00:27:44,917 --> 00:27:45,960 just went through the roof. 704 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,628 I said, "Quentin, did you have any idea 705 00:27:47,628 --> 00:27:48,212 how big this would be? 706 00:27:48,212 --> 00:27:51,173 He goes, (inhales sharply) "Yeah, no." 707 00:27:51,173 --> 00:27:52,008 (laughs) 708 00:27:52,008 --> 00:27:55,761 The Palme d'Or goes to... 709 00:27:55,761 --> 00:27:56,804 ...Pulp Fiction. 710 00:28:32,757 --> 00:28:34,675 What do you do after that masterpiece? 711 00:28:34,675 --> 00:28:36,177 When you know you're damned. 712 00:28:36,177 --> 00:28:37,219 There's, you know, 713 00:28:37,219 --> 00:28:40,473 after Citizen Kane, Welles walks away 714 00:28:40,473 --> 00:28:41,599 from Magnificent Ambersons. 715 00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:42,850 Quentin's made Pulp Fiction. 716 00:28:42,850 --> 00:28:46,020 He's made one of the great films of the last half century. 717 00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:49,398 So what does he do next? 718 00:28:49,398 --> 00:28:53,611 A genre film that in and of itself is really wonderful. 719 00:28:53,611 --> 00:28:55,780 Plays with time, plays with character, 720 00:28:55,780 --> 00:28:57,490 plays with your perceptions, 721 00:28:57,490 --> 00:29:00,117 and he doesn't try and redo Pulp Fiction. 722 00:29:00,117 --> 00:29:01,452 I know he has 723 00:29:01,452 --> 00:29:05,247 this strong Blaxploitation influence in his life. 724 00:29:05,247 --> 00:29:05,915 For God's sake. 725 00:29:05,915 --> 00:29:08,542 People say he makes 726 00:29:08,542 --> 00:29:09,543 revenge movies. 727 00:29:09,543 --> 00:29:12,379 You know, those were sort of revenge movies, 728 00:29:12,379 --> 00:29:14,215 all about gettin' the man or gettin' back at the man Sweet 729 00:29:14,215 --> 00:29:16,467 or gettin' back at the person who did somethin' bad to you. 730 00:29:16,467 --> 00:29:20,054 It's one of those things that makes his movies fun. 731 00:29:20,054 --> 00:29:21,847 And those are the things 732 00:29:21,847 --> 00:29:24,934 that influenced his young cinema experiences, 733 00:29:24,934 --> 00:29:26,227 like mine. 734 00:29:26,227 --> 00:29:27,603 He broke everything down. 735 00:29:27,603 --> 00:29:29,730 He explained, like, "When I was a kid, 736 00:29:29,730 --> 00:29:31,607 my mom dated black guys. 737 00:29:31,607 --> 00:29:33,776 Black guys would try to get in good with my mom, 738 00:29:33,776 --> 00:29:37,822 would take me to, uh, Blaxploitation films 739 00:29:37,822 --> 00:29:39,240 to watch as a kid. 740 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,991 So that's what I grew up on. 741 00:29:40,991 --> 00:29:45,746 So I'm writing what I saw, what's inside my DNA, 742 00:29:45,746 --> 00:29:47,665 and then that's why my characters are 743 00:29:47,665 --> 00:29:49,041 always very strong." 744 00:29:49,041 --> 00:29:50,167 You helped her, didn't you? 745 00:29:50,167 --> 00:29:51,085 When you're sort of bred 746 00:29:51,085 --> 00:29:52,461 into naturally appreciating, 747 00:29:52,461 --> 00:29:54,338 it's not like someone's taught you, 748 00:29:54,338 --> 00:29:57,299 you should respect women, or black people are equal. 749 00:29:57,299 --> 00:29:59,135 Like someone's not teaching you that lesson. 750 00:29:59,135 --> 00:30:01,011 You just know it to be true. 751 00:30:01,011 --> 00:30:02,763 This is how he views the world, 752 00:30:02,763 --> 00:30:06,392 and he paints the world the way he sees it in his movies. 