00:00:25
and it's happened so quickly right now
00:00:27
things are are are absolutely fantastic
00:00:29
but I intend to have like

00:00:37
[Music]
00:00:44
now Amsterdam
00:00:46
1992 Quentin Tarantino seeks inspiration
00:00:50
for his second film all right well you
00:00:52
can walk into a movie theater in
00:00:53
Amsterdam buy a beer so you went to to
00:00:56
write Pulp Fiction you went to Amsterdam
00:00:58
I started there yeah when you're alone
00:01:01
and life is making so what kind of
00:01:02
research were we doing in Amsterdam well
00:01:03
it wasn't so
00:01:07
much it's hard to describe how broke I
00:01:10
was through all of my 20s I've always
00:01:12
wanted to go to Europe and now I'm going
00:01:13
to go but I'm going to go for a
00:01:15
while and so that's where I just started
00:01:17
writing so they had no connection about
00:01:19
Amsterdam and writing it was just a
00:01:21
place to live and have this really
00:01:22
wonderful experience but everything
00:01:25
that's ever going on with me at whatever
00:01:27
I'm writing will fit find its way into
00:01:29
the material
00:01:30
Marca said you just got back from
00:01:33
[Music]
00:01:34
Amsterdam in the case of pulk fiction
00:01:36
this starting off point was the idea of
00:01:38
doing a crime film Anthology I was going
00:01:40
to do three crime stories but have the
00:01:43
same group of characters floating in and
00:01:46
out but the real inspiration for Pulp
00:01:48
Fiction came many years
00:01:51
earlier do you believe in
00:01:54
[Music]
00:01:57
ghosts Mario Baba became one of the
00:01:59
first directors of I got to know by name
00:02:01
because I saw Black Sabbath on late
00:02:03
night television this is Black
00:02:07
Sabbath when I saw P Fiction with with a
00:02:10
little boy just watching the the TV kind
00:02:13
of being alone in this big room and the
00:02:16
TV being his friend and to me that's
00:02:19
Quinton it's hard to go back to the very
00:02:22
very very very very beginning because I
00:02:24
always
00:02:25
remember loving
00:02:27
movies my mom was really really young
00:02:30
and my my parents were really young so
00:02:33
movies were about the only thing that
00:02:34
they could afford to
00:02:35
do actually my parents said well he's
00:02:38
going to be a director someday and
00:02:39
everything I didn't know what that was I
00:02:40
wanted to be an actor because when
00:02:42
you're a little kid you want to be inv
00:02:44
so you said well I want to do what they
00:02:47
do I give the watch to
00:02:52
you with his newly discovered purpose
00:02:55
Quentin set his priorities
00:02:57
straight yeah I quit school when I was
00:03:00
15 or 16 I was want to be an actor that
00:03:03
I had kind of this like weird tunnel
00:03:04
fishion once I got into it I didn't have
00:03:07
room for anything else and I I was
00:03:09
horrible in school and couldn't do
00:03:10
anything in school but I'd go see a
00:03:12
movie and I knew every actor in it I
00:03:14
knew the name of the director I knew the
00:03:15
name of the producer and the writer I
00:03:17
just started getting an encyclopedic
00:03:18
knowledge about that
00:03:20
stuff at ag16 I got a a a job as Usher
00:03:25
at the Pussycat Theater which was a
00:03:28
cinema I mean fullon Tri
00:03:30
X then I kind of just went through like
00:03:32
a bunch of uh uh um little like you know
00:03:35
phone sales job and this little super
00:03:37
job here and that little stupid job
00:03:38
there until eventually like around age
00:03:40
22 I got a job at a place called video
00:03:43
archives hi I'm Quinton Tarantino and
00:03:46
this is video archives I really was a
00:03:49
movie lovers he it was really terrific I
00:03:53
was a customer there and I really liked
00:03:54
it and uh eventually he asked me if I
00:03:57
wanted to job
00:03:59
people think oh so that's where you
00:04:00
learned your knowledge about movies know
00:04:02
I was already a movie expert that's how
00:04:03
I got hired at video archives I always
00:04:06
got a kick out of talking to Quinton
00:04:07
because he was so opinionated about
00:04:09
everything under the sun the video was
00:04:12
sort of like my college it was a great
