Django Unchained: Spaghetti Western The Hateful Eight: Spaghetti Western play Once Upon a Time: The making/behind the scenes of a Spaghetti Western 10th Film: Tarantino cooks a plate of Spaghetti
I just finished watching it for the first time thirty minutes ago. It was absolutely amazing! I went into it blind, only knowing Charles Manson was in this movie
@@Pantano63 i cant argue with anyone that thinks it sucked esp if they arent into comics, never read the comic, or never saw the movie. even if they did all three its fair to not be into it, as it was risky just to even make a sequel. i mainly think they did a good job of creating a believable world resulting from the events of the original. the nuances of the characters (like a black Dr Manhattan) are easy to dislike. it was a reach for sure. regardless they nailed the feel of it. and i think they nailed the most important aspects in an homage style of what worked in the original movie without copying it.
I pictured it as more of a Hollywood comeback story rather than a reflection of his career in the face of streaming. Tarantino isn't going away and his brand has fans, especially those seeking something different than MCU/Disney trash. But it's more about the rise and fall of actors and one man's quest to get back to the top, which is represented by the Polanski's. Tarantinos career has made actors careers take off and given many relevance as well as reinvigorated careers.
Interesting analysis. My first impression of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was that Tarantino has lost his storytelling touch. I now have a new appreciation for the film.
I read the movie as a reflection of Tarantino's own career, particularly in the "book summary scene." BUT, the ending and tonal shift depicts two older guys beating up a bunch of young hippies.. so I read the film as him saying, "sure I'm on my way out, but I'm still the best around."
I honestly don’t understand how some of you found this film boring, the acting was so gripping. It held my attention throughout, not everything he does needs to showcase violence/death every thirty seconds.
Also, the fact that Rock Dalto marries a woman from another country while filming something in that country reflects QT's story of how he met his Israeli wife. Then, when he came back to the US, he "reignited" the "pool party" (hollywood, with his movies...maybe) thus, he gets invited into the "bigger pool party"(QT still being invited by hollywoodand audience)...Idk maybe it's a stretch.
Tarentino was like 6 years old in 1969.... wtf does he know about how film was in that era? Why do all the ppl born in the 60s and 70s always bring up ppl and references from before they were alive?
I think what makes Tarantino movies great is they are very deliberate. So are you reading too much into it? I don't think you are noticing anything Tarantino didn't intentionally put in this movie, to begin with. Also if your critique helps you to enjoy the movie more you are not reading too much into it. You are just right - for you.
You are a keen observer of detail- I think you are correct. I did not like the film. ResDogs is my favorite. Not that I wanted a repeat but to continue in the spirit of doing a lot with very little, relying on story and the acting. Once the big-time Hollywood budget gets involved it loses the grit.
Tarantino always said he’d do ten films and retire. Supposedly he was going to do a Star Trek movie for his final movie but I dunno if that’s happening anymore
To answer your final question, why not both? I know answering a question where the answer is kind of a dick move but just because you read way too much into things doesn't mean that you're deductions are not right.
Kill Bill is a movie that's just made 'cause it's fun. You don't deliberately make a film about what you yourself consider the most pivotal point in Hollywood history without having something to say about movies.
One of the films Dalton made in Italy was called “Dyn-o-mite” directed by Antonio Margaretti. The director Antonio Margaretti was one of the pseudonyms the Bastards used to infiltrate the theatre in Inglorious Bastards.
Not just her but they got Kevin Smiths daughter, Clifton Collins Jr, Rumor Willis (Bruce Willis daughter) etc and etc There are a bunch of Hollywood kids in this
I can't believe that critic said Kill Bill had "no soul" either... to Tarantino... the director which creates films with the most soul that are instantly recognizable as a film of his
@@RhodokTribesman i know right??? but we know that this simply isn't true as a film critic myself, i can happily say that his movies are: masterfully made, have brilliant plots, have clever language and DEFIANTLY have a soul
Yeah I don't think I was the demographic for Tarantino's movie this time. Old Serial killers, male fantasies and classic hollywood, just wasn't that interesting to me but i know there's a lot of people interested in that stuff
@@XDarkBrotherhoodHD yeah, definitely my favorite one from 2019. Have watched it 4 times now and it only gets better. 2019 had lots of amazing movies, but only 2 of them managed to do that for me.
I keep having those "holy shit I'm 40" moments. Realizing Pulp Faction and Reservoir Dogs and True Romance are all over 25 years old is making my head spin.
I mean he says he likes to say that but isn’t opposed to making an 11th film or even going up to 15 he just won’t tell you that because he wants you wanting more without knowing if it will happen or not and he also said he’s interested in making a tv series so he doesn’t have to cut out scenes for a theatrical cut and can include content he initially wanted to and make his “films” 10 hours long and I think I heard him mention somewhere if he makes a tv show it might kill bill 3 how Vernitas daughter grows up and goes after Beatrix for revenge.
Sam Davies he said he’s not doing Star Trek anymore thank god ive heard they’re making a bounty law 10 episode mini series which I’m super excited for I loved the bounty law clips in once upon a time it reminded me of watching the rifleman with my dad when I was a kid
The standoff scene as you call it was a "once upon a time" for Cliff just like Sharon in the end. There was a stunt man named Shorty Shae who went to the Spahn Ranch who was killed by the guy Brad Pitt punches out, Steve Grogan. Shorty's body was found buried at the ranch in 1977. If you knew that going into the scene the hairs on the back of your head would have stood up. The relief of seeing Cliff just drive off is just like seeing Sharon live in the end. But before the credits end you realize that both Shorty and Sharon are really dead and it was just, once upon a time. The little "once upon a time" with Shorty parallels Cliff's little flashback in a flashback. In the middle of Cliff's flashback with Bruce Lee is a second flashback of him and the wife he supposedly killed named Natalie. (an obvious reference to Natalie Wood) Does this qualify as an inclusio? Don't know. But still very interesting.
Tarantino seems to be increasingly self aware and reflective in his recent films. Writers write what they know so it makes sense to me that he would parallel his personal meditative themes in Once Upon a Time... I hadn't been able to pinpoint what made this film feel so different from his other work and why I still liked it so much. It's great to have a reasonable explanation to put my finger on. Thanks Wisecrack. Keep up the good work.
My prediction: Tarantino will indeed only direct one more "Quentin Tarantino film." Then he'll keep working, but under a series of increasingly meta pseudonyms, not bothering to pretend it's not him but still never being "Quentin Tarantino" work.
I believe you are correct he always said he would make only 10 movies this only his 10th movie if you count both kill bills as two movies . In his head he already has one more script written
@@toniodotcom captain marvel to skrulls: You are bunch of shapeshifting hillbillies. I'll gut you out like Normandy beach. Talos: who the fuck is that chick. (Close up tracking shot of captain marvel from feet to face) Captain marvel: I am the judgment day.
Tarantino romanticizes Holloywood, but his lengthy, novelistic style is actually better suited for the streaming era. Netflix will gladly grant him any budget he desires with no stings attached. The exteneded version of The Hateful Eight, which is essentially the directors cut, is a Netlix exclusive that adds around 40 minutes of additional footage while splitting the film into four 1-hour chapters. The episodic structure makes the film much less of a slog to get through despite its longer length. The beauty of this potential new stage in his career is that he does not have to make a single compromise. Want to shoot in 75mm? No probem, Netflix will cover that. Want to make a 6-hour film? Go ahead. Hell, Netflix will even provide the funds for a limited-run road show. Tarantino's best years are still ahead of him if he can move past the nostalgia of a bygone era.
@MrTical91 I understand what you are trying to say, but it is demonstrably false. Netflix has proven to be a significant cultural influencer in the 21st century. Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Bird Box, say what you want about them, but there is no denying the effect they've had on popular culture. If something is popular on Netflix, you will know it. I don't care what your recommended suggestions are.
Both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time would have been better in episode format... All his movies since Kill Bill have begged this format. Unless he's willing to trim it up more favorably like Inglorious Basterds, then it's going to be a bit of a slog. The problem with both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time is there wasn't enough time to flesh out the characters. We didn't know much about the Domingre gang to care about their presence.. We didn't get to live much about Rick Dalton's background to care about his downfall. I've been saying this for a while, he needs to just move on and make bad ass short series
Someone asked Clint Eastwood, “ When are you going to retire”. His response was, “ When people stop watching my movies”....I’m pretty sure Quentin Tarantino feels the same way.
@@antoniobranch "59 people agree with me" Really this is your argument?? I don't care if a million people agree with you. I was listening to Quentin Tarantino's attitude towards making movies in the future. Are you like a kid or something? Tarantino has plans of making one more movie. I too would love more Tarantino flicks but this isn't the way it's gonna go. To announce retirement then turn around - just kidding it was just a ploy. - This kind of behavior would be weak and transparent - Certainly not Quentin's style, I think we should just accept him at his word. At least he still plans to write and do some tv stuff so not all bad.
@@antoniobranch Maybe lucid didn't use the best words possible, but he is correct. Tarantino himself said that he plans to make in total 10 films (he counts kill bill vol1,2 as one movie) so he plans to make another movie before he retires. Also you both talk like little kids, but because you can appreciate tarantino movies. i ll give you the benefit of the doubt :)
When Jules says "C'mon, let's get into character", I don't think it was intended to break the 4th wall. I think that the movie wants show to us that gang members are like normal guys talking about "conventional" stuff like foot massages and hamburgers. But when they are about to go on a mission they have to get into their gangster personality which is to be intimidating, strong and dominant. That's what Jules mean when he says they should get into character i. e their gangster character.
Double entendre. To have an actor say “let’s get into character” in a movie is a very clear and distinct word choice, it’s hard to imagine it being a coincidence for someone like Tarantino who works so much on and is known for his dialogue, and even harder to imagine that it was a coincidence and he didn’t notice the coincidence. Just because it means one thing doesn’t mean it can’t mean the other.
I think the problem isn't the introduction of streaming, movies survived the introduction of television, to me the problem is Hollywood's need to be the definitive movie epicenter, Hollywood not only thinks it's the only place where legitimate movies come from but has an obsessive need for that to be the case, hence why just about every movie not under a Hollywood studio banner, such as movies made by Laika or truly fantastic anime films like Your Name, is snubbed by Hollywood's own self indulgent award show The Oscars, as you mentioned in a previous video. I think what would help film, and subsequently Quentin Tarantino, is to stop Hollywood's monopolizing movies and to free film from the shackles of Hollywood dominance.
It’s just history repeating itself. Streaming gave new power to ideas nobody else would take from nobodies. These nobodies made a name out of themselves because some of those ideas were really good and just didn’t have enough financial support. This diversified media to a very big extent. Similarly to what happened in old Hollywood, risk taking was what gave streaming its power. And I feel like streaming will do the same eventually. It will only give power to those they know and snub the lesser known people with riskier ideas, and then something new will show up.
Well I don't know I mean parasite is the first foreign film in years and with no Hollywood involvement to win the Oscar for best picture so I don't think you're entirely right about that.
The neighbors of Di Caprio's character are not "next door", they're "up hill" at the very top with that. The declining star had a solid career but never made it that high, he might be very close but still it's unacessible. For about two and a half hours we learn his past, his present, assist at his rekindling for the craft and have a glimpse of his new futur BUT the only key to be invited to the very top, is five minutes, of sordid news... I saw that strong parallel with his works as a meta critic Tarantino address to the public : he can put all of his passion and care in showing his love for cinema, his films will only be on the conversation because of the gore. So he went in with a burst of furious, visceral violence. "You came for gore !? There it is !! Happy !!?" Viewers were like after the Mountain vs Oberyn fight : stunshocked. But somewhat worse : there is not a lot of people willing to talk about that movie, it took this channel a semester and you're the first one in my subscribed channels ! Now that he said his piece. I guess the next one will be à la Kojima's death stranding : his most unbiased, unburdened of the thoughts about what the public might think he thinks.
My wife hated this movie and I loved it. She was actually offended that I liked it so much. And she's an ex actress that has worked in over 60 films and shows, yet she hated Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Go figure.
*in a not too distant future* “The number one movie was called: Ass. And that's all it was for 90 mins. It won eight oscars that year including best screenplay"
You should have talked about the ending title card, that actually provides stuff that could have been analyzed in regards to this film being an ending to his career.
Has anybody asked Tarantino what he thinks about Scorsese? Still making movies at like 80 years old, and not bad ones, at that. Maybe he'll have a change of heart?
Dayvit78 it’s not about age it’s about the fact movies are losing significants, everyone used to watch movies now the only movies everyone talks about are the ones on Netflix or avengers
@@danielbras5123 Well that's true in that Tarantino (and other directors like Christopher Nolan) decry watching movies at home. You have to be in the theater to experience them the way the director intended.
So early I want to jump in first with my favorite line about this from another UA-camr because it's awesome (and I might get it slightly wrong): Quentin Tarantino has been playing with film canon since the beginning. But now that his own work has become canon, he's begun playing with himself.
@@JJJameson. I keep getting Pop Culture Detective and Renegade Cut confused in my memory catalog, I believe it's the latter. I recommend both, in any case.
According to him, his 10th and last movie have more chances to be some kind of epilogue to his filmography (Been "Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood" the climax) than a big final bang. He looks very uncertain about that right now so maybe he'll change his mind about it, but the final decision is on him. I only hope it's as good as he has been until this point.
Surprising because I wouldn’t call that film much of a climax. I would call it the buildup to the end and an acknowledgment that he will have to say goodbye.
Hopingover Leavesinfall it’s a good film. Come paired to the shit that other Directors and writers put out. Not bad. Just not as good as django, Hateful, THE BILLS. But it was good. And I’m glad he changed the ending. No one wanted to see the Manson family win ! I liked the movie. Because I appreciate movies. And it was a good story.
I absolutely love this take on OUATIH. It was already my favorite film of 2019 and among QTs best for me, but now I think I enjoy it even more. Great work as always!
@ it is not really a big deal and in the end i do not really care, but still i do not get who could consider this movie to be his/her favorite Movie. It is almost like, it was the first movie those people ever watched. There are so much amazing movies out there like "Man from earth" , "castaway on the moon", "Lord of the Rings" etc. which are more meaningfull/entertaining.
norwalk : You may be right, but many of his fan boys went berserk when Querentino made fun of Bruce Lee. You see, many Querentino fans are hard core Bruce Lee fans. So there may be a new dawn arising.
@@faisalmemon285 I dont know what he was thinking making that part. The most offensive part is thinking bruce Lee would actually do the same move twice
As an avid Tarantino fan, my issue with his later work has been lack of discipline. The man clearly adores film, the lore of his own films, every tiny detail of the world of his films, etc. However, the audience isn't AS interested as he is. Don't get me wrong - I have total respect for the sheer passion he has for building these stories. However, due to the reputation, power, influence, and well-earned respect he has in the film industry, it means nobody is reigning him back when he's deciding what and what not to put in the final cut of the film. Hateful Eight and this film contain 30-40 minutes-worth content that doesn't need to be there. I understand the need to linger on the tension or atmosphere of a scene, but he does this all the time now. It seems that all/most of the effort put into the film is the furniture rather than to pursue a clear plot and story. In Once Upon a Time, there are whole sequences that convey nothing about the story, plot, or character of the film. The driving-around-60s-LA sequences were cool at first, but not when they happen constantly AND outstay their welcome. It's a shame since I love EVERYTHING else about the film; the writing, the humour, the acting, the characters, the detail, etc. It's just SO baggy. Compare it to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs or even something like Django Unchained and you'll see how much this film meanders with so much excess fat that could be trimmed. I have only seen it once however so I'm going to rewatch it and perhaps knowing where the film is going will lessen the sensation of the film going nowhere.
The actor playing Dalton's director was hauntingly familiar to me, even with his grey hair. I had to resort to IMDB, and I laughed out loud when I read it was Nicholas Hammond! The guy starred as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in that dreadful TV show from the late '70s! Awesome that Tarantino cast him!
"Sales at the multiplex began to dwindle" Er...most theatres back then were single-screen. There were a few multi-screen cinemas, but they were not the industry norm until the 1970s.
I don't like the setting of this movie, it has a Jackie Brown feel to it. For me, it felt uninteresting and the characters were boring and the overall plot and environment didn't have that usual Tarintino alternative reality feeling to it. I know this isn't historically accurate, but it felt too normal.
I agree with your theory. I just wanted to comment because I'm 43 and my view of myself as a failed outsider with a view of both the establishment and rebel media as a scam makes life tough to have no faith in society or even pop culture; so, I really was very thankful that Hollywood gave me joy this year with a dominant return to why I was addicted to it in the first place - The Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Irishman were great! I know this pendulum swing to the right and away from the lame pc cult of the secular religion of virtue signaling is just as fake as pro wrestling but I'm thankful for it all the same. I think the next big change should be in collaborative filmmaking. I think we have the tech and motivation to make our own movies now. Instead of these big fails like Star Wars we can use the power of crowdsourcing and funding to write these stories as the audience and also to fund and produce them. Then when this model proves successful financially and culturally we can expand it into actually competing with the established world consumer slave order of the oligarchs. Media was used to program society. Then computers took over and we now have a techno subversive gulag corporate run world state that has more control over our behavior than we do. This is humanity's last chance to create our way toward freedom before a. i. takes over. What if the same creative genius used to pacify us with media was used to defend humanity against its overlords and our lack of will and discipline?
I think you're exactly right about his intentions, I just wish the film wasn't so boring. Also that Bruce Lee scene is unforgivable character assassination
Not really - Bruce Lee was known for being something of an arrogant person and he did challenge others to street fights (his unsanctioned bout with Wan Jack comes to mind), so I can see see him behaving the way he did in this film.

