Dude ain't wrong, you don't wanna cry in front of mexican men cause sadly it's still seen as a sign of weakness. Even more in the time this movie is set on.
My favorite part: After Rick says he used a flamethrower at the end, and Jay Sebring asks him, "Oh, you mean from the 14 Fists of McClusky?" The pause, the smile, and the way Leo delivers that "YeAH." Its perfect. Rick realizes how hard he is on himself, all at once.
What I really like about the line and concept is wondering if, in that scene with Pacino, were the characters talking about Rick Dalton or were the actors talking about DiCaprio. "That's really you operating the flamthrower, right?" "Yeah. I trained for 3 weeks."
@@konowd I suppose you're only joking. I agree that the movie is very self-referential and Tarantino probably inserted a lot of himself in Rick Dalton, but as an ARTIST in general, not as an actor. Tarantino probably sees himself in the end of his career, with his golden years long gone, since he famously says he will only make 10 films, so that part might be true about his fantasy of getting praise in his late career. As a director, though.
Bet he’ll revive his “acting” career soon, God help us all. And no, that’s what that scene is, it’s his fantasy of people recognizing his “acting,” which is sad
@@volcghost that’s exactly what happend to me man. I didnt think that much of it, but I’ve seen it like 12 times since. It’s got such a cozy feel to it
@yakkattack Just because you personally watched it once doesn’t mean it’s a “one off” my man lmao. Learn the difference between “I dont like this movie” and “this movie is bad” it will help you out in the future.
I know at a certain point "best Tarantino movie" really comes down to a matter of opinion, but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood really is the answer for me. It's Tarantino at his absolute most Tarantino. It's absolutely overflowing with adoration for the Era and Hollywood, the cast is absolutely grade A+ perfect, just the whole thing. And, he manages to restrain his love of over the top violence until (mostly) the very end, tying together the whole thing with a cacophonous eruption of violence against people who TRULY are beyond audience empathy, which is just -chef's kiss-. I love it. Love the whole thing, perfect movie, no notes.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Pulp Fiction are my two favorite Tarantino movies. They both have something in common I liked. Having the two main characters in each film play so perfectly off each other. I know I'm in the minority when I say Kill Bill Pt1&2 are my least favorite Tarantino films they were to cartoony and over the top for me.
Imagine walking into the theater late with no context and seeing Pitt smashing some woman's face into the wall and everyone in the audience is just laughing and cheering 😂
"Well, the fucking hippies aren't. That's for got damn sure." You can tell there was just a bit of personal animus from Tarantino in that line, heck in the whole plot. It's like every time I hear Cartman trash the hippies, I know I'm hearing Matt and Trey speak from the heart. Cracks me up every time.
It won 2 Oscars: Best Supporting Actor Brad Pitt Best Production Design. I heard when the audience saw the unexpected ending, they were cheering. They were laughing and clapping!
yep! went with a group of friends the night it came out and us being little 18 year old tarantino fans, we knew the climax would be great but didn’t know what. great theater experience.
Burt Reynolds was supposed to play George Spahn but passed away before he started shooting his scenes and this was Luke Perry's last film as well. You caught Uma Thurman's actual daughter at the end but her Kill Bill daughter was the hippie who sold Cliff the cigarette dipped in acid.
I've heard that a lot of people that didn't like the movie and thought it was aimless - are generally the people that are unaware of the real history of the horrors that took place that night on Ceilo Drive. If you ARE aware, you can't help but feel the slow and constant march toward that inevitable, horrific end throughout the whole second half of the movie.
Right! You're so happy and excited that all the bad guys are dead and a live Sharron is meeting Rick Dalton... then "Once Upon A Time" scrolls across the screen, and you remember the horrible reality, and the happiness drains out of you into a puddle on the floor.
@@girliephotographeris it possible @Man310Reaper was referring to the actual senseless murders of Tate and the others and want referring to the movie killing of the baddies?
Yeah, when the music starts playing as Dalton walks up the drive-way and you remember what really happened... That part actually got me really emotional when I saw it in theaters.
