Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Production Design and Best Supporting Actor Brad Pitt.
Should have won TWICE for the production design. Some of the best and most detailed I've seen in a film in a LONG TIME.
Oh, I Didn't know that I Learned Something New Everyday, Thanks 👍
Love this movies
I was 22 yrs when this happened so I know a lot about the event. Really caught world recognition. Captured a generation. Great movie, LOVE the ending
Augmented in no small part by Vincent Bugliosi's vivid imagination.
My mom’s high school sweetheart was Steven Parent, the actual first victim the night of the Tate murders. He was a fresh out of high school kid in the wrong place at the wrong time there to sell electronic equipment to the ground’s keeper. Her prom photo with him is in the book Helter Skelter and the same picture still hangs in her house. She still gets upset when that August date rolls around and has only spoken publicly once about it in 50 years on a podcast a couple years ago. I took her to see this movie and she was pretty shooken up. I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing that they didn’t include him in the movie.
I heard your mom on that podcast. She sounds like a very down to earth lady. Her retelling of her time with Steven Parent was so interesting, I've listened to it about three times
Sadly, according to Gene Lebell...a former wrestler who did stunts on the Green Hornet tv show....Bruce was a cocky guy...remember Bruce was sent to America cause he got in trouble in Hong Kong as a teenager.
I admire his skills and philosophy but one must see all sides of the man.
He was a giant prick to crews and stunt performers. He would constantly injure people and blame them for not being strong enough.
FYI: The actor who told Tarantino he had lived with his stunt double for a time was none other than Burt Reynolds. His longtime stunt double was Hal Needham, who later went on to direct Smokey and The Bandit, Cannonball Run and other films - most starring Reynolds.
33:38 is Austin Butler. The guy who played Elvis! He's playing the role of Tex Watson. xo :)
Great reaction! The first time I saw this I cried at the end because it was what I really wished had happened in real life.
My husband was so mesmerized after this one, I actually had to drag him out of the theatre, saying, sweetie, this is it, no more scenes, please let the staff do their job 😂
Love your reactions, you remind me of how I used to watch movies with my late dad ❤. Cheers from Holland!
❤
And I just realized that the lead hippie chick in Brad’s car is little B.B. from Kill Bill Vol. 2 !
6:52 He's driving a Karman Ghia in this scene which is exactly like the car Uma Thurman drove in Kill Bill vol 2 that she had crashed.
Director went to get approval with Sharon Tate's sister. She told him she wished the ending did happen like that! Sharon Tate has one sister that is alive I believe they said. She has went all of the Manson family parole hearings.
Thanks you guys for doing this movie. I love that Mom knows the history.
agree - shes the most informed person ive ever seen react to this movie
Each time I've watched this film I appreciate it even more. Tarantino's attention to detail and his fondness for old school Hollywood was really mesmerizing. This was a great Reaction!
The song the girls sing in the dumpster is actually a Manson penned song
I had no idea going in to the movie that it was based on the Manson family. Caught on halfway through and absolutely loved the ending. That's probably the closest Tarantino will ever get to directing a fairytale.
Ever heard of Django?
Inglorious Basterds, anyone?
My new favourite movie even after a dozen or more watches, really captures those warm summer nights in 1969 Hollywood,just superb acting and film making ...then add you guys reacting and its even better! excellent job both 🤎❤
The last seconds always bring me close to tears.. such a nice fantasy
Really only Tarantino could make a movie like that out of a real tragic story like that
This is my favorite Tarantino film. I love biopics and movies about Old Hollywood, even if half of it is make-believe. The scene with Sharon Tate watching her movie in the theatre and enjoying everyone's reactions just warms my heart every time I watch it. Please react to True Romance next. It might be one of Quentin's greatest scripts, and it's directed by the legendary Tony Scott.
