My favorite line is
-Is everybody ok?
-Not the hippies.
Mine was the credits Hell would be a replay of his pile a shit constantly forever!!!
My entire cinema began to roar
That's for goddamn sure

“Don’t cry in front of the mexicans”
"I'm the devil... And I'm here to do the devils work."
"...Nah it was something dumber than that"
Shaycormac Tex 😂
Something like Rex
im gonna do some devil shit
I laughed so hard at that line!
Damn its 666 likes
-Can we do something about the heat?
-It’s a flamethrower...
😭🤣🤣🤣
Good thing it is as hot as it was
sengiko or another one....don’t cry in front of the mexicans😂
Rick, it’s a flamethrower....
No we can’t! 😂
"don't cry in front of the mexicans"
haha thaw was fgood
Hilarious lmmfao
Best line in the movie. The execution of it was hilarious.
@@mrchaotiq Reminds me of the "No dogs or Mexicans" sign outside of Minnie's haberdashery.
There was a form of respect in that line. They don't deserve to see you cry but also it's weak to cry in front of the Mexicans, you can't look weak around them.
My favorite part was DiCarprio yelling at the masons and then take a giant gulp of margarita
"Goddamn fucking hippies!"
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
"HEY! DENNIS HOPPER!"
And I really hated it. Brainless aggression towards people being polite and apologising
@@kurkaKurka-vv6lh poor mass murderers, how dare he
It still feels unreal to watch DiCaprio and Pitt in the same movie
It's unreal that they've never been in the same movie before.
In the late 90s that would have been a horrible desaster. Just look at Brad Pitt paired with Harrison Ford. It really needs either an extraordinary director with absolute control for something like that or maybe the current end of Hollywood as we know it to get to superstars to play together instead of snatching the scenes from each other. And the fact that both actors are past their own golden age might have helped as well.
@@Schmidtelpunkt It was like Paul Newman and Robert Redford in "Butch Cassidy"...another film that shows just "hanging out" with the main characters can work...it didn't really have traditional "plot" either...
The chemistry felt like they’ve don 50 movies together
Just got out of the theater,, Holy fucking cow they both are unreal indeed the best duo i've seen.
When Brad Pitt looks at the dog food, on acid, and he goes, "Whoa"
XD
Almost the same as his reaction to the mobsters when his character was high in True Romance.
Bruh you really just say XD in 2020
I think it was better when he was looking at his hands and smiles.
Good ol' rat flavor
I wish Tarantino would have shown the scene from Cliff’s point of view all tripped out on acid when the hippies come in.
I love Tarantino's decision to not burden Sharon Tate with plot or story on this film. It was beautiful to just watch her live and be free.
The problem was that the parts it showed had nothing to do with the two main leads, and it felt like the movie ground to a halt whenever it cut to them.
@@Syklonus The movie wasn't intended to be experienced that way. It takes its time to appreciate that period and the seemingly minute moments. When you observe how Tarantino's camera follow Tate, you can see by the close, lingering shots on her face and youthful body Tarantino's wishful thinking; As if he couldn't believe that this woman passed away so young and in such a tragic manner that he carelessly ogles at her, even stalks her just so he could see every precious last moment of her life before it was taken away.
Unfortunetly though she isn't living beautifully or free, as she was brutally murdered with her four friends and unborn baby. I'm disappointed by Quentis choice to allow history to become a fairytale and make out that she is still alive.
@@danielle5980 Tarantino does not aspire for realism in any of his films. You'd probably seen this storytelling choice in Inglorious Basterds (him revising how WW2 concluded), because the power of cinema does not lie simply on realism --it can also come from its capacity to create it's own reality, even for a short period of time. Reenacting Tate's murder in a movie is disrespectful to her and indulgent and glorifying to the suspects. What the director did was a form of wishful nostalgia. And us knowing that the events that happened in the movie wasn't true hits real hard.
@@danielle5980 I'm not, and neither was Tate's sister. She loved it. And please remember the title of the film.
My favorite line from the film is when the Manson guy shows up and say, "I'm the devil and I'm here to do the devils work." Then Brad Pitt's character goes, "Nah, it's something dumber than that." I died in my chair.
Tex Watson actually said that during the Tate murders.
“I think it was... Rex or somethin’”
Then he was like,”it’s Rex or somethin” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Fintan great line haha one of my faves
"He said that he was the devil and he was here to do some devil shit" 😂😂
The last 10-15 minutes of this film alone is worth the price of admission.
Fairwarning 007 Agreed, just saw it today. I went in completely blind about the backstory, and the finale was superb!
When DiCaprio nailed that line while holding the girl as a hostage was AWESOME
When he went into the shed, everybody in the theater went nuts
Shame the other 2 and a half hours wasn't worth the price of admission, though.
Bill Murray from The Man Who Knew Too Little That’s not entirely what the OP is saying. The movie overall is a well executed love letter to 1960’s Hollywood. Totally worth it, then Tarantino throws a massive curve ball in the finale. It was great, classic Tarantino.
The scene stealing little girl who said she was 8 is going to be a megastar one day. Her acting was incredible.
Yep. You heard it right here, people.
I watched the movie and thought the exact same thing. I was actually sad that she didn't feature again in the movie, crazy talent
@@Jptm26 She had more scenes but they were cut for time.
@@TheAerovons bummer... Really hope she has a great carreer
Agreed. I also felt that she had such an impact on him in the movie that he didn't want to fuck up his lines or anything while shooting with her; as he'd done previously. Her saying it was the best acting she'd seen just put a massive smile on my face.
Meryll Streep.
Funniest ”missed joke” in the movie is, that in the beginning of the movie Rick says to Cliff, that he could be just one pool party away from being in a Polanski movie. At the end of the movie he gets an invite into the Polanski`s house after....hmmm.... an epic pool party :D...circle closes.
Jyrki K the pool party is when he flame throwers the hippie in the pool of his house. That leads him to the gates of the Polanski residence 😎
Jyrki K I dont think that was a missed joke. I think that's the fairytale ending that Quentin was going for with him being invited. He does end up being in a Polanski movie and reviving his career.