753 00:30:06,392 --> 00:30:09,603 And so the power is this is his truth. 754 00:30:09,603 --> 00:30:11,397 Jackie Brown is in many ways 755 00:30:11,397 --> 00:30:13,983 an ode to the sort of Blaxploitation films 756 00:30:13,983 --> 00:30:14,525 of the period. 757 00:30:14,525 --> 00:30:16,235 And who are you gonna cast? 758 00:30:16,235 --> 00:30:17,069 Pam Grier. 759 00:30:18,112 --> 00:30:19,363 I'd heard about Foxy Brown 760 00:30:19,363 --> 00:30:21,282 and Coffy and all the Pam Grier movie. 761 00:30:21,282 --> 00:30:21,740 You know, of course, 762 00:30:21,740 --> 00:30:23,033 Pam Grier's had a glorious career 763 00:30:23,033 --> 00:30:24,785 even up before Quentin Tarantino. 764 00:30:24,785 --> 00:30:26,954 He just, like, has made her that- that much cooler 765 00:30:26,954 --> 00:30:27,788 in my opinion. 766 00:30:27,788 --> 00:30:29,707 Pam Grier can kick ass, 767 00:30:29,707 --> 00:30:30,332 you know what I mean? 768 00:30:30,332 --> 00:30:32,793 It's not all Foxy Brown and it ain't all, 769 00:30:32,793 --> 00:30:34,378 you know, Straight Outta Compton. 770 00:30:37,631 --> 00:30:40,259 Jackie Brown, to me, that performance is 771 00:30:40,259 --> 00:30:42,678 so amazing and beautiful. 772 00:30:42,678 --> 00:30:44,889 But still like so strong 773 00:30:44,889 --> 00:30:48,017 and so flawed and desperate, 774 00:30:48,017 --> 00:30:50,102 and yet very sort of steely. 775 00:30:50,102 --> 00:30:52,479 I mean he writes women like nobody's business. 776 00:30:52,479 --> 00:30:55,816 In the last forty-five to fifty years, 777 00:30:55,816 --> 00:31:00,196 women have not been given a fair shake in terms of, 778 00:31:00,196 --> 00:31:05,159 uh, leading roles in, uh, movies where we can see 779 00:31:05,159 --> 00:31:07,036 what makes the woman tick. 780 00:31:07,036 --> 00:31:08,495 That's why you came here to kill me. 781 00:31:08,495 --> 00:31:09,497 (chuckles) I ain't come over here to kill you. 782 00:31:09,497 --> 00:31:10,247 Oh, no, that's fine. 783 00:31:10,247 --> 00:31:10,831 It's okay. 784 00:31:11,999 --> 00:31:12,917 Now I forgive you. 785 00:31:12,917 --> 00:31:14,418 That's the thing with Quentin's dialogue. 786 00:31:14,418 --> 00:31:15,502 A couple of men that would be like, 787 00:31:15,502 --> 00:31:17,671 I mean, women don't really talk like that. 788 00:31:17,671 --> 00:31:18,797 And I was like (laughs). 789 00:31:18,797 --> 00:31:21,509 Aw, that's cute, (inhales) 'cause we really do. 790 00:31:21,509 --> 00:31:24,011 Now if I have to do more than a year, 791 00:31:24,011 --> 00:31:26,472 you'll pay another one hundred thousand dollars. 792 00:31:26,472 --> 00:31:27,973 Women would come up to us and be like, 793 00:31:27,973 --> 00:31:28,766 "Oh, my God. 794 00:31:28,766 --> 00:31:30,893 How- Is he a woman on the inside?" 795 00:31:30,893 --> 00:31:32,019 I'm like yeah, he's kind of, 796 00:31:32,019 --> 00:31:33,229 he's a bit of woman on the inside. 797 00:31:33,229 --> 00:31:34,605 He's a little bit black on the inside. 798 00:31:34,605 --> 00:31:36,857 He's just got a whole bunch of stuff going on in him. 799 00:31:36,857 --> 00:31:39,777 If you think that you know more 800 00:31:39,777 --> 00:31:42,821 about a movie or an actor or- or anything to do 801 00:31:42,821 --> 00:31:45,532 with cinema history, he will just sit there 802 00:31:45,532 --> 00:31:49,328 and smile and listen to you, and then he will bury you 803 00:31:49,328 --> 00:31:51,121 with how much stuff he knows. 