In the late 90s that would have been a horrible desaster. Just look at Brad Pitt paired with Harrison Ford. It really needs either an extraordinary director with absolute control for something like that or maybe the current end of Hollywood as we know it to get to superstars to play together instead of snatching the scenes from each other. And the fact that both actors are past their own golden age might have helped as well.
@@Schmidtelpunkt It was like Paul Newman and Robert Redford in "Butch Cassidy"...another film that shows just "hanging out" with the main characters can work...it didn't really have traditional "plot" either...
My favorite line from the film is when the Manson guy shows up and say, "I'm the devil and I'm here to do the devils work." Then Brad Pitt's character goes, "Nah, it's something dumber than that." I died in my chair.
akshay Viswambharan personally, I think that scene is just brad Pitt’s fantasy. Notice how he kinda looks up and it cuts to him imagining himself beating up Bruce lee and looking cool. Then at the end of the scene he’s back on the rooftop and kinda smiles to himself, thinking about how he pissed off kurt Russell’s character and his wife
It was sweet of Tarantino to use a Dog in at least one of his films. Brandy is so adorable and looks like Hooch from the Tom Hanks classic Turner and Hooch.
@Tomjo5 Yes the sweet thing is immortalizing her life in a universe where she doesn‘t. Her sister was invited to the premier and reportedly broke down and just hugged Tarantino as thanks for immortalizing her sister.
Personally I thought the fakeouts, in particular at the ranch, just served to elevate the last 30 minutes of the film into something truly special. Both knowing Tarantino's filmography and the story of the Manson family there's this tension the entire movie that all the characters are doomed. Yet we see them, in particular Sharon Tate, just going about their day and doing nothing with their lives. All the characters are set up for their own personal tragedy and then it gets subverted in one of the most hilarious 10 minutes I've seen in years.
The Girl who ditched her friends who wanted to Leo remembered he’s friends with Brad Pitt and will probably kill her like he did that guy who flattened his tire, smart kid she avoided being mauled or burned alive
glorifying yes right! Thanks for the correction! But if we only count reviews from Chris for movies that are released in recent years, is Lady Bird the last A+ from Chris? I haven’t watched all of his A+ movies review so i can’t know for sure hahaha
Thaïla Khampo totally!! But that only works if you know beforehand the story of Sharon Tate. The movie never tells us who the mason are and the name of Sharon is said few times.... therefore if you are not from USA, Sharon Tate will not even be a mcguffin... she will only be a character out of place with the narrative and the story with no relevance or impact.
Man, I was confused about the part about George's house in the desert. This movie played a lot with expectations; especially in the last act. In the house-scene, you think you know what has happened to George, due to the other actors performances and the score, but it fools you. I loved that. It made me doubt all of my other expectations throughout the rest of the movie!
If Sharon Tate hadn’t been in it, the climax would lose all meaning and impact. She was pivotal in setting up expectations, then turning it. Leo is also fantastic. He’s incredibly funny.
Chris: "The second act doesn't build enough so it gets kinda slow" Also Chris: "We're trained to think every scene has to happen right fuckin now, every scene has to mean something, but this is a 1960's film" Make up your mind big fella xo
This movie was perfect in a way that I want movies to be perfect. I went home thinking about moments and loving the characters and replaying the awesome moments in my mind. I want to rewatch it already. What’s it about? For me it’s about friendship. I just kept thinking the soul of this story exists in the relationship between these two guys. In the end it’s a beautiful story about two best friends and wow... I sure can relate to that.
I got to share something memorable with my mother this past week. For the first time, my mom watched not only one but two Quentin Tarantino flims with me. My mother being 74 comes from a very reserved and conservative upbringing, so watching these kinds of films was always out of the question but something happened where her and I watched Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained and to my shock she loved both films, never had I thought in a million years that her and I would be able to sit down and watch these pictures together. I will ALWAYS cherish these moments, Thank you Mr. Tarantino.
I loved the acting, the soundtrack, the cinematography, the directing, the humorous moments, and it had an epic climax that I loved! Seeing Leonardo and Brad together made me happy, and it elevates this film. At first, I gave it an 8/10, and I thought it wasn’t fantastic, but after rewatching it I can say OUATIH is one of my favorite films of 2019, and gets a 9/10 for me.