Missed joke? Really? It's the whole point of the movie
lol looks like YOU missed the joke bud
@@BlowDrogan Yeah... don't think anyone missed that.
"The flame thrower still works thank god" lol that line was priceless
"Is everybody alright?" - "Well, the hippies aren't" ... whole theater cheered
@Brian Egendorf yeah, his run towards the shack was priceless..... you wait, i gonna run for my FLAMETHROWER!!!
@@Exarathas No they didn't
"Burnt her to a crisp"
Apparently, Cliff's dog turned out to be the MVP 🐕😉
Click click
Brandy is a great fucking doggo!
Major John Wick vibes.
Brandy was like: 'this house under my protection, mo fo's' chomp!
John Wick liked it
Margot Robbie doesn't have too much lines but I think she has to be there to build the tension for the last part of the movie
There's only tension if you know what happened to the real Sharon Tate. Those who don't know history won't experience any tension. And knowing Tarantino it's pretty clear he will change history to his liking.
McLarenMercedes I don’t think there’s anyone that doesn’t know what happened
@@Leoza246 I think you're underestimating people's general ignorance. It happened 50 years ago and most watching the movie weren't even born then. Sharon Tate never reached legendary status like James Dean or Marilyn Monroe - both of which died tragically before their time. There's no well known classic movie she appeared in. Not like say Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz or Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. Most today have no idea who Roman Polanski is. Far more know who Michael Bay is. I also have talked to tons of people utterly unaware to the fact they saw a modern day remake (most I've talked to are oblivious to the fact it's the 4th time they made A Star Is Born) which indicates they did *zero* research about the movie before seeing it. Hate to say this but I'd say 90% go to see a movie solely from the trailer and because others said it was "good". An A-lister actor also draws in the audience - even if the movie itself was torn to shreds by an unanimous group of 300 film critics worldwide.
And btw, I heard older people lecturing their grown up kids in the movie theater about Sharon Tate seemingly oblivious to the fact the character would appear at all in the movie. Seems to me that even those who knew the story had no idea the murder of her (in this completely avoided murder) would play a pivotal part in the final of this movie. The trailer is all about Di Caprio and Pitt acting out the 60's.
When it comes to history - especially events that were a mere footnote and which won't be mentioned in schools - people in generally are scary ignorant.
Ask people on the street (as in those who haven't seen this movie, which should be no sweat either) if they know who Sharon Tate was. You'd be lucky to find 1 in 10 who knows her and her tragic fate.
I guess youre eight but I wish had a meaningfull part on the movie... She had only scene in the theatre but otherwise shes just there thats my only con but shes not a real character imo
Umm.. there is nothing that involves Margot in the end or at any point in the movie.
DiCaprio having a breakdown in his trailer after he fluffed his lines was totally improvised by DiCaprio and it was brilliant and funny, such a good movie.
The girl that "forgot her knife" dodged a flame thrower.
She also dodged life in prison irl.
TooCooFoYou That part didn’t happen irl. Nobody ran away, they just brutally murdered 5 people. 6 if you count the baby. A couple people were stabbed 50/60 times.
AND that girl was played by Maya Hawke, Uma Thurman's daughter. Who can also be seen in Stranger Things season 3.
Joseph Mora That’s awesome!
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192
I know she didn't run away, but she also didn't commit any of the murders and testified against them, which led to her avoiding jailtime.
Did any one get the Inglorious Basterds reference. One the Italian films he starred in was directed by Antonio Margheriti. As soon as I saw that I bust out laughing!!
I did!!! I was the only one that laughed, my theater only had like 6 people in it though.
I did the hand movement and voice to my mom. . . . . . She was not amused.
@@jackierosas9593 Margheriiiiitiii
Also one of the actors he named was called Mannox as in Mannox’s Marauders from hateful eight. Tarantinos characters all exist in the same universe
Ryan Harper and Ricks wife is played by Eli Roth’s wife
The ending made me cry a bit tears of joy. That was a very very sweet thing for Quentin Tarantino to do.
I feel the same. He rarely does this kinda tribute and respect
It was sweet of Tarantino to use a Dog in at least one of his films. Brandy is so adorable and looks like Hooch from the Tom Hanks classic Turner and Hooch.
@Tomjo5 Yes the sweet thing is immortalizing her life in a universe where she doesn‘t. Her sister was invited to the premier and reportedly broke down and just hugged Tarantino as thanks for immortalizing her sister.
To be honest, this was my third time watching it and I cried too
Being a little bit older I REALLY felt the tension, knowing the true story of what happened, how evil Manson was. It was like having a very dark presence over every scene, especially the scenes with Margot Robbie...
Sonny Greenwich Jr yes knowing the real story I know would’ve helped a lot of the younger audience, I adored that we got a fantasy ending in the movie compared to the brutal truth of the story
Yeah even though I’m only 20, I’m a big history buff. So pretty much the whole movie, I was scared about what was going to happen to not just Sharon Tate, but Rick and Cliff too.
The tension for me was waiting for the end because I didn't want to see them die. I was so relieved that they lived in the end then overcome with sadness.
Yes, it's like all these years after you get to mourn what could have been without it being overshadowed by the horror and hype.
I thought Cliff was gonna die when he went to spahn ranch. I was so scared
I didn't know who Sharon Tate was, and I still felt the tension. I know there would be something sinister happened to them. Man what a director Tarantino is!
I need some friends like clif
@@Antonio-sd2ce Bro same. I thought that red head was about to shoot him when he went in that house and then I thought he was gonna get killed when they went to go get Tex because he was beating that dude's ass for popping his tire. I was so relieved when Tex made it back to the ranch and you see the car driving away.
For anybody wondering, there were 7 notable feet scenes in this film
Zachary Williams he has a bit of a foot fetish
Zachary Williams they were dirty too lol
And the hairy armpit chick
Why did you count them?
aric pittman uh.. scientific purposes of course
Tex: I'm the devil and I'm here to do the devil's business
Cliff: Nah! It was something dumber than that.
This scene got me hysterical 😂
I loved the ending. It made me appreciate the "wait" - the storylines that were established before. And it felt really satisfying considering how history actually went down. It felt kinda bittersweet too. People who saw the movie will understand.
