Three things I was pleasantly surprised to see in a Tarantino film: 1. a memorable child performance 2. a memorable animal performance 3. a memorable flamethrower performance
@@NostalgiNorden Seriously though I'd never seen a kid actor that young before and thought "Y'know, that's a real kid." until I saw the performance for B.B in that movie.
One of my favorite scenes was just the two guys sitting around watching FBI and drinking beer and talking over it and laughing. It really felt authentic.
Yeah wow, commentating over a clip drinking beer haha that's what everyone does right? If I say it feels authentic everyone will think I do the same thing, it's so cool yeah wow
That bit at the beginning was the shortest, weakest, most anemic attempt at a traditional Half In The Bag storyline segment I've ever seen. Keep up the good work.
Gone are the days of haphazard shootings, beer bottle-strewn parties, erupting colostomy bags, and gay potion cakes 😞. Plinkett's abode has become just another boring run-of-the-mill centigenarian psycopath's pigsty.
The alternative was to accept a comments section filled with nothing but, "Why are you guys so sweaty in this episode? Is it because you're in the wrong seats?" Luckily they're still getting plenty of the second bit. I'm sure there's a satisfactory explanation forthcoming.
To be fair, movie magic can do amazing things. I would at least _ask_ if they could do something about it. He doesn't complain, he just asks. They say "It's a flamethrower" he says "Okay" and moves on without complaints... IDK, I'd ask as well. Who knows? Maybe some cooling gel on the face? Goggles to help the eyes? Anything to get that most intense shot possible, ya know?
@@got5432 that's like a weird running gag in Leonardo diCaprio's career-he pulled the exact same shit complaining about the cold water in _Titanic_ and Cameron just left it in.
I enjoy all of Tarantino’s movies, but I think this is the first one that ever made me respect him as an individual. It would have been so easy to milk the tragedy and give Manson more scenes, but this almost felt like he was trying to give Tate one more movie to shine in. The Manson Family got famous for what they did to her, but her memory always winds up taking a back seat to the spectacle of Manson. The moment Rick starts speaking to them after the point in time when they would have been murdered...it honestly made me cry and gave me chills, like he was giving them their voice back. It was so sweet to give them that ending.
I've heard True Romance(edit: I mean natural born killers) was supposed to be a satire about the absurdity of fetishizing serial killers, but it failed, this movie pulls it off brilliantly
Funny, they didn't mention the meta ending. Cliff does almost all the fighting and dangerous work, Rick gets a closeup doing something very showy and flashy and gets all the credit...stuntman and star.
"When Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are starring in a movie together, and it is second to a movie with CGI lions that you've seen before, the era of Hollywood A-List stars is done." Depressing, but well said.
It's kinda accurate but also a bit overkill. The Lion King is child-friendly combined with nostalgia factor for adults. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is relevant to film fans and Tarantino fans, much more limited in audience appeal.
I was with a dead ass audience that had no sense of humor. I still laughed out loud as fuck. The dude next to me was awkward as hell, killin my vibes. had a whole fist up his ass. when he brought out the flame thrower i was in tears.
My thought when I heard the one girl suggest they kill the “actors who taught us to be violent through the violence in their movies” was that Tarantino was projecting those criticisms he gets onto that character. Then she gets the most brutal death. I refuse to think that was coincidental.
That was definitely a self aware meta commentary of not only those criticisms but when movies frequently inject some sort of message that is inherently contradictory (eg Canto Bite and capitalism by a Disney product) and Quentin probably thinks it’s nonsense that people try that
@@Dorian-_-Gray Congratulations, you've effortlessly eased yourself all the way to the concept of being a pretentious douchebag to strangers for no reason.
the driving around scenes: that is pretty much the essence of Los Angeles, you are forever driving around somewhere because nothing is near anything else
My interpretation of Leo’s character in the Great Escape was that he got the role and actually started shooting for it, hence those scenes he was in, but they ended up re casting for McQueen and it he never got over it. You can see the resentment on his face when the guy asks him about it. Anyone else get that?
Def. not a screen test. They wouldn't do a screen test in full costume, on location, with the rest of the cast in place. But I could see it being either his vision of what could have been or an actual clip that he shot before being re-cast. Works either way.
Also, by this point the Manson family had already killed Gary Hinman and shot Bernard Crowe. Also, also, the girl who drives away is supposed to be Linda Kasabian, who in real life did refuse to kill anyone, tried to stop the other three during the Tate murder and served as a key witness.
I work in Westwood village literally a block away from the Bruin Theater where Sharron Tate watches her movie. I was there while they were filming and the way they transformed those 2 blocks into 1969 was surreal. Even down to the newspaper stands having old newspapers in them.
Yep, I was an extra on a movie set, driving my own car. The actually changed the registration sticker on my windshield to a New York State registration sticker.
I feel like Sharon not being replaced in Wrecking Crew with Margot Robby was simply because Sharon was an actual real person, rather then Rick Dalton screen testing a scene, who sadly enough, isn't real.
Whatever it was, it broke the suspension of disbelief for me. Robbie is a decent representation of Tate, but when you see them side by side you know it's two different people and that took me out of the movie.
Agreed! She was taken from the world too early as it is. It would have been a huge disservice to erase her further. I felt it was the most touching 4th wall brush (not quite break) to leave those snippets of her performance in tact.
Syklone personally It didn’t take me out of it because I was thinking about the context of the movie the whole time. In that moment it made me think of Sharon the person and I appreciated it for that.
@@visionist7 yeah, I went with people who don't watch films with subtitles on, so I couldn't appreciate the real performances, but the dubbers were really good and maybe I will watch it again once it comes out on bluray in original
@@tlr9403 Well because it's easy to remember legends like Sergio Leone, but like all the italian directors at the time got aboard the Westerns train and most of them were utter trash
In my opinion this movie was a love letter to Sharon Tate. Anytime anyone mentions her name the first and only thing people think of is the way she was murdered. Quentin Tarantino made a movie that portrays her in an angelic light, shows off her work and leaves you with her sweet voice at the end. I think Quentin wanted to change the way people think about and remember Sharon Tate for who she was as a person and actor rather than her involvement in a famous murder. Quentin created a "What if?" ... saying what if this story had a happy ending.
Yeah! This movie is a perfect example of how movies are fiction--fantasies that can comfort and briefly impose a veneer of justice to a brutal and often unjust world.
13:37 to Jay’s point the best nail in the coffin to the Manson Family in the movie was when Cliff completely botches Tex’s “I’m the devil” line when he’s telling it to the cops at the end. “He said ‘I’m the devil and I’m here to do... I don’t know some devil shit’, I don’t know” it’s like their entire legacy is taken away by the ending. Even Rick and Cliff don’t even know why they were there. Their ideology never gets exposure. Brilliant. Edit: 19:43 that is taken loosely from a quote from the trial. Also: the girl who leaves is in fact the Manson girl who turned on the rest and testified against them at the trial, and left halfway through the murders to sit in the car because she was so disturbed by the others’ level of depravity. Tarantino has done his research.
It's also recorded that, on the night of the murders, the killers drove all the way to the gate then reversed the car back and returned on foot. Again, Tarantino depicts that in the movie but with his own twist being that the reason why they reversed was Leo's margarita-fuelled tantrum.
The girl that drove away, I think her name was Linda, was new to the Manson family on the night of the murders and wasn’t completely on board. In reality, she was told to go check the back of 10050 Cielo for open windows. She found some opened, but lied and said there were closed, hoping that they would call off the mission. Unfortunately they found open windows in the front of the house. During the trials, she went against the family as a witness. So I think that Tarantino got her to drive away because he knew that it was something she would do, that she wasn’t pure evil like the rest of them and wouldn’t feel right brutally killing her off.
I feel it should be noted that no one but Linda Kasabian agrees with that version of events. Literally everyone else (and the evidence available) suggests she took a more active role.
They had to turn somebody for immunity and she was the least "mansoned". Also they even absurdly try to pin it all in her, that she was actually the mastermind haha.
Another factoid about the murders: they were planning on writing racially charged messages in the victims' blood implicating the Black Panthers. That's why it was supposed to start a race war. Still completely insane (especially since they thought the small minority of black people in the country were going to win the race war and then the white Manson family was going to come out of their bomb shelter and be immediately accepted as rulers by the black people who had killed all the other whites), but there was some method to the madness. Of course, the whole thing was inspired by a Beatles album and a lot of drugs.
