Yet Tarantino’s insights, brazen and brilliant as they always are, are weirdly upstaged by the tiny, unfollowed-up hints he drops about his own psyche – which comprise the ostensible “memoir” part of the book. ![]() He says it was cowardly to turn the Black pimp of Paul Schrader’s original script into a white man (though conceding the brilliance of Harvey Keitel’s performance) and wonders aloud how it might have played differently with other mooted directors: Richard Mulligan or Brian De Palma, or with the studio’s first pick, Jeff Bridges, in the lead. Tarantino also thinks it’s important to understand that Robert De Niro’s character Travis Bickle was never actually in Vietnam at all because a real Vietnam veteran would not be so wary of and ignorant about Black people.