804 00:31:51,121 --> 00:31:53,415 Exactly the fact that Quentin didn't go to film school. 805 00:31:53,415 --> 00:31:55,709 I guess his film school was video archives 806 00:31:55,709 --> 00:32:00,130 and the endless movies that he could learn and read and, 807 00:32:00,130 --> 00:32:03,509 uh, watch and, uh, and enjoy and turn other 808 00:32:03,509 --> 00:32:04,176 people onto. 809 00:32:04,176 --> 00:32:06,053 Get himself gone. 810 00:32:06,053 --> 00:32:09,265 The films that he gets off on vary vastly. 811 00:32:09,265 --> 00:32:11,267 Everybody's after Kowalski 812 00:32:11,267 --> 00:32:13,936 He's passionate about Vanishing Point 813 00:32:13,936 --> 00:32:15,437 and that genre. 814 00:32:15,437 --> 00:32:19,984 And then Moeshe. 815 00:32:19,984 --> 00:32:21,944 He just loves the TV show Moesha. 816 00:32:21,944 --> 00:32:23,112 Moeshe. 817 00:32:23,112 --> 00:32:25,114 I would have never guessed that. 818 00:32:25,114 --> 00:32:27,366 And I- I think he's like that about all kinds of things. 819 00:32:27,366 --> 00:32:28,534 I think he's like that with food, 820 00:32:28,534 --> 00:32:32,121 like he loves amazingly high quality French dishes 821 00:32:32,121 --> 00:32:34,331 and he- he will smash a Pink's hotdog, 822 00:32:34,331 --> 00:32:36,875 you know, like I honestly, I think he's kind of like 823 00:32:36,875 --> 00:32:37,835 that with women. 824 00:32:37,835 --> 00:32:39,628 ..break my heart 825 00:32:39,628 --> 00:32:41,880 and make me sad. 826 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,425 Tell me what did I do wrong. 827 00:32:44,425 --> 00:32:46,010 He's sort of like, if he's in love with you 828 00:32:46,010 --> 00:32:47,219 and you're a big, black, 829 00:32:47,219 --> 00:32:49,054 curvy, gorgeous lady, he's all about big, 830 00:32:49,054 --> 00:32:49,930 black curves. 831 00:32:49,930 --> 00:32:51,432 (sings) My baby love... 832 00:32:52,308 --> 00:32:53,517 And if you're a waify, 833 00:32:53,517 --> 00:32:55,811 skinny little white model type and he's in love with you, 834 00:32:55,811 --> 00:32:58,147 he just thinks that's the hottest thing on the planet. 835 00:32:58,147 --> 00:32:59,940 He's just like an appreciator. 836 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,110 He knows everybody. 837 00:33:03,110 --> 00:33:06,238 And when he meets an actor from my era, 838 00:33:06,238 --> 00:33:07,948 the era when he was growin' up, 839 00:33:07,948 --> 00:33:12,494 he amazes them and amazed me by reminding me of this 840 00:33:12,494 --> 00:33:14,079 and that and things and moments 841 00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:16,498 and scenes that he remembers. 842 00:33:16,498 --> 00:33:20,628 He also built a way of sharing his vision with people. 843 00:33:20,628 --> 00:33:22,212 It wasn't storyboards. 844 00:33:22,212 --> 00:33:24,381 It was references. 845 00:33:24,381 --> 00:33:27,176 And so he'd say, 846 00:33:27,176 --> 00:33:29,928 "The warehouse looks like this." 847 00:33:29,928 --> 00:33:32,765 Or, "Look at this film for a reference for 848 00:33:32,765 --> 00:33:34,850 what I'm kind of trying to do here." 849 00:33:34,850 --> 00:33:36,810 When you're in rehearsal with him,... 850 00:33:36,810 --> 00:33:38,937 ...you're discussing those references, 851 00:33:38,937 --> 00:33:42,066 specifically, and he gives you stuff to watch. 