Margot as Sharon didn't need a lot of dialogue. Her sitting in the theater loving the little laughs that her part got out of the people is one of the most genuine things I've seen in a movie and one of the best scenes
It was an adorable scene that did a lot to endear her character to the audience which sets up stakes for the dreaded assumed ending of the movie because we like her innocent character. It didnt need dialogue. From that scene we get that she's shy and a little insecure but really happy that people enjoy her movies. For example the ticket lady not recognizing her or trusting other people would recognize her if she wasnt next to the poster shows that she isnt quite famous and gets a genuine joy in seeing people enjoy her performances and how hard she worked on them from the quick cut to her training with bruce lee. But no, the audience needs to be spoon fed dialogue for a character to be important according to the clickbait lady.
The Tate scenes were lovely, but I felt they made the film grind to a halt. I was trying to enjoy them, but honestly I just wanted to get back to Cliff and Rick.
* 3 people break into your house at night, clearly deranged and holding knifes and guns, talking about murdering you. Mike: "BuT ThEY DidNt dO AnyYThinG"
I agree with you but what Mike meant was we perceive them a certain way because we know what happened in real life and Cliff's response would feel over the top and unfair if it was removed from the Tate murders context (which wouldn't make sense and it doesn't matter).
Gunna Marta if you have 3 people, 2 with knives and 1 with a gun pointed at your face, wouldn’t you assume they were there to, i don’t know, murder you? Since Cliff knew them and knowing what he did at the ranch, I’m sure he assumed they wanted revenge and knowing the type of guy he is, he was reasonable to attack them.
During the climax, Cliff gets stabbed in the hip. In the novel the Rick is reading earlier, the protagonist breaks a hip and can no longer be the best bronco buster. I think this means that Cliff will not be able to do stunt work anymore.
I loved that the Sharon Tate in The Wrecking Crew was not Margo Robbie, because it was telling us that the Sharon Tate in Quentin's movie is in the Kelvin timeline.
@@AshleyTheSwift The random hippie girl took Cliff to the manson ranch. She kept saying "Charley will really like you." She was clearly apart of the manson family.
I love when Pitt is in the car and the girl waves at him the second time she saw him and visually asked for a ride and Pitt motioned he wasn’t going that way. The girl does the fake cry and Pitt just shrugs, like too bad and drives away. Brilliant acting and a brilliant scene with no dialogue.
What does that even mean? And no I’m too lazy to @ someone if that’s what you’re asking. But I’m still not sure if I’m the one who suffered a stroke or you are
One thing I really enjoyed about Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood was ironically, Manson wasn't in much of it. I actually thought that was very clever and wise as well, because rather than show the physical presence Manson had over his 'Family' we saw how deeply his followers believed in Manson and would do anything to protect it. Like when Pussycat yelled to Cliff that he was blind, that really showed how much Manson had manipulated his followers and made it more chilling, in my opinion.
walkin dude Mason came up to the driveway of the Polanski/Tate house, thinking the house belonged to Terry Melcher, a former friend of Manson’s. If I’m correct, that was his only appearance in the film.
deg1studios yeah I remember him arriving in a van, but can’t remember what kind of van it was. I do remember him at the door of the Polanski house because he was blocked by Jay Sebring and only shown when he backed away from the door where Sebring couldn’t block him from Sharon.
I try to buy as many of their shirts as I can, then I figured I'd start doing Patreon too, they provide me with so many hours of entertainment. I look forward to their stuff as much I used to look forward to a Game of Thrones episode. Started off at $2/month, Upped it last month to $5
My friend Mike Gill shot that behind the scenes clip in this episode. He recently passed away and I was prompted to tell everyone how much he loved RLM. He even took me to Boardner’s from LA Wars 💕
I’m very sorry for the loss of your friend, I will say I’m glad he took you to Boardner’s; there’s something so captivating and special about that place. I like to think about all different types of people who walked into that place over the years so much history! I haven’t been in a few years but I can still taste the old fashioned.
They dubbed leo into the great escape because he was lying to Timothy Olyphant about not being close to getting the role when in actuality he had done test screenings for the role
ZuluKasuki I don’t think this movie leaves room for us to interpret what we see as imagined. Joker had a “protagonist” that was quite literally delusional, in the psychological sense. Leo’s might’ve been in the sense of how he viewed his self-worth, but the way it was presented, it seems to be (at least, in my opinion, can’t speak for Tarantino) something that did happen, but he was so bitter/sad about losing that role, he lied about it. Fits the character.
Was literally just about to write this. And the joke is that he delivered the lines so hokey that they replaced him. Not sure why so many people missed this
yeah we have to remember they just saw the movie and saw it once. almost 3 hours long they're going to forget little nuances like that. I'm even amazed they remember as much as they do. I'm sure they write a bunch down but still!
I took the Great Escape flashback as saying Leo's character got the movie and was fired and replaced by McQueen. And that's why he was so keen to get across that he was "never close" to getting it.
That was my interpretation too, that he was embarrassed to have had and lost such a great role. I hadn't even considered that it might have been him imagining if he had gotten the role, and just being bitter that he didn't. Either option seems equally likely to me now.
It is kind of dim of you to call the Manson cult "the hippies" when this video explains exactly why the Manson-family murders are considered, in hindsight, the end of that era. Like... their "bad plan", as Mike puts it, was an extreme right-wing white-power fantasy. Tarantino's politics here are still "shooting Hitler".
I started watching this less than an hour after it was posted, then stopped it after 5 minutes. Went and saw the movie tonight and came home to finish this. I'm so glad I did.
If Cliff Booth didn't actually kill his wife, that could be interpreted as commentary on how easily a rumor can wreck someone's career, especially in Hollywood.
The flashback cut away just at the moment where you're thinking, "He's seriously about to kill this bitch with a harpoon." That got a guilty laugh from me.
At the beginning of the movie, during the opening credits, you can see the names of Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio on the screen but the names are switched so Brad Pitt is on the side of the screen where Dicaprio is and Leonardo Dicaprio is where Brad Pitt is. I wonder if Mike and Jay switched because of that....
Is this comment secretly a "is Jay replacing Mike replacing Jay"? Are good comments replacing youtube comments? Patting my back like a discovery writer.
I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yesterday and this whole thing with Shatners Twitter had him on my mind and I thought about that idea. Tarantino directing a movie about the TOS cast with parts of it being them filming Star Trek episodes like Rick Dalton filming his western pilot would be awesome. Probably too much of a retread though.
"giving no shits" He's working with A-Listers and a high budget. He hid Weinstein's proprieties for years and was likely in on it himself. If anything it's "manufactured rebellion".
I think they meant he's the last guy that can draw a general audience with his name only. I would even argue that Jordan Peele has reached that status.
Went and saw this movie with my pops(we haven't missed a QT flick in theaters since Kill Bill Vol 1.) Once that last act of gratuitous violence hit we couldn't stop laughing and the old couple next to us said, "why would anyone laugh at this?" It just made us laugh even more. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was a wonderful film and I hope to enjoy many more Tarantino moments with my father in the future!
Dont listen to those stuck ups . I laughed like a mad man in that scene . These people are really not made for tarantino's style of movies . This is catharsis violence and it was great !
I've gone to all Tarantino's since inglorious bastards, and have always had at least one laugh at the extreme violence. But in this one, I was really crying laughing
The most satisfying ending in a movie I have ever watched. Since I had a knot in my stomach waiting for them to go and murder Sharon Tate. It released so much tension.. Was not expecting this to go this way at all!
26:30 He never sold out. I don’t know why but that part hit me like a truck. Leonardo DiCaprio feels like one of the last true mainstream actors who stars in roles that challenge himself and challenge audiences. I guess it just feels like that there’s still people out there trying to do something real and not glossy or clean, and they’ve been right under our noses the whole time.
I think it's hilarious that they randomly put actors on their shit list. I mean, you can find something to critique about anyone really, but a few actors just really bug them for some reason. I like Leo, but their hate for him entertains me.
I don't know if I'd necessarily call that "selling out" per say. James Cameron was a very lucrative filmmaker and he did end up making the highest grossing film ever made up to that point, but Cameron's not like the Russo brothers in that he worked on like one studio movie before his big break with zero passion. Keep in mind, the man made Terminator and Aliens up until then