00:04:14
time we were always watching movies and
00:04:16
the store was completely like um was
00:04:18
like a clubhouse you we're making
00:04:20
minimum wage all right so you know we
00:04:22
almost in order to survive we almost you
00:04:24
had to work like you know double shifts
00:04:26
like three every week you know from
00:04:28
opening to close just to make money to
00:04:30
live but we were having a great
00:04:33
time but it was just eventually at a
00:04:35
certain point I realized I didn't just
00:04:37
want to be in movies I wanted to make
00:04:39
movies I I I came to the I came to the
00:04:41
realization that I uh that I am a
00:04:43
filmmaker and I I act pretty good but
00:04:46
but what I really want to do is make
00:04:48
movies there are countless Hobbies one

00:04:51
alone you could tend a garden bake
00:04:54
brownies or pick up bird
00:04:57

00:05:00
those Hobbies luckily it doesn't have to
00:05:02

[Music]
00:05:39
dodford maybe Quenton could have done
00:05:42
with it because you have to understand
00:05:44
Quenton was so broke really broke just
00:05:47
not not a scent to his name by 91
00:05:50
Quentin had tried and failed to get
00:05:53
several film scripts off the ground but
00:05:56
when all looked hopeless and by this
00:05:58
time it looked like true romance was
00:06:00
going to set so it looked like I was
00:06:02
going to have like $330,000 and so I
00:06:04
decided Well I'm going to write a film
00:06:07
to do for 30,000 should do 12 days
00:06:10
$30,000 60 mm black and white you know
00:06:14
starring some friends and I will have a
00:06:16
movie made and
00:06:18
Fin and Quenton wouldn't sell this one
00:06:22
Reservoir Dogs was his but he'd need
00:06:26
some help by this time I had met
00:06:28
Lawrence and Lawrence was a real godson
00:06:31
Vincent I came over to this place and I
00:06:33
read this script obviously I I flipped
00:06:36
over it it was it was an
00:06:39
extraordinary piece of writing Vincent
00:06:42
we happy yeah we happy Lawrence was a
00:06:45
was an actor too and his teacher's wife
00:06:48
goes to the actor studio with Harvey
00:06:49
tell he got the script to his teacher
00:06:53
his teacher read it liked it gave it to
00:06:55
his wife she read it she liked it she
00:06:58
put it in Harvey's hands and then the
00:06:59
next thing we knew Harvey called us up
00:07:00
on the phone I contacted Lawrence bender
00:07:03
and
00:07:03
Quenton we had many
00:07:07
conversations I told him I was committed
00:07:09
to making the
00:07:11
movie he loved it not only did he want
00:07:14
to do it he wanted to help us get it
00:07:16
made having a decent script was one
00:07:18
thing but to turn words into scenes that
00:07:22
needed cash oh when we started casting
00:07:24
we didn't have any money a $5 Shake did
00:07:27
you just order her a $5 shake and Harvey
00:07:29
was like involved in the casting process
00:07:31
and everything and what he did was he
00:07:33
said look we should go to New York yeah
00:07:35
well Harvey is really good but we can't
00:07:37
afford to go we hadn't have any money I
00:07:39
was like you know broke and the producer
00:07:40
was broke well I I I just can't stand
00:07:42
this anymore we're going to have to go
00:07:44
to New York if I have to pay for it I'll
00:07:45
papay we're going to have uh you know a
00:07:47
weekend of New York casting and he paid
00:07:50
all that out of his own pocket just
00:07:52
because he thought you know the film
00:07:53
need godamn it's a pretty [ __ ] good
00:07:55
milkshake all of a sudden we weren't
00:07:56
just a couple of kids anymore with the
00:07:59
film with a script like everyone else
00:08:01
had we actually had Harvey could tell I
00:08:04
made the assumption that whoever could
00:08:05
have written this must be an intelligent
00:08:07
articulate person so if he wrote this
00:08:10
you'd have to give him the shot to
00:08:11
direct it you have any moment of doubt
00:08:14
that you could deliver that you were
00:08:16
ready to
00:08:18
deliver I think you always do have like
00:08:20
it's far like like when okay you've got
00:08:21
the job oh now I got to do it who will
00:08:23