I love a lot of things about this movie, but my favorite meta-joke is the fact that Rick Dalton is an actor who used to be the real deal and is now slowly fading away, while DiCaprio himself has always been big but is now getting even bigger (finally got that Oscar lol). But it doesn't stop there; the saloon scene, where Dalton finds his self-esteem again, mirrors the story of Tarantino and John Travolta: Travolta thought he was done, that he'd never get a good part ever again, then Tarantino called him and read him the script for Pulp Fiction and said he wouldn't settle for anyone else, it had to be Travolta. Now, 2024, when you think John Travolta, you think Pulp Fiction, and when you think Pulp Fiction, you think John Travolta and Sam L. Jackson.
15:46 your expression suggests you've never seen "The Great Escape." Once Upon A Time... really has its own set of movies to watch to catch the references. This scene in particular is basically Tarantino doing a Forest Gump by digitally putting DiCaprio into The Great Escape.
I just love how this movie is basically 3 slice of life short films rolled into one. Rick working Cliff's day off Sharon shopping. Now I personally wasn't to happy with how they did my boy Bruce dirty, but I understand why, he was sadly used to highlight how much of a beast Cliff was/is.
Every time someone reacts to this movie, I have to hope that they'll get at least some of the sh** ton of references Tarantino has packed into it. Some reactors have never even heard of Sharon Tate/Charles Manson/Manson family, for Pete's sake, much less mentions of people such as Steve McQueen, Cass Elliott, Roman Polanski, Andrew (Andy) McLaglen, Edmund (Eddie) O'Brien, James Stacy (star of the real-life "Lancer" TV series), Joanna Pettit, TV westerns of the 50s and 60s and Italian cinema in general, "The FBI", "The Great Escape", etc. etc. A passing knowledge of the Tate murders is also essential, i.e. when Charles "Tex" Watson, Susan "Sadie" Atkins, and Patricia "Katie" Krenwinkle murdered Sharon and her houseguests Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski, and Jay Sebring, as well as Sharon's unborn baby for whose life she pleaded. [edit: I left out Steven Parent, who was shot dead in his car in Sharon's driveway.] This also explains why their exceedingly violent "overkill" deaths are such a catharsis for those of us who have lived with the memory of this horrific crime since that awful night.
I like how Tarantino's fictional characters kind of parallel Clint Eastwood and also the relationship between Burt Reynolds and his stuntman buddy Hal Needham back in the day.
This has become my favorite QT movie not named 'Pulp Fiction.' Not only does the movie provide us the satisfying reimagining of historical events, but also this works great as a period piece in that it shows us an era in which Hollywood is changing from the traditional Western to more modern themed television shows and movies. And then there are the great performances. Brad Pitt, Leonardo DeCaprio, and especially Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate. If only things had gone this way with Sharon Tate unharmed.
There is an episode of Quentin Tarantino's podcast where they created a Farewell To Rick Dalton episode like he was a real person and had passed away. It was absolutely insane to see how good Quentin was at storytelling in real-time.
Quentin's alternate history kick for this and Inglorious Basterds is really fun. Even Jango has some of that sort "what if?" quality. It seems like he was having fun. I know he is always saying he is going to stop but selfishly I will always want to see what he does next.
This film is just *so* fucking relaxing dude (besides the ending obviously) Smoking a doob on the couch with your dog while watching this is peak existence to me.
This may or may not be Taratino's best movie, but it is his easiliest rewatchable one. Whole thing has very low stakes and is mostly a vibe, in comparison to his other movies.
This was one of the last movies I got to see with my mom, and I'm really glad I did because she was 13 when Sharon Tate was murdered and it was very interesting to hear her thoughts on this movie as well as her recollection of the real life events.
I will never forget the amazing cinema experience of an entire theatre screening erupting into laughter and cheers when DiCaprio comes out with that flamethrower. The best ending to a Tarantino movie ever.
It's hard to believe Quentin is only going to be making one more film. Once upon a time is a perfect movie. I've grown up watching all his movies and it will definitely feel like the end of an era.
I like Brad Pitts character! Cliff is down to earth and hard working! His scene with Bruce Lee is great and luv him in the last scene when he's not sure if he's trippin or if its all real. Great acting! His dog was cool too! Saved his life! Like Ariana i was expecting history to repeat itself but this ending gave me a sense of relief and slight satisfaction. This movie ending was a happy twist! Thanks for sharing Arianna ❤️💛
How many old timers watched Hullabaloo when it was broadcast? I still remember when they ended the show with Freddy and the Dreamer's and everyone (including the cameramen) was dancing the "Freddy". Yeah, I'm old.