When we see Margo Robie's Tate alive at the end, it literally made me cry after a short time of thinking that in some parallel universe, this really did happen. It's a better timeline for sure.
Actually when the girl drives away is not changing history. That did also happened. that's meant to be Linda Kasabian who abandoned them the night of the Tate murders. She ended up key witness for the prosecution.
Scott Pasta She didn’t literally abandon them like in the movie, they took her out of the scene because otherwise she would have been slaughtered by Cliff.
@@valgehiir lol your nuts leo is a great actor and he was the better actor in this movie than Brad but Cliff was my favorite character in this movie. Every scene he was in I found myself enjoying more. Im gonna go see it again to have a better opinion on it. Something I really gotta see twice
How did this movie at all seem like it "wanted to be about Margot Robbie," she was hardly in it and I never got the feeling Tarantino wanted more scenes with her in it but didnt shoot them for some reason lmao. It was 100% a Rick and Cliff show
@@valgehiir Lmao Leo was the best part of The Departed. A classic movie that won Best Picture. Leo has easily been one of the best most consistent actors of this generation. You are basically fart trolling your minority opinion around
Frank Merker they had planned the murder of several innocent young actors, and hell, they were on their way to do it; they just decided to go for a different house in this version of history. Slaughter them!
They had already killed and committed crimes before the Tate-Labianca murders. And the whole race war thing is a lie that started with Bugliosi's Helter Skelter.
Quentin Tarantino blames the Manson hippies for ending the Golden Age of Hollywood and murdering Sharon Tate both of which he obviously loves. In this film he rewrites history and exacts his revenge. He hates hippies for killing what he loved.
The Manson family were a violent neonazi gang. They weren't peace/love antiwar youths, they were armed white supremacists who had dune buggies with machineguns mounted on them. Hippies didn't ruin Hollywood, I dont know where anybody got that idea.
@@asisin2Manson family weren't hippies, and they weren't any more fanatical than the supporters of the Vietnam war, or the GI and marines who committed worse crimes against civilians on a daily basis.
Stopped this review before the spoilers and finally saw it ... three weeks later in a packed theater. It is such a well-crafted thing that perfectly encapsulates a certain era and time that I never even lived through. My girlfriend hated every minute of it and I had a smile on my face the entire time. It's so much fun, Jan!
The "he killed his wife" is actually pretty deliberate in showing you what happened. It does leave it ambiguous as to whether or not it was an accident, an impulsive reaction, or pre-meditated, but when his wife gets up and starts berating him, we see a shot from below her waist where Cliff is looking up at her despondently, and he has the harpoon gun across his lap, hand on the trigger, and the harpoon aimed, by chance, in her direction. It creates a lot of tension if you actually notice it. It took me a second, but then I was like "Holy fuck we're about to watch him shoot her with a fucking harpoon!" and then it cuts away so we don't know *exactly* how it happened or how he responded. I loved that.
Reminded me a bit of the scene where William H Macy takes the gun out of the car in Boogie Nights and you suddenly realise it's a tragedy not a comedy.
Noah Heninger He probably killed her, she reminds me of my ex and i totally wanted to dump her in the ocean the second time she slashed my tires and berated me
@@noahheninger I think he killed her, but I don't think it was a premeditated, calculated thing. I think his hand was already on the trigger, she was going off on him, and he was just so sick of it he had a split-second impulse and contracted his finger. He doesn't seem like the guy who would legitimately want to murder someone unless they were a threat to him, and I'm sure he was as shocked and horrified as could be after he shot her.
What is it with these beautiful hollywood actresses staying with these sicko/homicidal men...women need to grow a pair and leave these toxic relationships, or better yet listen to their instincts and NEVER GET INVOLVED.
Dear Mr. Evans, I like your work a lot. Also, Mike's camera is knocked out of position for most of the video, but I didn't mind. Keep doing what you do. Yours truly, a non-angry viewer.
yes, taking the power away from manson and his followers was the best thing about it. I don't know why people hate that they made them buffoons. it was the best part
@@ToddTheTolerable Treating your enemies like morons eventually leads to them defeating you because you underestimate them. The Romans made a habit of venerating their enemies. Otherwise who's the bigger idiot, the idiot or the idiot who gets defeated by the idiots?
The scene where Leo is giving himself a right bollocking in his trailer for messing up his lines, drinking too much and telling himself to get his shit together is hilarious and too close to home
You make a point out of the 4th gang member - the girl - drive away. "That didn't happen" In reality Linda Kasabian was present but told to be on watch. She did not participate in the murders. She had a child at the ranch and managed to escape a little while later, turning herself and the Manson family in. She then provided testimony that helped convict the gang. In real life she was a conflicted person who eventually did the right thing. If you are going to rewrite history and have poetic justice (ie Tarantino kill the murderers), then you can't kill Linda Kasabian. Hence she drives away.
Leo being in the Great Escape footage is totally different than using real Sharon Tate footage because there is no real Rick Dalton. The point of the scene was him playing it off like it was never close to actually happening, while he was actually already in wardrobe and filming. Like you said, BITTER. Eric-Stoltz-Back-To-The-Future bitter.
Eric Stoltz! He would have been a good fit for the Rick Dalton role! And thats how I took that scene as well, he was replaced and was too embarrassed/ashamed to admit it.
The interjecting of "The Great Escape" was just to show how much Rick is lying about how much involvement he had. He clearly had shot whole scenes, the most iconic scene, and was pulled from production. The joke goes on a little long but I totally got why and found it pretty entertaining in its own right.
I read it differently. He was denying he had a shot, and never would have got it....but in his heart of hearts he was sure he WOULD HAVE gotten it, and this is how'd he play that scene, that he's gone over 10000 times in his head while in the shower or on the john.
I couldn't tell if the implication was that he lost the role after he had started or that he resented never getting it. It seems intentionally ambiguous.
@@BuckTheSystem I'm willing to accept that the intent was meant to be ambiguous. Tarantino is a film aficionado, though. McQueen demanded punch ups on all his scenes or he wouldn't do it(hence the line about McQueen waffling, and so other people considered) That scene was one of them. I am just some guy, so there may be even other interpretations to come
@@guyjperson Very interesting take! I'm sure QT would say any of these interpretations are correct; it just seemed to me that he was denying things so emphatically and yet we are seeing a whole shot scene (reminding me of when Fox replaced Stoltz in BTTF). But then we always hear people deny rumors of them being considered for a role, and who knows, maybe in their minds they're playing the movie in their head with the scenes that they would be doing better.
You guys changed me with this episode. Not gonna bother with film festivals and screenplay contests anymore. I'm just gonna go make my movie, for better or for worse. Thanks.
Charge on, brother. Indie film/film festivals are a a joke these days-- they pump out the wackest shit. I feel like ever since Little Miss Sunshine came out that has been the template for shitty indie comedies. It's like the Iron Man of indie films. Sad that young filmmakers are so willing to sell out (or maybe they are just that lame/bad at making movies) before they even get a paycheck. Trying to replicate shitty Hollywood movies on a shoe string budget is peak autism.
"After every cut I have the entire cast and crew respond to me when I say 'why do we do it', 'because you love feet' in total unison. Now that's teamwork" -Quentin "if her toe is bigger than my middle finger the shot will linger" Tarantino circa 2002
I saw this movie 4 times in theaters and each and every time, we were all in hysterics during the final scene, one guy literally fell out of his seat because he was laughing so hard, everyone was clapping and gasping and cheering, there were loud "Ow's!"after each hit. Even louder than Endgame. Easily the most fun at a movie theater I've ever had. I can't wait until it's out on Blu-ray.
I loved the ending. Watched it last night for the first time. I thought it was engaging but I was detached a bit cause I wasn't looking forward to what I thought the ending was gonna be. It was brilliant how he completely subverted my expectation. I need to watch it again now so I can be more engaged. That ending was one of Tarantino's best.
I feel the same way. Once it ended i wasn't sure what to think. But after a day of processing the movie as a whole i think it's one of Tarentino's best.
That's what makes the movie so cathartic. The tension in the film builds, and builds to what you expect is going to be utter tragedy (punctuated even more by Kurt Russell's narration, which feels like it's snapping you back to reality) and then Cliff's "very good girl"goes Cujo on their asses and you go "Oh!? Holy shit! Oh!!" I also remember reflecting during the credits when "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" flashes on the screen, that it actually is still a tragedy and you're reminded of what we all lost because of those psychopaths.
"It's about family and that's what's so powerful about it."

