Quentin Tarantino - The man and his movies

jackie brown is absolutely briliant movie

Finally another soul that liked it. Tarantino was definitely influenced by Elmore Leonard's story telling style and dialogues. Only contemporary (though he is 80s plus) novelist I read.

QT admitted to have adapted Leonard's novels in his mind.People were going on about "Pulp Fiction" being the best Elmore Leonard film not written by Elmore Leonard. In the same Charlie Rose interview when he said that, QT also describes his casting process for the part of Pam Grier, and describes Deniro's acting in this film.

Thilak, do you have the link to that interview? Appreciate it. PF is probably more violent version of Leonard's books. QT's films are heightened version of Leonard's crime novels. And I am always wondering why De Niro is in that movie, athuvum allakai to Jackson's character.

I don't have access to it right now. It was in google videos. I'll get you a link later today.

QT wanted an actor who could render that role with body language. He sent over the script to Deniro & he immediately wanted to do it. QT had asked Deniro to have the body-language of a pile of old clothes for the part. In the sense, his character should be able to show nuance, its history. This character had been in jail for many years, and Deniro's performance is so great that the audience could make-out what he had been through & the past more often than not, shows up in one's demeanor. It also explains the levels of indifference & self-containment that Deniro's character is able to manufacture, against Jackson's girlfriend, played by Bridget Fonda. After QT's elucidation, I'm able to appreciate Bobby's part a bit more!

Jeez...appadi ninaikkave illa. I suppose I should cut de Niro some slack :P and watch it again. But I don't mind doing so, great movie, wonderful book.