852 00:33:42,066 --> 00:33:44,902 It's not something you come to 853 00:33:44,902 --> 00:33:46,737 lightly with him. 854 00:33:46,737 --> 00:33:48,030 It's not a rip-off 855 00:33:48,030 --> 00:33:50,658 that's just crap. 856 00:33:50,658 --> 00:33:52,576 And it's not even an homage. 857 00:33:54,161 --> 00:33:57,164 It's that he's using the tools of cinema to make 858 00:33:57,164 --> 00:33:59,249 more resonant and greater cinema. 859 00:33:59,958 --> 00:34:03,587 Quentin uses filmic vocabulary. 860 00:34:03,587 --> 00:34:05,339 If you look at great art, 861 00:34:05,339 --> 00:34:08,050 that's what musicians do, composers do, 862 00:34:08,050 --> 00:34:09,593 painters do, sculptors do. 863 00:34:09,593 --> 00:34:10,844 'Cause he always, you know, 864 00:34:12,513 --> 00:34:15,974 elevates everything and charges everything. 865 00:34:15,974 --> 00:34:19,478 The detective was the genre that I started with. 866 00:34:19,478 --> 00:34:22,940 Old cars, old clothes, old jokes, fast women, 867 00:34:22,940 --> 00:34:24,316 they all lied to me. 868 00:34:24,316 --> 00:34:26,568 The cynical, but human detective. 869 00:34:26,568 --> 00:34:29,071 Robert Forster as Banyon. 870 00:34:29,071 --> 00:34:30,906 One of the things Quentin does is incur 871 00:34:30,906 --> 00:34:32,449 talent all the time. 872 00:34:32,449 --> 00:34:33,617 I mean a lot of times people will 873 00:34:33,617 --> 00:34:35,744 resurrect old actors and they have them do 874 00:34:35,744 --> 00:34:36,662 what they always did. 875 00:34:36,662 --> 00:34:42,209 What Quentin always does is he pushes them further. 876 00:34:42,209 --> 00:34:43,836 He takes them to a new place. 877 00:34:45,421 --> 00:34:47,464 He gives them a different career. 878 00:34:47,464 --> 00:34:49,675 When my career was at the very bottom, 879 00:34:49,675 --> 00:34:51,051 in walks Quentin. 880 00:34:51,051 --> 00:34:54,096 He said, "I am adapting Rum Punch, 881 00:34:54,096 --> 00:34:57,141 an Elmore Leonard novel, to a movie." 882 00:34:57,141 --> 00:34:59,184 And I said to him, "I don't think they're gonna 883 00:34:59,184 --> 00:35:01,061 let you hire me." 884 00:35:01,061 --> 00:35:03,981 That period in my career, the distributors 885 00:35:03,981 --> 00:35:05,190 didn't want me. 886 00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:07,109 They wanted, you know, somebody with a bigger name. 887 00:35:07,109 --> 00:35:09,820 And he said, and I will never forget him for it, 888 00:35:09,820 --> 00:35:12,948 he said, "I hire anybody I want." 889 00:35:12,948 --> 00:35:15,909 And that is the first moment when I said, 890 00:35:15,909 --> 00:35:19,246 "Wow, Bob, this is a life-changer." 891 00:35:19,246 --> 00:35:21,582 All right, before we start talking about stewardesses, 892 00:35:21,582 --> 00:35:23,375 let's get Beaumont out of the way first. 893 00:35:23,375 --> 00:35:25,544 Uh,

I don't know. 1369 00:54:19,051 --> 00:54:20,803 All I heard was someone may have been puking 1370 00:54:20,803 --> 00:54:21,887 in a dumpster at eleven o'clock the next morning. 1371 00:54:24,140 --> 00:54:26,851 when I saw Death Proof, 1372 00:54:26,851 --> 00:54:29,145 in that scene 1373 00:54:29,145 --> 00:54:31,397 where the girls are sitting in the car 1374 00:54:31,397 --> 00:54:34,567 driving and talking, nothing happens. 1375 00:54:34,567 --> 00:54:39,947 They don't say anything that's really relevant to anything. 1376 00:54:39,947 --> 00:54:43,701 It goes on and it goes on and I think it goes on for 1377 00:54:43,701 --> 00:54:45,036 forty-five minutes, 1378 00:54:45,036 --> 00:54:48,831 and they are still driving and talking. 