I like when Cliff Booth (Pitt) is trying to remember Tex's name and Tex says "I am the devil here to do the devil's work" and Booth replies "Nah, it was dumber than that".
I think it is heavily underrated how refreshing it is to see two a-list actors star opposite each other and NOT have them be enemies, and not have dramatic scenes together!. The fact they just remain, super relaxed friends through out the film with nothing to disrupt that, makes it so much better!
The ending left me smiling and speechless in the greatest way. Once the carnage started, my jaw literally dropped with a smile because I than realized that it was not the dark ending that I was expecting. Holy shit... The greatest ending ever
i remember Charlie Manson interview from San Quentin when he talk about the children trying to get unlock from the second world war they are trying to get off the burning monk burning himself to death because something is not right, well rick dalton play a world war 2 character and use a flame thrower to burn nazi, how ironic.
Revenge? The Manson kids killed ppl & Tarantino made a movie. That's revenge to you? If i was a relative of Sharon Tate's I'd be insulted by this film.
Not necessarily revenge, but showing them for what they were...talentless nobodies. They were only able to 'succeed' with their plans because they targeted people completely unprepared and unable to defend themselves. This shows what would have happened if they came upon someone who could have fought back.
I am old enough to remember the Sharon Tate murder. It was, as was said, horrific. The press spared no ink in describing in great detail what happened to that poor woman.I went to see the movie with friends not knowing what it was about. My sense of dread increased when I realized what was unfolding. I sat there with my hands ready to cover me eyes and my forefingers ready to place in my ears as I contemplated how graphically Tarantino would portray the evisceration of Sharon Tate. The sense of relief I experienced was enormous. Once upon a time indeed. If only it could have ended that way in real life.
Karlo Carl ... in the movie Butters pointedly pointed out that the word “actress” shouldn’t exist, they are ALL “actors”. That’s why he wrote *actor ... being the clever one. 👍
As a young person who knows barely anything about the Manson family, this explanation makes the movie 100x better and I really regret not knowing before I watched the movie
As someone who grew up with horror of the Manson Family murders, the sense of dread growing through the movie (especially during the last act after Dalton and Booth returned from Italy) was almost unbearable. With only a few lines of dialog, Margot Robie's acting at Tarantino's direction made me fall in love with the Sharon Tate character.
And that's exactly what the biggest problem with this movie is ... and why most people don't like it ... it ASSUMES you know the Manson / Tate story before watching it.
greenerpasturesny perhaps the target audience is those that are a bit older. Primarily those around Tarantino’s age. In this regards..., it’s very likable.
One of the coolest parts of the film was when Rick botched his lines when they were shooting the scene in the bar. The scene (to the viewer) was filmed in one shot so though Rick was botching his acting, DiCaprio was giving a stellar performance.
A performance within a performance in which he acts both brilliant and crap at the same time. It's actually sad that there's only one Oscar award, but I'm sure Joaquin will get it.
This was actually my favorite part of the movie, and I constantly use this scene as an example of how good Leo is, and how much he deserved the Oscar for this movie. We all love Brad, and I'm glad he won, but he was still kinda just being Brad. Leo played a role completely different to not only his real life personality, but also to any character he's played previously. In that scene he's a great actor playing as a bad actor, who's fighting with everything he's got to be a good actor, but failing. It's an incredible scene, and I'm just happy to read this comment and know that I haven't been the only one saying this for two years...
Was it really a gated house? How did they break in? If only they'd had an AR-15. Guessing after that every rich homeowner in L.A. installed gates and a security system.
So many great scenes in this film. Leonardo was phenomenal, but I think Brad Pitt stole the movie. And I love that at the end Rick tells Cliff that he's a good friend.
Laura Powell The whole movie was awesome, but the last 15 minuted were definitely the best! I loved the horsy comment, and I loved his reaction when he said,”I’m the devil, and I am here to do the devil’s business.” “No. It was something dumber than that! “ There were so many scenes in this movie that had me laughing until I was in tears. Tarantino always makes great movies, but this movie was the best. Hands down! 🎥
When Cliff was at the ranch, my heart was literally pumping out of my chest, i wanted to scream, get out of there! Tarantino built the tension up so amazingly.
It just hit me now that the scene with Clem fixing the tire was foreshadowing. We thought Cliff was going to get hurt because everything on screen and all we know of history said so, and the Family had the upper hand when the tire was punctured, but Cliff had preparedness and his ability to fight on his side, despite not being on home turf. Then he didn't have a knife handy, but he had a can of dog food and a well-trained dog, and his skills and training were still there even when high.
I’ve watched the movie before reading Helter Skelter, but I already knew a lot about the Manson family, still not as much as after reading it. I tell you something, a lot of creepy and terrible stuff happened in that ranch. It gave me a whole greater perspective on the film, specially the whole Spahn ranch sequence, which is brilliant by itself!
I personally loved the movie. I liked that it was less violent than all his other films and gave us that great scene at the end. I also just loved the setting of LA in the 60s and the soundtrack was the best
I guess i’m the only who didn’t like it. My main problem with the film is it was waaay too long. Yeah i understood the story, but this movie could have been a lot better if it was an hour shorter.
I love seeing Tarantino movies in the theater - something about laughing at horrific, over-the-top violence with a room full of strangers makes the world seem like an alright kind of place.