be our first contestants right here
00:08:27
Quinton shot listed the picture from
00:08:29
beginning to end before we got into real
00:08:31
full
00:08:32
pre-production um then we cast the movie
00:08:35
and he was really nervous right before
00:08:37
casting but after the first person
00:08:39
coming in the room he realized there was
00:08:41
nothing to be nervous
00:08:42
[Music]
00:08:47
about drinks music Quentin was beginning
00:08:51
to trust his instincts enough to make a
00:08:54
decision that would raise some
00:08:57
eyebrows why trola
00:09:00
well I've always thought that John
00:09:01
Travolta is one of the greatest movie
00:09:03
stars John trola was so huge when he
00:09:08
came out Brian De Palma's blowout I
00:09:11
think it's one of the greatest movies
00:09:12
ever made John Travolta by the way giv
00:09:15
one of the best performances of all time
00:09:16
in this
00:09:17
movie we did a piece about him in the
00:09:20
Los Angeles
00:09:21
[Music]
00:09:22
Times about boy whatever happened to
00:09:25
John Travolta kind of what's happened to
00:09:26
him now but they interviewed Pauling
00:09:29
kale and they asked her um do you think
00:09:31
John can ever come back and she goes he
00:09:33
has to movies need him 91 Quenton had a
00:09:38
script cast and a
00:09:41
budget now he had to put them all
00:09:43
together you're Mr Pink and we're going
00:09:44
to he had um I forget how many men are
00:09:46
in the movie now six or eight or
00:09:48
something hey your names Mr Brown Mr
00:09:52
White that's a tricky part about doing
00:09:54
like an ensemble piece like this cuz you
00:09:56
put together six actors let the blonds
00:09:59
these six or eight um different styles
00:10:02
of uh acting and different personalities
00:10:04
one guy needs a lot of rehearsal another
00:10:06
guy doesn't like any rehearsal at all
00:10:08
it's the blue Mr the orange Mr the pink
00:10:11
Quinton won their confidence and their
00:10:13
trust from day one deal with each of
00:10:15
them as individuals some directors were
00:10:18
like this is my way of working with
00:10:19
actors and boom and everyone has to
00:10:20
adjust to him my way or the highway and
00:10:24
I think that's just
00:10:26
ego Reservoir Dog just turned up in the
00:10:28
catalog of the the Sundance Film
00:10:30
Festival and so from Sundance Miramax
00:10:33
picked up the movie and it and and the
00:10:35
heat really spread and there is a new
00:10:37
filmmaker it said um who has exploded
00:10:42
and who is uni who has a signature that
00:10:45
is distinctly his
00:10:47
[Music]
00:10:52
own me come on girl we're getting out of
00:10:56
here we got to walk down if I'm sitting
00:10:58
at home and I'm imagining I'm you know
00:11:02
the husband of some young couple and
00:11:04
we're just sitting there and thinking
00:11:06
well what do you want to see tonight
00:11:07
honey you want to see uh uh uh it happen
00:11:10
for you want to see Forest Gump you want
00:11:13
to see well what's that well that's the
00:11:14
movie where Tom Hanks plays [ __ ] guy
00:11:16
and you know meet John F Kennedy or oh
00:11:18
okay well what else well you want to see
00:11:21
uh clear and present danger well what's
00:11:23
that well that's the new Harrison Ford
00:11:24
movie or uh you want to see Reservoir
00:11:26
Dogs what what's that well that's the
00:11:28
movie where the guy gets ear cut off you
00:11:33
[Music]
00:11:35
know the film got a lot of remarks
00:11:37
because of the violence all
00:11:40
right and uh there were quite a few
00:11:42
walkouts at the predictable ear scene
00:11:45
and all the walkouts were women and so
00:11:47
it was obvious that this is a film that
00:11:48
would have its dieh hard adherence as
00:11:51
well as people who just couldn't take it
00:11:53
hey what's going on Reservoir dog ear
00:11:55
cutting off soon people went on about it
00:11:58
about how shocking was I mean I thought
00:12:00
it was brilliantly done cuz you don't
00:12:01
see anything and that's what was so good
00:12:03
about it and yet people describe it as
00:12:04
if they saw it they thought it was
00:12:06
gratuitous and in a way they were kind
00:12:08
of like like I always kind of took it as