The alternative was to accept a comments section filled with nothing but, "Why are you guys so sweaty in this episode? Is it because you're in the wrong seats?"
Luckily they're still getting plenty of the second bit. I'm sure there's a satisfactory explanation forthcoming.

@@DistractedGlobeGuy wow, thanks for that 1
I enjoy all of Tarantino’s movies, but I think this is the first one that ever made me respect him as an individual. It would have been so easy to milk the tragedy and give Manson more scenes, but this almost felt like he was trying to give Tate one more movie to shine in. The Manson Family got famous for what they did to her, but her memory always winds up taking a back seat to the spectacle of Manson. The moment Rick starts speaking to them after the point in time when they would have been murdered...it honestly made me cry and gave me chills, like he was giving them their voice back. It was so sweet to give them that ending.
Great observation..great!
I've heard True Romance(edit: I mean natural born killers) was supposed to be a satire about the absurdity of fetishizing serial killers, but it failed, this movie pulls it off brilliantly
I agree, the last scene in the movie, walking into the Polanski house was very emotional
@@davidhooper1610 Do you mean Natural Born Killers?
@@timothyhurley5920 yes I do
Funny, they didn't mention the meta ending. Cliff does almost all the fighting and dangerous work, Rick gets a closeup doing something very showy and flashy and gets all the credit...stuntman and star.
I don't know if that's "meta" exactly, but that's a good observation.
Not meta, it’s repetition and theme.
Thanks guys. I knew "meta" didn't fit perfectly, but I struggled to think of a better word.