Time is very important happiest and saddest thing in human lives. our 90s generation when we almost 70 or 75 ,We will be remembered all these golden days of our lives .folks that's what time it is ..
Total and utter garbage. Tarantinos previous work is all genius, but this dross shows Tarantino trying to recreate his previous genres with zero success. It seems like he has lost the magic and is trying too hard to recapture it. It is just pure bovine excrement. It was so boring I actually fell asleep half way through. Di Caprio was brilliant as usual, but even he could not rescue this stupid, stupid, stupid plotless waste of time. It is incomprehensible how Tarantino has failed so badly here. Just goes to show even the greatest fall eventually. Sorry Quintin, this is just bad, bad cinema.... Its time to retire gracefully if this is what you will now be producing. Its actually so bad it looks like a very talentless first year film student made it.
4:10 Do you guys realize that, at the start of the movie, Al Pacino tells DiCaprio that he should go to Italy, because they're "filming a Spaghetti Western that could be something" - but then nothing comes out from it because DiCaprio turns down the role? Since this was early 1969, that means the film was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (arguably, one of the greatest, if not _the_ greatest Western ever created). - Something that would have for sure revitalized his career.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly came out in 1966. So your theory is unfortunately a bit off, but I agree that GBU is the greatest Western ever created. On that point your right on the money!
Is it just me who didn't like the movie or have rarely liked a tarantino movie. Maybe, I don't know what to look forward to in tarantino movies. Tbh, I struggled to stay awake throughout the movie which is to say I found it really bland and boring and wasn't really headed anywhere. Can someone please tell me what is it that I am missing out on?
Clickbait and not so insightful. I know wisecrack is a team, but lately their uploads have been lazy and uninteresting. Lack of Jared is not the issue. Unless Jared's the only one who has good ideas for essays.
Quentin always has many layers to everything, yes all these things are very visible, but there's much much more. He's also finally laughing in the face of the people behind the Hollywood's curtains, the final act of the movie is his mockery of the Hollywood's devotion to the Gnosticism which is present in almost every major production, every single frame and words are making fun of their beliefs. It's very deep into the subtext but if you know the principles, you will see it pretty clear. Quentin has always been the freest and uncorrupted thinker and writer in that place. This is a true goodbye to this industry. I cannot wait to see his last film, it's gonna be something really genius.
The darkest scene in this film was the one where they played, "Baby, you're out of time." Seeing a soon to be dead (in real life) pregnant Sharon Tate eating dinner really got to me when I re-watched it.
mark merzweiler It’s kinda like Romeo and Juliet or the Titanic.....we all know the true story and we all want it to be “once upon a time.” Did you know Sharon’s baby boy is buried with her? She’s holding him in her arms.
Brilliant point by Tarantino, will indy movies matter in fifteen years. The generation below mine were spoiled by video games, and then you tubes. They know nothing of movies or care to. A whole generation of morons that don't know of books or movies. How does one know of the world and themselves by only video games? It's sad.
i loved once upon a time, its my second favorite Tarantino film, but for the life of me i couldn't really explain why, thank you for explaining to me exactly why i loved this film so much
I get that same feeling too and I wanna know why, I think it might because he had this true horrible story and put these two made up characters in it to save the day
This movie was terrible. I love Tarantino movies, and I was so stoked for this one, holy balls, did it suck. That's not an opinion either, thats just fact.
I used be a firm lover of Tarantino's films until I learnt he is a A-D-R-E-N-O-C-H-R-O-M-E drinker and loves drinking babies blood etc, very sick puppy, LOCK THEM ALL UP - Hellywood.
My wife asked me what the point of the hippie murder scene was, and I didn't know. I read up on some of the things and now I think that the screaming of the murderers can be the screaming of the author as he knows what actually happened that night long ago, while the happy end was just that, a made up happy end, the sweet girl lives, the protagonist has hope for the future, and the audience remembers them, one fictional, one real, happy.
I didn't think that this was one of Tarantino's best films, but every film of his is worth watching. The early scene in Inglorious Bastards, where the SS officer is calmly talking with the French farmer is to me, one of the great masterpiece moments of cinema. The buildup of tension, with calm dialogue and quiet visuals, is stunning in its impact. For that reason alone I will pay to see whatever this master director comes out with in the future.
I'd like to add only one thing. I don't believe the question is answered. The end of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is pure wisheful thinking as it relies deeply on a subvert of History. Sharon Tate died and the stars of the past WERE forgotten. Tarantino might wish to remain but I think his time will be passed, as all good things.
It was definitely a self reflection on Tarantino's career and himself, but I also don't like a self reflection more than his movies. Probably my least favorite Tarantino, but still a cool film.
I would put it above Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight and Django Unchained myself. But I'm a sucker for the kind of nostalgic intent that Tarantino was trying to achieve in this movie so...
@@Scorch428 No... There was an obvious meta to his career going on throughout the movie, I think he confirmed this himself to, he referenced every one of his movies and Leo was supposed to be him feeling slowly more out of touch in today's age of film