Cool that Austin Butler played Tex Watson, later to shine as Elvis! The Lancer director was played by Nicholas Hammond, who was Friedrich in The Sound of Music and TV’s Spider Man in the 70’s. Little Easter egg is that Timothy Olyphant, who played actor James Stacy is seen driving his motorcycle away from the Lancer set. Stacy ended up losing an arm and a leg in a horrible motorcycle accident.
Rick and Cliff were based on the real life friendship between Burt Reynolds and former stuntman turned director Hal Needham(Smokey and the Bandit) Kurt Russell's character was based in Hal Needham as well.
(Sarah) Margaret Qualley, who played the Manson girl that Cliff picked up, is Andie MacDowell's daughter.
Antonio Margheriti was a real life Italian film director.
Such a great film. A fun, terrific reaction. In real life, I often wonder how haunted Candice ("Candy") Bergen must be knowing how close she and Terry Melcher came to being the victims in the Cielo Drive house if they hadn't moved out to his mom's (Doris Day) Malibu beach house shortly before.
Quentin and Leo gave Rick a backstory of having manic depression and self-medicating with alcohol. He was inspired by a real actor who comitted suicide in the 70's and Quentin didn't understand why because he seemed like a successful actor.
My dad grew up in Los Angeles during this time and we were always there to visit and be with family. This movie captures the feel of LA so perfectly. It’s such a magical and beautiful place, outside all the movie stars and glitz. One of my favorite scenes is after Sharon walks by the theater before going into the bookstore. Walking across the street towards her are two young adults and they could be my dad and one of his sisters. Tarantino made a gorgeous film and a time capsule. I love it ❤️ My top 3 for Tarantino for sure!
Luke Perry also played Fred Andrews on Riverdale. He died of a stroke in early 2019, so this was probably his last performance.
I grew up in L.A. and I knew about this story. The radio station they were listening to was KHJ 930 AM, the most popular pop station in L.A. at the time.
You’re right! Burt Reynolds and his stuntman, Hal Needham were the inspiration!
Just started watching your channel, I’m turning 27 here soon and my mom passed about 8 years ago I would’ve loved making videos like this with her but I get to live a little bit through y’all’s reactions and can imagine, y’all are sweet can’t wait for more ❤
❤
I've only watched this movie on commercial TV; can't wait to see it without breaks. Nick, I know you said you saw this several times before but I love that your mom can give you some insight & perspective to the events & characters being depicted. Also, it's great seeing you enjoy sharing the experience (all over again, maybe even more) when your watching with Jen.
Laughed out loud with you at the pool scene, Great reaction both of you.
Enjoyed y’alls reactions to this. I’m probably around the same age as mom and I remember reading Helter Skelter as well. Charles Manson and his “family” will always be a source of fascination, I think. If only this ending was the real one. I’m so glad Austin Butler went on to star in Elvis!
The last bit with the Manson family was hilarious lol that's what should happen in real life lol
Notice how Steve says “I never stood a chance” .. That same line gets to me later when Rick Dalton mentions how he lost a role to Steve McQueen and says “I never stood a chance”… that line makes it poetic b/c where Steve wanted something/someone and was no match for it, other people (Rick) desired something Steve had and they were no match for it as well… very poetic on how they all chase things each other have.
This has been such a fun ride with you guys. I’m glad it’s continuing on a little, because I was dreading it being over.
A fun fact Jen might enjoy is the actor playing the director Sam Wanamaker is Fredrick from The Sound of Music. I spent so long trying to place his face and was blown away when I looked it up.
I have the same top 3 as Nick, but it really rotates, so I can never definitively say one is my favourite. They’re all masterpieces. Unpopular opinion but Django is at the bottom for me. It’s a lot of people’s favourites, but I find it an extremely uncomfortable watch. The performances are great, but it’s not a film I choose to watch in full.
That rendition of California Dreaming was done by Felipe Luciano
If I remember correctly, Rick Dalton's Cadillac is Mr. Blonde car from Reservoir Dogs
And is actually owned by “Mr. Blonde” himself, Michael Madsen.