How is it funny or surprising that they didn’t mention that? I highly doubt many people noticed that on their own

My thought when I heard the one girl suggest they kill the “actors who taught us to be violent through the violence in their movies” was that Tarantino was projecting those criticisms he gets onto that character. Then she gets the most brutal death. I refuse to think that was coincidental.
That was definitely a self aware meta commentary of not only those criticisms but when movies frequently inject some sort of message that is inherently contradictory (eg Canto Bite and capitalism by a Disney product) and Quentin probably thinks it’s nonsense that people try that
He researched them in such meticulous detail he actually realised it was Manson not Madsen.

My interpretation of Leo’s character in the Great Escape was that he got the role and actually started shooting for it, hence those scenes he was in, but they ended up re casting for McQueen and it he never got over it. You can see the resentment on his face when the guy asks him about it. Anyone else get that?
That's how I took it. The other options are it was a screen test, or he was just imagining himself in the role. All are equally valid.
@@stephenh5944 I like both options.
@@stephenh5944 indeed!
Def. not a screen test. They wouldn't do a screen test in full costume, on location, with the rest of the cast in place. But I could see it being either his vision of what could have been or an actual clip that he shot before being re-cast. Works either way.

"Smashing a woman's face who did nothing"
She literally stabbed him with a knife that stuck right in him Mike, how drunk were you when you saw this??
Also if someone breaks into your home and holds a knife up to you, they deserve anything that happens to them.
That scene was cathartic, especially knowing what they did in real life to Sharon Tate and everybody else in her house.
3 armed people break into your home and tell you they’re “the devil” My advice would be grab your flamethrower
Also, by this point the Manson family had already killed Gary Hinman and shot Bernard Crowe. Also, also, the girl who drives away is supposed to be Linda Kasabian, who in real life did refuse to kill anyone, tried to stop the other three during the Tate murder and served as a key witness.
To be fair that scene didn’t have the best lighting
I work in Westwood village literally a block away from the Bruin Theater where Sharron Tate watches her movie. I was there while they were filming and the way they transformed those 2 blocks into 1969 was surreal. Even down to the newspaper stands having old newspapers in them.
Yep, I was an extra on a movie set, driving my own car. The actually changed the registration sticker on my windshield to a New York State registration sticker.
Exactly the same experience down in Toluca Lake. On Forman Avenue, they transformed the blocks beautifully
“Because it’s fun Jan!”
That was a GOAT moment.

I feel like I've hated Jan my whole life now lol. Never tire of that clip

I feel like Sharon not being replaced in Wrecking Crew with Margot Robby was simply because Sharon was an actual real person, rather then Rick Dalton screen testing a scene, who sadly enough, isn't real.
what do you mean, Fourteen Fists was my favorite movie growing up
Whatever it was, it broke the suspension of disbelief for me. Robbie is a decent representation of Tate, but when you see them side by side you know it's two different people and that took me out of the movie.
Agreed! She was taken from the world too early as it is. It would have been a huge disservice to erase her further. I felt it was the most touching 4th wall brush (not quite break) to leave those snippets of her performance in tact.
Syklone personally It didn’t take me out of it because I was thinking about the context of the movie the whole time. In that moment it made me think of Sharon the person and I appreciated it for that.

@@tlr9403 Well because it's easy to remember legends like Sergio Leone, but like all the italian directors at the time got aboard the Westerns train and most of them were utter trash
In my opinion this movie was a love letter to Sharon Tate. Anytime anyone mentions her name the first and only thing people think of is the way she was murdered. Quentin Tarantino made a movie that portrays her in an angelic light, shows off her work and leaves you with her sweet voice at the end. I think Quentin wanted to change the way people think about and remember Sharon Tate for who she was as a person and actor rather than her involvement in a famous murder. Quentin created a "What if?" ... saying what if this story had a happy ending.
This is what I got from it as well. I adored this movie for giving her the happy ending she unfortunately didn't get in real life.
It's Tarantino's penthouse letter to Sharon Tate. Probably jerked off a few times watching her scenes.
Yeah! This movie is a perfect example of how movies are fiction--fantasies that can comfort and briefly impose a veneer of justice to a brutal and often unjust world.
Jesus Christ, if I see one more person refer to this movie as a "love letter" to so and so I think I might go insane. Try being original for once.