Yeah, you are. I'm 58 and born in 66, the last time they aired the show. Nice to see some old timers on here and hear their perspectives in these times.
3:14 this is a legitimate thing Hollywood actors hear. Apparently the Rock & Vin Diesel have super thorough language in their contracts about how and when they get hit. They won’t allow themselves to get even hit in their movies without their approval
@@nickinskeep it is soft but I sort of get it that they have a vested interest in controlling how their image is perceived by audiences. Clearly it’s worked for them. I’d say look at Jackie Chan, he took hits and still came across as a bad ass. 🤷🏼♂️
What COULD have happened, that they all lived happily ever after, is surprisingly sad when you think how it just didn't happen. It's a much sadder ending when you look at it like that.
My mother’s high school sweetheart was Steven Parent the first victim that night. He’s not in the movie, but even after 50 years later, she still traumatized by what happened her high school prom photo is printed in the book Helter Skelter. she’s only talk publicly about it once in 50 years. The same photo that is in the book still hangs in her house. they were only 18 at the time wrong place at the wrong time
Janet, who was the woman who's care Bruce Lee got thrown into, is stuntwoman/actress Zoe Bell. She doubled for Uma Thurman on the Kill Bill movies and became really good friends with Tarantino. I believe she has either acted in or done stunts for every Tarantino film since then. Her acting debut was in the Tarantino movie Death Proof, where she played herself. She worked with Kurt Russell in that movie as well.
This was the perfect culmination of every single one of Tarantino's passions (cinema, television, and music) as well as a rich, vibrant and layered love letter to an era of Hollywood film history that is a far cry from the neutered, stale, and performatively diverse and agenda-driven drivel we've suffered through over the past 5 years or more. It's a brilliantly made and expertly written (as usual with Tarantino) masterwork that I could have sat with for an extra hour, really. I really hope Tarantino actually ends up making Bounty Law as a limited series (he's written several episodes of the show) once he's done his 10th film.
There's a fan theory that all of Tarantino's movies take place in the same alternate history, the point of divergence being "Inglourious Basterds." No spoilers if you haven't seen it, but let's just say that the gonzo heroics of that tale made the general public more accepting of depictions of ultraviolence in media, for example, which is why Rick Dalton could make "The 14 Fists of McCluskey" at a time when violence in movies IRL would have been far more sanitized. I think Tarantino has publically stated there is no such overarching thesis behind his craft, but he hasn't disavowed the theory either.
Arianna, you're by far my favorite reactor, I wish you showed up on this channel more often. You don't miss a thing, so damn smart and entertaining. You're not hard to look at either, which is always nice. 😏💯🔥👍
I watched this movie and didn’t love it, was bummed. Decided to watch it again for some reason and loved it so I watched it again! That’s 3 times in a row 😂. It’s so good
I always looked at that last scene with the way it was shot and that music in the background as a split from reality and the beginning of a fairy tale. It's such a well known event and it is sort of like a "and they lived happily ever after" type of ending that was tragically taken away from those people.
Sharon still being alive at the end of this movie made me cry. When she asked if everyone was okay, if Rick was okay; because in real life, she wasnt okay.
Cliff Booth : And you were on a horsey! Yeah... you are? Tex : I'm the Devil. And I'm here to do the Devil's business! Cliff Booth : Nah, it was dumber than that. Something like Rex. Sadie : God, shoot him, Tex! Cliff Booth : Tex!
This movie is so good. Some people say it's boring but I think that was the point. Tarantino specifically focused on small stories that made you feel human instead of the massive explosion filled movies we're all too familiar with.
I would love to see a reaction to The Father! Anthony Hopkins became the oldest to ever win an oscar for best actor! I’ll admit, it’s super super sad, and you’ll definitely cry.
I actually liked this movie because Tarantino wanted to make this film a love letter towards Hollywood from the late 60's casting Brad Pitt & Leo DiCaprio in order to each one plays an actor and the other plays a stuntdouble, which I found fantastic.
