Great Tarantino Quote


When people ask me if I went to film school, I tell them, "No, I went to films."
-- Quentin Tarantino

Recently finished reading his "Cinema Speculation." One of the most enjoyable books about movies that I've ever read.

I'd be very interested to read that, I really like Tarantino's movies and enjoy lots of the movies that inspired him.
Thanks for the heads up, I just checked and the local library has two copies:)

reply

That's where I got mine. Love the library!

What did he have to say about Rolling Thunder?

reply

I agree with him. Rolling Thunder was bad ass! It totally captivated me when I was younger.

reply

It's a mega revenge film and QT loves those righteous revenge stories.

reply

Yeah, I do too. One I rewatched recently: https://moviechat.org/tt6850820/Peppermint You could almost read Tarantino's style into this.

Check out The Park Is Mine starring Tommy Lee Jones, it's really good, like First Blood in Central Park.

I’ve always enjoyed this review of the film.

Great analysis.

reply

I think so also, and I agree with a lot that’s mentioned. The ending is spectacular but when I think of Rolling Thunder I immediately recall Rayne saying “You learn to love the rope. That's how you beat 'em. That's how you beat people who torture you. You learn to love 'em. Then they don't know you're beatin' 'em.”

Great film.

reply

It IS good. Thanks for sharing this. The character of Rane to me, has always been the personification of stoicism. Isn't it a shame that men are expected to stuff, to
suppress so much? One of the most honest comments I ever heard came from a former girlfriend during pillow talk one night. She said she would hate to be a man because of the pressure that is forced upon them to perform.

Is he Jewish now? I think you have to be Jewish to immigration into israel.

reply

Wasn't that Clint Eastwood, in that car movie where he got shot a bunch and grunted ?

reply

Are you thinking of The Gauntlet? Great gun crazy 70s action.

reply

Grand Turnino I think!
