"This is possibly one of my favourite movies" Says Tarantino, refering to an Australian Exploitation (OzPloitation) in the documentary, "Not Quite Holywood"
I can't remember excactly what movie he is refering to, but watch the movie if you want to find out more about Tarantino.
This is my favorite topic. 'Quentin Tarantino' is a ghost director ie. we don't ever see what the real author-director is like: a person (in fact in 'Tarantino''s case 2 different men) receive scripts to learn for the answers to journalists' questions about the 'Quentin Tarantino' films. 'Tarantino' is a pseudonym that was created for this series of films and TV works which have a cartoonesque concern.
The creator of 'Quentin Tarantino' and of the 'Quentin Tarantino' repertoire is fascinated by the fact that theories and language communicate, even though the people speaking to one another often haven't a clue, each what the other person is on about!
This isn't such a daft comment as it looks on the surface. Most of us have had the experience of coming to a conversation from the opposite viewpoint from someone else and finding total misunderstanding until we both realise that we've simply been looking at the same thing from opposite angles.
The amazing thing for 'our film-maker' is that people understand one another by mapping kind of shapes of meaning in gestures and expressions and in the colours and shapes evoking emotion, much more than by really being sure what facts someone is conveying or what concept someone means when they say a particular thing. 'Quentin Tarantino' believes that emotional and anatomical reality is universal in many ways.
On the other hand, misunderstandings - because people haven't explained properly - are devastating in our lives. That's why a film-maker cares so much to make the ways in which meaning is communicated, better understood.
On a day to day, life-sustaining level, misunderstanding can waste so much time. Misunderstanding can waste so much time that our lives are risked because the people who cook our food, drive our buses etc., get too tired if their work is made harder by messing about. They might get ill and die or they might make mistakes that injure us.
The importance of helping each other over practical things is so crucial that misunderstanding can aggravate us so much that .......................................eg. we might even go and cut someone's ear off (as occurs in 'Reservoir Dogs') ......................................if someone just doesn't get the point.
Cartoons make the point with such simplicity.
Cartoons are the ultimate in graphical mime.
So you see, the 'Quentin Tarantino' films use real actors and places but are over bold in making comments about feelings (they are like cartoons in that); in fact; they are rather allegorical.
Also: you see: because he is not a real person but a pseudonym, 'Quentin Tarantino' is more or less a fictional or even a cartoon character himself ((himselves) - 2 stand-ins/2 actors presenting to the press as the ghost- author-director)).
At least one of the actors who has the stage/directorial name, 'Quentin Tarantino' knows that the film-maker who created the 'Quentin Tarantino' oeuvre is an English woman (JLW) who expected to be taking over being known to the press and public after 'Reservoir Dogs' and by the variation (on the authorial-directorial name):- 'Quiatzar': 'Quiatzar Tarantino': changed from 'Quentin Tarantino'. In fact I am she, writing about the 'Quentin Tarantino' films. So if you see, read or hear a woman making this claim, check that she has exactly my 'answers.com' id.. I also wrote 'The Magic Roundabout'.
Levels of fact removed from other levels of fact. This is also a subject of cartoons. When someone quotes history, how can we know if theyre ever telling or writing the truth? There do appear to be answers to that question and scientists and artists develop layers building layer after layer: first one thing is certain in their and their circle of friends minds, then they can add another layer, checking back, time after time.
Its the same as the way computers work. Symbols convey a meaning to the next layer although each symbol in itself is nothing but a meaningless blob like a patch of cartoon colour. I love that.
i am not sure what you mean by chacters but i will try to help u as much as possiable with some main actors. Pulp fiction: Sam Jackson, John travolota, and Bruce Willis. Jackie Brown: Sam Jackson, Kevin Bacon and Chris tucker(small role but noteable actor). Sin city( Jessica Alba, Mickey rourke, and Bruce willis) Resavoir dogs: Tim roth(star of show lie to me) and Michael Madsen(small role in sin city) Kill Bill: Uma Thurman(plays girl with black hair in Pulp Fiction) Michael Madsen. Inglourious basterd: Brad Pitt

The underdog school of film, simple as that. He was a clerk at a film store and shot short films on the weekends, wrote on weekdays/nights. He practiced and became perfect, like a baseball player hitting the cages every night.
The concept of the director as auteur (meaning author, in French) is that a director can use all the work and skills of actors, cameramen, makeup artists, cinematographers, musicians, and everyone else who is involved in making a movie, to reflect his or her own personal vision, so that the resulting movie does exactly what the director intended, and every aspect of that movie contributes to that intended result.
No, he is not a Jew. Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, the son of Connie Zastoupil (née McHugh) of Irish and Cherokee Native American ancestry, and Tony Tarantino, part Italian from Queens, New York. - http://tzvee.blogspot.com/2009/08/is-quentin-tarantino-jewish.html
yes, in the scene with the bear Jew, as the camera first moves towards the 3 Nazis still alive. one of the dead Nazis laying on the ground is Tarantino.
Not much due to many production companys not taking him seriously. Around 200 million. But one day he might be the best. But until that day his worth mothing in the show bussines
No. Of the films he directed, he was not in Inglorious Basterds, Sin City, or Kill Bill. That doesn't include films he wrote or produced.