This was the first tarantino movie I saw in the theater. And we only have one more to come. After that, nobody is never gonna see a tarantino movie in the theater.
I was never a big Tarantino fan until I saw this film. Having lived during this era, I was fully expecting the Manson family to do what they had done originally, and the tension kept mounting for me. When I saw the way it ended, it was like a massive pressure realease. I loved it!
I remember when it happened. I was a young teenager. It scared me to death. We didn't have 24 hour news then, but the networks covered it. Was Horrifying. I wish it could've ended that way. I wish that sonabitch, Charles Manson could've seen this movie.
The most cathartic ending I can remember in a long time. The whole movie saunders along, building the time and place. Giving us time to connect to these characters all the while knowing something tragic is approaching. And then....Tarantino happens. The tone flips, tragedy becomes comedy, the anticipated violence explodes all over the screen and it's more glorious than you could have imagined. I dare anyone not to leave this movie with a smile on their face.
............... django is a movie that was made, inflicting violence on racist slaveowners who terrorized and tortured for hundreds of years, which the effects of are still felt to this day.......... but THIS was the one for Tom & Travis.
The reason I love Tarantinos happy endings is because they play out exaclty how we wished evil people would be dealt with, After we read about how history Actually played out in real life Like with Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds
He didn't get the acid dipped cigarette from pussycat. He got it from another hippie (not a Manson family member) on the side of the street. There's a couple of flashbacks to this and the actress was not pussycat.
The Manson murders were seen as the symbolic and brutal end of the sixties and the loss of innocence and naiveté of the hippie generation. Notwithstanding the fact that they occurred before Woodstock. I think Tarantino’s fairy tale ending was a fantasy about returning to this terrible event and deleting it from history, so the sixties could live on.
Mark W idk about that. Honestly, i just think that Tarantino uses the murders as a device to create a suspenseful and then a big relief happy ending. He knows everyone in Hollywood has a lot of charge on the Tate murders and just uses it to press the audience buttons
Maybe. Maybe the exploitation movie style ending was a comment on how just like the zeitgeist changed from John Wayne style movies to Italo Westerns by the end of the fifties / beginning of the sixties, it changed again by the end of the hippie era towards the exploitation and splatter horror genres. Maybe both.
Adam White I also thought that was his best performance in the movie. Also worth mentioning that it was DiCaprio’s idea for Dalton to forget his lines and the scene in the trailer when Dalton freaks out is completely improvised. What a great actor DiCaprio is!
After hearing numerous bad reviews about this film I thought I would give it a try, all I can say is what a film, totally blew my mind. The cinematography was outstanding, the use of film instead of digital was amazing giving classic cinema look and I rate this film as one of Tarantino’s best.
Saw the movie last night. The moment Dalton brought that flamethrower out from his tool shed the entire theatre was in hysterics. As always Tarantino never ceases to impress
My problem with that scene was.. it you're standing waist deep in a *swimming pool* and someone is shooting you with a flame thrower, you're going dunk your head into the water to put out the fire, not just STAND THERE and allow yourself to be torched
I know I cried quite literally with relief at the end. I was so happy they made it out alive. This is the kind of subverting expectations that will stick with me for a very long time.
I love the ending scene in which Rick enters the gates to Polanski's mansion. The fictional character who survived meets people who did exist but did not survive in real life.
I'm 65 years old, so I remember the Tate/LaBianca murders very well. However I need to remind myself that not everyone on this post is anywhere near as old as me. There is no way they could have any recollection of the murders. People have a tendency to assume that if they are aware of something, then everyone else is. But that isn't the case. The alternate ending was tremendous.
Ole Charles Manson still looks as crazy today as he did in 60's. I was a kid when the book "Helter Skelter" was out. That book radiated an evil aura . I was afraid to go near it . How can they even think to parole Charlie ? Let Manson die among folks so young they have to read the book to understand what he did.
@@asj13696 I thought that at first but there's only one cut of the film and I've checked it a few times, it definitely isn't pussycat that sells him the cigarette.
As a teenager in 1969, this movie was gloriously nostalgic for me! I was hooting and clapping for the ending. Leonardo D doing the twist(😍) so many great scenes!
Yea the moment they pulled up in the car was incredibly tense. That tension just kept building until BAM!! An explosion of violence that we were all desperately waiting for.
"never go with a hippie to a 2nd location." hahaha. This was a great movie. I felt so uneasy the whole time with the ending coming up and just like that it was one of the best and most satisfying endings ever
Yes, I was enjoying the film but the closer we got to the date of the murders the more I was dreading it. I was thinking that the violence unleashed on the Manson acolytes was Tarantino's (and a reflection of ours?) feelings against them and what they actually did. I found the ending when Rick met Sharon and the rest of the household really bittersweet and upsetting because of the "what if".
All I know is when DiCaprio came out of the pool house with the flame thrower I crapped myself laughing. The best possible home defence solution, every home should have one!
@@PizzPizzPewpPewp a reference to an Italian alias used by one of the American soldiers in Inglorious Basterds. It is used as the name of an Italian director in OUATIH.
There was a REAL Italian Director by the name of Antonio Marghereti also that the character in IB was named for..... have to research and understand how much QT knows about the history of film.