@@Pantano63 i cant argue with anyone that thinks it sucked esp if they arent into comics, never read the comic, or never saw the movie. even if they did all three its fair to not be into it, as it was risky just to even make a sequel. i mainly think they did a good job of creating a believable world resulting from the events of the original. the nuances of the characters (like a black Dr Manhattan) are easy to dislike. it was a reach for sure. regardless they nailed the feel of it. and i think they nailed the most important aspects in an homage style of what worked in the original movie without copying it.
@@robi6317 I love the comics and I liked the film, but the tv series sucks and isn't Watchmen.
I pictured it as more of a Hollywood comeback story rather than a reflection of his career in the face of streaming. Tarantino isn't going away and his brand has fans, especially those seeking something different than MCU/Disney trash. But it's more about the rise and fall of actors and one man's quest to get back to the top, which is represented by the Polanski's. Tarantinos career has made actors careers take off and given many relevance as well as reinvigorated careers.
Interesting analysis. My first impression of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was that Tarantino has lost his storytelling touch. I now have a new appreciation for the film.
I read the movie as a reflection of Tarantino's own career, particularly in the "book summary scene." BUT, the ending and tonal shift depicts two older guys beating up a bunch of young hippies.. so I read the film as him saying, "sure I'm on my way out, but I'm still the best around."
I honestly don’t understand how some of you found this film boring, the acting was so gripping. It held my attention throughout, not everything he does needs to showcase violence/death every thirty seconds.
Great content man!!
Also, the fact that Rock Dalto marries a woman from another country while filming something in that country reflects QT's story of how he met his Israeli wife. Then, when he came back to the US, he "reignited" the "pool party" (hollywood, with his movies...maybe) thus, he gets invited into the "bigger pool party"(QT still being invited by hollywoodand audience)...Idk maybe it's a stretch.
This movie was fkn great. The 2 minutes of insane violence absolutely made up for the overall mellowness of the movie. I loved it.
The last act feels like tarantino was just like, "you know what, fuck it, il stick around but I won't play by your rules"
Tarentino was like 6 years old in 1969.... wtf does he know about how film was in that era?
Why do all the ppl born in the 60s and 70s always bring up ppl and references from before they were alive?

