I really hope he starts publishing novels after his 10th movie

"I didn't know who poisoned the coffee."... says the writer. Love it!

"Kill Bill, I guess she'll probably kill Bill in the end.." Hilarious.

I'm 55, and have spent the last 10 months writing my first screenplay. Hearing Tarantino ring so much truth will hopefully refuel me. Thanks.

Tarantino has an unbelievable ear for dialogue,,,best screen writer of our time.

I've fallen in love with reading his scripts. Django, for example, has an entire chapter dedicated to Broomhilda and what happened to her when she got separated from Django. The fight scene when Django gets revenge on the trackers is crazy in the script. QT is the man!

Listening to Tarantino, I realized he and Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) share a similar approach to screenwriting. Cormac also allows his characters to lead him through the story, but it's necessary to really understand your characters for that to happen. I've heard my characters talking in my head sometimes, but I still extensively outline first. Better choices can always be made... at anytime.

I'm very fond of the way Tarantino's characters talk, he's such a good screenwriter.

He seems like the guy who makes movies without over thinking and doubting his process, and when he keeps it consistent, it's like all the great complex things happen simultaneously without him needing to try to make them work/fit

The background music at the beginning makes it sound like he's already dead and the video is a memoriam for him.

i've seen so many videos that are just clips of quinton talking in interviews with clips of his movies in the background and there's just something hypnotic about them

I love the idea that a story or character will just kinda wander into his head and possess him so much that he eventually writes it out, because thats what happens to me alot. It never occurred to me to write these stories out in a screenplay format, but it sems so logical after watching Quentin's works and reading some of his screenplays. He really gives us so much and simultaneously so little that he almost seems to want us to take the story and continue or finish it for ourselves.

Im dreading the end of his film career. I think he’ll pop out years and years after he retires from directing and surprise everyone with another movie.

Whenever I need motivation to write I come and watch this video.

I love how our brains instantly connect the song/background music of a certain scene with the scene itself. The second this video started I thought of poor Hildy getting yanked out of the hotbox ☹️😑

Has anyone appreciated yet how nicely these interview snippets are selected? These are actually helpful tips to keep in mind!

“9th Tarantino Movie” is all the advertisement this guy needs.

writing my first novel right now thx for the advice big q

I'd love for him to do a Netflix series. Tarantino cant fit his genius into a movie. A story of his slowly unfolding throughout a season would be amazing

Cute ending to this video. It made me smile. This was an excellent compilation of snippets. You found some good ones that explain a lot of QT's process. Well done!

I wanna see this kind of videos from you in the future. It's great that you just put together all the things that he said over the years about that particular subject matter.

Quentin to move into quality TV series would probably be one of the best thing ever.

I assume he starts with a random swear-word generator, and then inserts his dialogue in between the curse words.

This is magnificently relatable, reassuring and helpful for me as an aspiring screenwriter who sometimes has motivation issues mostly due to self doubt. I admire QT's passion, tenacity and his pure, genuine love for cinema and for his craft.

Tarantino is one of the best screenwriters of modern cinema, and I really hope that after his film career, he still allows us to experience his creativity and wit via him being an author. Clearly he’s a gifted writer and I think it would be beyond interesting if he wrote a full book about the entire process and experiences behind each of his films. With snippets of never before seen versions of scripts and behind the camera secrets. I’m sure that his writing would be just as his film dialogue is; riveting, genius and legendary. Watching this as I go down a Tarantino rabbithole in the days leading up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Very informative and simple video, I loved it. Kudos.

Tarantino is my main inspiration towards screenplay writing so this was so amazing to hear!

Be in love with the process, got ya.

such a great perspective on the storytelling that really resonated with me!

You are the best Tarantino. Respect you so much man. All your movies are awesome keep up the great work. ✊

Thanks for this. Perfect timing 👍

he knows how to write. millions of books out there yet he makes it worth while... its truly powerful art.... everyone has a unique voice that should be heard in any art form.. make this world a better place...

Thank you sir for this great Video! ~love from Canada

What a precious video, Thanks

This gave me goosebumps.