00:12:10
a big compliment cuz I know the film
00:12:11
isn't that violent all right it's like
00:12:12
so why is it a compliment cuz I did it
00:12:15
well I mean like the scenes I got in
00:12:17
other words I thought it was more
00:12:17
violent than it was like I thought it
00:12:19
was far more violent than it was lar
00:12:21
stop putting that [ __ ] gun in my dead
00:12:24
isn't it a bit of an albatross having
00:12:25
such a big hit on your hands so soon oh
00:12:28
baby no I don't think it's an albatross
00:12:31
around my neck at all having a
00:12:32
successful first film you want to have a
00:12:34
successful film as good for you as it
00:12:36
was for me people talk about the
00:12:37
sophomore Janks people talk about oh how
00:12:39
you ever going to follow this stuff and
00:12:41
well I don't even think about that at
00:12:42
all all right because one I know what
00:12:44
the next movie I'm going to do is
00:12:46
Reservoir Dogs was Tarantino's
00:12:48
directorial debut [ __ ] was I talking
00:12:50
about but it wasn't really his first
00:12:53
attempt said around 22 23 I said well
00:12:56
you know what I'm going to make a film
00:12:57
ready first day on the job you so I
00:12:59
started making this movie what were we
00:13:01
talking about you're as c as ice and it
00:13:04
was a film called
00:13:05
um my best friend's birthday this a
00:13:08
comedy except it's for my best friend
00:13:10
Mickey yes it's his birthday and um and
00:13:14
I proceeded to work on that movie for
00:13:16
about 3 years basically financing it
00:13:19
completely myself from a minimum wage
00:13:21
job I mean I couldn't believe it I would
00:13:23
like get like $200 or so and then we go
00:13:26
off and shoot for the weekend and then
00:13:27
we would run out of money and then I I
00:13:29
would like go back to work again and
00:13:30
then like eventually I would just keep
00:13:31
piecing it together and I thought we
00:13:33
were making something really special
00:13:35
going okay come see guess what I did not
00:13:37
have all what I thought I had all right
00:13:41
[ __ ]
00:13:43
happening oh man I shot Morin in the
00:13:45

00:13:54
Charming way either and had no charm no

00:14:57
mean there was a genuine definite
00:15:00
progression really jealous free but the
00:15:03
thing is though it was like this was
00:15:05
going to be the thing that like set me
00:15:07
up all right and I'd worked three years
00:15:09
on it and the the I was able to look at
00:15:12
it in a in a realistic way after being
00:15:14
toly depressed for a little bit but only
00:15:16
a short little bit and wait for the wolf
00:15:19
you sending the wolf yeah but I have a
00:15:21
foot better so it kind of even itself
00:15:23
I'm went the wolf I solve problems this
00:15:26
was my film school all right and this
00:15:27
was the best film School person could
00:15:29
possibly have so pretty pleased with
00:15:31
sugar on top clean the [ __ ] car I
00:15:33
actually instead of like going to school
00:15:35
and paying a ton of money to be allowed
00:15:37
to use some of their crappy equipment
00:15:38
all right I actually went out and
00:15:40
actually tried to make make a a feature
00:15:42
film I can't believe this is the same
00:15:45
car well let's not start sucking each
00:15:47
other's dicks quite
00:15:50
yet my best friend's birthday was the
00:15:52
education Quenton needed for his first
00:15:55
directorial
00:15:57
success but now he faced the dreaded
00:16:00
sophomore
00:16:01
curse hold it right there God damn
00:16:04
it when you look at like a a filmmaker
00:16:07
who's done 10 or 15 films and like you
00:16:09
wow this work here is really exciting
00:16:12
and then at some point it stopped
00:16:15
being either it was like the same old
00:16:17
thing or else they became hacks or they
00:16:20
just came you know now where did that
00:16:22
happen right I can't tell you how many
00:16:24
times I've seen a guy's first film I
00:16:26
thought it was terrific and ran to the
00:16:28
theater to his second film what the hell
00:16:30
was that this is what's going to happen
00:16:33
they've overpraised my first film
00:16:35
they're going to undervalue my second