Ain't it funny how these old classic cars in films are never dirty, or damaged? I don't remember it that way.
Wahoo! This will be a great one
Good one, you two! Much fun! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
I'm Glad You Both , Enjoyed This Great Quentin Tarantino Movie 👍 & As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions Guy's 😊
He’s a stunt man and former green beret that’s why he knows how to fight
The point of Kurt Russell jumping in suddenly and narrating at the beginning with the truth about something you just watched, is so you trust him completely when he starts narrating it like a True Crime story later... and thoroughly expect the worst.
It's an homage to the film industry
This was SO MUCH FUN. You guys are knocking it out of the park. Fried Green Tomatoes is also a classic and I loved your reaction. Since your Mom loves Helter Skelter…check out “ Chaos” by Tom O”Neil. It opens up a lot of questions about the cause of all the murders, and has a lot to add. He spent 20 years researching and writing it. He’s been interviewed all over RUclips. It will blow your mind! As usual, all my love from Brier, Washington. 😍🥰👊🏼
I'm commenting before I watch this reaction. I'm excited to see an older individual react to this film as they probably have a good recollection of what really happened and some of the people involved. So many reactors are to young to know what's really going on.
They actually shot some scenes with Burt Reynolds playing George.
This is another fun Tarantino film , very unexpected crazy moments for a movie about movies haha
The girl who drove away before all shit hits the fan is Maya Hawke Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman's daughter
I have seen it a few times, and I took a while before I watched a breakdown of the movie, and I got context to what happened in real life. That made the movie that much better! First time I thought it was weird.
What a magical movie, great reaction guys!
Fun fact: The characters, Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth, were inspired by Burt Reynolds and his stunt double who were good friends in real life. As a matter of fact, before he passed away, Burt Reynolds was set to portray George Spahn, played in the film by Bruce Dern.
I'm still lovin' your channel and reactions. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Great reaction to this!! It is great watching this video. I've seen about 10 reaction videos to this movie, and your mom is the first reactor that knows all the actors!!! That is excellent! And that actress Margaret Qualley is in the limited series Maid on Netflix. She was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes. In the last scene you didn't include the clip of Sharon Tate coming out to meet Rick Dalton. In that final scene Margot Robbie is wearing a number 17 football jersey. It's a Dallas Cowboys jersey, and number 17 was Dallas quarterback Don Meredith. Sharon Tate was from Dallas.
Mom seems like an awesome lady, cherish her dude
Fun fact you guys that's the actual ranch where Manson and his followers lived
The ranch that they filmed this at, was in Corriganville, just up the road from the original spahn ranch. Spahn ranch burnt to the ground in a wildfire in 1970. The only thing that remains is a wide spot off the road.
Love this movie! And I love your reactions! Keep up the great work! And thanks!
Rumour Willis plays Sharon Tates sister. She was also on Dancing With the Stars
that bruce lee scene was based on a real thing, apparently Bruce got into a fight with a stuntman on the set of the Green Hornet and the stuntman did hold his own
Margot Robbie’s foot-shot also doubles as a historical reference! Sharon Tate really disliked wearing shoes or socks and usually had to be persuaded to wear them when doing out! This is why here feat are so dirty, because she rarely wore anything on her feet!
And away we go..lol. great reaction!❤
That from Jackie Gleason
@@nitaweitzel822 The Great One. 👍
Not sure you know this but although Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is his 9th and latest film he is doing 10 films before his retirement. The 10th will be titled "The Movie Critic".
