According to the director, the film is good in many elements, but somewhat “simple” and, moreover, too much resembles “Taxi driver” Martin Scorsese. From Tarantino’s point of view, there is now a general tendency to take films from the 70s and remake them into peculiar pop-cultural artifacts.
“Taxi Driver” as “Joker”, “Apocalypse Now” as “To the Stars”, is it really becoming a strange artifact of pop culture from more powerful films of another time?

However, Tarantino believes that the scene closer to the finale of “Joker” on the evening show turned out great, because in the process you can literally feel how the attitude of the viewer in the audience changes – he simply cannot tear himself away from the screen.
At the same time, in this episode, a powerful deception of expectations occurs, when the viewer is put in the position of a mad hero who kills an innocent person, and he approves of it.
The director also added that it was necessary to watch the film in the cinema, otherwise it would be “not right”.
It’s like twisting instead of great threesome.