So I’m kind of surprised by Chris and Angry Joes reaction to this film. Some of the complaints like Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate not being important to the narrative, and the film lacking tension indicate they missed Tarantino’s point. Going into the film Tarantino expects us be aware in 1969 Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson family and based on his previous work that murder will likely be the climax of the film. This is foreshadowed throughout the film, like when we learn Rick lives next door to Sharon and how Cliff keeps running into one of the Manson girls, eventually taking her home to their camp. Theres supposed to be a slow building tension as these things play out. The natural conclusion is Rick and Cliff are likely to get caught in the cross hairs and more than likely be punished for their brazen disrespect of the Manson clan. Rick in the driveway the night of the murder and cliff when he visits their campsite and beats up the guy who flattened his tire. The acid dipped cigarette, Rick and cliff getting drunk. It’s all meant to create tension, for us to worry they won’t be able to put up a fight During the inevitable Sharon Tate murder scene. Notice how they put time stamps on the screen the night of the attack. We’re supposed to think this is a recreation of the real murder. Until the fairy tale reversal. Cliff runs into one of the Manson girls a few times and eventually ends up taking her to their camp. I felt this tension and sense of anticipation throughout the whole film. Then we get the beautiful and satisfying ending when he flips our expectations and cliff and Rick end up inadvertently saving the day and rewriting history. Tarantino wants us to think this film is doomed to follow real life history with Rick and Cliff caught in the crossfire. The film is basically a fairy tale (hence the title) where Tarantino’s fictional characters essentially have supernatural strength and ability. Like how Cliff put up an even fight with Bruce lee. In real life Cliff would have gotten his ass kicked by Bruce. But here, these characters are like Tarantino childhood movie heroes. He was 6 years old in 1969 and looked up these types of actors and performers (Rick and Cliff) like kids today look up to iron man and captain America. So in this fantasy fairy tale his movie heroes have supernatural strength and ability.
I've been looking for a way to sum up this movie in a nutshell. And I think I just found the way. ;)
I also think that the role Sharon played in this film was to sort of gather up even more sympathy for her. She was a actress on the rise in 1969 and scenes like her being talked about at the playboy mansion and her watching her own movie confirmed this. I also think the ending had alot more to it than just gratuitous violence. It's almost like Tarantino's way of getting back at the Manson family for basically ending the Hollywood golden age. Absolutely fantastic film.
I agree with most of that. But, the "twist" really wasnt a twist. Anyone who has seen any of Tarantino's films knew that Rick and Cliff were not in any danger, and that they would kill the hippies in historical revision. Because of this, it stripped all of the "tension" you speak of.
TheAlibabatree I thought the dog was doomed. Glad that good boy is still okay
firebat724 had the same feeling; it was Quentin’s big FU to Manson.
Yeah that inglorious bastards opening is pure cinematic brilliance. That one scene won Christoph Waltz an Oscar, and deservedly so.
That scene alone is a masterclass
I wonder if they actually select nominees on the basis of their role through a whole film or a few key moments. 🤔
That scene is overrated. Hans Landa's best is the Italian scene.
"Ancora una volta!"
@@combatwombat2134 I think it helps to have a nice fat juicy monologue that they can feature while presenting the nominees, and the monologue that Waltz does in bastards is legendary.
@@akosleoszilagyi2529 over rated? Well that's your opinion, but it's not a popular one.
Tension? are you serious, it's super tense if you know the Manson story. So it's better t o know the story before watching this movie.
The ranch scene was creepy. I agree it just faded away, but at that point I knew then that the Manson family (those hippies) wanted revenge.
Bruh your not told to know about the mansion story before watching it. If you don't know about the case, then it has absolutely no tension other then the very end
I agree, the ranch scene was scary because you know Tarantino and about the history. It was genius to make it all work out in that scene.
All his movies are the opposite in a scene like that and he really had me fooled by my own anticipation.
Knowing the stort made those hippies so damn creepy.
Reiss Harwood i feel like most people know the Manson story it’s decently culturally relevant
I agree with you, but I personally found the first scene with the bear Jew in Inglorious Basterds to be more intense. Just hearing his bat hit the hard floor got me ready for action. Eli Roth did a good job with that role.
Edit: said film instead of role.
The ranch scene was tense even if you don’t know history. The music, the uneasy atmosphere, the dilapidated house- it felt like a horror movie.
Inglorious Bastards wasn’t instantly appreciated.
I hope this is the case with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Suny, I agree. I didn't care too much for Inglorious Bastards. I've been meaning to watch it again. Maybe I'll like it better the second time around.
It was 100 times better than this
@@MrRamazanLale2 why is it that someone's movies have to be "bEtTeR" than a previous one? I have never seen a bad tarantino movie ever lol
You didn't feel tension when Pitt was at the Spahn Ranch?
I thought he was gonna die
Rick Wigington thats crazy to me. Cliff is literally being an intrusive dude around people that are capable of many gruesome things. How can he not feel the tension smh
When they zoomed in on the rat caught in the sticky trap I was certain Cliff was rooted at that point
I get what Chris means in that the scene fizzled out a bit when it turns out the guy really was just having a nap, but certainly the rest of that scene, including the spare tyre bit, was excellent
@@robhardie6687 I found it rather unbelievable that the hippie dude actually knew how to change a tire.
Imagine the last Tarantino film s a crossover of every single film he's made.
Last Film With Samuel L Jackson Will Be Awesome
Vega Brothers?
I've had this idea for weeks now.
His last film will take things back to Los Angeles in the 90s. It will be fucking amazing.
Sounds kind of lame. But I bet Quintin could make it work.
I would put Quentin Tarantino in charge of rewriting history.
But would he still have the burning hate not knowing what could have happened?
I loved the pissed off scene of Leonardo DiCaprio in the bus after he forgets his lines.
He’s so good at acting that he can act like he can’t act
If you kill someone in a fight you go to jail, it's called manslaughter"
N C stand ur ground laws, if someone breaks into your house trying to kill youuuu you can defend urself by whatever means I believe
lol. It was so funny watching him talking shit to Bruce Lee.
