Tarantino >>>>>>> Fincher.

When you die, I BET you'll be able to name more lines from Tarantino films and his movie titles than David Fincher's . . . because originality is more memorable.

There's no such thing as a writer-directer job. Tarantino does two jobs whereas Fincher (to use his example) only does one. I think Fincher's a better director than Tarantino. Obviously Tarantino's a better writer, because Fincher isn't a writer at all. Tarantino shouldn't lump the two jobs together, it's unfair. He writes, so compare yourself with writers. He directs, compare it with directors. But they're two separate things. The fact that they're done by the same man doesn't make it one job.

@Tyler2004durden - Uh he's been borrowing ever since his first movie. Where have you been? lol

this guy is amazing!! what better director than the writer i would say.

@thecalvinmovies Oh yeah, because originality is clearly synonymous with quoting lines. Not dissing Tarantino, I mean I love Tarantino, and I prefer him over Fincher, but originality can be achieved other ways. "Eraserhead" by David Lynch for example, is an original piece of cinema, that really doesn't have any lines at all.

Tarantino is an Aries and Fincher a Virgo. One is all ego and the other all intellect :)

@Redspy27 I really agree with this. Smart comment.

[MyRychlik]

Let's not bullshit. It's like comparing Martin Scorcese to Steven Spielberg. Both have an audience and make entertaining movies. I love Fincher and Tarantino, but for different reasons. Fincher is a visual and I would say complicated genius (his films reflect this). Tarantino is a master of the written word, hes known for his off beat dialogue.

@thecalvinmovies: I wouldn´t say that.I think this whole comprehension is kinda pointless caus of their different styles. But I see it like this: Tarantino has his own way of looking at movies. He is the one modern filmmaker who makes most people get in contact with movies. But I can´t say if u can call it originality, cause of the amount of quotes in his movie. Like Kill Bill--> Basically a remake of the asianmovie Lady Snowblood. Don´t get it wrong, I like his work, but no match to Fincher

@Tyler2004durden @NoDataNoFuture Tarantino has never been really original, since "Reservoir Dogs" is basically a loose remake of Ringo Lam's "City on Fire". But everybody's always been inspired by everybody in movie history. Tarantino's visual, different style makes his films really personal, his own, even if he always 'borrows' a lot.

[NoDataNoFuture]

@Wezzipooh He hasn't done a regular remake but the "inspiration" from other movies shines heavily through. Be it samurai, blaxploitation, grindhouse, spaghettiwesterns etc. I think these influences are too dominant in his movies and it prevents him from doing something more personal, more unique.

Fincher is an ok studio director that has made a few decent films. His visual styles changes a little from film to film, it's nowhere near as distinct as fanboys make it out to be. He is not an auteur. He is just a decent studio director, that's all. he is more of a technician than an artist.

Tarantino used to be good, but he is just wasting his talent now. at least he is distinctive.
