That's just good direction' – Quentin Tarantino, the man of heart and sole, and his love for feet in retrospect

In the realm of Hollywood, some directors are known for their signature styles, and Quentin Tarantino has always been one of them. His love for feet on screen, so noteworthy that Brad Pitt once quipped at the SAG Awards that Tarantino "has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA," remains an enduring element of his filmography. As reported by Consequence.net, Tarantino responded to the incessant buzz with his signature flair, saying, "That's just good direction."

'That's just good direction' – Tarantino's Affection for the Articulated Appendage

Far from being ruffled by the constant speculation around his foot fascination, Tarantino remains unperturbed. "I don't take it seriously. There's a lot of feet in a lot of good directors' movies," he proclaimed, highlighting that he was not the first, nor the last, director to embrace the aesthetics of feet. From Luis Buñuel to Alfred Hitchcock and Sofia Coppola, Tarantino stands in good company. In his words, critics can "put a sock in it."

'I know film history' – Tarantino's Sole-full Legacy

Beyond the sole, Tarantino continues to be a constant source of unforgettable quotes. Whether it's his declaration of not giving his mother a "penny" following an insult about his early screenwriting or his recent double-down on retiring after his next film, the 58-year-old auteur remains as colorful off-screen as his characters are on it.

He recently added the Vista Theatre in Los Angeles to his repertoire and released a novelization of his ninth film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" — projects that, unsurprisingly, feature their fair share of bare feet. "I know film history, and from here on end, directors do not get better," he stated, hinting at the potential end of an era.

It's clear that Quentin Tarantino is a man of both heart and sole. His persistent love for feet – not as a fetish, but as an artistic fascination – is as much a part of his legacy as the unforgettable dialogue, violence, and homage to cinema that pervades his works.
