Mid 20s. I still like him but find his stuff can be kind of juvenile. Pulp Fiction hasn't aged a day though and I thought OUATIH was surprisingly great.
Checked, fpbp, same here
pretty much this
hell yeah bros
>At what age did you grew out of
smelly ESL
English is my first and only language.
When I watched Pulp Fiction after seeing Reservoir Dogs. I really just don't generally like his movies. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood might have redeemed him for me though.
Whatever age I was when Django Unchained came out, but then I was brought back in ever so slightly by Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and then forgot about it because there's way better movies to watch and I was just bored at the time
He's better at podcasting
Video archives is some of his best work and I can't wait for S2
Around the time of Django Unchained I felt he had become overrated and that none of his 21st century movies were that great but then I saw Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and declared that his magnum opus, you really have to admire what hes doing by righting history by saving Sharon Tate
Django was notoriously fricked from people getting cold feet due to the subject matter. Actors leaving, a lot of the script being left out. I think it really compromised that movie and the final result just isn’t that great because of that.
It's just moronic aggravation bait. It's literally made to piss people off. It has zero sympathetic characters and it's unnecessarily cruel to people who lived in the past. It's incredibly juvenile and made from a place of disdain. Just an ugly movie. Reminds me of Gangs of New York.
ironically, just watched hateful eight for the first time since it came out and it's the exact opposite. No one is morally superior, every character has depth, and it doesn't make any effort to align itself with 21st century politics. Even the inkeep who is introduced as a kind fat black woman is revealed to hate mexicans as a major plot point. It's a way better movie than django imo
tarantino films age like fine wine
quentin won.
When it was Black folk: the action movie
I was never really into him. I saw Pulp Fiction in middle-school or HS and didn't really get the big deal.
Childhood is idolizing Tarantino. Adulthood is recognizing his faults while still appreciating that he's one of the only real ones still hanging in there. I've never left a Tarantino movie feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. And that rarely happens anymore. Movies are all so soulless and bland these days.
I grew out of him once I watched a a lot more movies from various time periods, including most of the stuff Tarantino references, and really developed my taste in my early to mid 20s, in the sense that I was no longer in awe of him or thought of him as the greatest director of all time or whatever. However I grew back into him once I realized his films aren't super profound or anything, but they are sincere celebrations of everything that is fun about cinema. He cares deeply about the craft of making a real movie, everything about it, he understands the joy of watching a good movie, and that puts him far above most of the jaded robot slop out there now days.
when I discovered A24 and youtube essays
You just have to listen to his recommendations, like the nickel ride
About the time I realized he makes “rule of cool” movies. There’s no substance, just “ain’t that cool?” Flash.
Agree with this. Quentin will always have the mind of a 14 year old.
Did anyone else not notice that gasoline is poured on plastic it melts. So why didn't the duct tape melt so the cop could get free.
cinema sin!
that's the point
Inglourious Basterds was so repulsive it turned me into an anti-semite.
He refuses to include death proof when it was actually pretty original
I never bought into him
Tried on 3 or 4 occasions to get into Pulp Fiction but it was too shit and could never finish. Kill Bill 1 was okay but that's about it
You'll like jackie brown
I dont mind some of his movies. I stil think jackie brown is a great film. Its the one movie that had he kept going in that direction would have become a master filmmaker.
He seriously needs restraint though. Pulp is good but unnecessarily long. Even worse with OUATIH. He also has an incredibly lazy way of writing. Splitting things up in chapters was cool when done for the first time (his first time not first time in the medium) but him doing that every single time in all his other movies solidified that its not a stylistic choice. He literally does not understand pacing and cant find a way to connect all his scenes.
Anybody can write a bunch of cool mini short stories/scenes. Its connecting them together to fit a cohesive narrative and flow that are the hard part.
Jackie was great because he had some one else’s material to help him with the flow. And characters that had substance and actual emotion to them. Its Tarantula showing restraint.
Then he immediately went back to being a hack and going full style over substance. When tarantula is at his full pig headed-ness and left unchecked we get slop like kill bill 1&2 and unfortunately the god awful death proof. A movie with a literal kernal of a good idea executed horribly aside from two scenes.
