He was one of the most important directors in the American independent film revolution in the 1990s. He is good at non-linear storytelling, and unforgettable dialogue and bloody scenes are always indispensable in movies. He carried forward the black violence style of native American B-level films and led the trend of the aesthetics of violence in movies in an era. He was born as a non-Cobain fan, but in the end, along with bigwigs like Spielberg, Kubrick, and Hitchcock, he was named one of the 50 greatest film directors of all time by Filmsite. He is the most famous "foot control" in the whole world, and "notorious armed robber and rapist".
He is Quentin, Quentin Tarantino.
movie fan Quentin
was born as an only child in Tennessee on March 27, 1963. From an early age, he showed his love for movies and his stepfather, who was a musician, was extremely supportive. The open family gave him the opportunity to start with his mother since childhood. Watch R-rated movies by your side. When
was about 15, Quentin, who dropped out of high school, found a part-time job at the adult theater Pussycat Therate, and barely got into the film-related industry, and began an artistic career in which he was learning acting and writing scripts. Throughout the 1980s, Quentin was spinning between studying and changing jobs, until he settled in Manhattan Beach, California, at a video store called "Video Archive".
During his five-year career in a video store, Quentin was soaked in the movie world, and he was exposed to a series of cult movies that were not recognized by the mainstream at the time, such as western films, Hong Kong films, and Japanese halberd films. In the future, the basic skills of traversing the rivers and lakes have also shaped his personal fandom style. An unproven legend is that Quentin once chatted with a colleague about a movie. After chatting to the full, he almost committed suicide ashamed and angry.
Quentin’s career in a video store may be the dream of all fans, but genius is genius. Some people can only squat at home and type words while watching thousands of movies. Knocked on the door of the movie. In 1986, Quentin took his first Hollywood job as a production assistant for Duff Ronger's film; the following year, he directed and acted in the first film "My Best Friend's Birthday", which was a 70-minute film. Because of the accidental fire in the editing room, only 35 minutes are left, but in the fragments seen on Youtube, you can still see a lot of Quentin's eloquent style in the future.
Finally, with the first and second official movie scripts written during his part-time job-"True Romance" and "Born Murderer", Quentin gained a foothold in Hollywood and started his career as a director. .
director Quentin
In 1992, relying on the sale of "True Romance" earned 50,000 US dollars, Quentin wrote and directed and acted in the first feature film "Falling Water Dog". Legend has it that this movie, which only took three and a half weeks to complete the script, was acclaimed at the premiere of the Sundance Film Festival that year. Non-linear editing, chattering dialogue design, difficult jokes, and various movies. A mixture of elements, inexplicable guest appearances, careful thoughts of homage to fans, cool characters and bloodless swear words without money-these elements that Quentin will depend on for a living will appear together in his debut work. The success of
"Falling Dog" has won Quentin a lot of job opportunities in Hollywood really big projects in the strict sense, including the later successful "Men in Black" and "Life and Death". However, Quentin declined each and continued to concoct his most classic masterpiece "Pulp Fiction".
1994's "Pulp Fiction" continued to be written, directed and acted by Quentin, playing Quentin's characteristics, especially the characteristics of non-linear narrative, to the extreme, and the second work alone is enough to remain in the film history. Hollywood fell in love with this devil who likes to go slant and nominated for seven awards and snatched a trophy at the 1995 Oscar when the gods fought; the world film industry fell in love with this crazy bad boy, and the Cannes Film Festival was because of this simple story. For his advanced lecture, Palme d’Or awarded him.
Three years later, Quentin’s third feature film "Dangerous Relationship" was released in 1997. This may be Quentin’s most unpopular movie so far, not only because of the 150-minute super-length, but also because it was adapted from A novel of the same name that did not sell well in 1992. (But I heard that the author appreciates this movie.)
"Dangerous Relationship" is not successful enough, Quentin will have the opportunity to return to the audience with the new film "Kill Bill" six years later, giving his Hollywood answer for the new millennium. The two episodes of "Kill Bill" are cut into two parts because of the length of the game. For the first time, fans can talk about Quentin, and they can talk about his violent aesthetics and genius soundtrack. Even if this film, which was not accepted by film critics at the time, did not get the honor of "Pulp Fiction", Quentin would certainly not care. This is his romantic and violent aesthetic art.
Quentin, who has earned both fame and fortune, has the opportunity to continue to work with contemporary B-rated film leaders, such as Robert Rodriguez, a genius who can film both "Secret Service Prodigy" and "Machete Killing". Not only did the two collaborate on "A Dawn" and "Sin City", the two brothers also made a cult feature film to form "The Punishment Room". Among them, Rodriguez filmed "Planet of Horror" and Quentin filmed "King Kong Isn't Bad". This B-level film that opened him up to play has everything from killing, blood, and pornography, and even more of his foot fetish nature. The interpretation is vivid and vivid.
