    Tarantino seems to be increasingly self aware and reflective in his recent films. Writers write what they know so it makes sense to me that he would parallel his personal meditative themes in Once Upon a Time... I hadn't been able to pinpoint what made this film feel so different from his other work and why I still liked it so much. It's great to have a reasonable explanation to put my finger on. Thanks Wisecrack. Keep up the good work.

    When Jules says "C'mon, let's get into character", I don't think it was intended to break the 4th wall. I think that the movie wants show to us that gang members are like normal guys talking about "conventional" stuff like foot massages and hamburgers. But when they are about to go on a mission they have to get into their gangster personality which is to be intimidating, strong and dominant. That's what Jules mean when he says they should get into character i. e their gangster character.

      Double entendre. To have an actor say “let’s get into character” in a movie is a very clear and distinct word choice, it’s hard to imagine it being a coincidence for someone like Tarantino who works so much on and is known for his dialogue, and even harder to imagine that it was a coincidence and he didn’t notice the coincidence. Just because it means one thing doesn’t mean it can’t mean the other.

    Tarantino romanticizes Holloywood, but his lengthy, novelistic style is actually better suited for the streaming era. Netflix will gladly grant him any budget he desires with no stings attached. The exteneded version of The Hateful Eight, which is essentially the directors cut, is a Netlix exclusive that adds around 40 minutes of additional footage while splitting the film into four 1-hour chapters. The episodic structure makes the film much less of a slog to get through despite its longer length.
    The beauty of this potential new stage in his career is that he does not have to make a single compromise. Want to shoot in 75mm? No probem, Netflix will cover that. Want to make a 6-hour film? Go ahead. Hell, Netflix will even provide the funds for a limited-run road show. Tarantino's best years are still ahead of him if he can move past the nostalgia of a bygone era.

      I understand what you are trying to say, but it is demonstrably false. Netflix has proven to be a significant cultural influencer in the 21st century. Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Bird Box, say what you want about them, but there is no denying the effect they've had on popular culture. If something is popular on Netflix, you will know it. I don't care what your recommended suggestions are.

      Both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time would have been better in episode format... All his movies since Kill Bill have begged this format. Unless he's willing to trim it up more favorably like Inglorious Basterds, then it's going to be a bit of a slog. The problem with both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time is there wasn't enough time to flesh out the characters. We didn't know much about the Domingre gang to care about their presence.. We didn't get to live much about Rick Dalton's background to care about his downfall. I've been saying this for a while, he needs to just move on and make bad ass short series

    The standoff scene as you call it was a "once upon a time" for Cliff just like Sharon in the end.
    There was a stunt man named Shorty Shae who went to the Spahn Ranch who was killed by the guy Brad Pitt punches out, Steve Grogan. Shorty's body was found buried at the ranch in 1977.
    If you knew that going into the scene the hairs on the back of your head would have stood up. The relief of seeing Cliff just drive off is just like seeing Sharon live in the end.
    But before the credits end you realize that both Shorty and Sharon are really dead and it was just, once upon a time.
    The little "once upon a time" with Shorty parallels Cliff's little flashback in a flashback. In the middle of Cliff's flashback with Bruce Lee is a second flashback of him and the wife he supposedly killed named Natalie. (an obvious reference to Natalie Wood)
    Does this qualify as an inclusio? Don't know. But still very interesting.

    I think the problem isn't the introduction of streaming, movies survived the introduction of television, to me the problem is Hollywood's need to be the definitive movie epicenter, Hollywood not only thinks it's the only place where legitimate movies come from but has an obsessive need for that to be the case, hence why just about every movie not under a Hollywood studio banner, such as movies made by Laika or truly fantastic anime films like Your Name, is snubbed by Hollywood's own self indulgent award show The Oscars, as you mentioned in a previous video. I think what would help film, and subsequently Quentin Tarantino, is to stop Hollywood's monopolizing movies and to free film from the shackles of Hollywood dominance.

    • @alexman378
      @alexman378 4 года назад +29

      It’s just history repeating itself. Streaming gave new power to ideas nobody else would take from nobodies. These nobodies made a name out of themselves because some of those ideas were really good and just didn’t have enough financial support. This diversified media to a very big extent. Similarly to what happened in old Hollywood, risk taking was what gave streaming its power. And I feel like streaming will do the same eventually. It will only give power to those they know and snub the lesser known people with riskier ideas, and then something new will show up.

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

    According to him, his 10th and last movie have more chances to be some kind of epilogue to his filmography (Been "Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood" the climax) than a big final bang.

    Since this was early 1969, that means the film was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (arguably, one of the greatest, if not _the_ greatest Western ever created). - Something that would have for sure revitalized his career.

The buildup of tension, with calm dialogue and quiet visuals, is stunning in its impact. For that reason alone I will pay to see whatever this master director comes out with in the future.

    I graduated HS in May 1969 and then the Manson murders took place in early August which were horrifying but then Woodstock happened and the earlier horror (for me) evolved into hope. Easy Rider shown a light of possibility with the commune scene only to break it with the murder of D Hopper's character at the end. My music idols Led Zeppelin evolved into Glam Rock and movies like "Deer Hunter" "Faces of Death" and "Halloween" shocked my still naive sensibilities. Porn like "Deep Throat", "Devil in Miss Jones" etc were being shown in big screen theaters and I knew my particular view of the world would never be realized. Time and culture passes us all by to move on to something we would never have intended or even wanted, but it happens none the less.

    As an avid Tarantino fan, my issue with his later work has been lack of discipline. The man clearly adores film, the lore of his own films, every tiny detail of the world of his films, etc. However, the audience isn't AS interested as he is. Don't get me wrong - I have total respect for the sheer passion he has for building these stories. However, due to the reputation, power, influence, and well-earned respect he has in the film industry, it means nobody is reigning him back when he's deciding what and what not to put in the final cut of the film. Hateful Eight and this film contain 30-40 minutes-worth content that doesn't need to be there. I understand the need to linger on the tension or atmosphere of a scene, but he does this all the time now. It seems that all/most of the effort put into the film is the furniture rather than to pursue a clear plot and story. In Once Upon a Time, there are whole sequences that convey nothing about the story, plot, or character of the film. The driving-around-60s-LA sequences were cool at first, but not when they happen constantly AND outstay their welcome. It's a shame since I love EVERYTHING else about the film; the writing, the humour, the acting, the characters, the detail, etc. It's just SO baggy. Compare it to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs or even something like Django Unchained and you'll see how much this film meanders with so much excess fat that could be trimmed. I have only seen it once however so I'm going to rewatch it and perhaps knowing where the film is going will lessen the sensation of the film going nowhere.

      MeanMisterWalrus 100% agree . Reservoir dogs and pulp fiction have zero fat on them , his last 4 movies have been very bloated and self indulgent.

    The actor playing Dalton's director was hauntingly familiar to me, even with his grey hair. I had to resort to IMDB, and I laughed out loud when I read it was Nicholas Hammond! The guy starred as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in that dreadful TV show from the late '70s! Awesome that Tarantino cast him!

    It was definitely a self reflection on Tarantino's career and himself, but I also don't like a self reflection more than his movies. Probably my least favorite Tarantino, but still a cool film.

      I would put it above Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight and Django Unchained myself. But I'm a sucker for the kind of nostalgic intent that Tarantino was trying to achieve in this movie so...

      Tarantino's 1969 movie career? When he was 6? And knew all about cinema of the time period?

      @@Scorch428 No... There was an obvious meta to his career going on throughout the movie, I think he confirmed this himself to, he referenced every one of his movies and Leo was supposed to be him feeling slowly more out of touch in today's age of film