Everyone in that movie is literally just a flesh puppet for tarantulas dialogue. Doesn’t matter whos talking, they all just sound like tarantino. Hes a shit tier writer, who steals almost everything. His movies can be fun but it’s embarrassing when people call him one of the greats. Just as embarrassing when people call nolan that too lol
>His movies can be fun but it’s embarrassing when people call him one of the greats
It's one thing to call him not your thing, but you're a pompous, wine sipping, fart sniffing moron if you don't think he is and/or will be remembered as a great writer and director.
Of course people are gonna remember him, but people also remember a lot of dumb shit, like the time I got fingered in the ass by my dad. But for me it was mediocre because his fingers weren't long enough to hit my prostate. Same way I think about Tarantino
You simply just need to watch more movies. He wouldn’t be anywhere near the top 10 of all time if you know what hes directly ripping off most of the time.
his musical taste is kino. cant take that away from the Tino.
You can find smelly old boomers hanging out at most local music stores who can steer you towards music that's the equivalent of better than what Tarantino has to offer
The moment I saw his israelite cape shit movie and his Black person capeshit movie.
Kill Bill didn't do enough to not simply copy (restaging) its influences. But Inglorious was a tight ensemble. OUATIH can't have come from anyone else with the unique mix of humor, old man living in his own clouds, and California like it's the eternal frontier.
>Kill Bill didn't do enough to not simply copy (restaging) its influences.
That was it's entire reason for existing, it was a movie mixtape
It's like the exploitation movie version of Cabin in the Woods
I won't say I grew out of him entirely, but I grew out of preferring stuff like Bastards and Hateful 8, to preferring stuff like Jackie Brown and Hollywood.
Although I think Reservoir Dogs will always stay my favorite.
you cant grow out of him unless you havent listened to his autistic lectures on golden age hollywood. actual substance is displayed.
not surprised at all of these people saying Django turned them off of Tarantino
I really wish Django was better but the whole movie is just some slightly funny scenes mixed with some fairly entertaining villains
it's crazy that he introduced Christoph Waltz as this incredibly interesting character in basterds only to make him such a dumb boring protag in django that you were probably relieved to see die when he does
>not surprised at all of these people saying Django turned them off of Tarantino
Yes, I too am unsurprised to find that a bunch of virulent racists dislike that one
The screenplay was better than the finished product
Here's your (You)
Tarantino is afrophilic because in his formative years he watched his mom frick black guys. Not all of us share his race kinks. I thought Inglourious Basterds was even worse than Django if that makes you feel better.
Holy shit, really? You, a guy on Cinemaphile in the year of our Lord 2022, disliked his movie about an elite team of Nazi-killing israelites? Wherefore, anoneemoose?
it's 2024
wait, WHAT?
It's masturbatory... like your post
Yes intentionally so. At some point it became fashionable to sympathize with the Nazis and I can understand that on an individual level, soldiers just doing their job. The world of inglourious Basterds is a world of heroes, villains, and victims though. If you were the one who posted about being afrophilic and all that stuff then your position becomes more clear.
Me? I was around 15
I CANT GROW OUT OF ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE ENOUGH THINGS THAT AREN'T SHIT. MY STANDARDS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING LOWER
Have you tried killing yourself?
Tarantino is an amazing director. People will say his stuff is juvenile then unironically watch star wars or capeshit bullshit.
He's one of the best of the last 3 decades. His style has inspired modern cinema more than any other.
Embarrassing
I know I'm right
Inglorious Basterds. Didn't get it at the time but now it's really kino. Django and Hateful 8 were good but watching Once Upon a Time in theatres was amazing.
I don't think a teenager's going to enjoy his last film about a movie critic
Unwatchable past Kill Bill 2 until Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
when I learned about media literacy. very problematic.
"growing out of Tarantino" is code for "becoming such an insufferable homosexual that I don't even know what's good anymore"
If you don't like Tarantino you don't like movies and your opinion is worthless
That said Django was definitely a disappointment, it was obvious Sally Menke's death left him out on a limb for a while there
I remember going to the movies to see Inglourious Basterds and thinking it fell completely flat... its like a ww2 comedy film with 0 jokes across two and a half hours...
pulp fiction and reservoir dogs flukes carried by great actors...
well ESL-chan I never really grew out of Tarantino, but he never really topped Pulp Fiction.
Every other movie just feels like a cheap imitation.
grew out at Django but came back with love with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