1379 00:54:48,831 --> 00:54:56,380 And I was so smitten by that moment that it really 1380 00:54:56,380 --> 00:55:01,802 clicked that- that yeah, despite all the 1381 00:55:01,802 --> 00:55:05,598 extraordinary entertainment that these 1382 00:55:05,598 --> 00:55:13,648 movies deliver, there is an allure and a suction 1383 00:55:13,648 --> 00:55:15,399 that pulls you in. 1384 00:55:17,068 --> 00:55:21,906 There is always that, this- this strength in it. 1385 00:55:21,906 --> 00:55:24,450 (sings) Where the hell are my keys? 1386 00:55:24,450 --> 00:55:25,368 Here they are. 1387 00:55:50,643 --> 00:55:53,562 I think Quentin's influence on film is twofold. 1388 00:55:53,562 --> 00:55:55,439 One is that he's empowered 1389 00:55:55,439 --> 00:55:57,233 a lot of half-ass filmmakers to make some 1390 00:55:57,233 --> 00:55:59,360 very bad films because they don't know 1391 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:00,861 how to watch his films. 1392 00:56:00,861 --> 00:56:02,321 They miss the poetry 1393 00:56:02,321 --> 00:56:05,783 and the elegance and the eloquence of his filmmaking. 1394 00:56:05,783 --> 00:56:07,702 And so they go and they- they had a lot of, 1395 00:56:07,702 --> 00:56:09,870 you know, bizarre violence and- and people 1396 00:56:09,870 --> 00:56:13,666 mistreating people and they miss his passionate humanism. 1397 00:56:13,666 --> 00:56:16,502 Inglourious Basterds, this is a film that teaches 1398 00:56:16,502 --> 00:56:19,338 filmmakers how to make movies because the opening 1399 00:56:19,338 --> 00:56:24,135 scene is literally Quentin saying to everybody, 1400 00:56:24,135 --> 00:56:25,720 "Oh, you think you know who I am, 1401 00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:27,221 and you think you know what I can do, 1402 00:56:27,221 --> 00:56:29,306 and you think you've seen a war movie before. 1403 00:56:29,306 --> 00:56:30,725 Well, I'm gonna mess with you 1404 00:56:30,725 --> 00:56:33,102 in a way you haven't even begun to think." 1405 00:56:35,479 --> 00:56:36,564 Papa! 1406 00:56:36,564 --> 00:56:37,815 That I'm in control. 1407 00:56:37,815 --> 00:56:39,692 Then you were in the palm of my hands 1408 00:56:39,692 --> 00:56:42,027 and you're on my trip. 1409 00:56:42,027 --> 00:56:43,904 The German general comes in. 1410 00:56:43,904 --> 00:56:46,532 You can't quite figure out why he's being so friendly. 1411 00:56:49,410 --> 00:56:51,620 And you don't know why are they so scared? 1412 00:56:54,957 --> 00:56:55,708 And then at a certain point, 1413 00:56:55,708 --> 00:56:57,793 Quentin takes you under the house. 1414 00:56:59,795 --> 00:57:02,089 And it's really a horrific moment. 1415 00:57:06,844 --> 00:57:08,763 You know, it's not Robert Wise with The Haunting 1416 00:57:08,763 --> 00:57:10,556 where he's freaking you out with camera angles. 1417 00:57:10,556 --> 00:57:13,058 It's not Toby Hooper's, uh, 1418 00:57:13,058 --> 00:57:14,185 Texas Chainsaw where 1419 00:57:14,185 --> 00:57:15,895 he's like shoving your face in it. 1420 00:57:15,895 --> 00:57:17,563 It's what's not happening. 1421 00:57:17,563 --> 00:57:20,357 A German soldier conducts a search of a house 1422 00:57:20,357 --> 00:57:22,902 suspected of hiding Jews. 1423 00:57:22,902 --> 00:57:24,403 Where does the hawk look? 1424 00:57:24,403 --> 00:57:25,571 He looks in the barn. 1425 00:57:25,571 --> 00:57:26,614 He looks in the attic. 