@Akira Kurosawa dude come on man, they said family issues.
I think what makes Tarantino movies great is they are very deliberate. So are you reading too much into it? I don't think you are noticing anything Tarantino didn't intentionally put in this movie, to begin with. Also if your critique helps you to enjoy the movie more you are not reading too much into it. You are just right - for you.
You are a keen observer of detail- I think you are correct.
I did not like the film.
ResDogs is my favorite. Not that I wanted a repeat but to continue in the spirit of doing a lot with very little, relying on story and the acting.
Once the big-time Hollywood budget gets involved it loses the grit.
If Tarantino has only one film left I hope it is his take on the science fiction genre.
Who else noticed the cameo by Jack Stephen. Or should I say jack stevonivich..
Tarantino always said he’d do ten films and retire. Supposedly he was going to do a Star Trek movie for his final movie but I dunno if that’s happening anymore
What garbage to piss on the Tate family like that in a GARBAGE movie.
To answer your final question, why not both? I know answering a question where the answer is kind of a dick move but just because you read way too much into things doesn't mean that you're deductions are not right.
Tarantino after watching this: I just made it cause it was fun....
My high school grade 12 English teacher would be proud of this review.....Tho yeah, I think you're right :)..He is a genius though too
Kill Bill is a movie that's just made 'cause it's fun. You don't deliberately make a film about what you yourself consider the most pivotal point in Hollywood history without having something to say about movies.
Na.
no shit.. reading a bit too much into things.
Word. Breaking shit down is mental masturbation.
One of the films Dalton made in Italy was called “Dyn-o-mite” directed by Antonio Margaretti. The director Antonio Margaretti was one of the pseudonyms the Bastards used to infiltrate the theatre in Inglorious Bastards.
Yes
Margar-eeeee-ti
I saw that also.. sadly, it was the highlight of the movie.. 😪
Antonio Margheriti was a real director, which was referred to in IB and now, OUATIH.
Nice. Lol
I can’t believe they left out the fact that Uma Thurman’s daughter played a small role in the film, the girl that ditched the Manson’s.
Also the bride( uma thurman) from kill bill. The daughter b.b is in it. The girl who sells the acid laced cigarette.
Maya Hawke
The icecream girl from stranger things
That was uma Thurman's daughter?
Not just her but they got Kevin Smiths daughter, Clifton Collins Jr, Rumor Willis (Bruce Willis daughter) etc and etc
There are a bunch of Hollywood kids in this
“But why?”
“BECAUSE IT’S SO MUCH FUN JANET”
Don't fuck*ng janet me !!

