Why quentin tarantino is overrated

He was among the first to evoke on screen the aesthetic of our extended adolescence, in which comic-book violence and teenage cool are transformed into gruesome adult spectacles. When they came out, Reservoir Dogs and especially Pulp Fiction were revelations. They were so cool, at least to a cadre of mostly young, disaffected men of slightly above-normal intelligence. His movies portray in a deeply ironic manner a world of random violence, world-weariness, drugs, Japanese swords and savvy mixtures of high and low culture—mostly low.

A director like Sam Peckinpah in Straw Dogs explores the various meanings of violence and lapses into its gratuitous portrayal. Right on cue, he accused Lee of reverse racism. To deal with the Holocaust, the most traumatic event of the last century, Tarantino invents a story of a team of Jewish Allied soldiers, led by Brad Pitt, who carve swastikas into Nazis.

In one sense, a movie like Inglourious Basterds is immensely fun. Anthony Lane once compared a Tarantino movie to fast food: It tastes good going down but leaves you undernourished and queasy. It was inevitable that a director would eventually serve up empty art as entertainment.

But his movies as a whole tend to sprawl. Does it really require significantly more time to tell the story of Kill Bill than Seven Samurai?

Ron Howard, a so well paid director, getting jobs, other really talented ones would puch theirselves in the stomach for. Please Hollywood, wake up. If you give Ron Howard so much possibilities, one day Hollywood will end up as a place nobody really cares for. Director Chinatown. Roman Polanski is a Polish film director, producer, writer and actor. Having made films in Poland, Britain, France and the USA, he is considered one of the few truly international filmmakers.

Roman Polanski was born in Paris in His parents returned to Poland from France in , three years Prototype of directors which always have more public relations for themselves than for their movies. You don't ask for the title as long as it's just Polanski.

He could produce a movie about pooping. Everyone and especially all professional reviewers would call it a genius' work. A really good attribute for ending up in my "most overrated directors"- list. Writer Reservoir Dogs. Quentin Jerome Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. Quentin moved with his mother to Torrance, California, when he was four years old.

In January of Nobody makes more money by producting overstyled B-movies with cool and well paid actors. All in all that's not great work, that's just because Tarantinos' naughty enough to put these things together. He's living by his well known name and his rude way to show his fans, that they are completely morons. Tarantino, you're really a sucker. But a very good one, I must confess.

Writer Avatar. He moved to the United States in The son of an engineer, he majored in physics at California State University before switching to English, and eventually dropping out.

He then drove a truck to support his Cameron gave us the Terminator and shows us what happens when Arnie Schwarzenegger's living with some True Lies. Cool, no question.

Talking about dazzlers: With him and guys like Kubrick, Nolan and Polanski, you know who made Hollywood a false paradise. Director Das Boot. Beginning with Outbreak about the outbreak of a killer virus. This film had shades of an Irwin Allen disaster movie, The Swarm , about the outbreak of killer bees Before we go any further, however, I ask you to watch this video:.

But considering his gratuitous use of this most taboo of racial epithets in previous films, it becomes are you recognizing a recurring theme yet? And when you witness his awkward, real-life interactions with black people, his strange obsession with black culture suddenly reads as pandering at best, appropriation at worst. Of course, Tarantino is not a racist. Not to a degree that anyone would be, or should be, offended, but to an extent that, like everything Tarantino touches, wears on the viewer through excessive repetition.

Allow me to clarify some things: I think Tarantino movies can be enjoyable films. Django Unchained was fun, funny, and worth a watch. I liked it. I liked Pulp Fiction the first time I watched it. I liked both Kill Bill s. Tarantino is not without talent, and I can understand, to a certain extent, why people praise his movies. The characters are not typical. Still, as the writer, he must be commended. I wish he would work solely as a writer in more situations as losing the creative control he has as both writer and director appears to suit him.

This is possibly the crux of the matter. Oft times artists find themselves frustrated by constraint, yet produce their best works under the yoke of limitation. Tarantino, in writing and directing his own movies, has proved he is unable to restrain himself. He demands that be not be restrained, and yet if From Dusk Till Dawn is any indication, he would benefit from such imposed borders. In retrospect, I wish I would have only watched one Tarantino film in my life and I wish that film were Django Unchained.

But I have watched almost all of them, and in the watching have become less and less impressed with the movies and their critical and commercial reaction. Tarantino has really, truly, only made one movie, and has then restated it seven soon to be eight times. I enjoy voice, I enjoy seeing a directorial style revisited.

If I wanted to watch masturbation on film, I could go to any number of adult websites and enjoy myself a lot more and be done in less than three minutes. In addition, the dialogue would be a lot less tedious on a repeat watch. On a scale of one to Pi, how chapped is your ass?

I too was young and naive once. I believed in Tarantino, his dialogue, his directing, his strange penchant for revenge and black people. The truth became plain to me, however, on an attempted repeat watch of Inglourious Basterds when I realized once the plot had already been revealed, it held no more enjoyment.
