"When people ask me if I went to film school, I tell them no, I went to films" Quentin Tarantino "mediocre writers borrow; great writers steal" T.S.Elliot "I don't invent, I steal" Ingmar Bergman Tarantino is thought of, by many, as the king, the archetype of 'borrowed' movie making due to his extensive use of popular cultural references. His new movie  Django Unchained  may be labelled his utmost intertextual enterprise. His most ecstatic visual 'text'. It is not a recycle or a remake, I must hasten to assert. * A single frame. A fleeting glimpse had me searching the web. Ok. what search terms should I use? The most unused, I guessed. Image Bloodied Cotton. Got it. Amazing to find someone with identical pursuits. But, maybe different purposes. "The (...) shot of blood spray hitting blooms of cotton is going to be remembered for a long time." Wrote blogger Fiero Fredo Thanks Fredo. Watch the movie shot ...

The Movie It appears that there is no point in praising a movie that was meant to look like some cheap movies that were made in the seventies unless this new movie will disprove the cheapness of those movies and make us love them and live happily ever after! Yeah, it just appears! Quentin Tarantino Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez decide to make two movies to be shown back to back in one program and even put them under the title Grindhouse- a term used to describe theaters that showed low-budget, low-quality movie genres in the seventies.

Just like the way popular genres of movies were made and shown to the audience, sometimes with a whole reel missing! Apparently the two filmmakers had no other intentions for their double-movie production! It wasn't like a project or anything big! Rodriguez even once said about cheap movie genres...

 Steve McQueen A Bullitt To Chase Tweet I was watching some car chase scenes from Quinten Tarantino's movie 'Death Proof' when I noticed the caption written below the clip by the person who uploaded it. He wrote: Trailer of 'Deathproof'  by Quentin Tarantino, starring Kurt Russel and some awesome cars. Russel and the cars! It did not matter to him to even mention Zoe Bell, a stuntwoman by profession who was in the movie . This is one after-effect of the traumatic exposure to 'reality in the movie'. We seem to accept when someone describes cars in a movie as stars. It is not anymore an exageration to glorify or even humanise objects. On another note, I stopped reading an article the other day and went to look through the glass window to what was happening outside, which was... nothing! I was reading about another less excessively constructed car chase than Tarantino's. In his 1968 movie 'Bullitt' director Robert Yates gave cinema...
