Quentin Tarantino’s favorite camera angle — looking up at the actors.

Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds.
“I steal from every movie ever made.”
My favorite Tarantino movie, and the Tarantino movie hardly anyone has seen. Made from Elmore Leonard’s Rum Punch. Amazing soundtrack. (You can get it on vinyl for $8!) Great cast. Chicks with guns! You must see this.

SECRETS OF ‘PULP FICTION’ by Roger Ebert
For four days we sat in the dark, tiptoeing through “Pulp Fiction” one scene at a time, using a laserdisc machine so you could freeze a frame or slowly creep through the movie. There were about 300 of us, and democracy ruled: Anybody could make an observation, and we’d stop and discuss it. Our mission: to take a VERY close look at this labyrinthine film.
Of course there are people who intensely dislike “Pulp Fiction.” It is possibly the most unpopular movie ever to gross $100 million at the American box office. I’ve received mail from those who hate the movie. They say it is too violent, too graphic, too obscene, or “makes no sense.” Many say they walked out after 20, 30 or 60 minutes. (Given its circular time line, of course it made no sense to them; this is literally a movie where you have to wait until you can say, “This is where we came in.”)
“My parents said, Oh, he’s going to be a director someday. I wanted to be an actor.”

“I like the idea that you contemplate why Brad Pitt’s character has a rope burn around his neck, somebody else contemplates why there’s a rope burn there and somebody else does, and now three different people come up with three different reasons why there’s a rope burn there, well that’s now three different movies that you all saw. I like that idea. I like the idea that you open the briefcase in Pulp Fiction and I don’t tell you what’s in there, but it’s up to you to figure out what’s in there and then it’s your movie. You’ll make that decision somewhere down the line. Now if I tell what it is at this table, you’ll throw it away, and I don’t want you to throw it away. That’s your movie.”
