Quentin Tarantino Quote
""I don't want it to feel like a period film. I want it to feel current...I want it to feel right now. One of the things I have to battle against is 30 years of Nazi-occupation TV movies where we've all seen the big streets and the vintage cars and the Swastikas, and we've just seen that ad nauseum...This is a modern, in-your-face movie. This is not a TV movie period piece."BBC News: Tarantino relief at finishing project (June 23, 2008)Categories