The ending brought tears in my eyes. I was touched when Rick gives Sharron tate a hug at the end. It was really for me a powerful ending. Perhaps it was more powerful than if we had seen real life.
That was it for me too! It was the first time I cried in a Tarantino movie. He honored Sharon in such a way that it's impossible not to mention it. If only...
You know what scene got me? Tate watching herself in the theater and taking in the audience's response. Some beautiful acting by Robbie that I didn't fully appreciate the first time through.
“We feel rescued from having to witness these deaths”. You are so right, I was dreading the ending, I was enjoying myself so much but when that night arrived I almost turned the movie off. I had read the novel Helter Skelter by Vincent Bougliousi, the attorney who prosecuted Manson and the family, and I knew what to expect, so I was not anticipating the murders. They were gruesome in the book, so I thought that actually watching it on screen would be too much. Having said that, I was cheering like gang busters when the would be assassins were getting killed one by one. And you’re so right that at the end all you feel is such a profound sadness knowing what really happened.
yeah, it was so damn funny, because Bruce was going on and on with those sounds during the whole scene, then Cliff just made only one little one out of nowhere -that's what really cracked me up!
it did frustrate me to see bruce portrayed that way, ngl. i know its just a fictional character here but its difficult to forget that image we have of him in our minds.
I feel like I did a huge mistake not knowing about the real history event of this movie before watching it. This gives a lot of scenes meaning that it didn't have before and i can appriciate the movie way more now. Thx for a great video
Lollo Larsson I agree, I went in not knowing any of these stories so that left me somewhat indifferent, but knowing the whole story now. I like it much better
I put off watching this movie for a long time. I remember reading all about the murders and had no desire to revisit that horrible event. I was cheering when the ending played out. My only sadness was when I thought Cliff was killed. But then I cheered again. Loved this movie! I don't know how anyone could appreciate this movie without knowing the history though.
i think rick dalton's epic meltdown scene in the trailer after forgetting his lines alone was worth watching the movie. Leo Dicaprio's improv acting is just surreal and satisfying to watch.
Brilliant movie, beautiful ending. I'm glad Quentin focused more on the wonderful Sharon Tate and less on Charles Manson, that monster had too much media attention.
I saw this movie in a theater. Even though it's over two and a half hours long, I didn't want it to end. I just wanted to stay there and have it keep going.
I ain't gonna lie, when the manson family came to Rick's house and saw them get the shit kicked out of them, everyone in the theater cheered watching it!
I went to see this movie thinking it was going to be an actual retelling of the Manson murders I remember so well at the time in the early 70s. Seeing Tarantino's "Happy Ending" version came as a total shock -- and it was an incredible psychological experience. I went from the dread of seeing the anticipated horrific true retelling of the story to the fictional/fantasy "Hollywood Ending" version...and, to use a 60s expression -- it completely "blew my mind"!!! Not since "Pulp Fiction" or "The Sixth Sense" was I so completely "had"! Pure entertaining brilliance, thought-provoking as Hell, and a cinematic tour de force. Best film of the year--oh...what the Hell..."of the decade"!!!
308W82; Oh so very well stated! I also felt that the ending was the PERFECT WAY to end a thoroughly entertaining movie. "Once upon a time in Hollywood" is my favorite Tarantino movie with "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs" both a close 2nd and 3rd!
Totally agree with you! I was so dreading the ending, felt a little sick knowing what was coming and was completely surprised by Tarantino's ending...and when they showed the "Once upon a time in Hollywood" at the end I could have cried! If only this was how it happened! My sister and I were blown away! Thank you, Tarantino for this ending! It was brilliant! 💕
The plot point that the mansons would like to kill the ones that taught them to kill is a reference to the backlash Tarantino used to receive for his excessive violence and accusasions of enabling violence amongs youth, especially from the Kill Bill movies. Pretty cool reference and not dumb!!
If only the real ending was like the movie. I laughed at and applauded the brutal killings of the Manson family members, during the movie. Then reality set in again... I prayed for the families affected...
I lived in Los Angeles in 1969 as a young child. I remember the fear it brought to my parents. This coming on the heels of the L.A. WATTS riots of 1965. Prayer works, when one has faith. There are too many people that have lost it. That is sad.
The ending was bittersweet for me. I tear up just thinking about it. My sister was murdered during the Hillside Strangler murders. I remember wishing I could have somehow changed what happened that day.
Also the actor portraying George was same actor playing colonel Smithers in The Hateful Eight, which was around the time Lincoln was president... If you know what I mean!!
Despite the beat-em-up scene at the end (which was really satisfying tbh) I left the movie theater feeling dazzled and lighthearted. The film gave off a very chill vibe and I loved it.
When he caught his hand mid knife-swing... I had to replay that instantly.. Amazing, Brad Pitt played such a cool character. And he was tripping on LSD..just made it so much better.
I saw the movie 3 times in theaters & have watched it as many times since purchasing it on blu ray. It is something that subverts all expectations as a Tarantino film but in a very good way. The revisions to everything & showing how things could be different is a great commentary on how we as a society more often than not romanticize the past while fearing the future.
I like when Cliff Booth (Pitt) is trying to remember Tex's name and Tex says "I am the devil here to do the devil's work" and Booth replies "Nah, it was dumber than that".
Ridiculing that stupid line that he actually said in real life xD Tarantino is the best!
Or when he says, he said he came to do some devil shit 🤣

