What is Tarantino's view on rewriting history? He used admirable logic to prove that he did not rewrite history: "From the beginning, halfway, or at any time, I did not intend to rewrite history. It was only when I was in conflict with it that I decided to go my own way. When I When doing his best, it just appeared, that is, to follow rather than guide the characters in the film." "Inglourious Basterds" (2009)
To me, this argument is refreshing and almost logical. Every World War II movie in film history was shot when the audience understood how World War II ended. Many of these stories took place at a certain point in the war. The characters at the time did not know what happened, but movies near the end of the war would not modify the ending without authorization. Brian Singh 's "Action Target Hitler" is facing a dilemma. Tom Cruise plays a member who secretly assassinates Hitler in the film. He doesn't know that he will fail, but we do.
"Goal of Action Hitler" (2008)
has always been his daring business card in bringing history to the public, but Tarantino has always been bold. In this process, this director who has a special liking for film types broke everyone's expectations and it was simply explosive.
"Inglourious Basterds" is about to be released in North America, Christopher Waltz has won the Cannes Film Festival for his role as the best male actor. The decent Nazi villain Colonel Hans Landa was nominated for an Oscar. His opening scene with Dennis Menochet is very clever. A large-scale war movie rarely starts with so many dialogues.Such elaborate production, and such a moving performance.
"This is one of the scenes I wrote as early as 1998," Tarantino said. "The way I write it is the way I write all the multi-dialogue scenes. I usually let the characters start chatting, and then they start from there. I want to add that I have never given up on this script over the years. One is, I know how great the scene is.”
At the press conference after the film’s premiere in Cannes, Tarantino said that he auditioned for the role of Hans Landa After countless actors, but after Waltz walked into the room, he immediately felt that he had found the right person.
"Except for the opening scene at the farmhouse, I didn't let him rehearse with Christopher." "During the entire production process, Landa has always been a shadow over the heads of the characters and actors. I want them to feel nervous and anxious about Landa. So I don’t want them to know what Landa will do until we finish the filming. Christopher knew this, but he still wanted to rehearse, so he and I rehearsed the other scenes separately. We had a lot of discussions about Landa, especially about the way and why he used interrogation methods."
These methods seem courteous,But it's cruel. Landa played with his sword like a cat played with a helpless mouse. Sometimes he would pretend to let them run away. For example, when he and German actress Bridget von Hammersmark ( Diane Kruger) acted with each other, the latter was a double agent for the Allied forces. . Pay attention to how he compliments her and how he gets her hooked-so to speak, before he throws away the other shoe.
Tarantino vs. Kruger and as the impressive filming boss of the movie theater of Kruger and . . On the important night of Susanna's premiere, Tarantino showed off her lips, shoes, veil, tight dress and cigarettes in a fetish way.
"I have to admit that I only met von Steinberg very late," Tarantino said. "I first read a book about him, and then I went to study his film. Then his autobiography. I think this is one of the best critical books on the art of film and its limitations. Among movie geniuses like , Kubrick and Wells... my favorite genius is von Steinberg. I think the von Steinberg-style treatment I give to Kruger is better than that of Roland More.”
Roland contributed a superstar-like performance,From the frightened young girl in the opening scene, to the innocent girl standing on the ladder, to the femme fatale in the screening room.
"Innocent girl, yes. But you have to believe that if they say that the poor and innocent guy does her job, she won’t be in the movie laboratory. Kill him. Also, I like the idea, maybe this is not the first time (her lover) Marcel and her have had to use these methods in their many years of survival."
Tarantino's dialogue is always different. It usually creates imaginative horror scenes in the minds of the audience, which is an effective way to create suspense. For example, in "Pulp Fiction", how cute the dangerous Martha Wallace is portrayed. I asked Tarantino a few questions about style strategy.
"Pulp Fiction" (1994)
"There is a "director, I never took him seriously before," he said. . I always confuse him with directors like Fred Kinneman, Melvin Leroy, Robert Wise, and William Wheeler. However, I discovered him two years ago, especially when he When I directed my own script, I found a lot of things in common with him.
And I believe that if Mankiewicz wants to make a Western movie, a war movie, or a movie of muscle men,It will be a "long-winded" work dominated by dialogue. The use of the word "long-winded" is like it is a bad thing, and it really makes me very angry. His " Comet Beauty " is very "windy". It is definitely a masterpiece. "
"The Comet Beauty" (1950)
seems to have avoided the single sentiment of all his movies to a certain extent. Tarlentino seems to have avoided the single sentiment to some extent. , Melodrama, parody, satire, action, suspense, love and conspiracy and other types of free shuttle? I asked this question.
"All of the above. But I think parody and satire are inseparable. For me, the only real parody scene is the scene of Mike Myers, which It is a parody of a movie in which a group of people perform missions during World War II. There are large maps, large rooms, and opening explanatory scenes. I will add comedy to it instead of a single parody or satire."
I still have a few questions:

"I have to say, this is the idea of Brad-pretending to be Borno the hillbilly. After seeing him doing this, it was clear that the decision was right."
When the opening sounded Morricone might think they would close their eyes when watching a western movie. Isn't it?
"For the first two chapters of the film, I hope it looks like an Italian-style Western film with a World War II style."

Yes, or is the number already so good? I guess it's film.
"I can never shoot digitally! Film to death!"
