I appreciate that the subtitles didn't even ATTEMPT to write out that word in Hebrew 😂

The way that Tarantino talks about De Palma is how De Palma talked about Hitchcock

For anyone wondering what the Hays Code is like I was,

“The Hays Code was this self-imposed industry set of guidelines for all the motion pictures that were released between 1934 and 1968, ” says O'Brien. “The code prohibited profanity, suggestive nudity, graphic or realistic violence, sexual persuasions and rape."

The "Man from the South" episode from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" inspired a scene in QT's "The Man from Hollywood" segment from "Four Rooms" in 1995

[kenwinger]

This is one of the few times while I have no arguments with his professional opinion Hitchcock was definitely limited by his time and he was around today he would make things that make most of us vomit and piss

[CreepyNoodlesK]

I totally thought he was going to mention the end of North by Northwest, where he was told to edit the end of the film cause to unmarried characters got in bed together in a room on a train. He changed the ending to them kissing, then the woman being thrown down on the bed. and the lights cutting off, and then cut to a train tunnel, that after a few seconds, a very round train only slightly smaller than the tunnel, penetrates the opening of the tunnel at high speed.

So what he's saying is, he likes hitchcock but the fact that the hays code was involved hindered the content too much for his liking and ruined it for him

[tcehaus]

I think its funny cos he loves Depalma and hes the most Hitchcockian director ever.

[TheFredismShow]

I like “North By Northwest.” The dust cropper scene is intense!

[RedEyePergo]

I love Alfred Hitchcock Presents . Dude was legit funny af in his monologues at the beginning and end of each episode

[by.parker]

Everyone remember it’s just an opinion, he never insults Hitchcock whatsoever 😅

[asappacsun]

Not him calling the father of film “a clever little bugger”

[taebby]

He's right about Hitchcock being limited, but even more than the Hays code. I was on a tour of Paramount, and they showed us where Hitchcock cut a massive hole in the floor of one of the stages, when he was told not to, but he wanted to get a certain shot of traffic. The studio then put him in a certain office in order to keep an eye him.

[JT-rxeo]

Hitchcock is far, far, far, far, far, far greater than Tarantino could ever dream of being.

[Alex-frxb]

Here is where I disagree with QT. He needs to understand that Hitchcock who was limited by the Hays Code was also the most influential filmmaker that the directors who QT loves ALL got their inspiration and understanding of cinema from. Without Hitchcock there would not be that next generation of filmmakers that QT grew up with and subsequently shaped him.

Strangers on a Train! Favourite Hitchcock movie, still holds up

[mrmhj]

Thing that’s different about Hitchcock is, he builds suspense. Each moment something brewing, and it’s a bad omen. So when it lands, it feels way more impactful.

I mean come on, Psycho, The Birds, Vertigo, Rear Window. They all have great third acts. Their probably some of his most best films ever made.

[nellyboi]

Tarantino absolutely worships the 70s lol

[Valkonnen]

I can plainly see why Tarantino would not hold Htchcock in high regard. Hitchcock was 90% Visual and 10% screenplay. For Tarantino it is the other way around. His films have cool visuals of course, but Hitchcock had a formula. Hitchcokc nver looked through the viewfinder on any of his films. He knew precisely what was in the frame of every shot.
