‘Nomadland’ DP Calls Out Quentin Tarantino for Slamming Digital Cinematography

“Tarantino says digital is the death of cinema. Fuck you, man. Chloé could get no backing, because she’s a Chinese woman. With digital, we could make our own movies for a hundred thousand dollars at the level they could be shown as cinema,” he said.

reply

Cinema? Cinema died long before Tarantino. Well, in a coma.

china joe killed cinema, he needs to get the movie theaters open again. biden is a slug and has to go.

Hahahaha, what does this even mean? Biden wasn't president when movie theaters shut down, idiot.

Also, "cinema" doesn't refer to movie theaters. What a surprise someone who uses the term "China Joe" is a fucking imbecile. Also really trashy since the director of this movie is a Chinese woman. What even brought you here?

reply

Overreacting much?

reply

I know. He could have just said that it helped get the movie made instead of talking all that other nonsense.

reply

She can't get th movie made because she's a Chinese woman but was then given $100m+ to do a Marvel movie. I guess she's not Asian anymore.

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!

Quentin Tarantino isn't slamming digital photography, he is slamming digital PROJECTION!

Dude has some serious anger issues! This is a guy whose hyper-expensive private education at NYU likely cost more than the entire production costs for "Nomadland."

And, that education apparently did NOT include reading comprehension. Tarantino CLEARLY was talking about Digital PROJECTION, not CINEMATOGRAPHY.

Sheesh! I was rooting for this guy to win the Oscar this year. Now, not really.
