre in and of itself." You couldn't have said it better. Great video essay.

[@Selrisitai]

I think most people with genuine skill can be said to make movies in their own genre. Woody Allen, Wes Anderson. I feel like M. Night was heading in that direction, and whatever you want to say about the ending, The Village is _masterfully_ directed, and kind of where I would have thought he would be pushing himself. Spielberg's great, but his uniqueness (other than the unique quality of actually being a skillful movie-maker) seems to come more from the camera work.

[@greentaigo2552]

@@Selrisitai I think Spielberg has more of a unique aesthetic than Tarantino to be honest, Tarantino is very inspired by grindhouse and exploitation flicks and you can see the 'Tarantino style' in a lot of those. He's very open about the fact a lot of his movies are basically just cinematic collage's of the movies that inspire him. He did manage to make that style more mainstream and polished so that the average person can enjoy them but I think considering his style very unique is overstating it.

[@tejassingh377]

Something I noticed was that a great deal of his style and aesthetic was inspired by the cinema of Jim Jarmusch. For instance, dialogs Tarantino's movies seem interestingly similar to the style of conversation in Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes. Also, the photography, framing and overall direction in movies like Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards is really similar to a lot of Jarmusch's work, and he isn't half as known as Tarantino.

[@babyguey340]

He rips other movies off 👏🏽

[@RevolutionaryLoser]

You know, I never realized the character of Cliff is a deconstruction of the Hollywood action hero. He has all the traits: the athleticism, the nerves of steel, the looks, the violence, the expertise and the tragic backstory and yet he isn't any kind of hero, he is sad failure of a man that struggles to fit in anywhere. He's reviled by his equals and is only good for jumping out windows and fixing TV antennas. Damn.

[@boiledelephant]

Yeah something about his character resonated as both admirable and reprehensible at the same time. Deconstruction is the right word for it. I've known plenty of guys like him IRL who just fail to fit in, achieve social standing or hold down jobs because the traits that align them with antiheroes in storytelling make them totally unreliable and risky as husbands, friends, employees, business partners.

[@rockaway0beach]

Once Upon A Time is the closest we have to a true drama from Tarantino. Behind the layers of love for cinema history, the references, the suspense building from intersecting with the Manson family, the true story is the struggle within the characters. The plot revolves around the main question "Has the world went on without me?" "Am I important? Will I ever? Has I been and now i don't?". The cut scene when everybody congratulates Rick and he just cries in bliss always break me, It's not the face of success and breakthrough, but of reassuring himself. He is a tragic figure, and we make his journey alongside. Might be the most human of all of Quentin's films.

[@yavantii3615]

Gotta say it's unfortunately also one of his most boring ones in my opinion. Just watched it the firs time. There's probably an audience for this type of movies, but I can't say that it managed to really hook me at all. It felt like the requirement for this movie was that I would like the characters and would wanna know more about them like going about day-2-day stuff. But when that box isn't ticking off then you're just kinda getting stuck for the next 3h with them, and then there's a 20min grand finale where some action happens, that was nice but didn't really repay for the rest. Idk I feel like you kinda have to be in the hollywoood/tarantina meta of it all to really appreciate it, and usually i like QT movies, but this just didn't really do it for me.

[@travismcnasty4239]

I interpreted it as a buddy comedy.

[@Khwerz]

@@yavantii3615 same here, but I guess its like an ikiru styled QT movie.

[@DistantLights]

This is why I relate to the movie so much

[@NelsonStJames]

Tarantino has that special ability of getting great performances out of actors that no one expected had it in them, but also getting even better performances out of actors that people already knew were good. This is a quality that not all directors necessarily have, and it's one that we're seeing less of as this notion that a director's job is to "direct the camera" has taken over. It's truly going to be a loss for cinema if this guy really does retire.

[@Owl90]

Same with Kubrick. It's no coincidence they are my favorites of all time.

[@thompsonschwabbel6622]

yeah, we are going to get one more Tarantino movie, that's it unfortunately. He said so himself on many occasions, so there is no much doubt about it.