"BECAUSE IT"S SO MUCH FUN, JANET. GET IT."
I can't believe that critic said Kill Bill had "no soul" either... to Tarantino... the director which creates films with the most soul that are instantly recognizable as a film of his
@@RhodokTribesman i know right??? but we know that this simply isn't true
as a film critic myself, i can happily say that his movies are: masterfully made, have brilliant plots, have clever language and DEFIANTLY have a soul

As a person who didn't really care for the film... you guys make me want to see it again. I think your commentary on the film is spot on.
Jason Ryan one of my all time favourites now, goes higher and higher every watch
I loved the film on first viewing. Di Caprio was awesome. A different role for him that I haven't seen before. Brilliant.
My exact sentiment I got from this video
Yeah I don't think I was the demographic for Tarantino's movie this time. Old Serial killers, male fantasies and classic hollywood, just wasn't that interesting to me but i know there's a lot of people interested in that stuff
@@XDarkBrotherhoodHD yeah, definitely my favorite one from 2019. Have watched it 4 times now and it only gets better. 2019 had lots of amazing movies, but only 2 of them managed to do that for me.
Rick sums the movie up: "One pool party from the next Polanski film". He was 100% right. That pool party was HIS pool party ft. flaming hippie.
Holy shit!!!!!
Talk about hidden foreshadow
Wow,i never thought that in the end he was right about that one,,pool party" 😂
I haven't seen this film, but why the hell didn't the hippie woman (Tate?), go under water? She's in a fucking pool. Is it some kind of joke?
Damasta HH Steve McQueen was referencing that. In the movie universe Sharon survives and he fucks it up
I keep having those "holy shit I'm 40" moments. Realizing Pulp Faction and Reservoir Dogs and True Romance are all over 25 years old is making my head spin.
Killing Zoe, From dusk till dawn, El Mariachi... When I was 18 years old, and Tarantino was coming big together with R. Rodriguez.
I saw From Dusk Till Dawn in the theater, with my dad, when I was 12. My mom was pissed 🤣
Yeah I'm in the same Boat you are Can't believe that this is the Forty year lol
I'm born in 70. I'd love to be 40 again. Lol! Kill Bill 1&2 changed my perspective on what a good film is. Pulp Fiction too. 😵👍
Amen, brother.
I hope Tarantino is lying about making just 1 more film .
His last film will be the one he wins an Oscar for directing.
He has stated he has rough outline of TV series.
I mean he says he likes to say that but isn’t opposed to making an 11th film or even going up to 15 he just won’t tell you that because he wants you wanting more without knowing if it will happen or not and he also said he’s interested in making a tv series so he doesn’t have to cut out scenes for a theatrical cut and can include content he initially wanted to and make his “films” 10 hours long and I think I heard him mention somewhere if he makes a tv show it might kill bill 3 how Vernitas daughter grows up and goes after Beatrix for revenge.
Well, he wants to write books/scripts, and has also mentioned mini-series/tv work too. If it's Star Trek I'll be massively disappointed...
Sam Davies he said he’s not doing Star Trek anymore thank god ive heard they’re making a bounty law 10 episode mini series which I’m super excited for I loved the bounty law clips in once upon a time it reminded me of watching the rifleman with my dad when I was a kid
The standoff scene as you call it was a "once upon a time" for Cliff just like Sharon in the end.
There was a stunt man named Shorty Shae who went to the Spahn Ranch who was killed by the guy Brad Pitt punches out, Steve Grogan. Shorty's body was found buried at the ranch in 1977.
If you knew that going into the scene the hairs on the back of your head would have stood up. The relief of seeing Cliff just drive off is just like seeing Sharon live in the end.
But before the credits end you realize that both Shorty and Sharon are really dead and it was just, once upon a time.
The little "once upon a time" with Shorty parallels Cliff's little flashback in a flashback. In the middle of Cliff's flashback with Bruce Lee is a second flashback of him and the wife he supposedly killed named Natalie. (an obvious reference to Natalie Wood)
Does this qualify as an inclusio? Don't know. But still very interesting.
I did not know that, that changes the whole scene completely.
His wife's name is Billie. Her sister's name is Natalie. Hence, there still is a Natalie Wood reference which was ad libbed by Rebecca Gayheart
@@Themin1
Even better, as Billie is not the star to Natalie just like Cliff is not the star to Jake. Thanks for the clarification.
@K9. Jesus Christ. That's the edited version?
It's not 'interesting' at all.
And his name was Shea.

