"I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act." - Orson Welles

I always liked and respected Pekinpah. He made sense to me.
He can say it, but I don't believe it. :)

His work is littered with rape scenes. I think Straw Dogz & Alfredo are masterpieces. But he was certainly a misogynist.
shareBullshit.
He was simply a drunk
and it killed him. I know plenty of drunks, some of them are Daisys now. A drunk does not lie, drunks are incapable of putting together a coherent story.
You are a person that has clearly never lived with drunks, YOU are talking to an expert👍
"I steal from every single movie ever made. I love it - if my work has anything it's that I'm taking this from this and that from that and mixing them together. If people don't like that, then tough titty, don't go and see it, all right? I steal from everything. Great artists steal; they don't do homages."
QT
That's a bullshit quote and an excuse for not being original.. He even stole that from a musician from the 1800s.

Ironically, the end part of the quote is basically stolen: 'Good artists copy, great artists steal.' Usually attributed to Picasso, although I think I read there's no evidence he ever said it.
It’s not bullshit at all. He’s simply being honest. He’s right, too. Are QT’s films ‘derivative’ ? Hardly.