Made him a badass
@@JWMCMLXXX in real life bruce lee would have fucked him up
akshay Viswambharan personally, I think that scene is just brad Pitt’s fantasy. Notice how he kinda looks up and it cuts to him imagining himself beating up Bruce lee and looking cool. Then at the end of the scene he’s back on the rooftop and kinda smiles to himself, thinking about how he pissed off kurt Russell’s character and his wife
JERIN JOMON in real Bruce is dead and even when he was alive he was tiny. He has no official fight record either!
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD: I went in to this thinking the Sharon Tate murder would be shown in some way or another, i just hoped it wasn't to graphic since it's based on something that really happened. But when Rick approached the "hippies" in the car i started to realize where it was going. It's a complete alternate reality where Cliff Booth and Rick Dalton altered what actually happened in real-life. The fact she wasn't killed in this alternate reality and that the actual killers got what they deserved makes the ending so beautiful and sentimental, and to be honest it makes the whole film for me. Furthermore the fact that Rick realizes he wasn't so irrelevant after all given Sharon Tate's friend recognized him and most importantly Sharon Tate even knows his name was very endearing. I'd give the film an 8.5/10.
Roos Smit great write up 🙏🏾
It was a bittersweet ending. I teared up a little bit thinking "what could have been" had Sharon survived.
yea it definitely was crying as they were all walking into the house together....knowing what was really happening in that house in real life. giving us the thought of what could have happened was indeed bittersweet and moving
Wow, you just made me appreciate this movie a lot more, didn't know any of that.
Yes, I thought that was the perfect way to end this movie.
I disagree. The scene in the 2nd Act with the old house in the desert, which is both brilliant and important, sets up the finale in the 3rd Act.
Totally agree with you. I do think the 2nd act only builds tension if you know the real backstory, though.
“Don’t cry in front of the Mexicans” favorite line in the whole movie.
ok
Will Chris Stuckmann give an A+? Or will the streak of non A+ movies continue?
Find out today in another episode of Chris Stuckmann Movie Review.
Still waiting for an A+ for a new release film... and the wait continues
His review sounded like a hard B-, soft B+, but gave it an A-. Dude’s getting a little harder to read as time goes on.
Whats was his last A+ on a recent movie?
I think Parasite, The Lighthouse or maybe Knives Out. Most probably Parasite.
2018 was a pretty horrible year for film tbh...
This is a movie that I've been anticipating for a while now. DiCaprio and Pitt in the same movie, it can't possibly be a disappointment.
And the bonus isTarantino directing it.
Movie of the summer I think
Brad pitt and charles manson dies.
The bonus is that Al Pacino is in it. 😊
you would have to like both of them, i for one could care less. just here for another stuckman review. brad pitt is a terrible actor by the way lol
I loved this film. Saw it twice in theaters and loved it more the second time.
Brad Pitt has never been better. The swag, charisma - he steals the show. My favorite performance from him. *Inglorious Basterds and Snatch right behind.*
I think this is my favorite DiCaprio performance, too. In some scenes, he’s playing a character playing a character. He’s a very talented and convincing actor. Excellent job.
We all know Tarantino loves Bruce Lee - he’s paid tremendous homage to him over his career.
*spoilers* People are forgetting that Tarantino shows Lee training Sharon at one point, and it’s more to his peaceful nature... but nobody brings this up.
The pacing is slow, towards the middle, but picks back up. I personally didn’t mind the slow pace, at all. I loved the dialogue.
The ending, oh my god!!! Woooo!!! I loved every minute of the ending. Very brutal!!
*SPOILERS*
The face smashing!!! My god!!! Shit was crazy!! And the throat stomp!! Cliff fuckin’ Booth is the man!!
And shoutout to Brandy the Dog
9.5/10
Man the scene in desert built a tensions and did not end like usual Tarantino just because of Tarantino intention. I am one hundered percent sure it was his intention to mess up with people in cinema.
I agree and I loved that scene. I don't think there was even a single point in the movie that dragged for me because I was just so invested. Great movie.
One of the craziest, most unexpected endings I've ever seen.
MJS Lawrence unless youve seen any other tarantino movie
...and a surprising turnaround off the real events into a happy ending.
It's kinda like Inglourious Basterd ending where the reality altered.
tarantino was defenetly on speed
I was like fuck they're gonna kill Cliff.....OH SHIT....OH SHIT......WTFFFFF!!!!!!
"akin to the big lebowski" well hey, that's just like your opinion man
I see what you did there Dude
Best comment so far
Nice.
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
Hey, you made a joke. Lol
Man, I was confused about the part about George's house in the desert. This movie played a lot with expectations; especially in the last act. In the house-scene, you think you know what has happened to George, due to the other actors performances and the score, but it fools you. I loved that. It made me doubt all of my other expectations throughout the rest of the movie!
Great review Chris!
What I liked about the Sharon Tate scenes was the cinema one where she was watching her old film. I think it's a nice tribute to the real Sharon Tate and I found that really endearing. I felt how important Sharon was to the people who cared for her.
My mouth was literally agape for that final, brutal scene, it was incredible...
Agree especially the face smashing
I loved every second of that and maybe 4 or 5 other scenes. The rest of it was a self indulgent drag.
Nicolas winding refn would be proud.
Well it was out of nowhere, disrespectful to the actual victims, glorified violence and had a completely different tone to the rest of the film
@@daviddonnelly585 "disrespectful to the actual victims"
So... you would be more glad to see pregnant Sharon Tate brutally murdered rather than watch the killers die? Just because it will be more "respectful" for the victims?
Days since the last A+ movie, 248.
😞
Which was the last one?
Abhilash BM probably Lady Bird, and if Lady Bird was the last A+ from Chris, then it must have been 610 days..
Dhani Oliver actually it was It’s a Wonderful Life. It was in December, so it’s been close to seven months since he last gave an A+
glorifying yes right! Thanks for the correction! But if we only count reviews from Chris for movies that are released in recent years, is Lady Bird the last A+ from Chris? I haven’t watched all of his A+ movies review so i can’t know for sure hahaha
This movie proves that a movie can still be captivating without basically any plot as long as the characters are incredibly well written and drive the movie forward through their actions.