Been waiting for this one especially to see moms reaction. Brad Pitt was exceptionally good in it as was everyone else. One of my top three Tarantino movies along with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
Since I'm 67, I am sure your mom remembers Jose Feliciano's rendition of California Dreamin' , a well played radio hit from back then. ☺
Great reaction :)
This movie is in my top 10. And I like that you learn piece of history along the way as well. In case of Tarantino movies my most favourite trio is 1. Once upon a time in Hollywood 2. Pulp Fiction and 3. Inglorious Basterds. But his other movies, mainly westerns are amazing too of course. Cheers
In 1969 it was the end of old school Hollywood with all the restrictive star contracts and everything being shot at the studio's sound stages/backlots. European cinema was starting to get more successful and TV was taking away cinema audiences.
It wouldn't be a Quentin Tarantino movie without some feet 😂
Love this movie! Though it doesn't feel like there's much of a plot on the first viewing. Tarantino has expressed that this film is something of his magnum opus, the movie he was meant to make through all his years in Hollywood, and watching movies and shows growing up, etc., and that his 10th and final film will be more of an epilogue to his filmography. He is currently at work on it and it is titled The Movie Critic. Set in 1970's California, is is said to draw inspiration from Taxi Driver.
Trima kaseh for you and mom to react this masterpiece!!!
You should also check out Natural Born Killers. It was directed by Oliver Stone, but it was written by Quentin Tarantino, so it's still a Tarantino story.
1:08 nice memory to have.
But Reynolds actually was best friends with his stuntman Hal Needham for years, Hal Needham even lived in his guesthouse for about 12 years. I'm a big fan by the way.
Never understood why clint Eastwood left a successful series in rawhide to do spaghetti western, eventually it all worked out!!!
At the time, Eric Fleming, the show's lead star, left the show, and it was eventually cancelled.
Yes Django unchanged. Awesome
great reaction as usual .. love this movie .. but QT was right about the bruce lee scene .. in a fair competition style combat bruce would win .. but in a street fight cliff would actually kill him
MOM please watch "Valley of the dolls" . Great movie and great role by Sharon Tate, jacqueline susan,
Patty Duke, Susan Hayward, Barbara Parkins. You won't regret it.
SHARON tATE
Love your reactions guys. I'll recommend you to give 3 idiots(comedy/drama), Taare Jameen Par(based on a dyslexic kid) and Dangal(wrestling/sports drama) a try from India. These are story based movies unlike bahubali, KGF and RRR which were more action based. I believe these movies would give you a better perspective of Indian movies. Again it's just my pov, but please give your honest thoughts on the movies.
Hell ride is another good unknown QT film based on motorcycle mc's out in the desert ;)
California Dreamin' by the Mamas and Papas is wonderful. California Dreamin' by Jose Feliciano is epic!
Read about the bruce lee and judo gene lebell match/fight. Gene picked him up and couldve slammed him into goo. but didnt and bruce said put him down or kill him. so judo gene carrie him around the set for a while like a child. I met judo gene before he passed at a grappling tournament in glendale.
It would be great if you reviewed the Tom Cruise film “Magnolia.” It’s heartbreaking but an excellent drama. Lots of stars before they were well known. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is in it. Legendary actor James Robbard (spelling?) before he passed I think. Of course Tom Cruise is excellent. Lots of famous actors who do not disappoint.
Only margot robbie can look that good just being asleep also those hippies never stood a chance against brad pitt
If you watch Akira Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" (隠し砦の三悪人) , it might make you rethink the pastiche idea of George Lucas and Star Wars. At least how varied his influences were... it's a pretty direct connection.
The Bruce Lee part pissed off a lot of people and I understand why... it doesnt paint him a good light... I can accept it for storytelling purposes but one big thing this movie gets wrong about Bruce is that he idolized Cassius clay / mohammad Ali... He used to shadow box to projected film of clays / Ali's fights and that's also how he got his "float like a butterfly" dancing around style in the movies... I highly doubt Bruce said he'd make Clay a cripple because Bruce famously said that Cassius would kill him in a real fight just based on weight differences
I know Scott Michael from dearly departed on RUclips helped with a little bit of this movie
Lucky ticket win. My only win was to see "Dr T & the Women" a week early. 😐
I have a purse exactly like that.
