He's become a meme, but I have to admit he's the most naturally talented director in Hollywood. He came from nothing and created an entire new style of cinema: arthouse-meets-grindhouse. Unlike most directors, who adapt other people's ideas and get a ton of help with dialogue, he creates his stories from scratch and writes all the dialogue himself. He was born to make films. Other directors seem like fakes in comparison.

People who whinge about QT stealing from other movies either
a) never watched the 70s b-movie he ripped off anyway
b)if they have watched it, it's only because QT made it more prominent, and they otherwise would have never heard of it

It's true. Kubrick never told a story that wasn't created in whole or partially shaped by another person.

So what?

You really can't complain too much about the quality of this guy's work. His early career was something really special, captured both the public and critical interest. Reservoir Dogs was his breakthrough, Pulp Fiction started a zeitgeist, and then he got to make his self-indulgent magnum opus. Since then, his work has been itself copied so much that he is now more like a school of filmmaking, whether he likes it or not. But his latter career is also a lot of heavy-handed and extreme executions of crude ideas and PHL 102 critique of society.
And yes he pays homage, riffs, AND steals from previous legends, which is fine and 100% normal. What matters is that he mixes this with extremely modern, extremely hip sensibilities.

Great at screenplays. Great at casting. His editor made him famous.

You could say that about every writer since classical greece

In fairness Tarantula openly admits that he rips off those b-movies. He doesn't cope by calling them "homages". He just straight up remakes them or does a "this is how I would do it if I had thought of this movie first"

Most Jews do.

>created an entire new style of cinema
No, his style of cinema is literally just French 90's cinema brought to America. At least it was until around inglorious bastards at which point he started going downhill and doing comic book movies.

Reservoir Dogs = 7/10
Pulp Fiction = 9/10
Jackie Brown = 6/10
Kill Bill = 8/10
Kill Bill 2 = 7/10
Death Proof = 5/10
Inglorious Bastards = 7/10
Django Unchained = 6/10
The Hateful Eight = 4/10
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood didn't even bother seeing it

He peaked with pulp fiction in great part due to his partner and then he got self indulgent and nobody has the balls or heart to tell him when his ideas are shit.

I still don't understand how anyone likes it. It's the perfect example of a movie that goes nowhere. It just aimlessly goes on until the climax and ends. Nothing interesting happens for 95% of it.

based, kill bill 1 and 2 are his best films, i agree

Its typical normalfag shit. Hear from your one nerd friend that this director is really good. You pay money to see the movie and sit there for two whole hours. If you say you didn't like it you may be seen as dumb and unsophisticated so you glaze it and say it was great. You convince yourself that you didn't just waste money and time just to fit in socially so you actually convince yourself it was good because its a good director.

Death Proof and The Hateful 8 were almost complete shit

i like The Hateful Eight and i think its one of his best. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on the other hand was awful