Ok, I stopped midway just to write this but you said the desert scene had no tension?
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Have we watched the same movie? Granted, this might be your opinion but still, throughout the scene there was this strange feeling that shit is about to go down, every moment you think "yeah, he's about to bite it right here". And the fact that he just drove away like nothing happened was great, especially with the payoff in 3rd act with the small back and forth banter. Just my 2 cents :)
Damian Skiba especially if you consider the fact that an actual stuntman visited the Manson Spaun Ranch....and died
@@DariusFrench6273 Wow really? I didn't do my homework, that is so cool ^^
I don't think Stuckman knows Tarantino movies very well
Loved how Dicaprio acted someone who's trying his best to act, it takes a special kind of actor to pull this off. Next to the barscene in IB the scene with the little girl who tells him it's the best acting I have ever seen, is the best.
the scene when he has the little girl on his lap and throws her i think is on par with his Candyland scene in Django.... was performed EXTREMLEY well. Obv Django is abit better because of the improve he does but you know. Still fantastic.
@@TheGoldenGod. As much as I hated most of the "movie" scenes in the movie (mostly because they dragged on way too long and didn't really feel like something that would be aired on TV back then), I will admit it was kinda ballsy to have Leo cuddle up to the girl on that chair for what seemed like an eternity. Tarantino could legimitaley get sued for child abuse.
@@yarpen26 uhhh just no dude
Didn't you noticed the cynical aspects of these scenes? It's a EIGHT YEARS OLD girl saying that overacting was the best performance she witnessed in her entire life... The entire 8 years of her life, lol Goddamn people, it's that hard to interpret a simple joke?
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I think the meaning behind the scene was that he acted his best because he didn't want to disappoint the girl and was supposed to be very heartfelt after she said he acted great. Keep in mind the director also absolutely loved it and he did act better than his previous scenes a little I think.
Personally I thought the fakeouts, in particular at the ranch, just served to elevate the last 30 minutes of the film into something truly special. Both knowing Tarantino's filmography and the story of the Manson family there's this tension the entire movie that all the characters are doomed. Yet we see them, in particular Sharon Tate, just going about their day and doing nothing with their lives.
All the characters are set up for their own personal tragedy and then it gets subverted in one of the most hilarious 10 minutes I've seen in years.
The Girl who ditched her friends who wanted to Leo remembered he’s friends with Brad Pitt and will probably kill her like he did that guy who flattened his tire, smart kid she avoided being mauled or burned alive
Yup 🔥🔥🔥
If Sharon Tate hadn’t been in it, the climax would lose all meaning and impact. She was pivotal in setting up expectations, then turning it. Leo is also fantastic. He’s incredibly funny.
I absolutely loved this movie. There were moments where i just smiled. Not because of Comedy but because it was so good.
The movie ranch was deflating? That whole sequence had me on the edge of my seat.
He's saying the payoff kind of fizzled out the scene. It was building up to the guy being dead or nonexistent or something.
Agreed! The best scene in my opinion.
It was intense if you knew that was the Manson family living there. If you didn't, it may seem like a bunch of strange hippies living on a ranch.
Agreed! Maybe Stuckmann isn't up on his Manson lore?
Admittedly if you know about the Manson stuff then you’ll know that nothing happened to Spahn, so the scene might be less tense. But you still wonder if Cliff will make it out alive or not.
I hope Tarantino really doesn't retire from directing after his next movie.
its going to be star trek. and we find out all the tarantino movies where all apart of a holodeck program.
Tarantino said he would go into writing movies and plays instead of directing
He said he might even retire after this movie.
I hope he does
Chris will replace him, it'll be fine 😁
I cried at the end. It is a beautiful film, both celebrating and mourning the 60s.
Exactly
Brad Pitts character in this movie was great, probably his best role.
If i was pitt and somebody said this is my best peformance, i would just kill myself.
It was a great performance but his BEST role? Aw hell naw. That’s disrespectful
No chance, everything he's done is near enough better than this shit film. Such a disappointing movie
Fight club and Snatch>>, still a great performance, one of the best actors of all time
@@izazahmed6447 Fight club,Snatch,Se7en,Fury,Kalifornia. The list is endless, defo 1 of the best
This movie was a breathe of fresh air I needed.
99% of movies have such simple plots that are given away in the title. I went into this not really knowing the plot and enjoying the wild ride Tarantino always takes us on
please explain the plot of this film..... surprise it doesn't have one for once agree with Chris its just a collection of events.
Tom Preece the plot is there is no real plot 😂
It’s a fictional retelling of an event in history
The movie felt to me like a Coen Brothers movie. Which isn’t a bad thing
This was a wild ride for you? I agree a lot of films nowadays have poor plots but you just admitted this film to not even having one, which it did, it was just randomly executed. People have different ideas of a good film, this had good acting, a few entertaining scenes and the visionary was good at times but that does not constitute a good film. Tarantino has generally made hit films, even his other random films from the past had a general meaning to it. This certainly wasn’t a wild ride other than the ending so it seems certain fans are just easily pleased by short amounts of a 2hour45 minute film. In that time you have to impress to keep viewers engaged, and it was only my open mind that kept me going, I was watching that with avid movie hubs that came to a similar conclusion. It only appeases people that weren’t after much and that’s ok...but don’t turn around and say it’s a good film when you have nothing other than good imagery and good acting to back it.
@1Leggo9my9Eggo2 lol that was a mouthful huh bud
I’ve been a long time subscriber to Chris and I’ve had the opportunity to view his thoughts on films and I appreciate how he is able to give a non biased review and leave me astonished with how his channel has grown through out the years
Mr.Bondtastic kiss-ass
It is astonishing, although I do miss his old personality from the early stages of his UA-cam channel before 2017. He still has some resemblance of his personality, but not as much as he used to.
I think it has a lot to do with his association with Defy.
I wouldn't say his is completely removed from his videos because he does factor his thoughts, opinions, personal experiences into his reviews. What makes Chris Stuckmann great is his ability to explain the overall feel of a movie without spoiling it, convey an all rounded review where folm techniques are discussed and his content tailored to his audience.