Please watch My Girl with Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd 💜
Saw it years ago. Still haven't shed the emotional trauma! 😨
He was looking for Dennis wilson a Beach boy. He to record music
If you're really offended by the Bruce Lee sequence (or was it because his relatives complained about it, instead of your own opinion?), then you definitely still didn't get the movie. And this actually really happened with a real life legendary stuntman.
Don't forget Four Rooms
In a film where a stunt man and an actor defeat The Mason Gang, taking issue with the portrayal of Bruce Lee seems to me to be a redundant gripe.
Sad he is happy to be praised by a child
This may be a bit of the topic but what are your thoughts on Beetlejuice 2. Personally the cast is very promising and Tim is driving so I'm hoping for the best
It'll be awful, Burton hasn't made a good film in decades.
Please watch from dusk till dawn
The green hornet scene was loosely based on a confrontation Bruce had with a stuntman named Gene Lebell, who was a huge inspiration for the Cliff Booth character. I am a Bruce Lee fan too, but it would be Ludacris to assume he won every fight he was ever in. I'm not sure why people are so upset anyway when it was clearly a draw. No one as Bruce said "beat anyone up"
BuT bRuCe Is A sAiNt!!!11
Cliff Booth and Rick Dalton are based on Hal Needham and Burt Reynolds.
They were both inspired by several people. From Tarantino's lips.
Tarantino has said in interviews that Cliff booth in real life would kill Bruce Lee because Cliff was a killer while Bruce Lee was an actor and not a real martial artist. He would also falsely claim that Bruce Lee used his celebrity to hurt stuntmen during fight scenes so he has a real dislike for Bruce Lee and concluded that if anybody doesn’t like it they can suck his private. He claims people have a liking for Bruce Lee who was an ahole but he knows the truth and that’s why he portrayed Bruce Lee as he truly was. Jackie Chan who was a stuntman on the set of Enter The Dragon was bothered by Tarantinos portrayal and personal comments about Bruce Lee because he said Bruce fought for better wages for all stuntmen whom he would eat with and spend time with during filming. Jackie said Bruce accidentally hit him during a scene and said after the scene was completed Bruce ran to him and apologized and said he was so sorry he didn’t mean to hit him. Jackie said he played the hurt part so Bruce could pay him attention and Bruce even got him a raise in pay. To hear Jackie Chan tell it it was honest but also comical. I had major problems with that scene because it was filmed with malicious intent and disrespectful to a man who was dead and loved by many. And also insensitive to the Lee family who also felt disrespected and to have Tarantino reply if someone doesn’t like it they can suck him.
That's pretty much how I feel about it. I can excuse the scene itself, since Cliff is remembering in his favour, and both times we see Bruce in the latter half of the movie, he's much more encouraging (basically, how he was in real life). My big issue is Tarantino's claims after the movie's release, where he's stuck repeating the same falsehoods about Bruce Lee and his antagonistic remarks to anyone who calls him out on it.
Damien Lewis is a spitting image of Steve McQueen.
You found it offensive how Bruce Lee is portrayed? Listen to Tarantino talk about that. Couple things. He says the only person's opinion of the portrayal that matters is the family. The Bruce Lee was known to not respect stunt men and would sometimes purposely hit them in fights. Neither of us knew him. So to be offended by a portrayal of a stranger is ridiculous.
Dirty feet ahead 🦶🏼
@Knifegurl It’s not a Sharon thing though, it’s a Tarantino thing.
why is your world binary? @@andreshernandez1180
@@andreshernandez1180 it's both lol
Excellent film.......edit Zoe Bell and the completely out of place kid out of it (no 8 year old talked even remotely like that in 1969) and it would be virtually perfect.
It's been speculated that the child actress in this movie, was inspired by a young Jodie Foster, who was always extremely professional and polite on sets as a child actress