As a indépendant writer myself Tarantino has always been an inspiration to me sometimes ill put on a certain song and just write I remember watching Reservoir dogs for the first time and going WOW now i wanna write

"The journey makes the destination worth while."

Congrats for this incredible video! Tarantino is just beyond everthying, sometimes when i'm thinking he's talking about writing, when reality, he's talk how about perception of life... 🙌

great work. loved it

I’d love it if you linked where you got all of these interviews. I wanna be able to listen to the whole thing

Beautiful panorama scenes from awesome director🙌

LOVED THIS!

I love the insidious tapestry of dialogue he weaves.

I absolutely resonate with the "write your film like a novel" concept, it's the way I write my films!... QT is the man

Listening to this, i couldn't help but notice the similarity between his talk here and the talk of Stephen King on character development. Both of them let their characters tell him who they are and what they want to do. The similarity in their approach to character development is quite remarkable.

I just realised that hateful eight sounds like hate filet.

Such a legendary director.

I like how you put the title card at the very end of video.

Hayao Miyazaki works the same way but he writes as he animates... he follows the instinct of the story completely

Speaking from experience, this is some of the best advice for creative people you're gonna hear. No great piece of art was made by following the rules outlined in an instructional book.

"The journey makes the destination worthwhile."

4:15 Reminds me of when Hateful Eight almost didn't come out after the script was leaked or whatever. So glad he went forward with it!

this is an incredible video

Art ! At it's finest.

Wow, what a crazy way of working. Brilliant!✨ But, can be stress full when it's time to change it into a script.

Hey, I suggested your channel to all of my friends at my university's cinema club. Loves from Turkey ✌

If you are looking to become a screenwriter just remember that this is only Quentins way. He’s found the right way for him individually based on himself. This doesn’t mean it’s the right way. If I was writing a story or a screenplay I have to know what happens at the beginning of the journey and what happens at the end of the journey but that’s just my way of doing things. Find the right way for you.

I LOVE listening to how the prosses of writing happens to writers.

Interesting insight into the mind of a genius 👍

As I approach the completion of a short film I shot during the pandemic, and watching this Tarantino video a second time, I find myself in complete agreement with Tarantino. While my short film was intended as an exercise of going through the process of writing, shooting and editing a film; the path I had taken along the way was much like what Tarantino expressed here. It was a process. And as he said, completing the process is good enough for me. I learned a lot about myself and the film making process by creating and working on this short film. And my attitude is the same. If others like my short film, that would be great. But, the process itself was rewarding enough for me, that I am fine with the outcome regardless of how it's received. My goal was to become more comfortable with the process of film making. As a result, the writing and making of my next short will be a little easier because of the short film I'm completing now. I'm grateful I watched this video a second time. It solidified my process. Letting me know that I don't have to know the ending of my films at the beginning of my writing process. I can allow the story to unfold as I write it. Many thanks for this video and your content. Stay safe.

I've always admired your thought process. How's your commercial applications coming along?

I’m new to screen writing and the way that fans talk about tarintino is as if he has had dozens of movies and has been around for several decades. Now I’m finding out that he’s only just coming out with his 9th movie?... This fucking guy knows greatly how to influence people.

I have a question for Quentin, but also for those who know him well: let's talk about the first scene in the attic of Attori hanzo. Understanding the meaning, the props, the slowness, the feeling, I tried to write it. Subsequently I compared it with the original script and I saw that in the original one many details are missing, moreover, it was shot not respecting the script. For instance: in the script, Attori Hanzo is the first to enter, while in the film, it is Beatrix. Surely there are directorial improvisations, but my question is: if the script had been written by another writer, would Quentin have shot it the same way?

amazing!!!

Some great Tarantino insight....it would be good to show respect and give props in the description to those who conducted these interviews.

His writing process is pretty much like playing RPG as the Dungeon Master, the DM also don't know much about it untill it is revealed to you.... Awesome!

It's all about the third act baby!

5:16 "I'm talkin' about a ~glass~ of beer."