When Kurt Russell started the timeline, I almost quit watching...then I remembered it was Tarantino. Margo Robbie was great.
Agreed 💯
"I'm just one pool party away from a Roman Polanski film." Movie ending with a flamethrowing pool party introducing Rick to his neighbors.
Also with Tate never being murdered Polanski likely never statutory rapes a 13 year old.
Hadn't noticed that. Thanks.
i remember Charlie Manson interview from San Quentin when he talk about the children trying to get unlock from the second world war they are trying to get off the burning monk burning himself to death because something is not right, well rick dalton play a world war 2 character and use a flame thrower to burn nazi, how ironic.

The ending was essentially Hollywood’s revenge on the Manson Family. Quentin is an absolute genius.

that second take over acting before his meltdown was great
Funniest thing I’ve ever seen
Must be incredibly difficult trying to act as if you don’t know how to act especially when you’re an experience actor like Leonardo DiCaprio.
I'm smelling an Oscar for Leo.
Nothing to explain - this was the most satisfying ending to a movie in a very long time
The scene where Cliff is at the ranch and is trying to check up on Spahn: bone-chilling.
It was very intense and i thought Cliff was in trouble especially when all of the "family" came outside.
Um, yep!...I was so sure it was coming I put my fingers in my ears. Intense.
The Spahn Ranch scene was like was like a real western.
Best scene of the movie.
Especially given the murders of Shorty Shea and Gary Hinman. Shea in particular was probably killed at Spahn Ranch.
The best part about the movie for me was the Rick and Cliff friendship, everybody deserves a friend like Cliff!
He tries.
everyone would be happier with a friend like Cliff
There is no Cliff without Rick.
I wish I were Cliff.
Juan Felipe Riveros cool