Sharon Tate/Margot Robbie is there to endear the audience! Tarantino makes us love her, and therefore creates a sense of tension because we feel like we are building towards watching her bloody and brutal demise. I personally watched her walk out of her house with a large pregnant stomach towards the end and hung my head in my hands; because I had connected with her kind and free spirited character. The build up to the final scene wouldn't have had any where near as much resonance if not for Sharon/Margot's lovely character!
If you know a little more about Sharon than just the fact that she was murdered by the Mansons, you’d know that she was an actress just barely getting her big start. That whole bit with her at the movie theatre watching her own movie, where it took the employees awhile to recognize her, makes sense when you get that she was up and coming. It’s to show how new and fresh she was to Hollywood and still so excited about starring in movies and seeing herself on the big screen and wanting to be recognized, then Tarantino set that as a direct contrast to two hard boiled past their prime stars, and I understand that while she didn’t have much to do, it gave you some context as to just how much was actually lost when she died. Not only were her and her baby killed, but also her blossoming career so we’ll never know if she could have become another famous icon.
Films like The Nice Guys, Baby Driver, Logan, and Quentin Tarantino movies are a breath of fresh air in a decade riddled with formulaic movies. Always great to see a director put his vision on screen and the Studio letting him work
This movie feels like 5 movies combined into one, Tarantino didn't know if he wanted to make a Sharon Tate biography, a drama about a once-great actor, a buddy comedy...
Just got out of the theatre with my wife. We both loved it. Chris per the usual has a very accurate review and I appreciate that. Worth a watch everyone. Seinfeld I think is my fav show of all time so this movie was breezy and entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Narrative in films is not required unless you're trying to tell a specific story. But if you're not, all you need is a place or a situation and BOOM, you have your setting to write scenes for. Robert Altman's Nashville is about a time and place and the country music scene in the 70's, but what's the film about? A political rally in Nashville and all the press people and various odd characters who happen to live or show up there. That's it. And it's regarded as a masterpiece. Or what about some of Fellini's films? La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2 and City of Women are based on nothing but feminist, absurdist and satirical ideas, but they're absolutely spellbinding as Marcello Mastroianni bumbles his way from surreal scene to outlandish situation. Tarantino may not be able to quite reach those heights himself, but I suppose that's a bit where he's coming from. His new film is more about a time and place, rather than a specific story. So it's a love letter to post-Golden Age Hollywood.
@teppolundgren I'd say the same applies to MASH...I guess a lot of Altman's films, actually. @Writer B.L. Alley Yep, it's something a lot of people don't necessarily realize (outside of writing circles), that a story exists in a world that existed before the story begins and will continue existing long after the final sentence/scene. There is a whole history that has formed the world the characters inhabit and the characters themselves that, even if not explicitly detailed in the story itself, still exists beneath the surface.
I don't think enough people are talking about how expertly Tarantino had his audience exactly where he wanted once shit went down in the final act. **spoilers** He made us dread for DiCaprio as he walked up to the car. He made us dread for Pitt when he picked up the acid cigarette. He racked up the tension further with Pitt surrounded in the living room in that state. When he gave his dog the whistle and started smashing the Masons, it felt so cathartic! He even made us root for the dog by setting him up earlier in the film. DiCaprio capping it off with the flamethrower was the cherry on top.
Woah dude.. I felt a lot of tension going into the movie. Knowing what happens to Sharon Tate in real life I had a feeling that would be how Tarantino ends the movie. So when it seems like there is no tension going on it feels the characters have no idea what's coming.
@@tardescinefilas88 It surprises me how people dont realize this is exactly why Tarantino made the film in the first place. I enjoyed it and glad you felt that way too.
@@bighead6763 Anybody order fried sauerkraut! Charlie's going to dig you. That was the best acting I’ve ever seen in my whole life. Hey, you’re Rick fucking Dalton. Don’t you forget it.
Everybody is complaining about the old blind dude being alive at the ranch. To me that's what made the scene great. How cliché would it have been if he was dead? Super. That's how.
