Quentin Tarantino – Inglorious Basterd

Quentin Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tenn. in 1963 but grew up in California. He is of Italian, Irish and Cherokee Indian heritage. While in junior high school Quentin Tarantino dropped out of school to take up acting but later realized he would rather be a movie director than actor.

In 1987 while working as a clerk at the video store Video Archives, Tarantino wrote and sold two scripts; both would be made into movies, True Romance in 1993 and Natural Born Killers in 1994. From these scripts, Quentin Tarantino was able to finance the production of his next movie, Reservoir Dogs, in which he wrote the screenplay, directed and acted.

In 1992 Tarantino introduced Reservoir Dogs at the Sundance Film festival. It was a huge hit. With Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino established his movie style and the small budget over-the-top crime put him on the up-and-coming list for entertainment writers and magazines. Of Reservoir Dogs, The New York Times reported, “Mr. Tarantino not only can write superb dialogue, but he also has a firm grasp of narrative construction.”

In 1993 True Romance released; but it was 1994’s Pulp Fiction, in which Tarantino wrote and directed that was his break-out success. Rolling Stone magazine said of the movie, “Pulp Fiction is ferocious fun without a trace of caution, complacency or political correctness to inhibit its 154 deliciously lurid minutes.”

After Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino released Jackie Brown, which paid homage to the blaxploitation movies of the 1970s, in 1997. And then in 2003 and 2004 Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. He followed the success of the Kill Bill movies with Death Proof in 2007. Pulp Fiction won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Tarantino’s summer 2009 movie, Inglorious Basterds is a World War II epic, the story of a group of U.S. guerrilla soldiers in Nazi-occupied France. The movie’s opening weekend proved to be the best of Quentin Tarantino’s career. USA Today reported the movie raked in $ 37.6 million, according to box office tracking firm Nielsen EDI. The stellar opening beats 2004’s “Kill Bill Volume 2,” which debut’s earned $ 25.1 million. “Inglorious Basterds” stars stars Brad Pitt, Eli Roth and Diane Kruger and so far has garnered generally good reviews.

Entertainment industry giving partial credit for the movie’s success to the promotional efforts by Tarantino and Brad Pitt; their movie promotional efforts have gone far beyond the Quentin Tarantino’s fan base. Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and others involved in the movie have appeared on a wide variety of magazines including Wired magazine, The New York Times magazine and women’s magazines like Glamour magazine.

The strategy paid off according to USA Today, as Inglorious Basterds attracted an audience that was 42% female – high for a Tarantino movie. Of Inglorious Basterds, Entertainment Weekly magazine reported, “Few young-to-middle-aged American filmmakers have the nerd-centric depth of movie knowledge and technique that Tarantino brings to his high-flying projects, and fewer still have the confidence to simultaneously glorify and deconstruct genre as he can, whether the genre is blaxploitation, Hong Kong action, ’70s grindhouse fare, or, in this case, war movies and ’40s noir.”

Question by Bballer: Am I on the right track to getting into these various colleges?
I am a sophomore in high school and I want to go into film and communications/broadcasting. My goal is to direct, but I greatly enjoy all aspects of TV/movie production, and am also into broadcasting in general. I want to double in film and communications/ media (whichever the school offers).

My top choice right now is Vassar College. But I’m also looking at Tisch School of Arts at NYU, Syracuse, American University, Drexel, Columbia, etc. (all on the east coast).

I take all honors classes, and will take AP. My GPA is a 3.7 (4.1 weighted). These are my extra activities:

-3 years so far as a student council representative
-literary magazine
-yearbook (4 years so far)
-radio club and sportscasts (to continue throughout high school)
-fall drama
-volunteering for autism extensively
-produce for local cable TV
-filmmaking camps at universities
-the school newspaper
-play drums and guitar

I have more, but I’m only a sophomore, so this is for now. Do you think I’m on the right track for these colleges, especially Vassar? I really want to go to Vassar.

AAAAAH, THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Answer by roaringmice
Keep going they way you’re going, and I think you will be a good candidate for Vassar.

NYU has one of the top film schools in the world. Just FYI. The Tisch school is the elite of the elite. You may want to give them a serious look. Syracuse is also extremely well respected in your field, so that’s a good choice for your list.

I think Drexel will be a safety school for you.

Other top level film schools on the east coast, which you may want to have a look at, include: UNC Chapel Hill, and Florida State. Those may be too far south for you, but if not, they’re top 10 in your major.
