Jennifer Jason Leigh joins Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Hateful Eight’

[Non Sequitur]

Just some more blantant than others

True. And some do it blatantly, but with more obscure movies.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Its the Sergio Leone influence. especially the opening act. QT stay jocking the classics, its his calling card.

I can see the opening act as a western influence. Now that I'm replaying the scene in my head it actually makes me think of Unforgiven for some reason.

And paying homage is something he only does plus he still structures an original story so it's really a non-issue.
As a movie fan I enjoy it and discover new films from it sometimes.
The Captain America Winter Soldier is basically a super hero version of 3 Days of the Condor which the scriptwriters have no problem admitting to

 

[BulletProof]

That's how we got the original Star Wars and the Fistful of Dollars trilogy.

But I guess Quentin's the Jay Z of film.

All the greats do it

when you can easily name the many influences to a directors work they aren't called greats. But just for arguement sake who did Hitchcock,Paul thomas Anderson or Spielberg bite off

It's subtle, but it's there. Probably an unintentional, unconcious influence.

Boogie Nights and Magnolia had Scorsese and Altman's influence all over them.

There Will Be Blood had a Kubrick influence.