Here's a tip for my fellow youtube viewers: If the title is ASKING you if something happened or will happen, the answer is always no.
It's almost like clickbait follows a formula :)
Tarantino seems to be increasingly self aware and reflective in his recent films. Writers write what they know so it makes sense to me that he would parallel his personal meditative themes in Once Upon a Time... I hadn't been able to pinpoint what made this film feel so different from his other work and why I still liked it so much. It's great to have a reasonable explanation to put my finger on. Thanks Wisecrack. Keep up the good work.
My prediction: Tarantino will indeed only direct one more "Quentin Tarantino film." Then he'll keep working, but under a series of increasingly meta pseudonyms, not bothering to pretend it's not him but still never being "Quentin Tarantino" work.
He might still write scripts or direct small scenes in others movies like he has before
I believe you are correct he always said he would make only 10 movies this only his 10th movie if you count both kill bills as two movies . In his head he already has one more script written
Tarantino will direct a Marvel film... He should have directed Captain Marvel.
Haha that would be cool

Tarantino romanticizes Holloywood, but his lengthy, novelistic style is actually better suited for the streaming era. Netflix will gladly grant him any budget he desires with no stings attached. The exteneded version of The Hateful Eight, which is essentially the directors cut, is a Netlix exclusive that adds around 40 minutes of additional footage while splitting the film into four 1-hour chapters. The episodic structure makes the film much less of a slog to get through despite its longer length.
The beauty of this potential new stage in his career is that he does not have to make a single compromise. Want to shoot in 75mm? No probem, Netflix will cover that. Want to make a 6-hour film? Go ahead. Hell, Netflix will even provide the funds for a limited-run road show. Tarantino's best years are still ahead of him if he can move past the nostalgia of a bygone era.
Tyrone Slothdrop agree!
@MrTical91
I understand what you are trying to say, but it is demonstrably false. Netflix has proven to be a significant cultural influencer in the 21st century. Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Bird Box, say what you want about them, but there is no denying the effect they've had on popular culture. If something is popular on Netflix, you will know it. I don't care what your recommended suggestions are.
Both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time would have been better in episode format... All his movies since Kill Bill have begged this format. Unless he's willing to trim it up more favorably like Inglorious Basterds, then it's going to be a bit of a slog. The problem with both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time is there wasn't enough time to flesh out the characters. We didn't know much about the Domingre gang to care about their presence.. We didn't get to live much about Rick Dalton's background to care about his downfall. I've been saying this for a while, he needs to just move on and make bad ass short series
@RonBear
Fair enough, RonBear. Such an iconic format warrants the correction.
Came here to say the same thing. Now is the time for him to shine even brighter than before. His content fits the current system well.
Someone asked Clint Eastwood, “ When are you going to retire”. His response was, “ When people stop watching my movies”....I’m pretty sure Quentin Tarantino feels the same way.
No he doesn't feel that way at all - Sorry dude do your homework.
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Do your homework....Oh yeah, 59 people agree with me.
@@antoniobranch "59 people agree with me" Really this is your argument?? I don't care if a million people agree with you. I was listening to Quentin Tarantino's attitude towards making movies in the future. Are you like a kid or something? Tarantino has plans of making one more movie. I too would love more Tarantino flicks but this isn't the way it's gonna go. To announce retirement then turn around - just kidding it was just a ploy. - This kind of behavior would be weak and transparent
- Certainly not Quentin's style, I think we should just accept him at his word.
At least he still plans to write and do some tv stuff so not all bad.
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Like I said, "I'm pretty sure", "NOT" sure. Kid.
@@antoniobranch Maybe lucid didn't use the best words possible, but he is correct. Tarantino himself said that he plans to make in total 10 films (he counts kill bill vol1,2 as one movie) so he plans to make another movie before he retires. Also you both talk like little kids, but because you can appreciate tarantino movies. i ll give you the benefit of the doubt :)

Thanks Bojack

RIP sad horsie.
@Stellvia Hoenheim woah, also false
@Stellvia Hoenheim Bojack horseman is one of the deepest and most devastatingly depressing things ever in television
@Stellvia Hoenheim minority opinion moron .
When Jules says "C'mon, let's get into character", I don't think it was intended to break the 4th wall. I think that the movie wants show to us that gang members are like normal guys talking about "conventional" stuff like foot massages and hamburgers. But when they are about to go on a mission they have to get into their gangster personality which is to be intimidating, strong and dominant. That's what Jules mean when he says they should get into character i. e their gangster character.
Yeah, I thought that was obvious.
Double entendre. To have an actor say “let’s get into character” in a movie is a very clear and distinct word choice, it’s hard to imagine it being a coincidence for someone like Tarantino who works so much on and is known for his dialogue, and even harder to imagine that it was a coincidence and he didn’t notice the coincidence. Just because it means one thing doesn’t mean it can’t mean the other.
It's an obvious play on that and the fact that they're in a movie. It's both. That's the joke.
Alexander uhhhh duh what else was is supposed to be interpreted into?
Gabriel Coelho no it’s not. That makes no sense. This isn’t Malcolm in the middle
I think the problem isn't the introduction of streaming, movies survived the introduction of television, to me the problem is Hollywood's need to be the definitive movie epicenter, Hollywood not only thinks it's the only place where legitimate movies come from but has an obsessive need for that to be the case, hence why just about every movie not under a Hollywood studio banner, such as movies made by Laika or truly fantastic anime films like Your Name, is snubbed by Hollywood's own self indulgent award show The Oscars, as you mentioned in a previous video. I think what would help film, and subsequently Quentin Tarantino, is to stop Hollywood's monopolizing movies and to free film from the shackles of Hollywood dominance.
It’s just history repeating itself. Streaming gave new power to ideas nobody else would take from nobodies. These nobodies made a name out of themselves because some of those ideas were really good and just didn’t have enough financial support. This diversified media to a very big extent. Similarly to what happened in old Hollywood, risk taking was what gave streaming its power. And I feel like streaming will do the same eventually. It will only give power to those they know and snub the lesser known people with riskier ideas, and then something new will show up.
It's all a cycle and that's life.
Well I don't know I mean parasite is the first foreign film in years and with no Hollywood involvement to win the Oscar for best picture so I don't think you're entirely right about that.
Parasite winning best picture undermines your point

Bloody genius amazing analysis! That was deep!
The neighbors of Di Caprio's character are not "next door", they're "up hill" at the very top with that. The declining star had a solid career but never made it that high, he might be very close but still it's unacessible. For about two and a half hours we learn his past, his present, assist at his rekindling for the craft and have a glimpse of his new futur BUT the only key to be invited to the very top, is five minutes, of sordid news... I saw that strong parallel with his works as a meta critic Tarantino address to the public : he can put all of his passion and care in showing his love for cinema, his films will only be on the conversation because of the gore. So he went in with a burst of furious, visceral violence. "You came for gore !? There it is !! Happy !!?" Viewers were like after the Mountain vs Oberyn fight : stunshocked. But somewhat worse : there is not a lot of people willing to talk about that movie, it took this channel a semester and you're the first one in my subscribed channels !
Now that he said his piece. I guess the next one will be à la Kojima's death stranding : his most unbiased, unburdened of the thoughts about what the public might think he thinks.
it will be the first strand type movie.