I am not an American & didn't know about the Sharon tate murders and the change in Hollywood during that period. Love for cinema made up for Hollywood perspective in the film. But the murders were yet to come. Just before watching this film, I watched Mindhunters of David Fincher. And man, that was the most satisfying ending ever for me.(Once upon a time...in Hollywood.)
I think part of the reason Margot Robbie doesn’t do much and yet is present throughout the movie is to contrast the bright-eyed optimist at the beginning of her career with the faded star of Rick Dalton, and to keep building up the tension based on what the audience already knows about the Manson murders. Personally, the first of these worked really well, but the second one relies too much on Tarantino assuming the audience already knows what happened to Tate. The better version of this tension-building process is when we see Manson as he visits the Tate house, because it’s the only time we see him despite his weight hanging over the rest of the movie (a bit like the shark in Jaws was my first thought). And the ever-present Manson women all over LA probably achieves that tension-building better than the Tate stuff. Probably the sequence of Tate in the cinema could have been cut, but then again it did allow Tarantino to get some prime feet shots, and we all know how much he enjoys those!
An insightful review but I saw this movie from a different angle. I was 18 in the summer of 69 and the Manson family murders really shocked the country. In the pre-internet era we weren't inundated with 24/7 real crime news stories and there were very few mass murders then. So I felt a low voltage tension right from scene 1 in the theater. Knowing Tarantino's penchant for graphic depiction of violence didn't help. Being immersed in the sights and sounds of the late 60's again was kind of a thrill and Quentin's choice of tunes was fine. So, strapped in for the ride, it was just a question of how much the director was going to manipulate the viewer leading up to the horrific crime. What you saw as a comedy film I saw as a slow, uneasy descent to hell. The whole thing was like being in a roller coaster ride that you were told in advance had mechanical issues. I think Tarantino made the film assuming the audience had some historical grasp of the gravity of the crime on which the movie was premised. That throws a whole different perception of the yellow brick road of songs, quirky characters, and humor he adorns the film with. The brief smile flashed by the Charles Manson character summed up the movie for me.
You should do a spoiler review i feel the way you do about the film and would love to hear more about the build up in act 2 and the release of act 3. To me the tension/anticipation made the movie amazing alone
Yeah but if you're not into her life story, it just comes off like random unnecessary scenes of a character having fun at her house or at the movies with no conflicts, not saying is a bad tribute, just confusing
Have seen it twice now, the first time on a superscreen and today on 35mm, mind blown on the latter. This is definitely the best of Quentin Tarantino's recent output and stands head and shoulders above all out there now. This is a film that can easily be watched multiple times, so layered and so much detail Tarantino is that guy that sat glued to the TV and there are so many references to shows that he devoured, some say that the Rick Dalton character was partly based on Pete Duel from Alias Smith and Jones, who battled with depression, alcoholism and eventually died of a self inflicted gunshot wound to his head. Rick Dalton in a soliloquy threatens to blow his brains out after messing up his lines due to consuming eight whiskey sours the night before. A rumour is that Gene LeBell did in fact manhandle Bruce Lee on the set of The Green Lantern, substitute Cliff Booth for Gene mixed in with a bit of Paul Newman and Hal Needham, who was Burt Reynolds stuntman and you have Brad Pitt's character. Acting in this film is off the charts, forget about Margot Robbie not having many lines what about Roman Polanski one of the most influential Directors ever, I think he had one sentence in the entire movie. Scenes and Dialogue have not been wasted in this film, would be interesting to know if Tarantino will release a Directors Cut with material that has been cut from this particular film. I for one would pay to see it at the Cinema The scene where Brad Pitt gets up on a roof to fix an aerial, hardly anything happens but rather like the entire film it is riveting. This film really is a love letter to the forgotten people from the film & television industries in the Sixties & Seventies and I cannot wait to see it again. Highly Recommended.
Its curious to me that so many woman critics are complaining about Margot's lack of lines meanwhile QT is literally rewriting history and saving her character.
akxsharma I wish it had gone down that way. Did anyone else notice when the ticket girl made her stand next to the poster and said “stand next to the poster so people know who you are.” No one would have known Sharon Tate, especially these days.