00:16:36
film they're going to like I mean you I
00:16:38
don't think it's going to be rubbish I
00:16:39
think it's going be good film but
00:16:40
they're going it's going to get less
00:16:42
recognition it's tough to imagine now
00:16:45
but pop fiction wasn't seen as a money
00:16:47
maker the studio thought
00:16:49
this and so did
00:16:52
queny people ask me from time to time do
00:16:54
you make a movie with an audience in
00:16:56
mind and my answer is yes I do all right
00:16:58
but the a I have in mind isn't some
00:17:00
faceless blob that I'm trying to second
00:17:02
guess it's me not like a focus group
00:17:04
yeah it's me I'm the audience through
00:17:07
all
00:17:08
et Palm Door goes to Pulp
00:17:18
Fiction I was betting and I was a little
00:17:21
surprised at how many there were I was
00:17:23
betting that there are other people like
00:17:25
me out there the conwin that's a big
00:17:27
Shield they throwing bricks at me on
00:17:29
General principle because my films are
00:17:31
violent or this or that and the other
00:17:33
you're misunderstanding me I'm not just
00:17:35
about that I'm about other things too
00:17:37
everywhere you go people are talking
00:17:38
about the upcoming film Pulp Fiction a
00:17:41
close-up look at the incredible movie
00:17:43
making mind of qu and Tarantino cul
00:17:45
fiction a surprise $200 million Smash
00:17:48
Hit worldwide that earned seven Oscar
00:17:51
nominations and worldwide Acclaim for
00:17:54
its 32-year-old director Quenton
00:17:57
Tarantino you think we're upset with
00:17:59
Tarantino and Pulp Fiction this is just
00:18:01
the tip of the iceberg the information
00:18:03
super highway is just buzzing with
00:18:06
Worldwide discussions about every frame
00:18:08
of this movie here are a couple of
00:18:10
sample screens from the internet the
00:18:12
worldwide web where there are dozens of
00:18:14
Tarantino areas thousands of messages
00:18:17
about pul fiction have been sent and
00:18:19
received for months now from all over
00:18:21
the world and reflecting the conviction
00:18:23
of some people that Pulp Fiction has an
00:18:24
underlying spiritual message the
00:18:26
internet even has an online Church of
00:18:31
Tarantino Pulp Fiction elevated
00:18:34
Tarantino to a new level but there were
00:18:37
still questions on his longevity I think
00:18:40
what's going to be interesting is what
00:18:41
he can develop Beyond writing about
00:18:43
movies and start writing about all of
00:18:45
this stuff out here where do you go now
00:18:47
I mean do you have any sense of you've
00:18:49
made the film and people are describing
00:18:51
you as the hottest film director in
00:18:53
America we all keep talking about this
00:18:55
mean friends at all we keep talking
00:18:56
what's Quenton going to do next we made
00:18:58
be asking is there a danger here of too
00:19:01
much too soon he's got to mature he's
00:19:04
got to stop being this this Cinema free
00:19:07
kid who is so clever and so wild because
00:19:10
it's the most dangerous thing that can
00:19:11
happen to you is to be successful within
00:19:14
that system because they want more of
00:19:15
the same and you can live in this
00:19:16
totally fantasized world in the case of
00:19:19
Quinton Tarantino my diagnosis would be
00:19:22
Quinton you are overextended she comes
00:19:25
home from work in about an hour and a
00:19:27
half you can't bring him in the the back
00:19:29
cuz she's going to divorce me right you
00:19:31
and so the doctor's prescription you
00:19:33
should slow down and take care of
00:19:35
business that was you acting in the film
00:19:36
as well you you have a nice role did you
00:19:37
sleep with the director yeah well I yes
00:19:40
I uh I gave him job in your case
00:19:43
business should mean riding and
00:19:44
directing movies not becoming a
00:19:46
character actor and a talk show
00:19:48
Personnel no I've always had kind of a
00:19:50
game plan and everything U but it's like
00:19:53
uh right now I don't know what it is I
00:19:55
want to do now I don't have the story
00:19:56
that I'm burning to tell and also making
00:19:59
a movie is really hard I mean when I was
