What do directors do? Why do they all the credit when it was

Tarantino makes sure there are enough foot scenes - that's all that is needed

Because it's the director that makes the movie at the end, not the writer.

>writers make the story
>actors actually act it out on screen
>cinematographers shoot it and decide visual style
>production designers make the sets and props
>editors actually piece together the movie into a complete product

>directors yell "Action!" or "Cut!"
>they're the geniuses behind it all and get all the praise

theyre basically curators of talent and then make executive decisions with the pool of talent at hand

how old are you? 10?

Director controlls everybody.
Everybody works under the command of the director.

A bad director wil still make a bad movie even if he has the best cinematographer and writer.

try giving a bunch of actors a script and let them shoot the movie themselves.

writers are more important though, and Quintin is both

t. never been in a movie set
directors control the shot and the acting

Why does everyone hate Trump when he's not the one who writes the budget/creates legislation/control all the departments?

Tarantino wrote most of the movies he directed.

It's the editor tho
Director is really just a middleman

Writers are pretty overrated outside drama and comedy genres

cinema is first and foremost a visual medium and most universally acclaimed classics prove so, many times even music and cinematography have more relevance than the script as it was originally penned

see: auteur theory

And Quentin is a horrible example for the question you pose considering he usually writes his own shit and is autistic about directing his actors

They got the vision. They can change the script however they want. Or tell the writer to do something else. They tell the editor how to edit. They tell the cinematographer what they want to see. They tell the actors how to act. They tell the costume designer what to make.

All decisions start and end with the director. They aren't the middle man. Everyone else is.

A director still has a lot of power in the fact that he controls a lot of the film's tone

take blade runner for example, it's obviously in the script that Deckard is a replicant as evident from the fact that they actually shot the Unicorn dream sequence
and Ridley Scott put it in most of his directors cuts, thereby changing the tone of the film from mystery to pretty much confirmation (not a good thing in my opinion)

and admittedly this a director changing an original studio enforced decision, but in principle it could work in reverse
