Every kind of art goes through some discussion about his “death.” With the arrival of streaming, there is a strong debate about the “end” of music and cinema, as the form of consumption has changed a lot.
Tarantino Quentin It seems to be adept at more pessimistic thinking. The renowned director even said, in a recent interview, that 2019 It was the last year that made real cinema.
The comment was made during participation at the Sundance Film Festival, at the end of last January (via NME). The subject came after he initially stressed that he expects his children to get older to return to work on what the tenth and last feature film of his career should be.
“I’m in no hurry. I have been doing this for 30 years. I have a 5 year old son and a 2 and a half year old. When I’m in the United States, I’m writing. In Israel, I am a father. The idea of boarding a trip the moment they are still very young to understand does not attract me. I don’t want to make any movie until my son is at least 6 years old. That way, he will know what is happening, will be there and will be a memory for the rest of his life. ”
Still at the time, Tarantino revealed that he was writing the script of a play – which should be his next project. If the story in question is successful, a film adaptation may occur. Nevertheless, it lacks enthusiasm to work in a scenario that, in your view, is in decay.
“Well, what is a movie now? Something that goes through theaters for a symbolic release for four weeks? All good. And then on the second week you can watch on television. I did not enter this for decreasing returns. I mean, it was bad enough in 1997. It was bad enough in 2019, and that was the last year of the movies. ”

Some curious releases marked 2019. It was the year Tarantino released its latest feature film, Once upon a time… Hollywood. In the same period, one of the most revenue films has come to public at all times: Avengers: Ultimatumresponsible for yielding $ 2.799 billion at the box office.
