Back in the day TCM was doing their feature The Essentials w/co-host Rose McGowan. The movie was Akira Kurosawa's 7 Samurai and Robert Osborne went into detail on why it was significant. McGowan followed him by saying she didn't like Kurosawa, but she recognized his importance "as an influence on Tarantino".


I remember seeing some of the interviews with her the week that she was cohosting, but I didn't catch that one.

In a lot of the ones that I saw with her, she seemed to have a genuine love of classic movies. It seems like this was not long after she split with MM, so I was kind of surprised that she wasn't just on there to talk about films like The Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby.

it was Fords acknowledgment of the mythos of the old West that the stories he was famous for telling weren't history but the tales that we tell ourselves.
But also that the heroes we create are still heroes and we need heros



I haven't seen the entire series but I can remember watching the Five Came Back series on Netflix awhile back and being really glad to see that directors like Spielberg and Scorsese hold him in such high regard.

Tarantino has made several comments over the years (80s was the most repressive decade for films...wtf?) that sound pretty ridiculous. Add this one to the list. If Ford made Kung Fu flicks, he'd probably be his biggest fan.
