I mean, of course King Kong is a metaphor for the slave trade. I'm not saying the makers of King Kong meant it to be that way, but that's what, that's the movie that they made - whether they meant to make it or not.

More quotes by Quentin Tarantino
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
Quentin Tarantino
What I would do is I would just remember the scene and I'd go home and I'd write out the scene from memory. And anything I didn't remember I would just fill in the blanks myself and then go and give it to a classmate and then we'd do it.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't believe in putting in music as a band aid to get you over some rough parts or bad film making. If it's there it's got to add to it or take it to another level.
Quentin Tarantino
I didnt go to film school, i went to films
Quentin Tarantino
To me, truth is the big thing. Constantly you're writing something and you get to a place where your characters could go this way or that and I just can't lie. The characters have gotta be true to themselves.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't want to deal with the underneath while I'm, you know, while I'm making it or while I'm writing it or when I'm making it. Because again, I don't want to hit these nails on the head too strongly.
Quentin Tarantino
I want to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my talent. I want to really test it out and say: O.K., you're not that good. You just reached the level here. I don't ever want to fail, but I want to risk failure every time out of the gate.
Quentin Tarantino
I was kind of excited about going to jail the first time and I learnt some great dialogue.
Quentin Tarantino
I cannot get myself interested in video games. I've been given video game players and they just sit there connected to my TVs gathering dust until eventually I unplug them so I can put in another special-region DVD player.
Quentin Tarantino
I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.
Quentin Tarantino
ou know, if you want to see jackbooting Nazis in movies, you've got to watch American movies made at that time.
Quentin Tarantino
I definitely have some colleagues that I respect, and we get together from time to time. But I actually have just like genuine friends.
Quentin Tarantino
One of the things about writing a novel is you can do it any way you want. It's your voice that's important and I see absolutely no reason why a screenplay can't be the same. It makes it a hell of a lot easier when you're the writer and the director.
Quentin Tarantino
I was trying to do like a spaghetti western but using World War II iconography.
Quentin Tarantino
I've always said Thomas Edison invented the movie camera to show people killing and kissing.
Quentin Tarantino
Sure, Kill Bill is a violent movie. But it's a Tarantino movie. You don't go to see Metallica and ask the fuckers to turn the music down.
Quentin Tarantino
Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Quentin Tarantino
Well, it's funny because, The Green Leaves of Summer and The Alamo theme are the same thing. There's just - the Brothers Four was a different recording of it.
Quentin Tarantino
I don’t want to be an old-man filmmaker, making old-man movies, and I don’t want to be the one not to know when to leave the party.
Quentin Tarantino
I hate The Confederate cause. I've always felt that they are our Nazis and the rebel flag was our swastika.