So many great scenes in this film. Leonardo was phenomenal, but I think Brad Pitt stole the movie. And I love that at the end Rick tells Cliff that he's a good friend.
"I try"
Brad... and Brandy!
Only thing that can be stolen from Leo were all those Oscars.

I didn't feel the tension...I saw the implied tension but certainly didn't feel it. Tension is the main thing the movie lacks in my opinion.
“To my wife and all my sweethearts may they never meet” best line of the movie

I guess i’m the only who didn’t like it. My main problem with the film is it was waaay too long. Yeah i understood the story, but this movie could have been a lot better if it was an hour shorter.
I love seeing Tarantino movies in the theater - something about laughing at horrific, over-the-top violence with a room full of strangers makes the world seem like an alright kind of place.
Shit this hits hard
I saw it today and laughing with the entire theatre at Rick pulling out a flamethrower was the highlight of the experience
Cannot agree more
so glad I saw it in the cinema
This was the first tarantino movie I saw in the theater. And we only have one more to come. After that, nobody is never gonna see a tarantino movie in the theater.
Tarantino films are just rockstar games as movies
Rockstar games are just ripping off Tarantino movies
So you mean, "satire". I can see that.
never a shit one
Yes
Or South Park episodes as live action movies!
I was never a big Tarantino fan until I saw this film. Having lived during this era, I was fully expecting the Manson family to do what they had done originally, and the tension kept mounting for me. When I saw the way it ended, it was like a massive pressure realease. I loved it!
The ending was so awesome that it made me sad. If only it could have happened like that.
I think that’s exactly what we were meant to feel, especially those of us who lived through that time.
My exact words in the theater at the end..."if only."
I remember when it happened. I was a young teenager. It scared me to death. We didn't have 24 hour news then, but the networks covered it. Was Horrifying. I wish it could've ended that way. I wish that sonabitch, Charles Manson could've seen this movie.
@@maxinefreeman8858 damn
That’s how I felt
i am so happy the dog wasn’t killed off i loved the ending
Yasmin Rodrguez 💯So sick of dogs dying as shorthand for cruelty

The tension was intense and the ending was one of the most satisfying endings in any movie I’ve seen.
The ending felt like Inglorious Basterds’.
A super satisfying but violent end.
The most cathartic ending I can remember in a long time. The whole movie saunders along, building the time and place. Giving us time to connect to these characters all the while knowing something tragic is approaching. And then....Tarantino happens. The tone flips, tragedy becomes comedy, the anticipated violence explodes all over the screen and it's more glorious than you could have imagined. I dare anyone not to leave this movie with a smile on their face.
Aaron Adrian i never thought I would leave a Tarantino movie saying “aww”
I'm a huge Tarantino fan, but personally I couldn't help but be unsatisfied with that ending. I'll have to see it again soon.
Well ill just say you can't have seen many films.
When I saw it in the theater, the audience cheered when the bad guys got their asses kicked. First time I've seen that in decades.
When Captian America beat up Thanos with Mjolnir, I remember people clapping...
Like the end of Get Out, too
"Once upon a time" implies a fairy tale. I'm glad Tarantino gave it a happy ending.
he always does...in his own, unique, way
My first thought after watching was this film is that it is a beautiful, touching love letter to Sharon Tate.
Right?! I mean.. Margot was perfect chicd for Sharon. I love both of them since watching the movie..
I love rewatching the ending. But after, reality hits and I'm sad again.
A love note to Hollywood as well.
I thought that too!
"I am the devil, and I'm here to do the devil's business."
Cliff - (laughing completely stoned)
"Rex?"
more like tripping on acid
He said he was here to do devil shit. I dont know that's not verbatim.
Nah it was dumber than that
Did anyone catch the “Antonio Margheriti” Easter egg from Inglorious Basterds?
DJ Garett what was it?
@@caitlinguerin5462 one of the references to directors, authors, etc in the counting off of Rick's Italian films...
“Marrgheriiti”👌🏽
Yeah lmaoo loved it
Yes!! I loved that
The end was the most reasonable violence of all Tarantino's movies...
Agreed.
............... django is a movie that was made, inflicting violence on racist slaveowners who terrorized and tortured for hundreds of years, which the effects of are still felt to this day..........
but THIS was the one for Tom & Travis.
I would say Django's violence was more impactful. But this is very very very veryyyyy close to that level.
Very. Much. Agree.
tbh Ingolorious Basterds and Django were just as justified
The moment where Cliff aims the finger gun at Tex and laughs is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
Totally Cowboy Bebop
I think the chariot race in Ben-Hur ranks right up there.
Scarlett shooting the Yankee in the face wasn't too shabby.
I love how Tarantino decided to make movie about a day in the life of these great characters, rather than putting them through a melodramatic story
It was kinda like "Friday" but in Hollywood
@@b.7944 technically 3 days (plus a montage of Italian movies), but "a day in the life" is an expression for just letting is see a character live.
I wish this ending had happened for real.
that is why the ending is in fact sadder, and leaves a melancholy feeling
we all do.
The reason I love Tarantinos happy endings is because they play out exaclty how we wished evil people would be dealt with,
After we read about how history Actually played out in real life
Like with Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds
this movie is a veiled accusation at polanski