The story of Rick Dalton is almost identical to western star Lee Van Cleef who played villians and small parts in American westerns for years and his career was all but over and was living in a motel off the Sunset strip when Italian western director Sergio Leone (the best, not the second best) saw one of Lee’s movies and offered him a part in For A Few Dollars More which took him from obscurity to him becoming a major star in Europe and led him to star in one of the most iconic westerns of all time in The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Lee enjoyed a solid career after that in both Hollywood and Europe.
I think many actors are contributing to Tarantino's projects because he won't be around much longer in the business. Even if Margot Robbie's character was minimal, she wanted to be a part of his filmography. Also have to hand it to Brad Pitt for once again getting to work with an interesting director; his film career's been quite blessed in that regard.
There was a form of respect in that line. They don't deserve to see you cry but also it's weak to cry in front of the Mexicans, you can't look weak around them.
Funniest ”missed joke” in the movie is, that in the beginning of the movie Rick says to Cliff, that he could be just one pool party away from being in a Polanski movie. At the end of the movie he gets an invite into the Polanski`s house after....hmmm.... an epic pool party :D...circle closes.
Jyrki K I dont think that was a missed joke. I think that's the fairytale ending that Quentin was going for with him being invited. He does end up being in a Polanski movie and reviving his career.
TooCooFoYou That part didn’t happen irl. Nobody ran away, they just brutally murdered 5 people. 6 if you count the baby. A couple people were stabbed 50/60 times.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 I know she didn't run away, but she also didn't commit any of the murders and testified against them, which led to her avoiding jailtime.
Did any one get the Inglorious Basterds reference. One the Italian films he starred in was directed by Antonio Margheriti. As soon as I saw that I bust out laughing!!
The problem was that the parts it showed had nothing to do with the two main leads, and it felt like the movie ground to a halt whenever it cut to them.
@@Syklonus The movie wasn't intended to be experienced that way. It takes its time to appreciate that period and the seemingly minute moments. When you observe how Tarantino's camera follow Tate, you can see by the close, lingering shots on her face and youthful body Tarantino's wishful thinking; As if he couldn't believe that this woman passed away so young and in such a tragic manner that he carelessly ogles at her, even stalks her just so he could see every precious last moment of her life before it was taken away.
Unfortunetly though she isn't living beautifully or free, as she was brutally murdered with her four friends and unborn baby. I'm disappointed by Quentis choice to allow history to become a fairytale and make out that she is still alive.
@@danielle5980 Tarantino does not aspire for realism in any of his films. You'd probably seen this storytelling choice in Inglorious Basterds (him revising how WW2 concluded), because the power of cinema does not lie simply on realism --it can also come from its capacity to create it's own reality, even for a short period of time. Reenacting Tate's murder in a movie is disrespectful to her and indulgent and glorifying to the suspects. What the director did was a form of wishful nostalgia. And us knowing that the events that happened in the movie wasn't true hits real hard.
Rick Wigington thats crazy to me. Cliff is literally being an intrusive dude around people that are capable of many gruesome things. How can he not feel the tension smh
I get what Chris means in that the scene fizzled out a bit when it turns out the guy really was just having a nap, but certainly the rest of that scene, including the spare tyre bit, was excellent
Agreed. I also felt that she had such an impact on him in the movie that he didn't want to fuck up his lines or anything while shooting with her; as he'd done previously. Her saying it was the best acting she'd seen just put a massive smile on my face.
Bill Murray from The Man Who Knew Too Little That’s not entirely what the OP is saying. The movie overall is a well executed love letter to 1960’s Hollywood. Totally worth it, then Tarantino throws a massive curve ball in the finale. It was great, classic Tarantino.
There's only tension if you know what happened to the real Sharon Tate. Those who don't know history won't experience any tension. And knowing Tarantino it's pretty clear he will change history to his liking.