As much as I enjoyed the video, tenuous is the word that springs to mind.
I deffinately sensed this feeling of melancholic retrospection while watching the film. I think you guys are spot on
Has anybody asked Tarantino what he thinks about Scorsese? Still making movies at like 80 years old, and not bad ones, at that. Maybe he'll have a change of heart?
Dayvit78 it’s not about age it’s about the fact movies are losing significants, everyone used to watch movies now the only movies everyone talks about are the ones on Netflix or avengers
@@danielbras5123 Well that's true in that Tarantino (and other directors like Christopher Nolan) decry watching movies at home. You have to be in the theater to experience them the way the director intended.
Actually tarantino has no business talking about Scorsese and Nolan. Complely overrated.
So early I want to jump in first with my favorite line about this from another UA-camr because it's awesome (and I might get it slightly wrong):
Quentin Tarantino has been playing with film canon since the beginning. But now that his own work has become canon, he's begun playing with himself.
That's a pretty cool quote. Do you remember that youtuber's name?
@@JJJameson. I keep getting Pop Culture Detective and Renegade Cut confused in my memory catalog, I believe it's the latter. I recommend both, in any case.
huh. phrasing.
According to him, his 10th and last movie have more chances to be some kind of epilogue to his filmography (Been "Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood" the climax) than a big final bang. He looks very uncertain about that right now so maybe he'll change his mind about it, but the final decision is on him. I only hope it's as good as he has been until this point.
Surprising because I wouldn’t call that film much of a climax. I would call it the buildup to the end and an acknowledgment that he will have to say goodbye.
Hopingover Leavesinfall it’s a good film. Come paired to the shit that other Directors and writers put out. Not bad. Just not as good as django, Hateful, THE BILLS. But it was good. And I’m glad he changed the ending. No one wanted to see the Manson family win ! I liked the movie. Because I appreciate movies. And it was a good story.
He just had a kid, so it might be a while before we see another film of his.
Jefferson Sousa i heard he was doing a star trek movie i can't imagine him ending his career with that, though if he dose waita subvert expectations
Lee Phillips oh no. Maybe something to do with space. But I doubt he does Star Trek. That’s a remake.
I absolutely love this take on OUATIH. It was already my favorite film of 2019 and among QTs best for me, but now I think I enjoy it even more. Great work as always!
This was one of my favourite Tarantino movies. Thanks for the in depth analysis.
As long as it is not your favorite film, that is ok.
@ it is not really a big deal and in the end i do not really care, but still i do not get who could consider this movie to be his/her favorite Movie.
It is almost like, it was the first movie those people ever watched.
There are so much amazing movies out there like "Man from earth" , "castaway on the moon", "Lord of the Rings" etc. which are more meaningfull/entertaining.
End of Tarantino......hopefully! I can’t stand his feet fetish-revisionist history anymore. The guys is his own biggest fan! Humble much?
He has too many fan boys who will say they love his movies no matter how terrible they are
norwalk : You may be right, but many of his fan boys went berserk when Querentino made fun of Bruce Lee. You see, many Querentino fans are hard core Bruce Lee fans. So there may be a new dawn arising.
@@faisalmemon285 I dont know what he was thinking making that part. The most offensive part is thinking bruce Lee would actually do the same move twice
As an avid Tarantino fan, my issue with his later work has been lack of discipline. The man clearly adores film, the lore of his own films, every tiny detail of the world of his films, etc. However, the audience isn't AS interested as he is. Don't get me wrong - I have total respect for the sheer passion he has for building these stories. However, due to the reputation, power, influence, and well-earned respect he has in the film industry, it means nobody is reigning him back when he's deciding what and what not to put in the final cut of the film. Hateful Eight and this film contain 30-40 minutes-worth content that doesn't need to be there. I understand the need to linger on the tension or atmosphere of a scene, but he does this all the time now. It seems that all/most of the effort put into the film is the furniture rather than to pursue a clear plot and story. In Once Upon a Time, there are whole sequences that convey nothing about the story, plot, or character of the film. The driving-around-60s-LA sequences were cool at first, but not when they happen constantly AND outstay their welcome. It's a shame since I love EVERYTHING else about the film; the writing, the humour, the acting, the characters, the detail, etc. It's just SO baggy. Compare it to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs or even something like Django Unchained and you'll see how much this film meanders with so much excess fat that could be trimmed. I have only seen it once however so I'm going to rewatch it and perhaps knowing where the film is going will lessen the sensation of the film going nowhere.
MeanMisterWalrus 100% agree . Reservoir dogs and pulp fiction have zero fat on them , his last 4 movies have been very bloated and self indulgent.
Tarantino being left behind? If there’s a current director that has more of a buzz around anything he releases, I cannot think of one.
"Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb." -- Bob Dylan
The actor playing Dalton's director was hauntingly familiar to me, even with his grey hair. I had to resort to IMDB, and I laughed out loud when I read it was Nicholas Hammond! The guy starred as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in that dreadful TV show from the late '70s! Awesome that Tarantino cast him!
Man towards the end I was really worried for cliff
"Sales at the multiplex began to dwindle"
Er...most theatres back then were single-screen. There were a few multi-screen cinemas, but they were not the industry norm until the 1970s.
Honestly thought the reflection on Tarrintos carrer was the main purpose behind the whole movie.
Angrypolarbear16 I agree.

Wow....I need to watch this movie again..I hated it the first time, but what you're saying makes a lot of sense. Thanks Wisecrack
"[Manson Family is] the world's most unsavory cult"

I don't like the setting of this movie, it has a Jackie Brown feel to it.
For me, it felt uninteresting and the characters were boring and the overall plot and environment didn't have that usual Tarintino alternative reality feeling to it. I know this isn't historically accurate, but it felt too normal.
I liked this movie more than any movie he ever made. His movies always had good scenes but all and all I didnt find them too good as a whole.
You must like submarine movies.
Shit ain't better than pulp fiction
I agree with your theory.
I just wanted to comment because I'm 43 and my view of myself as a failed outsider with a view of both the establishment and rebel media as a scam makes life tough to have no faith in society or even pop culture; so, I really was very thankful that Hollywood gave me joy this year with a dominant return to why I was addicted to it in the first place - The Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Irishman were great!
I know this pendulum swing to the right and away from the lame pc cult of the secular religion of virtue signaling is just as fake as pro wrestling but I'm thankful for it all the same.
I think the next big change should be in collaborative filmmaking.
I think we have the tech and motivation to make our own movies now. Instead of these big fails like Star Wars we can use the power of crowdsourcing and funding to write these stories as the audience and also to fund and produce them.
Then when this model proves successful financially and culturally we can expand it into actually competing with the established world consumer slave order of the oligarchs.
Media was used to program society. Then computers took over and we now have a techno subversive gulag corporate run world state that has more control over our behavior than we do.
This is humanity's last chance to create our way toward freedom before a. i. takes over.
What if the same creative genius used to pacify us with media was used to defend humanity against its overlords and our lack of will and discipline?
I actually really enjoyed the film. I never thought about it this way, though. Great analysis!
I think you're exactly right about his intentions, I just wish the film wasn't so boring. Also that Bruce Lee scene is unforgivable character assassination
@marsjacobvolta you mean the way he could do push ups on his fingers or how he could play pong with nunchucks?
Not really - Bruce Lee was known for being something of an arrogant person and he did challenge others to street fights (his unsanctioned bout with Wan Jack comes to mind), so I can see see him behaving the way he did in this film.
I've never thought this way about this movie, interesting points.