The ending of this movie caught me so off guard, and that was so satisfying to watch. If only the actual events went down that way.
"Never go with a hippy to a second location" 😂
True that
Yes, streetwise, because you'll meet at least one envious, violent homeless junky.
Incredible
One of the most quotable 30 Rock moments
The Manson murders were seen as the symbolic and brutal end of the sixties and the loss of innocence and naiveté of the hippie generation. Notwithstanding the fact that they occurred before Woodstock. I think Tarantino’s fairy tale ending was a fantasy about returning to this terrible event and deleting it from history, so the sixties could live on.
Mark W idk about that. Honestly, i just think that Tarantino uses the murders as a device to create a suspenseful and then a big relief happy ending. He knows everyone in Hollywood has a lot of charge on the Tate murders and just uses it to press the audience buttons
Okay. So why even include the Manson family? It was just weird.
It was what should have happened, "if only" was my comment.
Maybe.
Maybe the exploitation movie style ending was a comment on how just like the zeitgeist changed from John Wayne style movies to Italo Westerns by the end of the fifties / beginning of the sixties, it changed again by the end of the hippie era towards the exploitation and splatter horror genres.
Maybe both.
Mark W I’d like this too but I think 420 is enough
Rick trashing his trailer after messing up the lines is just an amazing scene
Adam White I also thought that was his best performance in the movie. Also worth mentioning that it was DiCaprio’s idea for Dalton to forget his lines and the scene in the trailer when Dalton freaks out is completely improvised. What a great actor DiCaprio is!
After hearing numerous bad reviews about this film I thought I would give it a try, all I can say is what a film, totally blew my mind. The cinematography was outstanding, the use of film instead of digital was amazing giving classic cinema look and I rate this film as one of Tarantino’s best.
Saw the movie last night. The moment Dalton brought that flamethrower out from his tool shed the entire theatre was in hysterics.
As always Tarantino never ceases to impress
i was dying watching him shuffle like a Dad to his shed
My problem with that scene was.. it you're standing waist deep in a *swimming pool* and someone is shooting you with a flame thrower, you're going dunk your head into the water to put out the fire, not just STAND THERE and allow yourself to be torched
@@jeffbridges5312 Yeah, because realism is what you look for in a Tarantino movie.
@@borzowsky Negroid please. Standing in a swimming pool being torched and not opting to go underwater is a bridge way to far for even him

I think it's Tarantino's funniest movie. One of his best screenplays. Leo and Brad are awesome. I will watch the movie multiple times

