Quentin Tarantino is one of the defenders of cinema as an experience, but that does not mean that he does not have problems with the industry. In fact, there are decades that he had already roundly criticized as asome of the worst eras in movie history. And judging by his latest comments, we are in one of them.
The worst moments in movie history
In a recent episode of The Video Archives Podcast hosted by himself and Roger Avary, in which they discussed the 1983 film ‘Star 80’, Quentin Tarantino took the time not only to criticize the 1980s and 1950s in terms of film production, but also the current era.
“Although the ’80s was the time when I probably saw more movies in my life than ever before, at least as far as going to the movies goes, I think ’80s cinema is, along with the ’50s, the worst era in Hollywood history. Matched only for now, or matched by the current era!”
With the current era it is more than possible that he refers to the wave of superhero movies, which Tarantino has gone on record as any “mercenary for hire” could run. Still, Tarantino claimed
“On stages with so much junk film they give an advantage to those who don’t fit in, the ones who stand out from the rest.”
of these words it cannot be concluded that Quentin Tarantino hates all the films that are releasedFor example, he enjoyed some recent horrors, such as “Underwater Hell” and “Doctor Sleep.” he loved Steven Spielberg’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘West Side Story’, and said that
“They offer a true cinematic extravaganza, the kind I almost thought I wasn’t going to see anymore. It was fantastic.”
