How Quentin Tarantino Steals From Other Movies | The Art Of Film

Hah'muh-ges, rather than Hoh-mah'ges.

Are you roasting him with golden words bro 😊

There is no such thing as original, ideal, or unique – everything is a copy of everything!

Tarantino is essentially hip hop or before hip hop there was the kit bashing process used to create the technology in Star Wars. Taking model kits of ww2 models, cars, airplanes, motorcycles and deconstruct them to appear unrecognizable and resemble something new.

The line "pair of pliers and a blowtorch" comes straight from the 1972 movie Charlie Varrick.

Hitchcock was much better than him

its actually known as a reference.

Everything is a copy of a copy

Maybe scenes are similar but the stories are purely original. Period. 👍

Reservoir Dogs came out in 1992, not 1997

i think quentin only BORROWS, not steals, and just because one scene looks like another doesn't mean it always is on perpose, The Matrix took content even from 1920s movies.

it took me years to realize that creativity is a myth… everything has been copied with slight modifications. Try to think of one thing that is "creative", do a little research and you'll see it actually wasn't that creative.

If you want to know about the Kill Bill exploding heart technique, steal ideas Tarentino-style instead of going to film school you arrogant "basterds". Check out The Abduction Of Margaret Houlihan – M.A.S.H (Season 5, Episode 7) for the real exploding heart technique if you never studied but instead did Tostito style.

I don’t understand what is so special about his dialogue. It is very contrived and characters are always setting each other up. Also, he doesn’t steal, he straight up copies from other films. I don’t understand how a person, better yet an artist would feel comfortable doing that.
But I must say his movies are visually stunning and beautifully acted. I guess he has good taste and great cinematographers, actors, etc working for him.

It’s not stealing it’s just art, all art is based on human experience. The man has admitted to taking all sorts of things from films he likes. Jazz music has the same tradition.

I love Tarantino because he steals like an artist and shows his work. All, and I mean ALL, artists, “steal”. There’s nothing new under the sun.

Well made video

He’s admitted he does. I don’t see anything wrong with it to an extent there’s a fine line. Like the opening so many movies show that camera angle. But yeah a couple of them are questionable. But u love Quentin’s movies it’s like hey yeah he steals certain things but imagine if we didn’t have any of his work.
