Quentin Tarantino and his cult filmography
Undeniably, Quentin Tarantino is one of the best directors, producers and screenwriters of all time, according to a good number of movie fans. It's difficult to miss his works like Pulp Fiction released in 1994, Reservoir Dogs which saw the light of day two years earlier, or the Kill Bill saga. These productions are always visceral and violent, which leaves a lasting impression on the minds of spectators around the world. His filmography is not as extensive as that of a large number of directors, but his productions always have the merit of being of high quality.
However, although his films are praised by specialist critics and spectators, Quentin Tarantino believes he made a mistake when writing one of his most cult feature films. This is Kill Bill, where he announced that he did not want to reproduce what he had done at the time. A statement that may seem surprising for a film so appreciated by its fans.
Quentin Tarantino's mistake in Kill Bill
Kill Bill features a woman who has sworn revenge on her former teammates who massacred her family and ruined her marriage. The scenario was so ambitious that Quentin Tarantino decided to direct this story into two feature films. The crafting of this young woman's story got out of hand and became much bigger than he would have liked. Caught in writing the screenplay, the whole thing almost became a novel.
But literally, by the time I did Kill Bill, it was so full of prose that I started to understand why people write a screenplay and make it more of an outline. In fact, in Kill Bill, I had written a novel.
Since Kill Bill, the 61-year-old filmmaker has vowed to keep control of his creations: “I have made it a point of honor to no longer do this kind of thing. I tried hard not to do that kind of thing.” However, despite the length of his script, he refused to cut these two films short. He could have condensed everything into a single film, but that would have deleted some ultra-cult scenes. So, fans believe that it was a big mistake that it would have been a shame not to make. Without it, the two Kill Bill films would have been very different.
