Quentin was interviewed by Rose last night. Sorry, we're going to have to wait 10 or 15 yrs. for KB 3. "The Bride," he explained, has earned a well-deserved rest before he has the African-American daughter seek her out in her peaceful retirement for revenge (and leaving, of course, the possibility for "The Q's" daughter to do the same). I had heard "3" was already done and it featured the one-armed and the blind ladies coming after "Q" but it seems, if they are involved, it will be a long time coming.
He also said KB was an light divertiment while he finished the long-worked upon screenplay of what will be his next movie and his masterwork, a WW2 epic titled "Inglorious Valor." Being Quentin, he said he spent years on KB because he wanted it to be as good as anything in any similar genre.
KB2, he mentioned, has some trademark QTquirks, not the least of which is that each chapter is parodying some different form of revenge genre, i.e. Western, kung-fu, Japanese, etc.
Perhaps most interestingly, he shared how he wrote screenplays. He doesn't. Not traditionally, anyhow: he writes in novel form. It's hell, he says, to shoot from but it gives him lots of material to choose.
Follow Ups:
hit this link and eat this up. It's long but read the whole thing
do you think he would have been as successful? "Adam Smith's Pulp Fiction" or "John Blog presents Kill Bill"?
> > I had heard "3" was already done and it featured the one-armed and the blind ladies coming after "Q"... <Sorry, that was probably the impression I gave with my post linked below. Tarantino said he would eventually make Vol. 3 and I extrapolated a likely plot using the elements from other Asian films in this genre.
I think the story needs a tragic ending to break the cycle of revenge and suffering. A Zen Buddhist ending would have the Bride dying at the end (and defeating her foes) to save the daughter. In Vol. 2, the Bride says that the massacre at the wedding rehearsal was what started all of this bloodshed, but what really started it was the Bride's choice to become an assassin in the first place and abandon her humanity. Through Vol. 1 and most of Vol. 2 she becomes even less human and more a killing machine (while Bill, ironically, is sympathetic at the end of Vol.2--protective of his daughter and brother, raised by a terrible surrogate father). Only at the end of Vol. 2 does she try to become human again. She confesses to Bill that she didn't actually believe she could successfully reclaim her humanity by marrying and becoming a mother. And I think that her reclaimed motherhood at the end of Vol. 2 will fail. The daughter will resent the mother for her tainted past. Eventually, the suffering caused by the Bride (and those vengeful women) will catch up with both her and her daughter. Cause and Effect.
Oh well, guess I'll have a couple of decades to wait and find out.
I consider him one big wasted talent.
violent for the sake of violent and wierd for the sake of wierd...Sort of the "new" David Lynch although IMHO not anywhere near as talented....
He's only 41 years old, he's got enough time to fulfill his talent. Reservoir Dogs is excellent and Pulp Fiction is quite good. The only bad movie he's made is Kill Bill Vol.2.N
I find the films like teh Dogs completely unecessary and degrading the human nature - I detest such films. As I wrote before, if the best parts of Pulp Fiction were compressed into a half-hour film that would make sense, as it was it managed to kill good spots with too many bad ones.A master must know where to stop, not just where to begin, and he doesn't. 41 is NOT a young age for a creator.