[@Kuznetsov9088]

Saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood in the cinema with my father. Once it ended, he looked at me and said "I could have done with three more hours of that". I very much agreed with that statement

[@k3salieri]

After the animated scene in Kill Bill I've always wanted to see what a Tarantino anime would be like.

[@darkspeed62]

I think that was mostly done to reduce the amount of in-person violance, but it was a nice touch at homage to Japaense culture.

[@cshepard09]

he talks about his love for japanese cinema all the time. would be cool to see him do some sort of animated piece @@darkspeed62

[@Peter-ff1tp]

Tarantino did not direct that sequence. That was Kazuto Nakazawa’s work.

[@darkspeed62]

@@Peter-ff1tp Who directed it is utterly irrelevant. Tarantino wrote the script and devised the story. My point still stands: the film is already pretty violent, but that segment deals with a part of the scruipt that is particularly harrowing, so it makes sense to have that in cartoon form, as a homage to Japanese manga. It's well executed, but it makes sense.

[@DiodeFilms]

I think once upon a time is his best film as well. His films always have strong characterisation, but usually the characters are constructed to better service the narrative, whereas in once upon a time the narrative exists purely to better explore the characters, which is why it meandres all over the place. What stuck with me most about it was how much it contemplated insecurity, comparing yourself to others, and the source of happiness and fulfilment. I really didn't expect those themes from Tarantino, who seems so self-confident and opinionated. He was clearly in an introspective phase.

[@Whateveryoutube-cs9gi]

[@leon_pp]

A film about a film about making films. This has some meta level quality to it!

[@kspringerrw]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is Tarantino's Day for Night. Truffaut was the prototype for Tarantino. A man who loved movies so deeply that he played with genre and made the things he loved his own before making his masterpiece in one of the greatest movies about making movies.

[@Psygoth]

Once Upon a Time is the same genre as Inglorious Basterds in my mind, a historical fiction. Both cover a period of history with a Tarantino style and end with a fantasy reimagining of some event where a preferred outcome happens (the nazis being/ Manson murderers get killed)

[@miguelcampillos]

All Tarantino movies are about revenge either explicit or implicit.

[@Jay-xr3sb]

He played the same trick twice, as soon as the mansion murders didn't happen I just thought of Inglorious Bastards and being a recycled idea

[@Afflictamine]

preferred for who ? preferred for his handlers like the pedo weinstein or his 'buddy' polanski ?

[@generalzod5944]

I would put those films as well as Kill Bill 1 and 2 in the bad films genre. Quentin had three good films, four if you include True Romance. After Jackie Brown it all went downhill.

[@cshepard09]

django, hateful eight and ing bastards were all masterpieces lol @@generalzod5944

[@siriusakari6729]

If violence was a genre then Tarantino has mastered it. Every movie he makes has a well-crafted climatic scenes with enough violence to last us several life times.

[@computer_toucher]

Yeah and Once Upon[...] was, even with as much violence (both real and fictional) that I've seen, gut-wrenchingly brutal and horrific. I could actually not see the ending until I was mentally more ready for it on the second watching. And the connection he has with his dog when the Mansonites come along made me cheer out loud. Has there been a Tarantino movie where a Checkov's Gun goes unused? I don't know of any. The dude has narrative skill.

[@kiernanknox2314]

"Because it's so much fun jan!!!" might be the greatest response to an interviewer ever

[@QualeQualeson]

It IS better on re-watch. It's a little hard to define. It's incredibly self indulgent, but that's actually one of the things that makes it great (not usually a sign of greatness). But only truly after having seen it once and pieced it together will you become part of that indulgence, and at that point it's an incredibly laid back and fun film in many ways. I think it sits at the core of Tarantino's ode to cinema when all is said and done, and that's exactly what it was meant to do. In a weird way, watching it is like watching yourself watching a movie.

[@Selrisitai]

He would probably direct a fantastic slice-of-life anime in the vein of a Studio Ghibli film.

[@BlazingOwnager]

Man those side by side shots of the fake movies and their recreations is genius on a level I never realized before.

