Quentin Tarantino’s The Movie Critic is expected to be released in 2024, and while there are not many confirmed details about the film, it will likely continue with one of the director’s most remarkable traditions. Tarantino has always claimed that he will retire after making 10 movies and, since he counts Kill Bill‘s two parts as one single piece, this will be his tenth and last film. Considering how Quentin Tarantino counts his movies, the anticipation for what might be his final movie could not be higher.
Even though there are no specific details about The Movie Critic’s plot, Tarantino has already confirmed that the movie will revolve around a movie critic who is slightly based on a real person he met during the 70s. This person wrote film reviews in porno magazines which, in Tarantino’s own words, could be entries from the diary of Taxi Driver‘s Travis Bickle. Everything revealed about The Movie Critic indicates that Tarantino will continue with a trend that started 15 years ago.
Quentin Tarantino’s Final Movie Details Seemingly Revealed By Iconic Director
Iconic director Paul Schrader seemingly reveals new details for Quentin Tarantino’s final movie The Movie Critic, confirming a career trend.
The Movie Critic Will Continue Tarantino’s Blending Of Reality & Fiction
Quentin Tarantino likes to blend reality and fiction and create interesting stories by tackling real-life events. Tarantino’s historical alterations started with Inglourious Basterds in 2009 and have been replicated in his subsequent movies in one way or another. The fact that The Movie Critic is based on a real-life critic suggests that this trend will continue as some historical things will most likely be included, such as movies or personalities from the 70s. In addition to that, some minor changes and winks can also be expected.
In Django Unchained, as well as in The Hateful Eight, which are both set during important historical events, Tarantino changed some minor details. However, the most relevant examples of Quentin Tarantino’s films messing with historical facts are Inglourious Basterds, when he modifies how Hitler dies, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where he changes Sharon Tate’s fate. For this film, Tarantino has already confirmed that he is re-filming some scenes from a couple of movies from the 70s. As such, The Movie Critic will likely feature scenes from real-life films or recreations of it.
Why The Movie Critic Continuing Tarantino’s Real-World Trend Is Good For His Last Movie
Assuming that this is, in fact, Quentin Tarantino’s retirement, blending reality and fiction and changing some historical details would be a great way of giving closure to his career. Considering that Tarantino’s films have become a genre of their own and how much pop culture has influenced his style, making a film about a movie critic and having the chance to re-interpret some of the films that marked him throughout his career will allow him to reflect upon his filmography fascinatingly. Additionally, The Movie Critic will be able to modify its own source of inspiration, which would also be a great way for Tarantino to end his career.