@@Leoza246 I think you're underestimating people's general ignorance. It happened 50 years ago and most watching the movie weren't even born then. Sharon Tate never reached legendary status like James Dean or Marilyn Monroe - both of which died tragically before their time. There's no well known classic movie she appeared in. Not like say Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz or Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. Most today have no idea who Roman Polanski is. Far more know who Michael Bay is. I also have talked to tons of people utterly unaware to the fact they saw a modern day remake (most I've talked to are oblivious to the fact it's the 4th time they made A Star Is Born) which indicates they did *zero* research about the movie before seeing it. Hate to say this but I'd say 90% go to see a movie solely from the trailer and because others said it was "good". An A-lister actor also draws in the audience - even if the movie itself was torn to shreds by an unanimous group of 300 film critics worldwide. And btw, I heard older people lecturing their grown up kids in the movie theater about Sharon Tate seemingly oblivious to the fact the character would appear at all in the movie. Seems to me that even those who knew the story had no idea the murder of her (in this completely avoided murder) would play a pivotal part in the final of this movie. The trailer is all about Di Caprio and Pitt acting out the 60's. When it comes to history - especially events that were a mere footnote and which won't be mentioned in schools - people in generally are scary ignorant. Ask people on the street (as in those who haven't seen this movie, which should be no sweat either) if they know who Sharon Tate was. You'd be lucky to find 1 in 10 who knows her and her tragic fate.
I guess youre eight but I wish had a meaningfull part on the movie... She had only scene in the theatre but otherwise shes just there thats my only con but shes not a real character imo
The tension for me was waiting for the end because I didn't want to see them die. I was so relieved that they lived in the end then overcome with sadness.
I didn't know who Sharon Tate was, and I still felt the tension. I know there would be something sinister happened to them. Man what a director Tarantino is!
@@Antonio-sd2ce Bro same. I thought that red head was about to shoot him when he went in that house and then I thought he was gonna get killed when they went to go get Tex because he was beating that dude's ass for popping his tire. I was so relieved when Tex made it back to the ranch and you see the car driving away.
DiCaprio having a breakdown in his trailer after he fluffed his lines was totally improvised by DiCaprio and it was brilliant and funny, such a good movie.
@@combatwombat2134 I think it helps to have a nice fat juicy monologue that they can feature while presenting the nominees, and the monologue that Waltz does in bastards is legendary.
Love allllll the actors AND Tarantino- but you know when a friend is telling you a story and they include every useless part and they drag the story on? Thats what this movie was for me.
Thank you this movie not having a plot wasn't Tarantino's vision the bare bones a good script that has a fucking plot makes a movie not the "artistic vision" I mean what the fuck these critics don't know what they are talking about every scene felt like the beginning of the movie but I did think he did a good job and the actors were excellent and there were great scenes all and all it totally missed the mark for being an actual movie
@@minutemovies2766 Punctuation, please. I do not understand what you are saying But yeah, all those scenes weren't "useless". Tarantino was making us attached to the characters, all to make the final scene even more satisfying.
@@daviddonnelly585 "disrespectful to the actual victims" So... you would be more glad to see pregnant Sharon Tate brutally murdered rather than watch the killers die? Just because it will be more "respectful" for the victims?
So I’m kind of surprised by Chris and Angry Joes reaction to this film. Some of the complaints like Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate not being important to the narrative, and the film lacking tension indicate they missed Tarantino’s point. Going into the film Tarantino expects us be aware in 1969 Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson family and based on his previous work that murder will likely be the climax of the film. This is foreshadowed throughout the film, like when we learn Rick lives next door to Sharon and how Cliff keeps running into one of the Manson girls, eventually taking her home to their camp. Theres supposed to be a slow building tension as these things play out. The natural conclusion is Rick and Cliff are likely to get caught in the cross hairs and more than likely be punished for their brazen disrespect of the Manson clan. Rick in the driveway the night of the murder and cliff when he visits their campsite and beats up the guy who flattened his tire. The acid dipped cigarette, Rick and cliff getting drunk. It’s all meant to create tension, for us to worry they won’t be able to put up a fight During the inevitable Sharon Tate murder scene. Notice how they put time stamps on the screen the night of the attack. We’re supposed to think this is a recreation of the real murder. Until the fairy tale reversal. Cliff runs into one of the Manson girls a few times and eventually ends up taking her to their camp. I felt this tension and sense of anticipation throughout the whole film. Then we get the beautiful and satisfying ending when he flips our expectations and cliff and Rick end up inadvertently saving the day and rewriting history. Tarantino wants us to think this film is doomed to follow real life history with Rick and Cliff caught in the crossfire. The film is basically a fairy tale (hence the title) where Tarantino’s fictional characters essentially have supernatural strength and ability. Like how Cliff put up an even fight with Bruce lee. In real life Cliff would have gotten his ass kicked by Bruce. But here, these characters are like Tarantino childhood movie heroes. He was 6 years old in 1969 and looked up these types of actors and performers (Rick and Cliff) like kids today look up to iron man and captain America. So in this fantasy fairy tale his movie heroes have supernatural strength and ability.