2009's "Inglourious Basterds" entered Quentin's transition period. This film, which should have been completed before "Kill Bill", was fortunately left for later, allowing Quentin, who is no longer so young, to be entertaining and artistic. , Aggravated the commercial nature of the film. Reduce the cheap part of the film language, and while maintaining the original character, declare to the world that his film style has begun to mature-naturally, he has also won the favor of eight Oscar nominations.
In 2012, Quentin’s seventh feature film "The Freed Jiang Ge" was released, and Quentin finally had the opportunity to express his love for macaroni westerns, which he had hidden for many years, and let this film The film has become a masterpiece of all his film styles, as if to announce to the world that he is still at the peak of his creation. "The Rescued Jiang Ge" is also Quentin's first film to enter the mainland cinema. There was an emergency stop on the day of the screening. The mainland cinema anecdote of "the love bird flew away", the specifics will not be expanded. .
Quentin's latest movie is 2015's "The Hateful Eight", which also happens to be his eighth feature film. The script was leaked before the filming of this ill-fated movie was finished. Quentin wanted to give up for a while. Fortunately, he wanted to open it later. He simply asked the actor to read the script in front of the public before returning to filming. This character is complicated and the story is simple. The confined space group portrait shows Quentin’s storytelling ability and a somewhat convergent and more refined personal style. You will find that few people call him a ghost again, and more people start calling him. Be a master.
Actor Quentin
In addition to being the director, which is the most familiar role for the audience, Quentin also has other identities, such as an actor.
Quentin, who came from the actor training class, definitely has the interest and strength to be an actor. The first appearance in the film has to be traced back to the fragment "My Best Friend's Birthday". The orchid with a tick in the low-resolution picture points out that he sold him in the future. The training of Xiao Lizi in "The Freed Jiang Ge".
Like most unscrupulous directors, Quentin also has a hobby of guest starring in his own films, such as the annoying Mr. Brown in "Falling Water Dog",
, the sole owner of "Pulp Fiction",
, of course he also likes to go Make a cameo by a good friend director. For example, Hollywood superstars in "Four Rooms",
, for example, the bastard brother in my good friend "Take a Dawn", and
occasionally have to go to Miike Takashi's "Sukiyaki Western" "Make soy sauce."
The number of roles Quentin has played in Hollywood has reached 20 or 30, most of which are "character roles" similar to "notorious armed robbers and rapists", which can also be regarded as seeking kindness. Be benevolent.
Chinese fan Quentin
Watching Shaw Brothers Cantonese fragments, Quentin has a special affection for Eastern culture across the ocean, especially Chinese culture. Jiang Wen said that Quentin came to play for a few months when he filmed "Song of the Qin" in 1996. He has no pretensions at all when he has filmed "Pulp Fiction", even if he doesn't speak the language well, he can get together.
Later, it was not until "Kill Bill 2" that Quentin came to China to make a movie as he wished. Wu pointed to Yuan Heping and the actor Liu Jiahui. Everyone knew that Quentin loved Hong Kong movies. The most popular jokeIt’s because it’s not easy to learn well during this period of time, and when you fail to learn, the deepest impression I have ever talked about on the Conan show is that it belongs to China’s "super cool"-"niubi".
In addition, Quentin also talked publicly about his understanding and admiration of Wang Jiawei, Zhang Yimou and others. However, even so as to show his favor to the East, he was temporarily withdrawn because of the spoof of Bruce Lee in the new film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", and was branded as the so-called "insult to the old white man in China" overnight, regardless of Quentin's movie style and role. I don’t know whether to laugh or shake his head.
"Foot Fetish" Quentin
There are rumors that Quentin has three good, foot fetish nagging soundtrack. The first thing to bear is the "foot fetish" that everyone likes to talk about, but Quentin doesn't seem to want to cover it up. Among all his foot shots in the movie, Uma Thurman in "Pulp Fiction" is more famous. Debut.
has arranged Kurt Russell's debut in "King Kong Isn't Bad",
and the self who simply played on stage in "Take a Dawn",
husband Quentin
bad boy also has a day of growing up, Last year, 55-year-old Quentin finally married 35-year-old Israeli singer and model Daniella Pick.
Legend has it that the two met during the promotion of "Shameless Bastard" in 2009, and it was considered that they had gone through the "seven-year itch" before they entered the marriage hall. Workaholics such as Quentin finally did not pass the hairline. Before returning to the family, he completed a lifelong event.
However, it seems that for most movie fans, they are more concerned about how beautiful the bride’s feet are...
(9/10) Quentin
Quentin’s film road is not over yet, although you can still You can see from his films that he is still very creative, but he made a promise to only make ten films in his life. After handing over the answer sheet for the ninth film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", this film was caused by various disturbances. The new film that can only be reserved for "seeing on the Internet" is also tied to the regret of "watching one less one". Will Quentin end up being as fat as Luc Besson (you see how fat he is now!) or will he continue to shoot with his strength?
Who knows, Quentin is a genius—the genius knows what he is thinking!
