Bah, Tarantino's best effort, Pulp Fiction, was completely organic. Dialogue being ripped off of other movies? No way. Along with being a great director, what makes his movies great are his screenplays. The dialogue in Pulp Fiction is sharp, witty, and definetly original. With his direction and screenplays, he has made a style unto his own, has been a huge influence on other directors and writers, and has had so many others copy his direction and style. What do you have against Tarantino anyways? It's not like he stole a script from a bunch of Asian flicks and Western flicks. He incorporated many elements from those types of films, but what movies don't? I'm not an expert on Asian films by any means, but I'm willing to bet that not all of them are completely groundbreaking, and that some of the best have used ideas from other movies. Godammit, we've had a discussion similar to this before and I still don't get how you (or anybody) thinks that Tarantino's style is anything but original.
