Quentin Tarantino – one of the few directors who have remained faithful to the art and craftsmanship of filmmaking. Unlike most people in the film industry, Tarantino never received a formal film education and learned about cinema by watching classics such as big escape as well as Rio Bravo. His last film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a piece of historical fiction that explores Hollywood in the 1960s and is full of classic nostalgia.

Almost all of Tarantino’s films somehow reflect his passion for classic cinema. Whether it’s the casting of classic star Rod Taylor in Inglourious Basterds or an invisible voice Elvis Presley in Real love, Tarantino’s films are full of references to many classic films and stars.

Lieutenant Aldo Rain, played by Pitt, is a reference to Lee Marvin’s rogue character. Major Reisman is a bit more direct than Rain, but both men have no respect for rules and regulations. Pitt also leads a group of criminals on a mission during World War II to destroy German troops stationed in France.
