Christopher Nolan vs Quentin Tarantino ( Kill/Save)

[batman1]

LMAO at all the Nolan fan boys in here. This isn't even close.

That spielberg/scorsese poll though, man.....

I haven't kept track but is it mostly Nolan? And if so why the hate?

 

[green]

This was easy. Tarantino.

 

[CYounkin]

It's definitely Tarantino, just because I think he's established himself more as a strong writer of character, dialogue, and provocative topics. Plus he seems to respect a lot of different genres and try his hand at all of them.

Nolan is very good as sci-fi but you have to admit that after a point, his movies seem like they get too smart even for him to really control (the third act of Interstellar).

Plus yeah, very few people have a Pulp Fiction on their resume.

One could make the same comment about "Tarantino fanboys".

 

[Black Narcissus]

We have a tie. Heh.

I have to go with Tarantino, though it's incredibly close.

I love all of his movies, but the dialogue and characters are so amazing. You really feel for the characters when they die and it hits you. The Nolan movies are great, but I didn't get that feeling too much, besides for Rachel in TDK.

Pulp Fiction is definitely my favorite, but I love Inglorious Bastards and it's right behind. Jackie Brown and Death Proof are underrated IMO as well.

Meh, don't care for any of Tarantino's characters. I just want the violence. Could careless who dies and who doesn't for the most part.

Yeah, Nolan's movies are too cold, they're mor concerned with ideas rather than stories about people.

I always hear this, but i must be watching his films the right way? t:

I felt feelings and stuff with Inception, Memento, Prestige.

 

[kedrell]

Quentin Tarantino. That was fairly easy for me.

Pulp Fiction. Yep.

Same here. This was extremely easy for me. Not really a Nolan fan. Some of his are good and some are rubbish. Tarantino only really truly fumbled with Deathproof(he considers it his weakest film also).

 

[Warhammer]

Nolan is my #4 favorite after Fincher and Spielberg.

My #1? Tarantino.

 

[Parker Wayne]

Tarantino for me. It was tough, and it all depends on preference obviously, but for me I just enjoy Tarantino's movies as a whole more than Nolan's. Tarantino's a director that knows how to have fun with his movies (though he does have some problems with pacing and his dialogue at times you can take it or leave). I am a fan of Nolan also, because he is an excellent director who is probably the best putting together a very polished product.

But yeah, the difference with me is that Tarantino's characters in his movie feels more real and because of that, his movies feel more fun and alive (I'm trying to say this stuff without taking down Nolan too much, but that's been my biggest problem with Nolan for years). Both have some issues in terms of dialogue (Nolan tends to be too on the nose and Tarantino tends to be, for lack of a better word, slightly dickish).

So by, "one is forever erased from history," do you mean they never make any more movies than they've already made or them and their entire filmography is erased forever?

Don't forget that scene in Interstellar where McConaughey breaks down. That was emotional as ****.

 

[Black Narcissus]

This has been really close. Goddamn.

 

[Schlosser85]

I "feel" more in Inception and Interstellar than I do in most Tarantino movies, so different strokes for different folks, I guess.

There's no reason to be stupid with "fanboy" jabs.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Have at it, maynes.

Saving Tarantino. And Idgaf

I feel like the term "fanboy" gets thrown around the internet too frequently. Everyone is suddenly a fanboy if they don't have the same taste in art as you do. It gets tiresome.

 

[Drz]

Tarantino!

 

[souvlaki]

This was hard. I went with Nolan simply because I find his films more rewatchable, but neither in my opinion has made a bad film. Them and Fincher are definitely my favorite modern day directors.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Not a hard choice. The opposite in fact. Nolan is not the second coming of Kubrick because he made two decent Batman films. Jeezus.

 

[Steamteck]

Not a huge Nolan fan but him over Tarantino in a heartbeat. I guess I just don't get it but Tarantino always seemed like a B movie director writer who everyone pretended was a AAA director. Even when he a parodies something, it often seems like he doesn't understand the source material to me.

Exactly. yes Inglorious Basterds is a fun film but this is no Goodfellas, Schindler's List and what not. I forget what his current thing parodies or is influenced by but I'm pretty sure most people won't get it or know it.
