Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an American filmmaker, actor, film programmer, and cinema owner.
His films are characterized by nonlinear storylines, satirical subject matter, aestheticization of violence, extended scenes of dialogue, ensemble casts, references to popular culture and a wide variety of other films, soundtracks primarily containing songs and score pieces from the 1960s to the 1980s, alternate history, and features of neo-noir film.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Michael J. Fox revealed to Empire magazine (via IndieWire) that Leonardo DiCaprio and Quentin Tarantino crossed his mind when he landed on the decision to stop acting for good amid his Parkinson’s disease.
The “Back to the Future” icon was filming scenes for the television series “The Good Fight” at the time and was struggling to remember his lines. “I thought of ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,'” Fox said. “There’s a scene where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character can’t remember his lines anymore.
He goes back to his dressing room and he’s screaming at himself in the mirror. Just freaking insane. I had this moment where I was looking in the mirror and thought, ‘I cannot remember it anymore.
Well, let’s move on.’ It was peaceful.” The scene Fox referenced is one of the more memorable sequences in Tarantino’s “Hollywood.” DiCaprio’s character, the actor Rick Darlton, has an over-the-top meltdown over forgetting his lines and trashes his trailer in a fit of rage.
