He watches them all one night...then he comes up with his own version of those movies. Often times improving on them. Yeah, I think that's exactly what it does. His "research" for his films is just other films. For example, if he's writing a war film (e.g. the upcoming Inglorious Bastards), then instead of researching actual past wars, his "research" is constituted of watching war movies. If he's writing crime movies, then instead of researching actual criminality, his "research" is constituted of watching crime movies. And so on. I believe I mentioned in another thread how Tarantino's films are simply reinterpretations of other films. A copy of a copy. He attempts to hoodwink the audience into thinking he is doing something creatively unique by coming up with eccentric dialogue to cover up his creative deficiencies, but I think his pseudo-creativity is becoming more and more evident to mainstream audiences as time goes on. PS If you want to know which film Pulp Fiction is largely based on, then I suggest you add Chungking Express to your list. |
