Quentin Tarantino delves into film history, offering a director's perspective on classic crime thrillers Point Blank (1967), The Outfit (1973), and Richard Stark's (Donald E. Westlake) Parker character. The video is written by Quentin Tarantino via his Cinema Speculation book. But to be clear, this is an unauthorized fan-made video.
Quentin Tarantino's Cinema Speculation is a collection of essays exploring films that have influenced and inspired him throughout his career. His chapter on The Outfit, a 1973 film directed by John Flynn, showcases his deep appreciation for the movie. Tarantino highlights The Outfit as the most successful adaptation of mystery writer Donald Westlake's character Parker, a professional armed robber. This chapter delves into various aspects of the film and other related movies, offering a rich exploration of this genre.

In the video, Tarantino discusses how The Outfit, which features a climactic all-out assault led by the criminal character played by Robert Duvall on the mob boss's headquarters, exemplifies the quintessence of a specific type of crime film. He expands this discussion by referencing other films with Parker stand-ins, like Point Blank (starring Lee Marvin) and other similar Parker characters like Heat (starring Robert De Niro). This wide range of references shows Tarantino's extensive knowledge and love for cinema, particularly films with a gritty, crime-focused narrative.
Moreover, the video is an appreciation of The Outfit and a broader exploration of the crime genre and its impact on cinema. It offers insights into how these films have shaped Tarantino’s perspective on filmmaking and storytelling. The chapter is part of a larger work in which Tarantino shares his views on a wide range of films, from classic Hollywood movies to cult favorites, providing a unique perspective on the art of filmmaking​​​​.
Written by: Quentin Tarantino* (taken from his book Cinema Speculation. Tarantino had nothing to do with the making of this video. This is a fan-made tribute to him and classic cinema.)

Can't really agre on the 80s. The most absurd concepts made it to film in that decade Repo Man is a perfect example of that. When I hear 80s movie I associate absolutely bonkers concepts with it. They often play in suburban settings which really makes you feel at home and connect with the movie. It was a very crazy decade just so completely different form the rest. Where music creativity peaked in the late 60s movies peaked in the 80s/90s. They had perfected the formula for realistic movie blood, had a lot of practical effects and used when they implemented CG very effectively without putting too much emphasis on it.-

I’m not having that about John Vernon. He’s great in Point Blank, but I loved that whole movie. Just watch Vernon’s performance in Charlie Varrick starring Walter Matthau. The way he manipulates the bank manager into suicide, leaving it just unclear enough that you can’t be sure 100% if he knew he was forcing him to kill himself or not. It’s a master class in subtlety and yet focussed malevolence.

I find the director's cut of Payback to be the most faithful adaptation of The Hunter (it's better than the theatrical cut), but the best movie based on a Stark book I've seen is POINT BLANK. I disagree with just about every negative comment Tarantino has to say about the movie and the actors in it.

The ending of Manhunter sucked and felt so jarring. After killing The Tooth Fairy Killer, Will Graham has a happy day on a Florida beach like it never happened?! Absolute nonsense. It should’ve ended right there when the killer is shot to pieces. Just linger on that moment of confusion and insanity. It would’ve not totally raped my favorite theme from the novel. But as Demi Moore would say…

I used to be a film reviewer and listening to this audio version of Tarantino's essays, I have to give him credit . Quentin is a screenwriter not a film writer and film critic but he provides a pretty good examination of movies . It is decent film criticism . Clearly Tarantino is more film goer than film reviewer in terms of his mindset. However, He has clear points of view and makes cogent arguments. His promotion of the 1973 film The Outfit here is a worthy effort to resurrect an old, forgotten film. I don't agree with him about Point Blank. It certainly wasn't 60s TV .Tarantino doesn't mention that Boorman shot and structured this film in a very different, often flashback driven elliptical style. It was a different kind of crime film in terms of editing, sound and photography . Point Blank was subversive for a major studio film at the time. Also Bill Murray and Chevy Chase played very different personas in movies. Chevy played protagonists who thought they were better than anyone else in the movie and thus it was realistic that he didn't change much in his movies. Bill played guys who didnt think they were better than anyone else but not any worse. Usually he could change in movies because he was flexible and he was so good at making light of the uptight, often tight assed men around him.

When you have to list off 80s films like that, they're not "one-offs." The 80s was less gritty and grimey as the 70s yeah. But it was still a great era. Those same directors were still working and putting out crazy stuff. Dune? Robocop? Those movies didn't play it safe.

The 80s wasn't all bs. Beyond the directors and movies mentioned in this video, there are the beginnings of some interesting directors like Spike Lee (Do The Right Thing), Steven Soderbergh (Sex, Lies and Videotape), Sam Raimi (Evil Dead movies), John Sayles did Matewan and Eight Men Out, Alan Rudolph (Choose Me) and the Coen Brothers (Blood Simple). This is Spinal Tap and Stand By Me (Rob Reiner). Paris Texas and Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders. Akira Kurosawa's Kagemusha and Ran, The Vanishing by George Sluizer, Cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore and lots of action movies like City on Fire, The Terminator, and John Woo's The Killer. Noted directors did some good stuff. Coppola did Rumble Fish and The Cotton Club, Scorsese did After Hours, The King of Comdey, and Raging Bull and Kubrick did The Shining and Full Metal Jacket. One of my favorite 80s movie is a movie very few people have heard of or watched, Parting Glances. Tons of others like Drugstore Cowboy, River's Edge, Desperately Seeking Susan, The Long Good Friday, My Dinner with Andre, The Road Warrior, Robocop, Stop Making Sense, Something Wild, and Blade Runner. Yeah, there was a lot of dross but that seems to be par for the course in every decade. Pulp Fiction spawned bunches of mostly bad knock-offs. Hollywood is nothing if unoriginal -- chase what sells tickets.

One thing- in RONIN there is a scene where the Irish woman asks Deniro why he's there. He tells her she knows why he is there and she answers "the man in the whalechair (its like a wheelchair but Irish lol) and in HEAT Deniro's character takes stolen bonds or whatever to consult with dundunDUN a man in a wheelchair. I personally think they are meant to be the same character.

It’s funny that Tarentino goes on about older directors knuckling under to the politics of the 80s, saying he was brash, brave and didn’t give a damn. But Tarantino did the same, and continues to do so. He fails to realize that their motivation and circumstances now align with his: they’re of a certain age and fame, and they want to keep the respect and fame. He thinks he has not changed as he gets older, and no doubt other directors in the past felt the same.