Dog = 385,579,478,325 - 0

It was not his career the dog ended LOL
Is this joke related to deshawn raw freestyle battle?
Tex's Nuts: *Exist*
Cliffs Dog: Its free real estate
I know I cried quite literally with relief at the end. I was so happy they made it out alive. This is the kind of subverting expectations that will stick with me for a very long time.
I love the ending scene in which Rick enters the gates to Polanski's mansion. The fictional character who survived meets people who did exist but did not survive in real life.
This makes me sad
So Rick Dalton REALLY was just one "pool party" away from starring in the next Polanski movie.
I'm 65 years old, so I remember the Tate/LaBianca murders very well. However I need to remind myself that not everyone on this post is anywhere near as old as me. There is no way they could have any recollection of the murders. People have a tendency to assume that if they are aware of something, then everyone else is. But that isn't the case.
The alternate ending was tremendous.
Me too. This is silly but I actually shed a tear when Rick was talking with Jay at the fence. Like "if only".
Ole Charles Manson still looks as crazy today as he did in 60's. I was a kid when the book "Helter Skelter" was out. That book radiated an evil aura . I was afraid to go near it . How can they even think to parole Charlie ?
Let Manson die among folks so young they have to read the book to understand what he did.

God the title of this movie is so mind blowing to me. After everything he explained I see why the title is what it is.
Me too! It makes perfect sense to me now.
Loved the tension style of the 3 heading up the street. Classic Tarantino
Reminded me of Us
It was like when the squad pulled up on the bride
Yea the moment they pulled up in the car was incredibly tense. That tension just kept building until BAM!! An explosion of violence that we were all desperately waiting for.
Tarantino could make a damn good horror movie if he wanted to.
@@dayzeereyes128 Bingo.
"never go with a hippie to a 2nd location." hahaha. This was a great movie. I felt so uneasy the whole time with the ending coming up and just like that it was one of the best and most satisfying endings ever
Yes, I was enjoying the film but the closer we got to the date of the murders the more I was dreading it. I was thinking that the violence unleashed on the Manson acolytes was Tarantino's (and a reflection of ours?) feelings against them and what they actually did.
I found the ending when Rick met Sharon and the rest of the household really bittersweet and upsetting because of the "what if".
All I know is when DiCaprio came out of the pool house with the flame thrower I crapped myself laughing. The best possible home defence solution, every home should have one!

When Cliff was slamming the girls head off everything in the room I was dying.
Ultimate games me to
My favorite was the mantlepiece which looked like a cement curbstone. That was revenge for Sharon - in 'reel' life.
The ending brought tears in my eyes. I was touched when Rick gives Sharron tate a hug at the end. It was really for me a powerful ending. Perhaps it was more powerful than if we had seen real life.
That was it for me too! It was the first time I cried in a Tarantino movie. He honored Sharon in such a way that it's impossible not to mention it. If only...
Yes, that scene from an above camera angle really hit me.
Was very powerful for me too...that is true cinema.
I liked the real life ending better.
You know what scene got me? Tate watching herself in the theater and taking in the audience's response. Some beautiful acting by Robbie that I didn't fully appreciate the first time through.
The pit bull Brandy won the Palm Dog Award ay the Cannes Film Festival in 2019!

Daniel Zeinstra LOL ! Cannes is more prestigious!
“We feel rescued from having to witness these deaths”. You are so right, I was dreading the ending, I was enjoying myself so much but when that night arrived I almost turned the movie off. I had read the novel Helter Skelter by Vincent Bougliousi, the attorney who prosecuted Manson and the family, and I knew what to expect, so I was not anticipating the murders. They were gruesome in the book, so I thought that actually watching it on screen would be too much. Having said that, I was cheering like gang busters when the would be assassins were getting killed one by one. And you’re so right that at the end all you feel is such a profound sadness knowing what really happened.
When Cliff was fighting Bruce and he made the kung-fu sounds...that was fecking hilarious
yeah, it was so damn funny, because Bruce was going on and on with those sounds during the whole scene, then Cliff just made only one little one out of nowhere -that's what really cracked me up!
it did frustrate me to see bruce portrayed that way, ngl. i know its just a fictional character here but its difficult to forget that image we have of him in our minds.
I feel like I did a huge mistake not knowing about the real history event of this movie before watching it. This gives a lot of scenes meaning that it didn't have before and i can appriciate the movie way more now. Thx for a great video
Lollo Larsson I agree, I went in not knowing any of these stories so that left me somewhat indifferent, but knowing the whole story now. I like it much better
The perfect companion piece to Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (strictly IMO) is the 1976 television movie Helter Skelter about the Tate-LaBianca trial.
OllieByGolly One creepy film. Manson looks at the prosecutor and his watch stops.
@@OllieByGolly you are so right!! Deeply telling movie!