This movie is not intended for younger audiences to enjoy. Those Manson girls were some of the scariest individuals on the planet back in the day. You can't really understand it if you didn't experience it.
yeah I listened to the stuff you should know podcast on this and didn't realize just how brutal they really were IRL. This movie made them seem like a joke kinda, but I get it
I’m too young to have experienced it but I’ve read everything there is to read about it. Knowing the gory details, watching this for the first time was such a nail biter until the end. When Tate shows up visibly pregnant I was just like, “oh noooo”.
After watching this I read Helter Skelter, which makes this movie even better. She definitely hasn’t seen a lot about the murders and Charles Manson prior to watching this.
@23:14 - me still wondering if Arianna is hip to this movie being related to Charlie Manson and the Manson Family Murders... and if I AM actually old as dirt. @32:00 Feeling relieved and much better about myself.
Arianna One thing that I like about this is Taratino incorporates real actors in this alternate storyline of Hollywood such as that director, Sam Wanamaker who directed western TV series called Lancer. Sam did direct and act in his career including one movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1986's Raw Deal as Sam plays Mob Boss.
What's hilarious to me is when they busted in the door at the end I said the exact same thing when I was working at Petco and somebody busted our back door open in front of me with a crowbar dropped it and said oh shit and ran away after I said. Can I help you?. We assume he was trying for the jewelry store, two doors down in one of those strip malls
This theater experience was something else! Like when the ending kicks into high gear everyone lost their minds! This movie is pure cinema and revels in the love of cinema. It’s a shame that in a few short years the industry would be shown out for what it really is and has produced anything of great value since.
Tarantino wrote the novelization of this movie himself. He doesn't just stop where the movie ends, he goes on to describe what ends up happening in Rick's and Cliff's careers. He also goes into more detail about what happened on the boat between Cliff and his wife.
This really is one of my all time favorite Tarantino movies. I like a lot of people heard he was making a movie based on Manson, that it was going to be super graphic. And it wasn’t. Great alternative universe. Brad Pitt was the standout for me.
Go to Rome to make some westerns. This is a direct reference to Clint Eastwood. is an Italian film series consisting of three Spaghetti Western films directed by Sergio Leone. The films are titled A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). Their English versions were distributed by United Artists, while the Italian ones were distributed by Unidis and PEA
Fun fact: The flamethrower is real. The line of it being too hot was Leo's actual reaction to it. Also one of the stuntmen playing the Nazis actually got melted to the ground. His fire suit melted from the flamethrower and they had to scrape him off the floor like a stuck pancake on the stove.
Down in Temecula, CA I used to work with the daughter of one of the Manson girls, she wrote a book about it. I don’t remember exactly which one was her mother I want to say it was Sadie but I’m not sure.
Great reaction. The Manson family was nightmare fuel for me as a kid. Rick telling the gd dirty fn hippies off then taking a swig of margarita out of the blender is so damn funny. Get the book if you're into this film...it's adds a lot of context to the film.
Arianna Charles Manson was there at Polanski's home before Roman bought it from Terry Melcher. Link between Melcher and Manson doomed Sharon and her friends is Manson met Dennis Wilson, one of the original members of Beach Boys. Manson was also musician, and Dennis setup a meeting with Manson & Melcher for an audition for music contract. But Melcher declined to sign Manson. Non-signing angered Manson so much that he sent his family members to kill Melcher, then infamous killings of Sharon and her unborn baby, Jay and Abigail Folger plus her friend. Taratino created this movie as what if?
I know this comment is gonna sound weird, but I took my family to Denver to see the Cubs vs the Rockies yesterday(we were there from out of state) and when we were walking down Blake St after the game let out I am about 99% positive my wife and I saw Arianna talking to someone outside of the Hayter's bar. My wife and I both looked at each other and knew, but we didn't say anything because we were booking it back to our hotel with our kids. We didn't want to be creepers either, just a really funny, small world that we live in. lol
"Don't cry in front of the Mexicans." That cracks me up every time.
Dude ain't wrong, you don't wanna cry in front of mexican men cause sadly it's still seen as a sign of weakness. Even more in the time this movie is set on.
I can confirm this while living in west phoenix.
One of my favorite lines from any movie, ever.
