Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino, July 26, 2019) Movie • Page 54

Counting the lines probably stems from a criticism of Django Unchained, which was that Jamie Foxx's wife barely spoke. She was basically a plot device, though, and that would be a criticism of filmmakers who always treat female characters that way, but he has made films where women are the central focus. A group of strong women kill Stuntman Mike; the Bride kills male and female opponents, Jackie Brown outsmarts career criminals. You go to Inglourious Basterds expecting Brad Pitt to be the lead, and a teenage girl takes down the Third Reich.

 

Cool piece by Bangzheng Du

 

Thanks! I just pre-ordered. October is so far away! Aside from this, Jackie Brown is the one remaining QT soundtrack I don’t have on vinyl.

 

Preorder from Bull Moose instead next time!

Also here is the indie exclusive:

Tension during the scene(s) where Pitt was at the ranch were terrific, would love to see it

 

One of the funniest things about the Margot Robbie role controversy bullshit is this absurd implication that a character’s entire being is simply the words they say. As if dialogue and delivery aren’t just a small part of what acting entails. Some if not most of the best acting and character depiction ever is done without saying words. Who would have thought film critics of all people would have difficulty grasping the concept of “show, don’t tell”

 

Yeah she actually had a lot more screentime than I was expecting after what I read

 

Inglourious Basterds is an important example of this. All the men around Shosanna are talking constantly, but the camera usually keeps on her and we read her emotions through what she is thinking.

 

Lol this is veering on cosplay but I got the vintage logo Champion shirt. I didn’t realize it would be this faint but I’ll take it

Wish I lived closer to New Bev

 

It would be nice to look at the money the film is making and getting excited for the state of movies, but it is extremely difficult for anyone to make a name for themselves the way Tarantino has. It has been said so many times that it is a cliche by now, but Tarantino, Pitt, and DiCaprio represent an end of an era the same way the film honors the end of the 60's.

 

I haven't listened but The Ringer podcast network has put out three episodes interviewing QT

‎Quentin Tarantino's Feature Presentation on Apple Podcasts

 

They’re all great

 

amy rules, they should have had her write the review instead of that shitty roundtable they did

 

great series, only wish it was longer. Amy's awesome, if anyone hasn't, highly recommend her Halloween series, Halloween Unmasked.

 

we're still discussing that huh

 

I guess?

 

Classic QT