Explain everything about screenplays, directing & producing

I am 47 and started my first screenplay, inspired by the teachings of QT.

I think I found a clever metaphor for the point Quentin makes after 4:30 of the video, you almost want a good novel to have a good movie, because those details will add to the movie through the actors and director. Even if not obvious on the screen

Where's the room for discovery and invention if you follow a blueprint? Love his take on writing. Long live Tarantino!

Great video such an enjoyment to watch and such a great director but what’s the song at the start of this video, (the guitar)?

he is both a writer and a director just liker Coen brothers..

I am currently trying to write my first feature film screenplay in lockdown (gulp.) I am outlining at the moment and have only gotten to just over half way. Now Tarantino's advice is that he knows really up until half way and then he will know his characters enough to figure it out from there. Yet many people such as Syd Field always say to know your ending so your film can lead up to that point. Should I halt the outlining for now and start my screenplay or continue to outline? Thanks , any advice would be great

This is great advice for people fortunate enough to be able to produce their screenplays. But that's about it.

That explains From Dusk ‘Til Dawn. From what I understand that was two scripts he was writing that went nowhere during his Video Archive days. Later he took the two, a pulpy crime drama and a desert vampire film and smooshed them together. A few tweaks here and there and vwala.

Does anyone know the music at the very beginning of the video?Great Video btw👍

7:55 that lighting tho

Quentin Tarantino has made better movies than Hollywood over the last 20 years !!! 👋🔥🇺🇲💯...

3:46 dope

Quentin Tarantino: I *need* to know *everything* about my characters *halfway* through writing the screenplay. Also QT: *I don't wanna know anything more than the audience until after I finish the first draft.*

جناب آقای کوینتین ترانتینو ، به پاس آثار زیبا و ماندگارتان درعرصه سینمای ملل ، سپاس .

What's the song that plays in the beginning?

hope he just does television long format stories with robert Rodriguez on el ray after 10 films, and get all 10 films on el rey.

When you go to film school or do a writing course for film there's always someone telling you that a script has to be written in a certain format and the action and dialogue should be written like Quinten says in this video like a 'blueprint' for the director to interpret. But as he says 'his' scripts are written to be read and enjoyed like you would a novel. My theory is when a school or an agent who doesn't necessarily represent you but is just giving you advice based on 'their' experience which frankly could mean jack shit, maybe it's just a load of bullshit to bar you from entry. I've been told such gems in the past like you could have the best story in the world but if it's formatted badly it goes straight in the bin. Well if someone does that they're not worth shit so don't lose sleep over it. The truth is knowing someone is what it's all about. If you know someone and can get them to read your script they're not going to give a fuck about the formatting. And if it reads in an entertaining way all the better. I do think it's important to get the beginning good though. When i read my friends scripts it really brings it home how important those first few pages are.

source for this? I've never heard many of these

If one was looking to find a local screenwriter what you recommend? Thanks..

I'd love to sit down and watch a few movies with Tarantino, then break them down. The guy is a movie fan first, director second. 🌍✌️

Tarantino on blueprints not working him. At the end of the day, that script is read before its looked dissected for shooting. I love it when writers have this certain element to their style that you only get when reading it. It's fun to read

How to write a logline for multi-character Differents Roles /Multi stories in One line ??

sometimes as a writer, I lean into my other projects and steal characters or certain visuals. Anyone else do that?

background music plz?

Think i want to get into screen writing

Other peoples: i dont know where my charecters are going Tarantino: they are the real.people they are talking...

Great content! but better with subtitle, please...

Mr. Tyler, I have a question than nobody wan't or unknow answer. In a screenplay is more important action than dialog. The classic Show don't tell. Looking scene by scene of Tarantino I can see how important expression and reaction of the carachters are for the meaning of scene. The timing, the B roll etcetera, but how of all this, is a screenwriter choice and how is a director choice. For instance: in a scene were a carachter is scared, what is the best way? Just write that the character is scared or show how scared he is?

good video

Anyone know the name of the song playing for the first minute of the video

does anybody know what music tracks were used in the background?