As a Mexican-American, fucken loved that line when I saw it in theaters 😂
My favorite part: After Rick says he used a flamethrower at the end, and Jay Sebring asks him, "Oh, you mean from the 14 Fists of McClusky?" The pause, the smile, and the way Leo delivers that "YeAH." Its perfect. Rick realizes how hard he is on himself, all at once.
He got invited to the party, too, like he'd said he wanted. Everything resolved so dang perfect, and only the hippies would disagree.
@@donovanhaas7315Calling the Manson kids "Hippies" would actually anger them because they view themselves as better than hippies lmao

I live in Sweden, and people here are very quiet, especially in public. Never heard an audience laugh and cheer more than for the flamethrower scene!
"Rick, it's a flamethrower."
For some of us Angelinos who were alive at the time, the Cielo Drive street sign is a jump scare all by itself.

I like Brad Pitts character! Cliff is down to earth and hard working! His scene with Bruce Lee is great and luv him in the last scene when he's not sure if he's trippin or if its all real. Great acting! His dog was cool too! Saved his life! Like Ariana i was expecting history to repeat itself but this ending gave me a sense of relief and slight satisfaction. This movie ending was a happy twist! Thanks for sharing Arianna ❤️💛
How many old timers watched Hullabaloo when it was broadcast? I still remember when they ended the show with Freddy and the Dreamer's and everyone (including the cameramen) was dancing the "Freddy". Yeah, I'm old.
Yeah, you are. I'm 58 and born in 66, the last time they aired the show. Nice to see some old timers on here and hear their perspectives in these times.
You're my favorite reactor, Arianna. You are wonderful.
3:14 this is a legitimate thing Hollywood actors hear. Apparently the Rock & Vin Diesel have super thorough language in their contracts about how and when they get hit.
They won’t allow themselves to get even hit in their movies without their approval
That's the softest shit I've ever heard about actors, good lord get over yourselves
@@nickinskeep Jason Statham too btw.
@@bigpictureguys8415 well I can happily say I've never been a fan of rock and vin or any of their work, but it's a bummer to hear about statham
@@nickinskeep it is soft but I sort of get it that they have a vested interest in controlling how their image is perceived by audiences. Clearly it’s worked for them.
I’d say look at Jackie Chan, he took hits and still came across as a bad ass. 🤷🏼♂️
This revision is a masterpiece.
obsessed with this movie, love the story and the characters, could watch this one over and over
Anyone who lves it as much as me is my brother or sister.
What COULD have happened, that they all lived happily ever after, is surprisingly sad when you think how it just didn't happen.
It's a much sadder ending when you look at it like that.
whoever edited this did a great job 👏
I remember watching this in theatres, the whole audience was cracking up, one of the most memorable experiences i've had!
My mother’s high school sweetheart was Steven Parent the first victim that night. He’s not in the movie, but even after 50 years later, she still traumatized by what happened her high school prom photo is printed in the book Helter Skelter. she’s only talk publicly about it once in 50 years. The same photo that is in the book still hangs in her house. they were only 18 at the time wrong place at the wrong time
Rick Dalton is one of my favorite Leo characters. He’s pathetic in many ways but I still rooted for him and loved him.
Excited for this 🙌🏻🫶
Give that woman her own channel please. Arianna reactions are such a joy to watch.
HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THE “What you’ve all been waiting for”???
Right?! Same!
Terrific editting and reaction, really great thx a bunch!
Janet, who was the woman who's care Bruce Lee got thrown into, is stuntwoman/actress Zoe Bell. She doubled for Uma Thurman on the Kill Bill movies and became really good friends with Tarantino. I believe she has either acted in or done stunts for every Tarantino film since then. Her acting debut was in the Tarantino movie Death Proof, where she played herself. She worked with Kurt Russell in that movie as well.
"The fucken hippies aren't" is my favourite but there are so many great lines in this movie.
This was the perfect culmination of every single one of Tarantino's passions (cinema, television, and music) as well as a rich, vibrant and layered love letter to an era of Hollywood film history that is a far cry from the neutered, stale, and performatively diverse and agenda-driven drivel we've suffered through over the past 5 years or more. It's a brilliantly made and expertly written (as usual with Tarantino) masterwork that I could have sat with for an extra hour, really.