Fully agreed my friend!👏🏻
I agree Chris. We are so in hurry that even the skill to follow a movie narration is disappearing. Thanks to tv series 📺, cliff hanger and blockbusters.
A Master like Hitchcock today would have many pains to develop his movie 🍿
Boring and long have ✌🏻 different meanings
10/10 for me! What a masterpiece.
100% agreed
The bar is so low
Chris I slightly disagree, I was extremely tense when it came to the Manson’s. When Cliff was on the ranch, from start to end of that scene I was at the edge of my seat up until he drive away. The final act also wow, extremely tense. Maybe it’s because I’ve done in depth research into the murders and the mansions but regardless, i definitely disagree, it was very tense. However!! It feels like 2 different movies, I don’t know what it is but I felt like I was watching different movies - maybe it’s the old vs new conflict..? Any thoughts?
Imo, Brad Pitt has quietly become underrated as an actor. Early in his career he was known for his looks and then for his relationships. But he's great and I think he's an actor that really suits the Tarantino style. Hope they keep collaborating.
I too think one of the most celebrated and instantly recognizable actors of all time is underrated.
@@Windrammer Yes because his personal life and looks has often been the focus in the mainstream media rather than his acting skill. For years more people heard about him due to "Brangelina" rather than his performances.
@@Windrammer he is a little under rated as an actor he doesnt really get enough recognition for his acting chops
Pitt is excellent in this film. He deserves a best supporting actor nomination.
Yeah Brad does a lot of weird stuff like Burn After Reading and Snatch and my favorite Tarantino film is Inglorious Basterds where Pitt does a strange but excellent job. The character is larger than life but also kind of real and down to earth. I agree, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were both swamped by this mainstream media perception of them with Oprah and Brangelina SHIT. But at the end of the day, Tom Cruise is one of the bravest actors and working his way towards Jackie Chan in terms of doing his own stunts (especially when you consider that he is 57 and doing extreme stunts at a later age than Jackie really has) and Brad Pitt is a diverse and subtle actor.
I loved every minute of it! Margot really had Sharon Tate's voice on point. I thought the ending was going to be so predictable because of what actually happened to Sharon but I was completely surprised with the direction Tarantino decided to take. I really wish Hollywood would make more movies like this.
Alejandro Gonzalez exactly.
sharon tate talked nothing like her. ZERO go check out interviews here of S. Tate
Alejandro Gonzalez I loved how Brad Pitt’s character at Spahn Ranch ends up in a real life western, complete with the bad guys going to get ‘Tex’ for help. I thought this film was great. A lot of people in the comments are saying it doesn’t do anything, but I think that’s kind of the point. It does tell a story, it just takes its time to get there & I had no problem with that.
@@fierro7771 I've seen all of Sharon Tate's movies and the way Margot spoke really reminded me of her actual voice. Of course it's not going to sound exactly the same but I feel like she did the best she could.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Same here. I see it as just a really great film meant to watch with friends and family while also getting to know what Hollywood used to look like and what it felt like back then. Some people don't like the exterior driving shots but I loved all of them especially when Brad Pitt was driving and Los Bravos "Bring A Little Lovin" came on, that was a magical moment.
The tension was great when Brad Pitt was at the ranch.
That scene in the desert where it went "pfffuuuaah" Well it was my favorite scene ahah. All the build up, the weird and unsettling atmosphere, the conversation with the red hair girl. I was on the edge of my seat truly wondering what was gonna happen the whole time. Yeah the climax is kinda meeh but man was the tension good for me
i feel the climax wasn’t supposed to feel major, follows quentins unexpected smooth style of film
I always felt like Tarantino's pacing is kind of slow but in a good way.
TheParadozia His dialogue scripts is what keeps us on the edge of our seats. That's his biggest strength.
amy li exactly, the dialogue IS everything in his movies..
Nope. Bad way. Kill bill good. Bastards no.
@@amy_yoshikawa except for Death Proof, hateful 8.
Sal Paradise the dialogue was great for both, tho.. what’s wrong with those two movies dialogue wise?
*SPOILERS*
Sharon Tate is 100% integral to the movie. She is the mysterious briefcase in Pulp Fiction, and the Lincoln Letter in Hateful Eight. She's the object (not character) that represents 1960s magic for Tarantino. And Tarantino is Jules, he is Marquis. He's protecting Sharon Tate at all costs, including altering history. And she may not have many lines, but she is key to Rick's character arc.
The Driver I was trying to put it in words but this is excellent thank you! I agree 100% we get to see the gem she is and what it takes to protect her.
Have we seen the same movie ?
Nah sorry ... she was there to smile and look pretty ... Maybe if it was a lesser known actress and the movie was promoted just starring Leo and Brad, I would be fine with her character ... But Margot was put front and center to basically do nothing ...
@@TheHigherSpace And that's a perfectly valid reading. In my opinion, Tarantino has a purpose for every single thing in every single shot of his movies.
bang, nailed it
I like how we all glossed over the fact that Cliff killed his wife with a harpoon in the middle of the ocean 😂😂
Does he? We don't know, lol it was based on a real life event, boat, ambiguous death and everything
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Sharon tate and her people were real characters, Cliiff is totally made up.
@@mebarkiimad8999 yes, I know. But the boat thing indeed happened in real life, 2 big heads of Hollywood went on a trip with a wife of one of them. Only the 2 got back. I don't remember the names right now, but it's easy to google it up.
R i wonder if you’re referring to Christopher walker, Robert Wagner and Natalie wood? They actually went out on a chartered yacht. There was a party. Wood and husband Wagner got into a fight. While everyone went to sleep - allegedly- wood got in a dinghy and tried to row to another yacht nearby. She was never seen again. Some of Wood’s family believe foul play in Wagner’s part.
@@cooltalktalks4944 "allegedly", lol yep, that's the story. It's kinda funny to me how some considered this movie a love letter to Hollywood... But Tarantino is know to be very cynical. Willing or not, this story features Polansky (a disgusting pedophile) and Tate (an "actress" who only got roles through the casting couch, like hundreds of others). On top of that, this bizarre boat incident. And as a little bonus, the humanization of the demigod know as Bruce Lee. But as always, the public and the academy are only noticing the glamor and nothing else.
