Tarantino is one of the all-time great directors who has a distinctive style that is oft imitated, but never very well. Very few guys changed cinema, but he's one of them.


Isn't this contradictory? If no one else has done what he's done, then how can you say he's changed cinema. Sounds like you're saying he's a one-off, singular talent (I disagree) whom no one else has been able to successfully replicate.

no, because he opened the door for independent cinema to take over the mainstream, and actual god directors with their own voices did swoop into the breech. Bad directors simply tried to copy his formula, not realizing there is no formula, and that's not the important part.

There's a huge difference between those influences by QT (nearly everyone in his wake) and the hacks who simply tried to ape his style with none of the craft.
