@@squidstone8399 the stuntman, as in Cliff's Friend, Brand Pitt character did all the work. and Leo Character Cliff did the big final shot. You're Fucking Stupid
@@moose2577 Yeah, I heard. I haven't seen Justified yet. I think I was still in Afghanistan when it came out and I never got around to seeing beyond the pilot (Like The Sopranos), which I thought was okay.
@@jordangibbish7701 For what it's worth, the first season is pretty short and is okay but not necessarily great, but season 2 onward it gets really great.
It’s a classy touch that Tarantino didn’t edit Margot Robbie in to The Wrecking Crew like he did with DiCaprio. There’s something really sweet about putting the real Sharon Tate on the screen there and showcasing her as a person rather than just a victim.
With just a few scenes and not many more lines Margot Robbie makes us absolutely fall in love with Sharon Tate, which _seems_ like it's being done to make the inevitable tragic ending all the more impactful. Then, y'know, Quentin Tarantino happens :).
Beautiful scene. The ending made me smile ha that's how it should of been in reality. I adore this movie . I know some feel it dragged, but for me I enjoyed every moment . I can't explain it, but I was surprised how much I loved it
My parents, while watching this movie, gave me an uneasy look when they learned Sharon Tate was a focal point. They were so worried, knowing firsthand the history, how it would play out in the film. They had such a look of satisfaction from the ending. Exactly the reaction Tarantino wanted. And my mom was a TV nerd in this era, so for once, she knew ALL the references.
The whole grotesque and brutal violence against the three Manson Murders was justified in my eyes. The things they did IRL to Sharon Tate, Jay and the rest was horrible and brutal. They deserved that pain and punishment that was dealt them in the film. I wish the film version was the IRL. Where Evil is defeated and the good and innocent are allowed to continue on.
I think that's why it worked. They were able to take three real people and kill them in an over the top ways because they were pieces of shit who didn't deserve to live out their lives. Knowing what they did to the Tate home and LaBiancas makes you wish this was really how it turned out
"Justification" and "deserving" are myths. Completely imaginary. The universe doesn't revolve around us just like it didn't the T-Rex or the dodo. Humans are just egomaniacs.
But it also is a role reversal movie that’s what the people at the cinema told us so what I thought was fixing to happens was that sharen and them would be the ones doing the killing (I’m sorry about how fucked up that is but I was just going off by what I was told) but turns out wasnt the case but no matter what Sharon Tate should’ve never died that way she should’ve had the kid should’ve been playing in movies that I could show my kids someday but she’s not because of those Idiots
Yes. You can also see it as a tribute to B-level actors. I know Tarantino has a lot of love for them, especially the ones he grew up watching. Choosing Pam Grier for Jackie Brown is an excellent example of his appreciation. I think Tate was shaping up to be one of those B-level actors, so it all makes sense.
This is Quentin’s 9th film, the Kill Bills are one movie split into two, he doesn’t consider them separate from each other. Also, Jackie Brown wasn’t his first film, Reservoir Dogs was.
I found the last shot of Sharon and Jay inviting Leo's character over to their house after the whole ordeal just made me feel... sad? This is the first time I ever felt sad from a Tarantino movie lol. To me it felt like, "If only this had happened instead of this." or "what if...?"
@@charleswright9696 Yes, Brad Pitt even said it brought a tear to his eye when he watched the film. I think it's a very emotional ending, and the funny added scene of Leo doing the commercial doing the credits is a great tension breaker and lets you leave with a smile...
I wish this was how the real killing ended,but sadly it doesn't,I was crying at the end when Mrs.Tate and her friends were greeting Rick into their life
I’m sure I’ve commented on this before, but the icing on the cake of the ending is the use of Maurice Jarre’s music from “Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.” That tune plays over an opening title card that essentially says ‘maybe this isn’t the way it was, but it is the way it should have been.’ I knew what it was instantly the first time I saw it and I was crying my eyes out the first time I saw Tarantino’s movie in the cinema.
27:30 I remember going to see this movie a second time with some friends, none of which had seen it yet and I briefly told them about the Sharon Tate murders, then when the movie flashes forward a couple months and we see pregnant Sharon Tate one of my friends turned to me with a look of horror and said 'oh god she was pregnant, I'm not gonna be able to watch this' and that look of horror stayed on their face the remainder of the movie (meanwhile I was holding back laughter); it made it all the more satisfying when he and everyone else burst out laughing when the ending happens, definitely gonna go down as one of my favourite cinema experiences ever.