I really hope Tarantino actually ends up making Bounty Law as a limited series (he's written several episodes of the show) once he's done his 10th film.
This instantly became my favourite Tarantino film after I watched it the first time.
There's a fan theory that all of Tarantino's movies take place in the same alternate history, the point of divergence being "Inglourious Basterds." No spoilers if you haven't seen it, but let's just say that the gonzo heroics of that tale made the general public more accepting of depictions of ultraviolence in media, for example, which is why Rick Dalton could make "The 14 Fists of McCluskey" at a time when violence in movies IRL would have been far more sanitized. I think Tarantino has publically stated there is no such overarching thesis behind his craft, but he hasn't disavowed the theory either.
Arianna, you're by far my favorite reactor, I wish you showed up on this channel more often. You don't miss a thing, so damn smart and entertaining. You're not hard to look at either, which is always nice. 😏💯🔥👍
I watched this movie and didn’t love it, was bummed. Decided to watch it again for some reason and loved it so I watched it again!
That’s 3 times in a row 😂. It’s so good
I always looked at that last scene with the way it was shot and that music in the background as a split from reality and the beginning of a fairy tale. It's such a well known event and it is sort of like a "and they lived happily ever after" type of ending that was tragically taken away from those people.
Sharon still being alive at the end of this movie made me cry. When she asked if everyone was okay, if Rick was okay; because in real life, she wasnt okay.
Cliff Booth : And you were on a horsey! Yeah... you are?
Tex : I'm the Devil. And I'm here to do the Devil's business!
Cliff Booth : Nah, it was dumber than that. Something like Rex.
Sadie : God, shoot him, Tex!
Cliff Booth : Tex!
Cliff: 'You are real right? Tex: 'I'm as real as a donut mother f**ker.'😆🤣
One of her best reactions and chef kiss to the editor.
4:20 That's Kevin Smith's daughter, Harley Quinn Smith, obviously named after Joker's girlfriend.
A good amount of Quentin's friends' daughters show up here. Rumer Willis (Bruce's eldest) and Margaret Qualley (Andie McDowell's kid).
This movie is so good. Some people say it's boring but I think that was the point. Tarantino specifically focused on small stories that made you feel human instead of the massive explosion filled movies we're all too familiar with.
I would love to see a reaction to The Father! Anthony Hopkins became the oldest to ever win an oscar for best actor!
I’ll admit, it’s super super sad, and you’ll definitely cry.
Oh man, the end of that film made me sob in a way I haven't in a loooong time..
@@reservoirdude92 Same! I *never* cry during movies, but I was sobbing at that ending.
Yes! One of the best portrayals of Alzheimers/dementia I've ever seen. Anthony Hopkins kills it as always.
Not sure if you noticed but Damien Lewis (Steve McQueen actor) was also Major Dick Winters in Band of Brothers.
I actually liked this movie because Tarantino wanted to make this film a love letter towards Hollywood from the late 60's casting Brad Pitt & Leo DiCaprio in order to each one plays an actor and the other plays a stuntdouble, which I found fantastic.
Glad you liked this movie.
I loved it. Saw it in the theater when it came out.
This movie is not intended for younger audiences to enjoy. Those Manson girls were some of the scariest individuals on the planet back in the day. You can't really understand it if you didn't experience it.
yeah I listened to the stuff you should know podcast on this and didn't realize just how brutal they really were IRL. This movie made them seem like a joke kinda, but I get it
I’m too young to have experienced it but I’ve read everything there is to read about it. Knowing the gory details, watching this for the first time was such a nail biter until the end. When Tate shows up visibly pregnant I was just like, “oh noooo”.
This particular one might have been worth the risk of ritual dismemberment, after a pretty serious shave anyway.
After watching this I read Helter Skelter, which makes this movie even better. She definitely hasn’t seen a lot about the murders and Charles Manson prior to watching this.
@@SGOrion86 The more recent book Chaos is very interesting. It brings up a lot of problems with Helter Skelter.
@23:14 - me still wondering if Arianna is hip to this movie being related to Charlie Manson and the Manson Family Murders... and if I AM actually old as dirt.
@32:00 Feeling relieved and much better about myself.
18:02 is every introvert's conscious thoughts after saying something stupid when speaking to someone.