I loved the aesthetics of this movie and felt entertained the whole time. True, it is very chill and sometimes I felt that there wasn't much of a plot, but when the film was over I almost couldn't believe that more than two hours had passed already. It's a movie to watch with your friends, maybe talk over some scenes and have a good laugh.
Tarantino really just brushed over the whole “yeah he killed his wife” thing without bating an eye, brilliant. 10/10
Is that a good thing ? ctfuu
@jliveslife OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE!
THE GOVERNMENT'S CORRUPT
THE GOVERNMENT'S CORRUPT
OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE
DukeofLorraine I think it kind of adds a darker effect when you see him bash the girls head in, you don’t know if he actually killed her or not.
we still actually don’t know if he did it
Tristan Winchester I think thats the point. I think that was quentin’s way of confirming wether he killed her or not. The way he calmly murders every one of the mansons and also is able to hold his own against Bruce. Maybe we are supposed to be more scared of cliff than anyone else in the movie
Love allllll the actors AND Tarantino- but you know when a friend is telling you a story and they include every useless part and they drag the story on? Thats what this movie was for me.
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT MANNN!
Same. This movie had many parts that added nothing to the story or narrative. It was very boring at times.
Thank you this movie not having a plot wasn't Tarantino's vision the bare bones a good script that has a fucking plot makes a movie not the "artistic vision" I mean what the fuck these critics don't know what they are talking about every scene felt like the beginning of the movie but I did think he did a good job and the actors were excellent and there were great scenes all and all it totally missed the mark for being an actual movie
@@minutemovies2766 Punctuation, please. I do not understand what you are saying
But yeah, all those scenes weren't "useless". Tarantino was making us attached to the characters, all to make the final scene even more satisfying.
@@yelkhan2002 🤷🙆💁🙅
I loved the acting, the soundtrack, the cinematography, the directing, the humorous moments, and it had an epic climax that I loved! Seeing Leonardo and Brad together made me happy, and it elevates this film. At first, I gave it an 8/10, and I thought it wasn’t fantastic, but after rewatching it I can say OUATIH is one of my favorite films of 2019, and gets a 9/10 for me.
“Can we do anything about the heat?”
“It’s a flamethrower.”
this movie felt a little long in parts but the ending is so satisfying it’s totally worth it
I completely disagree. While the ending scene was good, it didn't make up for the drudgery that proceeded it.
CardinalRule *sicks dog on you*
@@EddieMachetti *lets you back into your SHEEP pen*
CardinalRule hmm i guess it depends on what u we’re looking for? once i started thinking of the movie as a comedy/character study the slowness bothered me less
CardinalRule I’m sorry you don’t appreciate skilled actors, quality dialogue, phenomenal direction, gorgeous settings and goddamn HISTORY. Not everyone is 10 years old and jerk off to AvEngErS eNdGaMe everyday.
Sharon Tate was the McGuffin. Event though we know what faith she will meet, Tarantino turned it around....and I was really happy about that.
Thaïla Khampo kinda expected that since tarantino killed hitler
Thaïla Khampo totally!! But that only works if you know beforehand the story of Sharon Tate. The movie never tells us who the mason are and the name of Sharon is said few times.... therefore if you are not from USA, Sharon Tate will not even be a mcguffin... she will only be a character out of place with the narrative and the story with no relevance or impact.
The first time I watched this I thought it was ok. The second time I loved it. And now it is becoming one of my favorite movies. It gets funnier and more entertaining every time I watch it. The performances are great with very memorable lines, the cinematography is awesome, the music choices are perfection and it rewards multiple viewings. Some movies I love the first viewing and some, like this one, grow on me after a rewatch.
DiCaprio as Rick Dalto was hilarious in this movie and Cliff Booth was an awesome character.
I loved how immersive the 60s setting was. This movie's got a killer soundtrack! Usually meandering stories are a little dull to me, but I actually really dug this one. The slice-of-life narrative worked really well for this type of story and these characters. Plus the chemistry between DiCaprio and Pitt was fantastic.
The flamethrower scene was amazing.
"Rick, its a flamethrower."
Just rewatched it. i loved it. It's more of an experience than a movie.
there would be no point of this revenge like ending of the film without Margot being apart of it,
I think you missed the point.
You know it’s a good director when you’re sad the movie gets an A-
Jeremy Jahns didnt like it tho
Christopher Marabella good that means I probably will lol.
Christopher Marabella
Jahns’s reviews suck
Jeremy Jahns has the attention span of a goldfish
Black Ninja because Chris is actually knowledgeable in directing and filmmaking. He is much more qualified to be considered a “critic” when compared to Jeremy. I’d describe Jeremy as the average film-goer. Like come on, Jeremy like Suicide Squad...
I'd disagree on the Sharon Tate character not being integral to the movie.
If that character hadn't had so much positive exposure throughout the film, the impact of the ending would have fallen on its ass, IMO.
What impact? The ending was completely flat
@@hamishbarrett7695 The impact of subverting the audience's expectations by changing the historical outcome of the event through the use of grim, righteous violence.
@@hideinthehole gratuitous violence, intended to shock the viewer as a pay off for the two hours of nothing before... that is not how you construct a plot. Also considering this case is completely unkown outside of america, and unknown amongst many young people in america, the film relies entirely on detailed knowledge of a specific case to have any impact, and doesn't hold its own without that knowledge - a good film would make sense either way and wouldn't be so self indulgent. Inglorious basterds was a manipulation of what pretty much everyone on earth knows, so was fine, but even without that knowledge the structure of the plot, the tension built throughout the film etc, could hold its own even without any knowledge of world war 2. This film was incredibly pretentious and assumed that everyone knew what was happening. Which is surprising seeing as I didn't even realise who Margot robbie was meant to be until the end of the film. Tarantino thinks he can get away with anything at the moment and went completely style over substance. Shame because he has some really great films (excluding kill bill 1+2 imo, that was just gratuitous violence to substitute lack of plot too)
@@hamishbarrett7695 this. As an international viewer I'm disappointed in how much tarantino relied on knowing the specifics for the movie to work. Also, on the point of being a very targeted movie, it felt ver self congratulatory for Hollywood and that age of cinema, which a lot of other countries don't know or care about. Really bumme dout, I'm a huge tarantino fan. Hope his next film is better
@@hamishbarrett7695 dude, I was SO lost during the movie. After it was finished someone said:"in real life Sharon Tate was murdered being pregnant by the manson family." I was like, wait. What?! By who? Not once was the name "manson" mentioned in the movie. Imagine how random the whole movie felt to me not knowing this stuff.
