Who's luckier to work with the other? Brad Pitt or Quentin?
I'm thinking Brad Pitt because he's guaranteed a hit movie by working for Quentin.
shareThere are countries where people don't even know who QT is. On the other hand, since Fight Club, people remember Pitt as a sexy Icon from the movies. It is what it is.
shareBrad Pitt certainly is known world wide..I think QT is pretty well known around the world as well.
shareYou'll be surprised my friend. I have traveled to many non-english-speaking countries and most common people do not have this 'author cinema' knowledge. These are the kind of people that only go to the movies to watch action blockbusters or romcoms and don't care for 'weird movies on TV'.
They see them as pretencious and boring. In fact when I went to see OUATIH in my gf's hometown, most of the young and not so young there (35ish) were restless, walked to and back from the bathroom a lot, walked out from the theater and made weirded out comments during most of the movie.
I have learned to ignore this to enjoy films and follow their plots, but it is so common in most theaters! A friend from Brazil told me that something similar happened during their screenings.
BTW, people knew who BP and LdC were, they just didn't talk about Tarantino at all. Not even when they were buying snacks or after the credits started rolling, in the exit alley.
Actually, a survey by Sight & Sound magazine concluded QT was the most famously known filmmaker name on an international level, more than Speilburg or anyone else.
