      Definitely the most unflattering portrayal of Bruce Lee I've ever seen. And I'm not talking about the actor. There's not a legitimate martial artist out there that would leave their feet with some flying kick to open a fight unless they want to get slammed like an amateur. And that's how Tarantino portrayed the legend Bruce Lee. And why? For laughs? Hmm... Okay whatever

      I loved the climax as well, but I get what they're saying - there wasn't really a proper movie-long build up to it like Django or Basterds. Within the movie itself it just sort of happens. Plus, as much as I love Dicaprio with the flamethrower, thinking about it afterward, it is a bit of a random reaction and a bit out of place for a character whom we saw no violence in towards others before - a knife-wielding chick crashes into his pool, and his instant thought is "Flamethrower!" great scene though.

    Most of the scenes with Margot were clearly just to pay respect to Sharon Tate and remind everyone that this was a human being and a great person (and maybe to remind younger people of who she was). It's a nice idea, but these scenes slowed down the story and never really led to anything. You could have cut out that whole bit with her going to the movies, and I think it would have helped the story immensely. Better to leave her appearances at the beginning and end of the movie, unless you're going to feature her in a way that ties into the main (fictional) story better.

      I respect your opinion but the story telling in this movie is unconventional to Americans. Americans like movies to go from point a to b in rapid fashion. Where as this movie likes to harness the moment. If you cut out the movie sequence. You probably should just cut out all her scenes. There was a point to the scene it wasn't just there as filler. I went to film school and every scene has a meaning but that is for me to know and you to figure out.

And I'm a nobody but for you to understand movies better than me. You would have to start studying films now 5 hours a day for the next 20 years.

      I can only watch the second half of Death Proof. I can't watch the first half. I know it's acting as an homage to those slow burn exploitation movies of the 70's but honestly it was painful. I pretty much start at where Mike leaves the bar kills the first group, then the MacGraws discuss what could happen next and set off with the second group all of whom I thought were better than the first. The one question that still bugs me is what happened to Lee with Jasper?

    Damn y’all kinda missed the point of the movie. This isn’t one of those movies you can blindly go into once and never watch it again. You have to understand where Tarantino is coming from and why it was made the way it was. The reason Sharon Tate was “underdeveloped” was because she isn’t another goofy Tarantino character, she was a real person with real baggage. By diving deeper into who she is, you uncover her flaws and insecurities, which Tarantino didn’t want to do, he wanted to portray her happy full of life. The scene where she is watching the wrecking crew was done to show her respect and to remind people that she’s not just a murder victim or just another famous person who died but a human who had dreams

Finally, even if you have are willing to believe Bruce Lee as egotistical, he didn't deserve the treatment that was portrayed in this film.

    This is gonna be one of those movies with a huge following after rewatch because I feel like people were too into the idea that this film was only going to be about the Manson murders but it truly is for the most part a hang out/ slice of Hollywood life movie that doesnt truly have a narrative but still flows through the lives of these people who represent different parts of Hollywood. The performances are amazing and Pitt absolutely steals the show as Cliff. The literal only issue I had with this movie was that the Bruce Lee scene should have been much longer and I know for a fact that huge Lee fans are going to hate that scene because it depicts a fictional stuntman as an equal to arguably the most influential onscreen and real life martial artist and having him thrown into a car is definitely gonna throw people off but nevertheless, this is a work of fiction and an attempt to mock America's view of Asian Americans in film culture. Mike moh killed it though. Also, the ending 10 minutes seem to be everyone's favorite part but even if it didnt happen, the movie would be great.

    The thing about the perm on the actor portraying Steve McQueen. Back in 1969, McQueen did in fact have a similar perm. If you search his name and that year on Google Images you’ll see pics of him with that perm. Some of those photos also feature him at parties talking to Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski. Funny thing about hair in the film, as much as people are against Bruce Lee’s depiction in the film, his hair isn’t right. When Lee costarred in The Green Hornet his hair was cut much shorter. In this Tarantino flick Mike Mo is wearing Lee’s hair that he had later in the early 70s during filming of something like Enter The Dragon or Game Of Death.
    Back to the Playboy Mansion party scene-That couldn’t have even occurred. That too is an anachronism. While A Playboy Mansion did exist in Chicago since the late 50s, at that point in time that Los Angeles house wasn’t yet owned by Hugh Hefner. In 1969 that mansion was a private residence. Hefner purchased it in 1971 then later moved into the place in 1974 until the time of his death.

They viewed it like it was just some storyline. I personally felt as if Quentin wrote for someone he loved dearly. This felt personal. He hated those hippy fucks for what they did. I felt it.

    He created this world he is so in loved in and created characters to inhabit this world and function while there is an underlying story playing out with events that occur. All, Rick & Cliff do can be considered side missions while progressing the story until they reach their climax. Is that very much like how GTA plays out in a way? You can spend most GTA games just exploring the world. Even, Quentin's use of the radio and TV plays out similarly like GTA.
