I always hated Shakespeare, mostly because of how it’s taught.

Imagine reading about Quinten Tarantino in the future, they study his methods, his dialogue and cinematography, but they hand you his screenplays and ask you to analyze them. Not once actually showing you one of his movies.

In high school they tried to make me read all that nonsense and I had no idea what any of it meant. As an adult i saw a play as it was meant, and it gave me much more context and visual understanding. I still don’t get why he wrote like that, I prefer clear language over poetry, but I at least appreciated it way more than i did as a kid being forced to read

Reading Shakespeare is torture. That is why we make actors do it for us.

It was written in prose so it could be memorized and to hide injendos and jokes.

Tarantino screenplays are good fun to read though

Do you think the future teachers will have a section dedicated to feet in Tarantino movies??? 🤨