[@sandspar]

As one who lived in NHollywood and Burbank as a young teen in the early 70's I can say he got the theatre shot exactly as I remember. I would ride my bike to the matinee every Saturday, see Harold & Maude, Bananas, and tons more, then go to the pinball arcade. Felt just like what he captured in Once Upon a Time. Did not realize Elvis was Tex until now tho.

This video was beautifully made man. I love everything about this video, the way that you break down how QT started his journey as a film, and then moving onto how he transcends genre to a more parodied version of those genres. This video made very solid points, and was all in all one of the best breakdowns I've seen thus far.

[@felipet.lamaison2177]

great analysis, references are spot on, it was just not quite easy to get on the first watch. I had to rewatch it a second time before seeing your video to really appreciate the craft Tarantino delivered here. And now I'm just more eager to watch it again. Also, that scene in the ranch with hippies might be a Tarantino's critic about the audience expectations, including his non fans. As Cliff approches the ranch and his apprehension about the situation increases, the audience those the same. It mirrors in a way the protention of the audience to finally subvert the traditional violence climax, with him kindly saying : "Move along buddy, you are the blind one, there is no violence to see here"

Those movies are gifts to entertain us. One day ill be able to make movies on the same level as him and i hope people will enjoy it just as much.

[@jtro77]

I was 17 in 1994. Tarantino introduced excitement, unpredictability and style to cinema. Eveyone I knew had an interest in film. U.K born Guy Richie also deserves credit. Both writing and directing. Both had great scripts. Praying for the return of open cinema.

Great analysis of Tarantino movies dude, especially Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (which shares No1 spot with Pulp Fiction in my book), though I enjoy it like no other movie in the world (except Blade Runner) and I can't explain why I enjoy it so much. You've made some points which clarify the magic of this LAST GREAT HOLLYWOOD movie, because - frankly since then the Hollywood movie industry is in terrible decline, almost dead and nothing comes even close to some of those magic great movies we had in 2019, among which Once Upon a Time in Hollywood stands as the last testament of truly magnificent film making.

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

Thanks for putting this together. I didn't care for Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, upon first viewing, because the whole Manson family subplot just ruined it for me. But hearing how it was actually part of the whole subversion of the Tarantino style, I appreciate it a lot more now. And now I kind of need to rewatch it with that in mind.

After it ended, I ended up seeing it 6 more times during the film's run in theatres. Every time I've seen it, I found out more things I liked that just improved my opinion of the film. This video explaining how Tarantino's whole career affected that film and how everything is well connected and there for a reason, is just masterpiece that I could have never figured it out on my own.

[@adamguinnmusic5871]

I always said. Pulp Fiction is his Coolest movie. (Probably the coolest of all time) Kill Bill is his Masterpiece. Inglorious Bastards is his Best movie. Then Hollywood came out and idk wtf to think.

[@darkspeed62]

It reads as though you're conflating all three of those words but trying to seperate them, but you stuble. How would you seperate 'best' from 'masterpiece'. 'Cool' is pretty subjective, right?! You could argue Jackie Brown is his coolest. Pulp Fiction put him on the map in a big way, and it's an amazxing film, with highly quotable diagloue. I honestly don't think I could say which film is his best. His body of work is absolutely phenominal. I didn't really like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Sharon Tate, Spahn Ranch, the references and little details went right over my head. Yet I still greatly enjoyed the film, the overall vibe of old Hollywood held up with the great character work kept me engrossed even when there were seemingly strange go nowhere scenes that don't seem to connect to anything.

I'm pretty sure once I get to rewatch it, it's going to join my list of "Best movies ever" (where most Tarantino's movies are).

I saw the movie in the cinema when it came out and was also disappointed. I was waiting the whole time for something to happen, for some conflict that would drive the plot forward. But since then, i've seen it two more times and it has quickly become one of my favourite Tarantino movies. Once you stop waiting for things to happen, you can just lean back and take in the atmosphere - and OUATIH has more atmosphere than any of his other movies. And the technical aspects, meaning cinematography, set design and the music are absolutely incredible - imo better than they've ever been. I highly recommend rewatching it.