I just watched this film in one of the local theatres and it instantly became my new favourite movie by a *huge* margin precisely _because_ it has such odd timing and suspense structuring. Never has any film ever made me laugh so often and so hard. An absolute masterpiece in my book. Bless you Quentin!
This movie feels like 5 movies combined into one, Tarantino didn't know if he wanted to make a Sharon Tate biography, a drama about a once-great actor, a buddy comedy...
Still really good though
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Also a weird movie making behind the scenes.
No, he never wanted to make a Tate biography, and he knows exactly what he is doing lol
@@ovoj huh??
No Sam Jackson? lol. I always loved that quote that Tarantino made that when he writes dialogue the voice he hears in his mind is Sam Jackson's.
ok but who the fuck calls samuel l jackson "sam jackson"
It's Samuel Jackson I wish and glad he's not there there's alot of people that need a Tarantino film before he retires off
Bill everyone I know
It’s Samuel L Fishburne
@@thahomiebill268 or should I say William? He's informally known to everyone as Sam and as I couldn't be bothered writing Samuel L Jackson I shortened it, little did I know the full name police would read it.
Are you kidding me? Sharon Tate WAS the TENSION!!!!!!
I think people overthink things because it's Tarantino. I pull no punches.
Your 100% on the money. I almost walked out the last 15 minutes. I couldn't take the tension. Glad I stuck to my seat.
@@billlozier5551 I didn't know the full in-depth history of Sharon Tate so I didn't really think about the tension there. I knew when it was Charlie Manson without even watching the trailer. I also thought it was strange how they kept the original Sharon Tate on screen when she was watching the movie I guess as an omage.
Bill Lozier yeah but the last bit was the only good part of the movie the rest was just so painstakingly boring it just dragged on I feel like this movie could have been done easily in a hour and half but because qt is the way he is he wanted it to be a three hour movie
@@jacobross735 thanks for your input. I felt the film was never boring. ADHD is running amok. Sometimes you gotta just sit back and enjoy a masterpiece.
This movie was PARTLY Tarantino's love letter to Sharon Tate, Robbie character was like a homage. Tate would have been gone on to do great acting and I think Tarantino wants the world to know
This was easily my favorite Tarantino film. Not even close. Absolutely brilliant
A slow burner that turns out to be Tarantino's Big Lebowski?
I'm in
bro did u have link for this movie
big lebowski is boring, looking forward to this though.
Producer: Tarantino, how many foot scenes you want in this movie?
Tarantino: Yes
He always has a lot of those.
There is lots of foot scenes trust me. Saw it yesterday
Amazing!
Junior Tarantino I mean is it most women at least smh
Bro G Yea probably I didn’t count lol just know its alot
“Don’t cry in front of the Mexicans”
Leo: hey, cliff you are my best friend
Bred Pitt: ya I try
I quit smoking a few years ago but every time I watch a Tarantino movie I feel like having a smoke.
Good luck dude !
Same haha
I switched to vaping last month and haven’t smoked a cigarette since; I feel the same way with QT’s films! Good on you mate, keep it up!
Never smoked and feel the same way
This film definitely makes you want to drink some booze and smoke some cigs, Tarantino uses these aspects as characteristics of life itself
The post-credit scene was hilarious too.
There was a post credit scene
Should've stuck around. it happens during the credits. Like one minute or so into the credits.
Frankie Russell 🚬🤮
Apples are bad
“WHYD THEY HAVE TO USE THIS PICTURE?”
Im surprised Chris doesn't pick up on the Tate tragedy being the center tension of the whole plot. Everything is about how that night will turn out, and therefore the "innocence" of 60's Hollywood dying or surviving.
Yeah, disappointing that Chris really missed the thread there.
Man, whenever the hippies show up, there IS tension. At least for me.
Just saw this movie tonight and I must say it's arguably my 3rd or 4th favorite tarentino movie. It's super entertaining and hilarious and the last 20 minutes is worth the ticket alone. Trust me, go see it!
This is one of the only films I've seen in the cinema where the whole audience were laughing
Damn, you're right. I watched it in ours little towns cinema and the atmosphere was something amazing and I could feel people laugh or being grossed out at the last scene. Haven't seen this in my life before actually..
You guys don't go out much huh?
@@MrGamecatCanaveral ?
@@legacyrxt7570 the movie was dumb. Hardly even funny.
If you know a little more about Sharon than just the fact that she was murdered by the Mansons, you’d know that she was an actress just barely getting her big start. That whole bit with her at the movie theatre watching her own movie, where it took the employees awhile to recognize her, makes sense when you get that she was up and coming. It’s to show how new and fresh she was to Hollywood and still so excited about starring in movies and seeing herself on the big screen and wanting to be recognized, then Tarantino set that as a direct contrast to two hard boiled past their prime stars, and I understand that while she didn’t have much to do, it gave you some context as to just how much was actually lost when she died. Not only were her and her baby killed, but also her blossoming career so we’ll never know if she could have become another famous icon.
Chris I've just discovered you here in the UK. I really enjoy your style of reviewing. You just get to the point, give your 2 cents, and move on.
My thoughts on the movie were similar to yours. There were moments when I caught myself thinking "come on, pick it up". Baggy is the right word. The ranch scene I found tense though.
But overall I loved it. The sumptuous filming and wry humour. I burst out laughing and slapped my thighs during the climax. Not sure I was supposed to. It was just so great. Pitt just gets better with age. I never rated him, but now I do.
Keep up the great work buddy!