Arianna
One thing that I like about this is Taratino incorporates real actors in this alternate storyline of Hollywood such as that director, Sam Wanamaker who directed western TV series called Lancer. Sam did direct and act in his career including one movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1986's Raw Deal as Sam plays Mob Boss.
Such a great movie. Love to see your reaction. I had a lot of tension wondering if Quinntin was going to give us an altertered history or not.
What's hilarious to me is when they busted in the door at the end I said the exact same thing when I was working at Petco and somebody busted our back door open in front of me with a crowbar dropped it and said oh shit and ran away after I said. Can I help you?. We assume he was trying for the jewelry store, two doors down in one of those strip malls
This theater experience was something else! Like when the ending kicks into high gear everyone lost their minds! This movie is pure cinema and revels in the love of cinema.
It’s a shame that in a few short years the industry would be shown out for what it really is and has produced anything of great value since.
3:20 Chad been taking notes 😂😂😂
The best movie to simply vibe to
Tarantino wrote the novelization of this movie himself. He doesn't just stop where the movie ends, he goes on to describe what ends up happening in Rick's and Cliff's careers. He also goes into more detail about what happened on the boat between Cliff and his wife.
At 25:23 the shot of Dakota Fanning through the screen door mirrors exactly the shot of her in War of the Worlds looking through a screen door.
This really is one of my all time favorite Tarantino movies. I like a lot of people heard he was making a movie based on Manson, that it was going to be super graphic. And it wasn’t. Great alternative universe. Brad Pitt was the standout for me.
Such an amazing movie. My fav of 2019
Cliff did in fact kill his wife; it is revealed in the book 📕
Don’t cry in front of the Mexicans
Never have, never will 😂
I heard when the movie was shown in Mexico, audiences there had a good laugh.
Thanks Arianna
The way she says 'goooodd' is dope, since it really is each time, be it True Detective be it Once upon…
Go to Rome to make some westerns. This is a direct reference to Clint Eastwood. is an Italian film series consisting of three Spaghetti Western films directed by Sergio Leone. The films are titled A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). Their English versions were distributed by United Artists, while the Italian ones were distributed by Unidis and PEA
Fun fact:
The flamethrower is real. The line of it being too hot was Leo's actual reaction to it. Also one of the stuntmen playing the Nazis actually got melted to the ground. His fire suit melted from the flamethrower and they had to scrape him off the floor like a stuck pancake on the stove.
I love that Tarantino just started making revenge-fantasy alternate history films and everyone ran with it.
I love the driving scenes in this movie.
Down in Temecula, CA I used to work with the daughter of one of the Manson girls, she wrote a book about it. I don’t remember exactly which one was her mother I want to say it was Sadie but I’m not sure.
"You were on a horsey!" Is my favorite line. 🤣
Haha
Heck, I torched the last one.. 🔥
Leo acting about acting while hes acting is amazing
one of leos best performances imo
Great reaction. The Manson family was nightmare fuel for me as a kid. Rick telling the gd dirty fn hippies off then taking a swig of margarita out of the blender is so damn funny. Get the book if you're into this film...it's adds a lot of context to the film.
Arianna
Charles Manson was there at Polanski's home before Roman bought it from Terry Melcher. Link between Melcher and Manson doomed Sharon and her friends is Manson met Dennis Wilson, one of the original members of Beach Boys. Manson was also musician, and Dennis setup a meeting with Manson & Melcher for an audition for music contract. But Melcher declined to sign Manson. Non-signing angered Manson so much that he sent his family members to kill Melcher, then infamous killings of Sharon and her unborn baby, Jay and Abigail Folger plus her friend.
Taratino created this movie as what if?
I know this comment is gonna sound weird, but I took my family to Denver to see the Cubs vs the Rockies yesterday(we were there from out of state) and when we were walking down Blake St after the game let out I am about 99% positive my wife and I saw Arianna talking to someone outside of the Hayter's bar. My wife and I both looked at each other and knew, but we didn't say anything because we were booking it back to our hotel with our kids. We didn't want to be creepers either, just a really funny, small world that we live in. lol
Man this is my favorite reaction
There was a scene after titles. The funny one about Red Apple cigarettes.
