At dahil humanga ng husto ang sikat na director ng Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs na si Quentin Tarantino kay Brillante Mendoza, pinadalhan niya ito ng love letter.
As a supplement, here is a transcription of the lovenote 
:
Dear Mr. Mendoza,
Bravo on your difficult, troubling work. Your decission never to dramatize the murder, never indulge in movie suspense…, was bold, daring and to me, the whole point of making the movie in the first place. I felt it was completely a eyewitness account of a horrific murder. I believed everything I saw. Your point wasnt to dramatize it. It was to capture it.
Bravo,
Quentin Tarantino

kailangan niya ng refresher course sa handwriting 101. sumakheet ulo ko day!
baliktad pa kamo yung notepad na ginamit. lol
yeah! hindi ako maintindihan ang sinulat ni QT. yan ang tinatawag na chicken scratches! hahaha. oh well…magaling naman syang director at magaling ding mag judge sa american idol.
somebody sent me the movie. when i get back to New Orleans, share ko hahaha!
doctor ba yan si tarantino? nakakataranta ang sulatttt!!! hahaha
penge ng Kinatay!
nalorka ako sa handwriting ni Tarantino. pero it was so nice of him to send a love letter to Mendoza. He is such a pretty cool guy. ~~~feeling close~~~
let me see if i could forward it hehehe
A lot of people says that the movie is repulsive and disgusting daw but I really wanna watched it.
pati letter y muka 7.
sa husay nyang magdirek hinde alanganin pagdudahan kung sulat kamay nya talaga yan.
ipalaminate kaya labletter na yan.
actually, maganda na nga yang sulat kamay nyang yan eh kompara sa iba na halos luluwa na yung mata mo di mo pa rin naiintindihan. haha
quentin sure loves violent movies! hindi ko nagustuhan ang mga recent films nya. the last ones i liked was pulp fiction and from dusk till dawn (horror).
Parehas tayo GabbyD, wala na akong nagustohan pang movies niya maliban sa tatlong na mention ko.
Ako nga Pulp Fiction lang gusto ko. Mahilig siya talaga sa violence. Nakakaloka talaga…
I guess it’s really nice to hear that we have a new set of “Lino Brockas” and i hope Hollywood would take a second look at Filipino Film Directors insteas of always the Chinese and the Japanese.
Right, hopefully this will open the international market’s eyes to Filipino movies.
My friend’s indie film that showcased the beauty of Bohol is almost done. Weee! I’ve seen the first 30 minutes of it and it was darn good! Maalaala mo talaga ang barriotic life mo with that movie. I promise to give you a copy, Reynz.
understood yan ng pharmacist ko. sabog kung sabog pero ecstacy ang effect, parang 60′s, peace man!
MANABAKO TAYO!
Thank you sa pag transcribe ng hand writing ni Mr. Tarantino para kay Mendoza. Hindi ko talaga mabasa ung sulat. at least ito basang basa.
Parang sdinulat lang sa tissue paper…May slip dun sa clear copy: “account of a horrific murder”
Aktwali, QT wrote horrofic, hehehe…
QT – Horrofic?
DFish, tell me about.
PULP FICTION! KILL BILL!
No guarantee of a heavenly mind. What about work of a deranged mind and lucky enough to express it the HOLLYWOOD WAY.
They found a job that they don’t have to work.
“They found a job that they don’t have to work.”
Hahaha, isa na namang palaisipan…
Wazzup with Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill? Violence, violence – di na kelangan gumawa ng script; sa Bronx at Parola, Tondo madaming live scripts…
“Horrofic” – baka naman marcot to ng “horror” at “fiction”?
“KINATAY” ni QT and tissue paper hehehe
I am so proud too of Brillante Mendoza kasi brilliant siya talaga.
Hmmm, yang si Quentin Tarantino, napansin nyo ba na lagi niyang lead actress si Uma Thurman?
QT is a very good director, parang german ang handwriting niya, nataranta ako sa pagbabasa parang steno, malapit ang puso nya sa mga pinoy, at least he find time to praise BM
basta noypi, THE BEST!
I never like violent movies. I want fast-paced action movies though.
i heard that the movie kinatay will never pass the approval of the Board of Censors.
hindi yan maipapalabas dahil i’m sure kakatayin yan ng cuts ng mtrcb. baka 5 minutes na lang mapanuod natin sa dami ng cuts. bwahaha
anyway, Kinatay will be shown in UP daw.
congrats kay direk. Salamat and Mabuhay ka!
“Bonamiiiineee” nahilo akow sa pagbasha grhabe brrrrrrr baliktad pa nga note pad hahaha mukha ngang doktor by profession itong si direk hahaha.
sabi ni brillante di raw sya papayag ipalabas sa pinas yung kinatay kasi di raw sya papayag katay katayin ang mga eksena
