It's about a boy coming home from the Civil War, or maybe World War I even, and about his Mother seeing him all destroyed.

And if you're talking about somebody like Sam Jackson, they do that. Sam Jackson can do that. Sam Jackson can turn it into the spoken word that it was always meant to be and he can sell my jokes. And Christopher Walken can do it and a lot of people can do it, all right.
Quentin TarantinoI donโt want to be an old-man filmmaker, making old-man movies, and I donโt want to be the one not to know when to leave the party.