@Spit Dragon gotemmmm
Manson rejected his love letters.
Who likes them?
13:37 to Jay’s point the best nail in the coffin to the Manson Family in the movie was when Cliff completely botches Tex’s “I’m the devil” line when he’s telling it to the cops at the end. “He said ‘I’m the devil and I’m here to do... I don’t know some devil shit’, I don’t know” it’s like their entire legacy is taken away by the ending. Even Rick and Cliff don’t even know why they were there. Their ideology never gets exposure. Brilliant.
Edit:
19:43 that is taken loosely from a quote from the trial. Also: the girl who leaves is in fact the Manson girl who turned on the rest and testified against them at the trial, and left halfway through the murders to sit in the car because she was so disturbed by the others’ level of depravity. Tarantino has done his research.
Also he says his name is "rex, no, something gayer than that."
Linda Kasabian
@@frankmacdemarco something *dumber
@@luiginastro8831 *gayest
It's also recorded that, on the night of the murders, the killers drove all the way to the gate then reversed the car back and returned on foot. Again, Tarantino depicts that in the movie but with his own twist being that the reason why they reversed was Leo's margarita-fuelled tantrum.
The girl that drove away, I think her name was Linda, was new to the Manson family on the night of the murders and wasn’t completely on board. In reality, she was told to go check the back of 10050 Cielo for open windows. She found some opened, but lied and said there were closed, hoping that they would call off the mission. Unfortunately they found open windows in the front of the house. During the trials, she went against the family as a witness. So I think that Tarantino got her to drive away because he knew that it was something she would do, that she wasn’t pure evil like the rest of them and wouldn’t feel right brutally killing her off.
Yes, I wish Tarantino made a Manson Family movie more than a Rick & Cliff movie
I feel it should be noted that no one but Linda Kasabian agrees with that version of events. Literally everyone else (and the evidence available) suggests she took a more active role.
They had to turn somebody for immunity and she was the least "mansoned". Also they even absurdly try to pin it all in her, that she was actually the mastermind haha.
Another factoid about the murders: they were planning on writing racially charged messages in the victims' blood implicating the Black Panthers. That's why it was supposed to start a race war. Still completely insane (especially since they thought the small minority of black people in the country were going to win the race war and then the white Manson family was going to come out of their bomb shelter and be immediately accepted as rulers by the black people who had killed all the other whites), but there was some method to the madness. Of course, the whole thing was inspired by a Beatles album and a lot of drugs.
Terry Beardmore TBF, these are the same guys who just got done murdering people, so maybe we shouldn’t treat their word as bond.
Margot as Sharon didn't need a lot of dialogue. Her sitting in the theater loving the little laughs that her part got out of the people is one of the most genuine things I've seen in a movie and one of the best scenes
Scott Pasta no you just liked the feet didn’t you?
Yea that scene was really cute
It was an adorable scene that did a lot to endear her character to the audience which sets up stakes for the dreaded assumed ending of the movie because we like her innocent character. It didnt need dialogue. From that scene we get that she's shy and a little insecure but really happy that people enjoy her movies. For example the ticket lady not recognizing her or trusting other people would recognize her if she wasnt next to the poster shows that she isnt quite famous and gets a genuine joy in seeing people enjoy her performances and how hard she worked on them from the quick cut to her training with bruce lee.
But no, the audience needs to be spoon fed dialogue for a character to be important according to the clickbait lady.
Also she had plenty of lines, and a whole lot of screen time, genuinely respectful screen time at that.
The Tate scenes were lovely, but I felt they made the film grind to a halt. I was trying to enjoy them, but honestly I just wanted to get back to Cliff and Rick.

Mike: "BuT ThEY DidNt dO AnyYThinG"
Pitiful H Also, the ginger had actually stabbed Cliff with her knife prior to his bashing her face in.
Mike Stoklasa, contrarian to the end. Gotta give him credit for that.
I agree with you but what Mike meant was we perceive them a certain way because we know what happened in real life and Cliff's response would feel over the top and unfair if it was removed from the Tate murders context (which wouldn't make sense and it doesn't matter).
Hmm......Aaron Eckhart? Ben Affleck? Don Cheadle?
Gunna Marta if you have 3 people, 2 with knives and 1 with a gun pointed at your face, wouldn’t you assume they were there to, i don’t know, murder you?
Since Cliff knew them and knowing what he did at the ranch, I’m sure he assumed they wanted revenge and knowing the type of guy he is, he was reasonable to attack them.
During the climax, Cliff gets stabbed in the hip. In the novel the Rick is reading earlier, the protagonist breaks a hip and can no longer be the best bronco buster. I think this means that Cliff will not be able to do stunt work anymore.

One of my favourite scenes in the movie.
One thing I really enjoyed about Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood was ironically, Manson wasn't in much of it. I actually thought that was very clever and wise as well, because rather than show the physical presence Manson had over his 'Family' we saw how deeply his followers believed in Manson and would do anything to protect it. Like when Pussycat yelled to Cliff that he was blind, that really showed how much Manson had manipulated his followers and made it more chilling, in my opinion.
Was Manson in it at all? When did they show him?
walkin dude Mason came up to the driveway of the Polanski/Tate house, thinking the house belonged to Terry Melcher, a former friend of Manson’s.
If I’m correct, that was his only appearance in the film.

ZuluKasuki I don’t think this movie leaves room for us to interpret what we see as imagined. Joker had a “protagonist” that was quite literally delusional, in the psychological sense. Leo’s might’ve been in the sense of how he viewed his self-worth, but the way it was presented, it seems to be (at least, in my opinion, can’t speak for Tarantino) something that did happen, but he was so bitter/sad about losing that role, he lied about it. Fits the character.