1426 00:57:26,614 --> 00:57:27,782 He looks in the cellar. 1427 00:57:27,782 --> 00:57:31,285 He looks everywhere he would hide. 1428 00:57:31,285 --> 00:57:33,204 But there's so many places that wouldn't even have 1429 00:57:33,204 --> 00:57:35,414 occurred to a hawk to hide. 1430 00:57:35,414 --> 00:57:37,792 No, you're not turning a corner and suddenly having 1431 00:57:37,792 --> 00:57:38,793 a cat screech. 1432 00:57:38,793 --> 00:57:40,002 And you go, "Oh!" 1433 00:57:40,002 --> 00:57:41,003 It's not cutting. 1434 00:57:41,003 --> 00:57:44,131 It's all intellectual and it's all unbearable. 1435 00:57:45,341 --> 00:57:47,426 Point out to me the areas where they're hiding. 1436 00:58:07,029 --> 00:58:09,573 The dialogue is, 1437 00:58:09,573 --> 00:58:10,991 so to say, 1438 00:58:10,991 --> 00:58:13,160 the tiny tip of the iceberg. 1439 00:58:14,537 --> 00:58:15,996 It's a clue. 1440 00:58:20,626 --> 00:58:23,546 I thank you for your time. 1441 00:58:26,006 --> 00:58:28,050 We shan't be bothering your family any longer. 1442 00:58:29,009 --> 00:58:31,929 So Quentin, in his dialogue, 1443 00:58:31,929 --> 00:58:35,724 doesn't tell you how to say it, 1444 00:58:35,724 --> 00:58:39,395 but he gives you like a whole abundance 1445 00:58:39,395 --> 00:58:41,897 of elements of what to say. 1446 00:58:41,897 --> 00:58:43,023 ...adieu. 1447 00:58:46,652 --> 00:58:51,407 You derive fun from trying to figure that out. 1448 00:58:51,407 --> 00:58:53,534 That's it. 1449 00:58:53,534 --> 00:58:55,911 (chuckles) And Quentin starts there and then he 1450 00:58:55,911 --> 00:58:57,872 goes and messes in doing almost every other way he 1451 00:58:57,872 --> 00:59:00,207 can in terms of what a war film does. 1452 00:59:00,207 --> 00:59:03,961 (pants) (speaks French) 1453 00:59:03,961 --> 00:59:04,503 I remember the 1454 00:59:04,503 --> 00:59:06,088 first rehearsal from Inglourious Basterds. 1455 00:59:06,088 --> 00:59:08,090 We all sat around and everybody had our scripts 1456 00:59:08,090 --> 00:59:08,632 and we had our lines. 1457 00:59:08,632 --> 00:59:10,217 Quentin's like close your scripts. 1458 00:59:10,217 --> 00:59:11,844 And he's like, who are you? 1459 00:59:11,844 --> 00:59:13,262 And I was

like, "Well, how did you feel 1463 00:59:17,892 --> 00:59:19,351 when he joined the Basterds? 1464 00:59:19,351 --> 00:59:19,852 What did you think about 1465 00:59:19,852 --> 00:59:21,520 Stiglitz coming into the Basterds?" 1466 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,272 Everybody had to have their answers ready. 1467 00:59:23,272 --> 00:59:25,524 And there was one person who didn't. 1468 00:59:25,524 -->

00:59:58,182 --> 01:00:00,184 Quentin just gave me the most heroic... 1482 01:00:00,184 --> 01:00:03,687 The one they call "The Bear Jew"... 1483 01:00:03,687 --> 01:00:05,230 ...is a Golem! 1484

1487 01:00:09,652 --> 01:00:11,236 And, you know, I was gonna come out of this tunnel. 1488 01:00:11,236 --> 01:00:12,696 Quentin was like, "I got the best tunnel. 1489 01:00:12,696 --> 01:00:13,739 You're gonna be tapping with a bat and 1490 01:00:13,739 --> 01:00:14,865 you're gonna come out." 1491 01:00:14,865 --> 01:00:17,117 Well, I got some weights and we set up a punching bag, 1492 01:00:17,117 --> 01:00:19,203 so that Brad was doing the whole scene 1493 01:00:19,203 --> 01:00:21,580 and I was in the back and I was like lifting weights 1494 01:00:21,580 --> 01:00:23,374 and doing pull-ups, like, I wanted to be ready like- 1495 01:00:23,374 --> 01:00:24,124 like an animal. 