Tarantino used to write the first scripts when he was young, still in high school. He said he did not receive much support even from teachers, except for his mother: “They considered doing this in place of my homework an act of bold rebellion for me.”, announced the director of the film.
Upon learning what happened, Tarantino’s mother said something unmotivated to her son: ‘She said, ‘And by the way, that little writing career you’ve been trying to do is just over. When she said it to me in such a sarcastic way, I just thought, “When I become a successful screenwriter, you won’t see a penny of my success.”.
Tarantino spending his entire career brutalizing women in movies to get back to his mom saying something meant 40 years ago makes perfect sense. I hate to see Freud happy https://t.co/eCoD21K4Br