I also think that the role Sharon played in this film was to sort of gather up even more sympathy for her. She was a actress on the rise in 1969 and scenes like her being talked about at the playboy mansion and her watching her own movie confirmed this. I also think the ending had alot more to it than just gratuitous violence. It's almost like Tarantino's way of getting back at the Manson family for basically ending the Hollywood golden age. Absolutely fantastic film.
I agree with most of that. But, the "twist" really wasnt a twist. Anyone who has seen any of Tarantino's films knew that Rick and Cliff were not in any danger, and that they would kill the hippies in historical revision. Because of this, it stripped all of the "tension" you speak of.
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD: I went in to this thinking the Sharon Tate murder would be shown in some way or another, i just hoped it wasn't to graphic since it's based on something that really happened. But when Rick approached the "hippies" in the car i started to realize where it was going. It's a complete alternate reality where Cliff Booth and Rick Dalton altered what actually happened in real-life. The fact she wasn't killed in this alternate reality and that the actual killers got what they deserved makes the ending so beautiful and sentimental, and to be honest it makes the whole film for me. Furthermore the fact that Rick realizes he wasn't so irrelevant after all given Sharon Tate's friend recognized him and most importantly Sharon Tate even knows his name was very endearing. I'd give the film an 8.5/10.
yea it definitely was crying as they were all walking into the house together....knowing what was really happening in that house in real life. giving us the thought of what could have happened was indeed bittersweet and moving
Being a little bit older I REALLY felt the tension, knowing the true story of what happened, how evil Manson was. It was like having a very dark presence over every scene, especially the scenes with Margot Robbie...
Sonny Greenwich Jr yes knowing the real story I know would’ve helped a lot of the younger audience, I adored that we got a fantasy ending in the movie compared to the brutal truth of the story
Yeah even though I’m only 20, I’m a big history buff. So pretty much the whole movie, I was scared about what was going to happen to not just Sharon Tate, but Rick and Cliff too.
Loved how Dicaprio acted someone who's trying his best to act, it takes a special kind of actor to pull this off. Next to the barscene in IB the scene with the little girl who tells him it's the best acting I have ever seen, is the best.
the scene when he has the little girl on his lap and throws her i think is on par with his Candyland scene in Django.... was performed EXTREMLEY well. Obv Django is abit better because of the improve he does but you know. Still fantastic.
@@TheGoldenGod. As much as I hated most of the "movie" scenes in the movie (mostly because they dragged on way too long and didn't really feel like something that would be aired on TV back then), I will admit it was kinda ballsy to have Leo cuddle up to the girl on that chair for what seemed like an eternity. Tarantino could legimitaley get sued for child abuse.
Didn't you noticed the cynical aspects of these scenes? It's a EIGHT YEARS OLD girl saying that overacting was the best performance she witnessed in her entire life... The entire 8 years of her life, lol Goddamn people, it's that hard to interpret a simple joke?
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I think the meaning behind the scene was that he acted his best because he didn't want to disappoint the girl and was supposed to be very heartfelt after she said he acted great. Keep in mind the director also absolutely loved it and he did act better than his previous scenes a little I think.
Admittedly if you know about the Manson stuff then you’ll know that nothing happened to Spahn, so the scene might be less tense. But you still wonder if Cliff will make it out alive or not.