1496 01:00:24,124 --> 01:00:25,542 And Quentin was like, all right, 1497 01:00:25,542 --> 01:00:26,335 we're gettin' to you after lunch. 1498 01:00:26,335 --> 01:00:26,418 We're gettin' to you. 1499 01:00:26,418 --> 01:00:27,378 And then by the end, he's like, 1500 01:00:27,378 --> 01:00:28,379 we're gonna do you next, so be ready, ready. 1501 01:00:28,379 --> 01:00:30,339 And he was like, well, that's a wrap. 1502 01:00:30,339 --> 01:00:30,965 And I was like (grunt). 1503 01:00:30,965 --> 01:00:32,341 And I would, like, sit there at the end of day 1504 01:00:32,341 --> 01:00:35,552 and like (groan) like getting all made up and ready, 1505 01:00:35,552 --> 01:00:36,929 pumped up, ready to go, 1506 01:00:36,929 --> 01:00:38,389 and then it would be like the night at the gym and 1507 01:00:38,389 --> 01:00:40,391 in the morning the gym, and then ready for it. 1508 01:00:40,391 --> 01:00:43,394 And Quentin did that to me for about four or five days. 1509 01:00:43,394 --> 01:00:46,230 He finally, and he just like had me like a caged animal. 1510 01:00:46,230 --> 01:00:47,815 He was, of course, doing it on purpose. 1511 01:00:54,196 --> 01:00:55,739 And when I came out with that bat, 1512 01:00:55,739 --> 01:00:57,825 I was so, so ready. 1513 01:00:57,825 --> 01:01:00,285 And then I just started wailing on that dummy. 1514 01:01:00,285 --> 01:01:02,621 (grunts) I'm going completely crazy. 1515 01:01:02,621 --> 01:01:04,123 I mean I think I lost my voice 1516 01:01:04,123 --> 01:01:05,708 for a couple days after that. 1517 01:01:08,502 --> 01:01:10,963 I know that Quentin really wanted, 1518 01:01:10,963 --> 01:01:15,426 um, authentic, um, actors to be really German, 1519 01:01:15,426 --> 01:01:16,677 to be really French. 1520 01:01:16,677 --> 01:01:18,804 Um, he spent months and months and months in 1521 01:01:18,804 --> 01:01:20,556 Germany trying to find the right people, 1522 01:01:20,556 --> 01:01:23,434 especially for Christoph Waltz's character. 1523 01:01:28,647 --> 01:01:31,025 And I know that he had said himself, 1524 01:01:31,025 --> 01:01:32,860 that if he wouldn't have found Christoph, 1525 01:01:32,860 --> 01:01:34,945 he wouldn't have been able to make this film. 1526 01:01:44,663 --> 01:01:47,291 Quentin was very secretive about, 1527 01:01:47,291 --> 01:01:49,001 uh, Christoph's character. 1528 01:01:49,001 --> 01:01:51,253 Uh, even at the read-throughs we didn't 1529 01:01:51,253 --> 01:01:54,298 get to really see his performance. 1530 01:01:59,303 --> 01:02:00,846 In the theatre when Christoph comes in 1531 01:02:00,846 --> 01:02:03,724 and confronts Bridget, 1532 01:02:03,724 --> 01:02:05,893 we never rehearsed that scene, 1533 01:02:05,893 --> 01:02:08,562 so it was a complete surprise to me when 1534 01:02:08,562 --> 01:02:11,732 he started going crazy on the laugh and- and the way he 1535 01:02:11,732 --> 01:02:12,649 did that scene. 1536 01:02:17,154 --> 01:02:30,292 (laughs) And I think it kind of shows in my face. 1537 01:02:30,292 --> 01:02:32,127 Christoph just found this character. 1538 01:02:32,127 --> 01:02:35,839 He had a really specific idea of how he wanted to 1539 01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:39,551 play it and together with Quentin they just had this 1540 01:02:39,551 --> 01:02:43,222 great bond and it got bigger and bigger and bigger. 