What’s strange is (but this may not be such a coincidence), I love when someone is in control of everything they are working on. Like there aren’t any outside forces limiting the creativity. Or that something can be completely and totally someone else’s own. I love this whole “Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino” thing. I get kicks out of seeing that written on screen. I love the fact that QT has a say in all aspects of his film, definitely what we see on screen anyway. It’s true that QT’s films are 100% his own. When I watch his films, it’s like I’m watching everything QT has touched. I have a strong fascination with and closeness to it. I’m all about aesthetics, especially when it comes to music and film. And it’s so satisfying to know that QT is allowed virtually limitless freedom when it comes to the art form he was destined to be a part of. I mean not even Scorsese has that!
Btw, I do consider Kill Bill to be his 4th film. Four Rooms was just a segment, that can’t possibly be considered a feature length film, it was an anthology film. With regards to My Best Friend’s Birthday, it annoys the shit out of me when people call this his first film. That was like the next step up from Home Video. It wasn’t even finished or released. There was no ending and didn’t some of it get burned? As earlier, I get kicks out of this whole “Xth film by QT” thing. I love saying and thinking it. Death Proof - the 5th film by Quentin Tarantino. Love it. ;D