This movie was a breathe of fresh air I needed. 99% of movies have such simple plots that are given away in the title. I went into this not really knowing the plot and enjoying the wild ride Tarantino always takes us on
This was a wild ride for you? I agree a lot of films nowadays have poor plots but you just admitted this film to not even having one, which it did, it was just randomly executed. People have different ideas of a good film, this had good acting, a few entertaining scenes and the visionary was good at times but that does not constitute a good film. Tarantino has generally made hit films, even his other random films from the past had a general meaning to it. This certainly wasn’t a wild ride other than the ending so it seems certain fans are just easily pleased by short amounts of a 2hour45 minute film. In that time you have to impress to keep viewers engaged, and it was only my open mind that kept me going, I was watching that with avid movie hubs that came to a similar conclusion. It only appeases people that weren’t after much and that’s ok...but don’t turn around and say it’s a good film when you have nothing other than good imagery and good acting to back it.
Black Ninja because Chris is actually knowledgeable in directing and filmmaking. He is much more qualified to be considered a “critic” when compared to Jeremy. I’d describe Jeremy as the average film-goer. Like come on, Jeremy like Suicide Squad...
Tristan Winchester I think thats the point. I think that was quentin’s way of confirming wether he killed her or not. The way he calmly murders every one of the mansons and also is able to hold his own against Bruce. Maybe we are supposed to be more scared of cliff than anyone else in the movie
Tension? are you serious, it's super tense if you know the Manson story. So it's better t o know the story before watching this movie. The ranch scene was creepy. I agree it just faded away, but at that point I knew then that the Manson family (those hippies) wanted revenge.
Bruh your not told to know about the mansion story before watching it. If you don't know about the case, then it has absolutely no tension other then the very end
I agree, the ranch scene was scary because you know Tarantino and about the history. It was genius to make it all work out in that scene. All his movies are the opposite in a scene like that and he really had me fooled by my own anticipation. Knowing the stort made those hippies so damn creepy.
I agree with you, but I personally found the first scene with the bear Jew in Inglorious Basterds to be more intense. Just hearing his bat hit the hard floor got me ready for action. Eli Roth did a good job with that role. Edit: said film instead of role.
I loved every minute of it! Margot really had Sharon Tate's voice on point. I thought the ending was going to be so predictable because of what actually happened to Sharon but I was completely surprised with the direction Tarantino decided to take. I really wish Hollywood would make more movies like this.
Alejandro Gonzalez I loved how Brad Pitt’s character at Spahn Ranch ends up in a real life western, complete with the bad guys going to get ‘Tex’ for help. I thought this film was great. A lot of people in the comments are saying it doesn’t do anything, but I think that’s kind of the point. It does tell a story, it just takes its time to get there & I had no problem with that.
@@fierro7771 I've seen all of Sharon Tate's movies and the way Margot spoke really reminded me of her actual voice. Of course it's not going to sound exactly the same but I feel like she did the best she could.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Same here. I see it as just a really great film meant to watch with friends and family while also getting to know what Hollywood used to look like and what it felt like back then. Some people don't like the exterior driving shots but I loved all of them especially when Brad Pitt was driving and Los Bravos "Bring A Little Lovin" came on, that was a magical moment.
Imo, Brad Pitt has quietly become underrated as an actor. Early in his career he was known for his looks and then for his relationships. But he's great and I think he's an actor that really suits the Tarantino style. Hope they keep collaborating.
@@Windrammer Yes because his personal life and looks has often been the focus in the mainstream media rather than his acting skill. For years more people heard about him due to "Brangelina" rather than his performances.
Yeah Brad does a lot of weird stuff like Burn After Reading and Snatch and my favorite Tarantino film is Inglorious Basterds where Pitt does a strange but excellent job. The character is larger than life but also kind of real and down to earth. I agree, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were both swamped by this mainstream media perception of them with Oprah and Brangelina SHIT. But at the end of the day, Tom Cruise is one of the bravest actors and working his way towards Jackie Chan in terms of doing his own stunts (especially when you consider that he is 57 and doing extreme stunts at a later age than Jackie really has) and Brad Pitt is a diverse and subtle actor.
@@thahomiebill268 or should I say William? He's informally known to everyone as Sam and as I couldn't be bothered writing Samuel L Jackson I shortened it, little did I know the full name police would read it.
I saw that too. It might have been earlier than 40 minutes in though when the kids walked out. I took my 15 year old kid with me to watch it and he totally dug it.