Jamacian FatBoi same I can’t stop smiling.
yikes
It was extremely satisfying ! For sure!
Shame about the rest of the movie *yawn*
I put off watching this movie for a long time. I remember reading all about the murders and had no desire to revisit that horrible event. I was cheering when the ending played out. My only sadness was when I thought Cliff was killed. But then I cheered again. Loved this movie! I don't know how anyone could appreciate this movie without knowing the history though.
i think rick dalton's epic meltdown scene in the trailer after forgetting his lines alone was worth watching the movie. Leo Dicaprio's improv acting is just surreal and satisfying to watch.
Brilliant movie, beautiful ending. I'm glad Quentin focused more on the wonderful Sharon Tate and less on Charles Manson, that monster had too much media attention.
Loved the ending. I laughed my ass off while simultaneously covering my eyes. Pitt and DiCaprio were amazing.
I saw this movie in a theater. Even though it's over two and a half hours long, I didn't want it to end. I just wanted to stay there and have it keep going.
I ain't gonna lie, when the manson family came to Rick's house and saw them get the shit kicked out of them, everyone in the theater cheered watching it!

@@rpc717 you must not go see many movies. LOL
At that point we were laughing at the movie, not with it. It was just ridiculous revenge porn.
I went to see this movie thinking it was going to be an actual retelling of the Manson murders I remember so well at the time in the early 70s. Seeing Tarantino's "Happy Ending" version came as a total shock -- and it was an incredible psychological experience. I went from the dread of seeing the anticipated horrific true retelling of the story to the fictional/fantasy "Hollywood Ending" version...and, to use a 60s expression -- it completely "blew my mind"!!! Not since "Pulp Fiction" or "The Sixth Sense" was I so completely "had"! Pure entertaining brilliance, thought-provoking as Hell, and a cinematic tour de force. Best film of the year--oh...what the Hell..."of the decade"!!!
Felt the same way.
308W82; Oh so very well stated! I also felt that the ending was the PERFECT WAY to end a thoroughly entertaining movie. "Once upon a time in Hollywood" is my favorite Tarantino movie with "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs" both a close 2nd and 3rd!
Totally agree with you! I was so dreading the ending, felt a little sick knowing what was coming and was completely surprised by Tarantino's ending...and when they showed the "Once upon a time in Hollywood" at the end I could have cried! If only this was how it happened! My sister and I were blown away! Thank you, Tarantino for this ending! It was brilliant! 💕
The plot point that the mansons would like to kill the ones that taught them to kill is a reference to the backlash Tarantino used to receive for his excessive violence and accusasions of enabling violence amongs youth, especially from the Kill Bill movies. Pretty cool reference and not dumb!!
If only the real ending was like the movie. I laughed at and applauded the brutal killings of the Manson family members, during the movie. Then reality set in again... I prayed for the families affected...
I also applauded! I was saying "Yeah get them! Rip em apart dogo! "

The Hippie Ranch Scene with George in the bed and Cliff says its "Cliff Booth" and the old mans replies "John Wilkes Booth". LMFAO!
George just said what everyone was thinking
Also the actor portraying George was same actor playing colonel Smithers in The Hateful Eight, which was around the time Lincoln was president... If you know what I mean!!
The ending was very satisfying to be honest. Especially after knowing they were real life killers. Obviously talking about the Manson family.
Despite the beat-em-up scene at the end (which was really satisfying tbh) I left the movie theater feeling dazzled and lighthearted. The film gave off a very chill vibe and I loved it.

“Don’t cry in front of the Mexicans”
It's when Leo is feeling forgotten in the beginning of the movie
Jajajaja that scene felt super meta as a mexican in a theatre full of mexicans, probably my favorite joke of the movie.
My novia laughed at his scene soo hard lol
I saw the movie 3 times in theaters & have watched it as many times since purchasing it on blu ray. It is something that subverts all expectations as a Tarantino film but in a very good way. The revisions to everything & showing how things could be different is a great commentary on how we as a society more often than not romanticize the past while fearing the future.
