As a child, Quention Tarantino - director, screenwriter, producer, film critic and actor - vowed not to give his mother a penny after he became successful because she is suspected of having discouraged his career.
In an interview with Brian Koppelman on The Moment podcast, Tarantino said he started writing screenplays in elementary school, but got into trouble with teachers, who saw writing as an act of rebellion against homework. of school ”.
The director of "Pulp Fiction" is thought to have written the first screenplay called "Captain Peachfuzz and the Anchovy Bandit" when he was just 12. During the interview, he confessed that he had problems with grades in school and had an uneasy relationship with mother because of the lessons.
"He was yelling at me and then he said, 'Oh, by the way, this' little writing career,' quoting with his fingers. This 'little writing career' you're getting? "This stupidity is over."
Tarantino recalled, 'And when he told me sarcastically, I thought,' Okay, ma'am. When I become a successful screenwriter, you will not receive a penny from my success. You will not have a home. You will not have a vacation. There will be no Elvis Cadillac for mom. You will not get anything. "Because you said that."
Pasi Koppelman e pyeti, “A je i përmbajtur zotimit”, ai tha:
“Po, po. E kam ndihmuar me një bllokim të IRS [shërbimi i të ardhurave të brendshme, institucion përgjegjës për mbledhjen e taksave]. Por jo shtëpi. Asnjë Cadillac, asnjë shtëpi.”
Regjisori tha se nëna e tij është ende gjallë, por shtoi se e ka marrë vendimin për të mos e ndihmuar financiarisht shumë vite më parë sepse “ka pasoja për fjalët që ti përdor me fëmijën, mbani mend që ka pasoja për tonin sarkastik që përdor dhe kuptimin që ka për ta.”
Nëna e tij, Connie, thuhet se ishte 16 vjeçe kur lindi ikonën e filmit në Tennessee. Ata më pas u transferuan në Los Angeles kur Tarantino ishte 4 vjeç.