1541 01:02:43,222 --> 01:02:47,101 There is definitely an exuberance about the 1542 01:02:47,101 --> 01:02:49,353 medium that he spreads. 1543 01:02:49,353 --> 01:02:53,732 And there is no, no inoculation against this bug. 1544 01:02:53,732 --> 01:02:56,443 You get infected whether you want to or not. 1545 01:02:56,443 --> 01:02:59,863 (laughs) Well, I don't know whether you want to 1546 01:02:59,863 --> 01:03:02,116 or not, because that's part of the, 1547 01:03:02,116 --> 01:03:06,495 part of the infection that you do want to get infected. 1548 01:03:06,495 --> 01:03:08,330 It's like going to a whore house to 1549 01:03:08,330 --> 01:03:10,916 get infected with the syphilis. 1550 01:03:10,916 --> 01:03:13,127 I've never been killed on film, 1551 01:03:13,127 --> 01:03:15,420 so as the day approached, I was getting more and more 1552 01:03:15,420 --> 01:03:17,089 nervous about it. 1553 01:03:17,089 --> 01:03:19,883 I'm in my trailer and Quentin comes in and he goes, 1554 01:03:19,883 --> 01:03:22,136 "Well, I don't really trust Christoph to 1555 01:03:22,136 --> 01:03:24,555 kill you, so I'm gonna do it myself." 1556 01:03:24,555 --> 01:03:26,557 And he was like, "Well, look at this. 1557 01:03:26,557 --> 01:03:30,936 They cut off SS sleeves that fit me and I'm gonna 1558 01:03:30,936 --> 01:03:33,730 put them on and then I'm just gonna be on top of 1559 01:03:33,730 --> 01:03:34,857 you and I'm gonna be strangling you, 1560 01:03:34,857 --> 01:03:37,109 and it's gonna be great." 1561 01:03:37,109 --> 01:03:38,068 I was like, " Oh, oh. 1562 01:03:38,068 --> 01:03:38,902 Yeah, that's great. 1563 01:03:38,902 --> 01:03:39,570 Sure. 1564 01:03:39,570 --> 01:03:40,404 Fair enough. 1565 01:03:40,404 --> 01:03:40,821 Why not?" 1566 01:03:40,821 --> 01:03:43,115 And- and now I'm really panicking. 1567 01:03:43,115 --> 01:03:46,160 And so we know we do the stunt and like I'm finally 1568 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,413 on the ground and I just have this to the end of 1569 01:03:49,413 --> 01:03:52,958 my life vision of Quentin, who by all means is three 1570 01:03:52,958 --> 01:03:56,712 times Christoph's size and his hands are three times 1571 01:03:56,712 --> 01:03:59,131 Christoph's hands on top of me, 1572 01:03:59,131 --> 01:04:01,633 you know, with put-on sleeves that are three 1573 01:04:01,633 --> 01:04:04,303 sizes too small for him strangling me. 1574 01:04:04,303 --> 01:04:07,473 And I was just like, well, at least if I die, 1575 01:04:07,473 --> 01:04:09,892 it's Quentin Tarantino who killed me today. 1576 01:04:09,892 --> 01:04:10,893 Ooh! 1577 01:04:10,893 --> 01:04:17,649 (gasps) I guess he really gets in there. 1578 01:04:17,649 --> 01:04:19,109 Quentin is very hands-on. 1579 01:04:19,109 --> 01:04:20,569 He sits next to camera. 1580 01:04:20,569 --> 01:04:22,905 Usually directors sit at video village, 1581 01:04:22,905 --> 01:04:24,406 sometimes in a different room. 1582 01:04:24,406 --> 01:04:26,575 You feel like he's involved, 1583 01:04:26,575 --> 01:04:29,119 he's there, he's kind of holding your hand a little bit. 1584 01:04:29,119 --> 01:04:33,123 At the end of the day, you feel like he sees everything. 1585 01:04:33,123 --> 01:04:35,834 He laughs when there's like a joke in the scene. 1586 01:04:35,834 --> 01:04:37,961 He's always like-- Sometimes you have to cut 1587 01:04:37,961 --> 01:04:39,421 because we can hear Quentin laughing. 1588 01:04:39,421 --> 01:04:40,839 It's- It's pretty
