He has moments of Directing genius though. Especially in Pulp Fiction, RD, and Kill Bill.
Pulp Fiction, sticking the camera in the trunk. Leaving it at the door while they go off and talk about Uma because they're a few minutes early. Etc..etc.. He's a Directing genius when he spends years thinking about his shots imo. Too many to mention in RDogs. But yeah, no argument here on writing. He's among the best of his generation.

As far as I know he didn't direct any of it, he was originaly going to but wanted to focus on the writing and its really the only movie he has been a principal actor in. I am sure he had his input in many of these scenes however and there are references to the earlier films he had done. Anyways I don't know why people split up Kill Bill, its just one movie.
Jackie Brown is probably his best written movie that he directed, else that honor goes to True Romance, but its not the best movie he has done that is probably Pulp but there really isn't a bad way to list his movies its mostly just personal preference.

I just didn't get the ending. Maybe I need to rewatch it or something, or maybe it is just too deep for me.

i didnt get the ending either, had to read up on it to understand the meaning. its linked to the very beginning scene of the movie. i forget now, but yeah its a modern version of Job and the challenges to his faith.

What movie are you talking about?
Also he didn't direct True Romance, that was a Tony Scott film. They even minimized his writing credit in that film until he became popular in the next year with Pulp Fiction.

I loved the first few minutes of Bastards for the straight up Western shots. I was also the only person in the theater to laugh out loud after the basement bar shootout...and Hugo Stiglitz theme. I judged everyone.

He wrote the first part to Dusk till Dawn till they get to the bar then shitty Rodriguez took over.
The movie was really good up till that point then it went downhill fast in true cheesy Rodriguez style...
People saying he is a better writer then director of course that is true. He is one of the best Dialouge/Monologue writers to ever live imho.
That being said he is also an amazing director. Just because his one ability outshines the latter does not make the other one any less important.
You can look at any of his Films. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs etc, and they are all exceptionally crafted.

Theres barely any dialogue in the last half, and if you know anything about those two directors there signature ways of storytelling are very apparent from the first half to the 2nd half.
Its painfully obvious that the first half is Tarantino influenced with all people talking to each other. With the 2nd half being all Rodriquezs off the wall cheesy bullshit.
You can see the same thing in any of there colobarations.
In Tarantinos Sin City parts. Its all pretty much just actors playing off each other such as the guy talking to the headless corpse.
Same thing with Planet Terror being off the wall, and Death proof being very much another actors monolouge piece.

Style difference halfway? Sure.
Doesn't really change the facts though, unless they're just outright lying in interviews and faking it on the little documentary that was filmed on the filming of From Dusk Till Dawn and the labour issues associated with them film.
