My movie doesn’t have anything else to do with that one. I like that film, don’t get me wrong, but I bought the rights because of the title. THR: And of course your film also is inspired by an Italian film from Enzo Castellari of 30 years ago that has the same title. Doctorow treated “Ragtime.” I’m taking a historical time and putting in my own ideas and characters. War movies don’t always have to show things from the perspective of the victim. But in the ’40s and ’50s people made movies that were thrilling and exciting. And I don’t mean to say I’m pro-war, because I’m not. Tarantino: In the last 20 years, we’ve seen a lot of movies that show war from the anti-war, misery perspective. THR: War movies, especially World War II movies, have been everywhere the last few years, and there are skeptics who hear about this film and say “Why do we need another one?” What do you say to them? It’s probably the closest thing I’ve ever done to “Pulp Fiction.” But it’s got the mix of dialogue with the action. It just means there’s a good, steady pacing. That doesn’t mean it’s a big action movie. Tarantino: It’s a no-fucking-around kind of pacing. Is that a fair characterization of the finished film? THR: From the trailer, it looks like you went pretty heavy on the action. I’ll be honest - I enjoyed making this movie a little less because of that. But you can’t relax because you have to do it again the next day, and the day after that, and that’s what your life is like for months. Tarantino: At the end of the day, you’re driving from the studio to your hotel, and you think it’s nice that you finished a scene on time. THR: Doing it this way also adds an element of stress, doesn’t it? I look at “Death Proof” and realize I had too much time. When you do that, there’s going to be more energy on the screen. But there’s something to be said for not doing that, for knowing that you have three days to shoot a scene and you can’t roll over. You can take a lot more time to do a scene, and every director wants that. Quentin Tarantino: When you’re a director in my situation, things become a little easier. Did this feel like it moved really quickly, maybe even too quickly? The Hollywood Reporter: It’s funny to be here talking about this movie - it was only a year ago that you first announced you were writing the script.