I sooo loved this movie before this video. Now after, its one of my favourite of the past decade
Total and utter garbage. Tarantinos previous work is all genius, but this dross shows Tarantino trying to recreate his previous genres with zero success. It seems like he has lost the magic and is trying too hard to recapture it. It is just pure bovine excrement. It was so boring I actually fell asleep half way through. Di Caprio was brilliant as usual, but even he could not rescue this stupid, stupid, stupid plotless waste of time. It is incomprehensible how Tarantino has failed so badly here. Just goes to show even the greatest fall eventually. Sorry Quintin, this is just bad, bad cinema.... Its time to retire gracefully if this is what you will now be producing. Its actually so bad it looks like a very talentless first year film student made it.
4:10 Do you guys realize that, at the start of the movie, Al Pacino tells DiCaprio that he should go to Italy, because they're "filming a Spaghetti Western that could be something" - but then nothing comes out from it because DiCaprio turns down the role?
Since this was early 1969, that means the film was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (arguably, one of the greatest, if not _the_ greatest Western ever created). - Something that would have for sure revitalized his career.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly came out in 1966.
So your theory is unfortunately a bit off, but I agree that GBU is the greatest Western ever created. On that point your right on the money!
Dudewat Good, bad and ugly was shot in 1966 bro
Fuck :(
I thought Leo's character had certain parallels to Clint's career.
Is it just me who didn't like the movie or have rarely liked a tarantino movie.
Maybe, I don't know what to look forward to in tarantino movies.

Quentin always has many layers to everything, yes all these things are very visible, but there's much much more. He's also finally laughing in the face of the people behind the Hollywood's curtains, the final act of the movie is his mockery of the Hollywood's devotion to the Gnosticism which is present in almost every major production, every single frame and words are making fun of their beliefs. It's very deep into the subtext but if you know the principles, you will see it pretty clear. Quentin has always been the freest and uncorrupted thinker and writer in that place. This is a true goodbye to this industry.
I cannot wait to see his last film, it's gonna be something really genius.
This gave me a whole new perspective on the movie 🍿
The darkest scene in this film was the one where they played, "Baby, you're out of time." Seeing a soon to be dead (in real life) pregnant Sharon Tate eating dinner really got to me when I re-watched it.
mark merzweiler It’s kinda like Romeo and Juliet or the Titanic.....we all know the true story and we all want it to be “once upon a time.” Did you know Sharon’s baby boy is buried with her? She’s holding him in her arms.
Brilliant point by Tarantino, will indy movies matter in fifteen years. The generation below mine were spoiled by video games, and then you tubes. They know nothing of movies or care to. A whole generation of morons that don't know of books or movies. How does one know of the world and themselves by only video games? It's sad.
i loved once upon a time, its my second favorite Tarantino film, but for the life of me i couldn't really explain why, thank you for explaining to me exactly why i loved this film so much
I get that same feeling too and I wanna know why, I think it might because he had this true horrible story and put these two made up characters in it to save the day
This movie was terrible. I love Tarantino movies, and I was so stoked for this one, holy balls, did it suck. That's not an opinion either, thats just fact.
Where’s Jared? I miss Jared 😥
Still on leave
Does anyone know what happened to 'Thug Notes?' Or 'Earthling Cinema?'
@@user-ot2nh8qb7d They're on Amazon Prime, bud. They actually pay, unlike UA-cam/Amazon.
Fuck Jared.
"indisputably a masterpiece"!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! Truly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Ever.
Lol. OK Mr Edgey McEdgerton of Edgytown, Edgeville
Okay, I disagree, but I'd be interesting to hear what you disliked, other than the length.
I used be a firm lover of Tarantino's films until I learnt he is a A-D-R-E-N-O-C-H-R-O-M-E drinker and loves drinking babies blood etc, very sick puppy, LOCK THEM ALL UP - Hellywood.
All of his movies was a cry for HELP!!!!
watched the movie 4 times in cinema, really loved it!
Xi Jinping keep watching. 20+
My wife asked me what the point of the hippie murder scene was, and I didn't know. I read up on some of the things and now I think that the screaming of the murderers can be the screaming of the author as he knows what actually happened that night long ago, while the happy end was just that, a made up happy end, the sweet girl lives, the protagonist has hope for the future, and the audience remembers them, one fictional, one real, happy.
Thank you for explaining what this film was about. I was really in the dark when I saw it in theaters (ba dum tss).
I didn't think that this was one of Tarantino's best films, but every film of his is worth watching. The early scene in Inglorious Bastards, where the SS officer is calmly talking with the French farmer is to me, one of the great masterpiece moments of cinema. The buildup of tension, with calm dialogue and quiet visuals, is stunning in its impact. For that reason alone I will pay to see whatever this master director comes out with in the future.
I'd like to add only one thing.
I don't believe the question is answered. The end of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is pure wisheful thinking as it relies deeply on a subvert of History. Sharon Tate died and the stars of the past WERE forgotten. Tarantino might wish to remain but I think his time will be passed, as all good things.
so in essence the movie was just as self obsessed as it felt when i was watching it
It was definitely a self reflection on Tarantino's career and himself, but I also don't like a self reflection more than his movies. Probably my least favorite Tarantino, but still a cool film.
I would put it above Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight and Django Unchained myself. But I'm a sucker for the kind of nostalgic intent that Tarantino was trying to achieve in this movie so...
@@guibox3 that's fair, I was a sucker for the Basterds aesthetic, I loved Jackie Brown, Django so many moments... Hateful Eight agreed may be worse
Tarantino's 1969 movie career? When he was 6? And knew all about cinema of the time period?
@@Scorch428 No... There was an obvious meta to his career going on throughout the movie, I think he confirmed this himself to, he referenced every one of his movies and Leo was supposed to be him feeling slowly more out of touch in today's age of film
This was one of the worse movie that I have ever seen !!!
And I love Quentin Tarantino movies !!!