I took the Great Escape flashback as saying Leo's character got the movie and was fired and replaced by McQueen. And that's why he was so keen to get across that he was "never close" to getting it.
That was my interpretation too, that he was embarrassed to have had and lost such a great role. I hadn't even considered that it might have been him imagining if he had gotten the role, and just being bitter that he didn't. Either option seems equally likely to me now.
Aka "Pulling a Stoltz"
That's an interesting take. I never considered that it might NOT be imagined. Always cool to hear a different interpretation of something.
The actual film was in color, Leo's flashback was b&w - like the actual "dailes" would be, or a try-out would be filmed

It is kind of dim of you to call the Manson cult "the hippies" when this video explains exactly why the Manson-family murders are considered, in hindsight, the end of that era.

The most satisfying ending in a movie I have ever watched. Since I had a knot in my stomach waiting for them to go and murder Sharon Tate. It released so much tension.. Was not expecting this to go this way at all!
@@Atlas65 Yes for me it was the best ending I've seen in decades...maybe ever.
I highly disagree.
@@liampatrick3110 Yes, they did.
@@liampatrick3110 Good for you.
"N-word: the movie"
Brilliant, that made me laugh
😂😂
26:30 He never sold out.
I don’t know why but that part hit me like a truck. Leonardo DiCaprio feels like one of the last true mainstream actors who stars in roles that challenge himself and challenge audiences. I guess it just feels like that there’s still people out there trying to do something real and not glossy or clean, and they’ve been right under our noses the whole time.
Mr. Tables
Honestly don’t know why they have such a problem with Leo. He’s had more hits than misses imo.
David Rich I completely agree, he devotes all he can into every role
I think it's hilarious that they randomly put actors on their shit list. I mean, you can find something to critique about anyone really, but a few actors just really bug them for some reason. I like Leo, but their hate for him entertains me.
I count Titanic as 'selling out'.
Fortunately he just did that one sellout, his movies since then have been fine.
I don't know if I'd necessarily call that "selling out" per say. James Cameron was a very lucrative filmmaker and he did end up making the highest grossing film ever made up to that point, but Cameron's not like the Russo brothers in that he worked on like one studio movie before his big break with zero passion. Keep in mind, the man made Terminator and Aliens up until then
Honestly Brad Pitt Racing his car through late evening LA was more thrilling than most 30 Minute action beats this year.
The Brad Pitt drive home, eating freeze dried pasta and chilling with his dog was one of my top three moments from this film.
"Don't cry in front of the Mexicans" 😂
Great line. Makes me laugh every time.
"What was real and what wasn't there you couldn't really tell" THAT is what special effects should be in a nutshell.
Well.................................................
In this kind of movie, sure.
When we see Margo Robie's Tate alive at the end, it literally made me cry after a short time of thinking that in some parallel universe, this really did happen. It's a better timeline for sure.
I for one share Rich Evans’ appreciation for Mike’s right shoulder.
Love the friendship between Leo and Brad in this movie
Actually when the girl drives away is not changing history. That did also happened. that's meant to be Linda Kasabian who abandoned them the night of the Tate murders. She ended up key witness for the prosecution.
She didn't abandon them, she sat outside in the car for most of the attack.
@@rattleshnake7179 and then ratted on them. She abandoned them
Scott Pasta She didn’t literally abandon them like in the movie, they took her out of the scene because otherwise she would have been slaughtered by Cliff.
So with how it ended up, you could say... Linda's In Custody?
Oh dear god. What on Earth damage I could have done with that minor mistake of misinformation. The lies I've spread.
Mike: HALF IN THE BAG!
Quentin: And I'm shutting your butt down!
It was a Brad Pitt movie that wanted to be about Margot Robbie, but couldn't get away from Leonardo.
valgehiir wtf is Departure? Do you mean The Departed??
@@valgehiir lol your nuts leo is a great actor and he was the better actor in this movie than Brad but Cliff was my favorite character in this movie. Every scene he was in I found myself enjoying more. Im gonna go see it again to have a better opinion on it. Something I really gotta see twice
How did this movie at all seem like it "wanted to be about Margot Robbie," she was hardly in it and I never got the feeling Tarantino wanted more scenes with her in it but didnt shoot them for some reason lmao. It was 100% a Rick and Cliff show
The curse of Leonardo Retardo strikes again
@@valgehiir Lmao Leo was the best part of The Departed. A classic movie that won Best Picture. Leo has easily been one of the best most consistent actors of this generation. You are basically fart trolling your minority opinion around
“In the logic of the movie, the Manson family didn’t do anything yet.” - Mike
Sorry, but I reject your hypothesis

In the context of the movie all they were doing was living off that guys land at worst
Frank Merker they had planned the murder of several innocent young actors, and hell, they were on their way to do it; they just decided to go for a different house in this version of history. Slaughter them!
They had already killed and committed crimes before the Tate-Labianca murders. And the whole race war thing is a lie that started with Bugliosi's Helter Skelter.
Actors aren't real people anyways
Quentin Tarantino blames the Manson hippies for ending the Golden Age of Hollywood and murdering Sharon Tate both of which he obviously loves. In this film he rewrites history and exacts his revenge. He hates hippies for killing what he loved.
Not hippies, fanatics
@@guist_ same difference
The Manson family were a violent neonazi gang. They weren't peace/love antiwar youths, they were armed white supremacists who had dune buggies with machineguns mounted on them.
Hippies didn't ruin Hollywood, I dont know where anybody got that idea.
@@asisin2Manson family weren't hippies, and they weren't any more fanatical than the supporters of the Vietnam war, or the GI and marines who committed worse crimes against civilians on a daily basis.

