Nothing amateur about that opening scene in Inglourious Basterds. That is phenomenal writing. Next level scene. He wrote the Hans Landa character with so much depth it was almost impossible to cast an actor until Christoph Waltz auditioned at the last minute. Brilliant film. To follow that film up with Django Unchained is remarkable. That’s one of the great two movie runs in cinematic history. Two instant classics.
Yep, the most obvious one was Kill Bill being a copy of old Bruce Lee movies, not just in the plot, or dialog either, all the way down to the wardrobe.
At what point do you credit the great performances to Quentin's writing and direction?Good Writing?
His movies have always been carried by charismatic actors who put in great performances
Kill Bill was a blatant homage to the genres: Kung fu, Femme Fatale, Manga and other Japanese/Hong Kong cinema.
I wouldn't say Homage because he later blatantly disrepects people like Bruce Lee in other films. Shows me this was more of a ripoff of those genres.
You can't say one film is a homage to bruce lee, and then clown him in another film and double down on the disrepect when his daughter calls you out on it. He use them to make money, could care less about paying homage to them
This is an interesting take with some serious truth to itGood Writing?
His movies have always been carried by charismatic actors who put in great performances
I think its less his dialogue and more his direction. Everything said has a point, is referenced later or foreshadows something. That said, this scene is incredibly well written.
He made a remark about Bruce Lee but did he shyt on the genre? He brought back Legends such as Sonny Chiba and Lau Kar fai aka Gordon Lui..

Quentin's writing is very immature
It's real crass and immature; just a lot of gimmick without any style or substance to it
His writing is shock value for the sake of shock value without any poise

A couple of comments
The idea that people are saying he isn’t a good writer because of his casting or the actors’ charisma…is fukking stupid. He wrote the words jules, bill, Django, landa, mr pink, rick dalton say….and if you want to see the difference, look at the writing in true romance which carried a generally sloppily directed movie.
the hateful eight is probably the worst dialogue in his history…but is actually a testament in his direction..that movie is gorgeous and i saw it in 35mm and it was really huge in terms of the epic travel feel, contrasting with the single room acts
the best written movie of his is Kill Bill. As a story, you get love, hate, revenge, justice, a hero’s journey, relief, humility, rage, everything. Kill Bill is an absolute masterpiece. Phenomenal music and needle drops too that we take for granted now. The story itself is his best.
Best 5 performances in his movies are landa, rick dalton, mr. Orange, mr. Candy, and jules winfield. Honorable mention to the sicilian scene in true romance
since he just wrote it…11/10 though. It is also the root of his obsession with the N word…right there.
To the topic, he is a great writer because he has a knack for allowing characters to let you know their tone and tske their time to do it with every line. Landa being so scarily deliberate. The wolf being such a professional and yet thoughtful (complementing the coffee for example). Mr. Blond’s unaffected psychosis. Elle Driver being a blood thirsty psycho who legit HATES beatrix kiddo, and her disappointment in not killing her. Jules’ transformation isnt appreciated if he doesnt do the religious quotes early, and the “You…are the weak…” the way that line has to breathe, and has meaning because of everything else…matters.
He’s a phenom.
