Speaking of Quentin Tarantino, the industry calls him a genius and fans call him a master. For movie fans, whether they praise or criticize him, like or dislike him, this is a name that cannot be avoided. More fans will be impressed by Quentin's clear likes and dislikes and his uncompromising views, or they will talk about the wild imagination and violent aesthetics in his works with relish.

How all this was created and how Quentin's growth and creation were influenced, we should be able to find clues in this book "Movie Fantasy" - Quentin actually announced many years ago that he would write a book about movies, and he mentioned it in many interviews, which was actually referring to this book "Movie Fantasy".


In the book, Quentin shared how he became involved in movies, and then he shared several classic Hollywood movies from the 1960s and 1970s (Quentin was born in 1963, and the movies shared in the book covered his entire childhood). This is not only his personal treasure list of movies, but his evaluation of these movies also reflects his attitude and philosophy towards creation.

In fact, from the perspective of professional directors, perhaps the movies we are already familiar with can often give us different content, and even open up a whole new world for us (the "Interviews with Ang Lee" we recommended last week also has this flavor), not to mention the sharp and profound Quentin. And these movies also record from one side the whole process of Quentin's enlightenment from film to the construction of his own aesthetic world.


The book also includes some interesting experiences and stories behind Quentin's personal growth, such as the film "Rolling Thunder" directed by John Flynn, which touched Quentin and inspired him to write a film review for the first time (thus opening the way for a film critic). For Quentin's fans, there will be a lot of content and stories in the book, which will take everyone to know a more complete and vivid Quentin.