Would suck if they had to pay that nonve royalties.
The "he killed his wife" is actually pretty deliberate in showing you what happened. It does leave it ambiguous as to whether or not it was an accident, an impulsive reaction, or pre-meditated, but when his wife gets up and starts berating him, we see a shot from below her waist where Cliff is looking up at her despondently, and he has the harpoon gun across his lap, hand on the trigger, and the harpoon aimed, by chance, in her direction.
It creates a lot of tension if you actually notice it. It took me a second, but then I was like "Holy fuck we're about to watch him shoot her with a fucking harpoon!" and then it cuts away so we don't know *exactly* how it happened or how he responded. I loved that.
Reminded me a bit of the scene where William H Macy takes the gun out of the car in Boogie Nights and you suddenly realise it's a tragedy not a comedy.
Noah Heninger He probably killed her, she reminds me of my ex and i totally wanted to dump her in the ocean the second time she slashed my tires and berated me
@@noahheninger I think he killed her, but I don't think it was a premeditated, calculated thing. I think his hand was already on the trigger, she was going off on him, and he was just so sick of it he had a split-second impulse and contracted his finger. He doesn't seem like the guy who would legitimately want to murder someone unless they were a threat to him, and I'm sure he was as shocked and horrified as could be after he shot her.
What is it with these beautiful hollywood actresses staying with these sicko/homicidal men...women need to grow a pair and leave these toxic relationships, or better yet listen to their instincts and NEVER GET INVOLVED.
@@emhu2594 It's almost like people who emote and look pretty for a living are better at their jobs if they are psychologically damaged or something /s
I love how they've seemingly given up on storylines on this show.
just like hollywood
I usually hit the skip button on those. I wonder how many others do that too.

Dear Mr. Evans,
I like your work a lot.
Also, Mike's camera is knocked out of position for most of the video, but I didn't mind. Keep doing what you do.
Yours truly,

Rich Evans: "I reject your hypothesis"
I love Mike's 'yelling David Lynch'-character.
He nails it.
yes, taking the power away from manson and his followers was the best thing about it. I don't know why people hate that they made them buffoons. it was the best part
I'm already looking forward to this. Everyone in the Manson family were fucking morons

When Jay said “it feels like our show has been the documentation of the death of movies.”
I felt that.
You make a point out of the 4th gang member - the girl - drive away. "That didn't happen"
In reality Linda Kasabian was present but told to be on watch. She did not participate in the murders. She had a child at the ranch and managed to escape a little while later, turning herself and the Manson family in. She then provided testimony that helped convict the gang.
In real life she was a conflicted person who eventually did the right thing. If you are going to rewrite history and have poetic justice (ie Tarantino kill the murderers), then you can't kill Linda Kasabian. Hence she drives away.
Nice
Leo being in the Great Escape footage is totally different than using real Sharon Tate footage because there is no real Rick Dalton.
The point of the scene was him playing it off like it was never close to actually happening, while he was actually already in wardrobe and filming.
Like you said, BITTER. Eric-Stoltz-Back-To-The-Future bitter.
Eric Stoltz! He would have been a good fit for the Rick Dalton role! And thats how I took that scene as well, he was replaced and was too embarrassed/ashamed to admit it.
The interjecting of "The Great Escape" was just to show how much Rick is lying about how much involvement he had. He clearly had shot whole scenes, the most iconic scene, and was pulled from production. The joke goes on a little long but I totally got why and found it pretty entertaining in its own right.
I read it differently. He was denying he had a shot, and never would have got it....but in his heart of hearts he was sure he WOULD HAVE gotten it, and this is how'd he play that scene, that he's gone over 10000 times in his head while in the shower or on the john.
I couldn't tell if the implication was that he lost the role after he had started or that he resented never getting it. It seems intentionally ambiguous.
@@BuckTheSystem I'm willing to accept that the intent was meant to be ambiguous. Tarantino is a film aficionado, though. McQueen demanded punch ups on all his scenes or he wouldn't do it(hence the line about McQueen waffling, and so other people considered) That scene was one of them. I am just some guy, so there may be even other interpretations to come
@@guyjperson Very interesting take! I'm sure QT would say any of these interpretations are correct; it just seemed to me that he was denying things so emphatically and yet we are seeing a whole shot scene (reminding me of when Fox replaced Stoltz in BTTF). But then we always hear people deny rumors of them being considered for a role, and who knows, maybe in their minds they're playing the movie in their head with the scenes that they would be doing better.
You guys changed me with this episode. Not gonna bother with film festivals and screenplay contests anymore. I'm just gonna go make my movie, for better or for worse.
Thanks.
Charge on, brother. Indie film/film festivals are a a joke these days-- they pump out the wackest shit. I feel like ever since Little Miss Sunshine came out that has been the template for shitty indie comedies. It's like the Iron Man of indie films. Sad that young filmmakers are so willing to sell out (or maybe they are just that lame/bad at making movies) before they even get a paycheck. Trying to replicate shitty Hollywood movies on a shoe string budget is peak autism.
Hey T D, if you’re reading this, please fuck off.

As someone from LA when I watched this in theaters it was honestly breathtaking
This was actually up there with Inglorious Basterds and Pulp Fiction as my favorite Tarantino film. Loved it.
Goodshag Productions those are my top 3 too!
The more I think about it the more I fucking love it
Kill Bill (second half, specifically), Jackie Brown, and Once upon a Time here. Once upon a Time being the best, imo.

I saw this movie 4 times in theaters and each and every time, we were all in hysterics during the final scene, one guy literally fell out of his seat because he was laughing so hard, everyone was clapping and gasping and cheering, there were loud "Ow's!"after each hit. Even louder than Endgame. Easily the most fun at a movie theater I've ever had. I can't wait until it's out on Blu-ray.
two sweaty old men talking about feet 10/10 would watch again
This episode was also bittersweet. My favorite in a long time. Loved this film, love this show. Thank you guys.
also love that scene in the bookstore bc she's picking up a copy of thomas hardy's tess for polanski which he adapted 10 years later.
That pretty cool. Didn't catch that the first 3 times I saw it

I loved the ending. Watched it last night for the first time. I thought it was engaging but I was detached a bit cause I wasn't looking forward to what I thought the ending was gonna be. It was brilliant how he completely subverted my expectation. I need to watch it again now so I can be more engaged. That ending was one of Tarantino's best.
I feel the same way. Once it ended i wasn't sure what to think. But after a day of processing the movie as a whole i think it's one of Tarentino's best.
That's what makes the movie so cathartic. The tension in the film builds, and builds to what you expect is going to be utter tragedy (punctuated even more by Kurt Russell's narration, which feels like it's snapping you back to reality) and then Cliff's "very good girl"goes Cujo on their asses and you go "Oh!? Holy shit! Oh!!"
I also remember reflecting during the credits when "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" flashes on the screen, that it actually is still a tragedy and you're reminded of what we all lost because of those psychopaths.
