This is a link post "Everything is a re-mix"
Lots of split screens used to show all of Tarantino's influences for "Kill Bill"

Edit:- It would seem that this is part 3 (and the most recent) of a 4 part
series, so please have:-

Part 1
Part 2 as well.

I wonder if every scene in every Tarantino film is based on a scene from another film? Shirley not!


Flounces off to listen to some Morrissey lyrics.

It's not like he hasn't been completely open that he's a complete film geek and this is a homage to the films he loves.

I still love Tarantino, though - partly because of this (and he knows exactly what he's doing, as does everyone else - it's not as though he's trying to pull a fast one on anyone). The older I get the more I admire his filmmaking.

This is a normal post Enzyme, what I admire most about him is he built himself up.
He used to work in a video shop & self educated there, he proved to the
rest of us that "the person from the street" can still do it & didn't need
to come from a privileged background. It's also worth noting that
Spielberg's "education" is quite similar, he learned his skill from
working in the editing room & splicing discarded scenes of movies
together for an "alternative shot".

This is a normal post Well, yes.
But that's not what makes him a great in my eyes. What makes him great is that he understands how cinema works, and how storytelling works. He's not just a stylish re-user of ideas - though he is that - but he's also someone who has something interesting to say about the world and the way it's ciphered.

Or summat.

This is a normal post "A stylish re-user of ideas", like Nolan and Inception in my view.

This is a normal post Bah. Thing is, if you're also a film geek it's very disappoiting watching Tarantino.
Kill Bill 1 & 2 - recognised most of the influences and set pieces, which are abuot 75% of the film. The rrest is awful dialogue, which I alwyas thought was his greatest strength, even if weveryone in his films is basically Tarantino. You should watch kermodes review of Kill Bill. Kill Bill sucks so hard (and JAckie Brown is the best)

This is a normal post Inglorious Basterds I liked, not so much Kill Bill to be honest.
Certainly didn't rate Inception though. Nice idea, but found that the technique got in the way. And that sequence on the mountain in the snow was like bad Bond. Wouldn't necessarily rate Kermode either - he thought Star Trek was good!;-)

He should have a stake put through his heart for From Dusk Til Dawn. Once he's been killed, I'll quietly admit that I was stunned the first time I saw Reservoir Dods and Pulp Fiction.

This is a normal post I enjoyed this. Thanks.
It's worth noting that this isn't part 3, but rather more like "2b"... so we still have (at least) two more parts to look forward to. Eventually.

2b or not 2b.