00:20:01
like uh when I was like a you know film
00:20:03
geek and everything I'd look at like
00:20:04
like fos Bender's career and go now
00:20:06
that's a career to have like you know 30
00:20:09
Films in 10 years the way to go then I
00:20:11
made a film and go you know what life's
00:20:12
a little too short to do that you know
00:20:14
um it's like it's like climbing a
00:20:16
mountain I don't want to climb another
00:20:17
mountain right after I get through with
00:20:19
everything I want to like rest a little
00:20:21
bit and then get up
00:20:24
again only two films in Tarantino new
00:20:27
film making is an end
00:20:29
game because he gives everything to his
00:20:32
scripts taking genre characters and
00:20:34
genre situations have them sound like
00:20:37
real people man I just been sitting here
00:20:39
thinking about what about the miracle we
00:20:41
witnessed Miracle you witnessed I
00:20:43
witnessed a freak C look dialogue is the
00:20:46
easiest thing in the world for me and
00:20:47
because it comes so easy it's almost I
00:20:49
almost feel like it's not really
00:20:50
mine what is a miracle V Act of God like
00:20:54
if there is such a thing as a God's gift
00:20:56
or anything you should have this voice
00:20:59
inside of you saying tell the truth
00:21:02
that's one of the gifts he gave me when
00:21:04
um God makes the impossible possible
00:21:07
tell the truth tell the truth all right
00:21:09
reveal a few secrets and the truth is
00:21:10
your life experience exactly yeah I do
00:21:12
like the idea of a 10 film filmography
00:21:16
especially a filmography where I've
00:21:17
spent the last 30 years giving
00:21:19
everything in the world that I have
00:21:21
to really thinking about quitting
00:21:24
nothing to do life yeah but just walk
00:21:28
around
00:21:29
most definitely
00:21:33
[ __ ] and then dropping the mic what she
00:21:36
going to do then and saying okay that's
00:21:38
it basically I'm just going to walk the
00:21:40
earth you say that you will do 10 films
00:21:43
when I get you still will to have more
00:21:46
tantino for the war to you what you mean
00:21:48
walk to Earth you know like Kane and
00:21:50
Kung Fu walk from place to place meet
00:21:52
people get an Adventures I think it's
00:21:54
still going to be 10 I mean look it
00:21:56
could be 11 there is an umbilical link
00:21:59
from the 10th film to Reservoir Dogs
00:22:02
it's about leaving a thoughtfully
00:22:05
composed filmography and how long do you
00:22:08
intend to walk to Earth till God puts me
00:22:10
where he wants me to be there is this
00:22:12
artistic intention that carried up from
00:22:14
the from the beginning all the way
00:22:15
through the end and what if you don't do
00:22:17
that it takes forever then I'll walk
00:22:21
for and so now I like the idea of being
00:22:24
more of a writer and just me and my pen
00:22:26
and a piece of paper and just kind of
00:22:28
feeling that way rarely in our years on
00:22:30
the movie Beat has a new director become
00:22:32
as hot as fast as Quinton Tarantino one
00:22:36
thing that I've done that I'm like the
00:22:38
proudest of is the fact that people talk
00:22:41
about wow you've had such success and
00:22:42
it's just been so overnight and whatever
00:22:45
whatever success I've got has come after
00:22:47
like 8 years of just nothing working
00:22:51
out he represents a moment in time he's
00:22:54
been called the first director who's a
00:22:56
rock and roll
00:22:57
star fiction is the movie of the 9s but
00:23:00
it's so much more than that it
00:23:03
changed film making forever in what way
00:23:07
you see pul fiction as as as changing
00:23:10
the the nature of your career okay I
00:23:13
I'll just say I mean it it it changed
00:23:15
Cinema symbolized to me like the world
00:23:18
is changing I mean it changed every
00:23:20
filmmaker I've ever met since and I
00:23:22
remember thinking like wow like the the
00:23:25
world is different like sometimes you'll
00:23:27
see a work of art a something and you'll
00:23:30
say that thing just changed everything
00:23:34
are you still retiring sure am like I
00:23:37
worked out in the Finish we're not at to
00:23:39