Absolutely, one of the best things I've seen at the theater ever...the ending lifted it up so high you left the theater smiling. Truly a heartfelt film by QT.
The best way to react to the end of the movie is, Its a love letter to everyone that thinks of what they would have done to the Manson's for the murder of Sharon Tate, Just a way to let go and enjoy the bad guys suffering vs. what happened irl with them getting away with it.
@@dgrmn12345 He and his entire cult deserve worse. The fact many of his cult members are still alive is downright evil and wrong. They all should have been put to death years ago.
alucard624 true. I would love nothing more than to have, or better yet see, them killed. But i consider that a mercy. Imagine a living lifetime of mockery. Seeing their fictional selves and names on screen made into incompetent fools and idiots. To have their names mocked and laughed at and see their lives made into a joke. These hippie fucks live in an idea. Satirizing it destroys that idea. And seeing their fictional selves made onto the fools we see them as would be torture for the ages. And when they die, let them hear our laughs till they finally meet their maker who will no doubt laugh at them too. Now aint that poetic justice to the pathetic fools they are?
The dead don't suffer the Death Sentence is a mercy, a promised end to an incarceration. i'd rather let them rot living, eat shit slop that's been spit in by the prison chefs and wish better that they'll never get; only being denied every human decency they trampled on. fuck it, when the technology gets there; make 'em immortal, let them see out their multiple Life sentences with lifetimes worth of imprisonment. heaven and hell is a question- but while they're here, we can make damn sure they pay what they owe.
Just a few interesting facts for you guys: George Spahn was a real guy and he did allow the Manson family to live on the land. The people you see attacking Brad and Leo were the four who actually killed Sharon Tate and everyone else who was in the house that night. The girl who was shown to have fled was Linda Kasabian... and she did not flee in real life. She was outside the house standing by the car because she did not have the stomach to go through with the murders... and so they had her ready at the car for their escape. She would later testify against the other killers. Tex actually said that bit about the Devil's Business in real life. LANCER was a real TV show. Bruce Lee actually did train Sharon Tate in the martial arts moves she made in that movie.
I took my dad to this movie. He was alive during the Manson murders. He saw the actual new reports and he told me that he always thought Sharon Tate was just a Hollywood elite who was rich and married a rich director. This movie made him see what a kind and free spirit she was and it changed his entire opinion of her. I think that’s what Tarantino wanted to show. I also think he wanted to show what should’ve happened. He brutally murdered the murders on screen because you can tell this story is heartbreaking to him, especially since he loves classic Hollywood. The thing that brings a tear to me eye is when Sharon Tate come on over the speaker and asks if everyone is okay. To know what actually happened to her and then to hear her ask that question is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen and felt in a movie. Tarantino is such an amazing Director and writer. Also, the thing with Bruce Lee, like I said, Tarantino loves, knows and studies Hollywood from this time period. I’m sure he knows something about Bruce Lee that we don’t know. His family and others got really pissed about this scene but maybe he was someone who kinda talked high about himself but later in the film, it also shows him helping actors and getting along with them. Also that scene needs to set up that Cliff Booth can go toe to toe with Bruce Lee and explains his epic combat skills against the murders.
A lot of fighters get labeled as being rude/asses/aggressive when doing day to day activity’s because the violence that’s seen during their fights is then projected onto regular things mostly by others once the match has ended. (The role/character of the fighter when on tv is different then their actual day to day life, to say that the character is the personality is misrepresentation.) Bruce lee was an astounding person, both in cinema history and with martial arts regarded as one of the most understanding people to work with and know as he was always very gentle with how he would approach fight scenes (never actually fighting them to hurt them always being careful of where his punches land/how forceful/if contact was made at all.) (he was always very sweet to people and always tried to be accommodating even in a time period where he would have been treated significantly different because of the fact that he was Asian in a very racist America) martial arts isn’t like mma there’s a lot of it that is for show there’s parts that are absolutely theatrical components compared to practical. You can look at any martial arts tournaments of this era and watch particularly weapon demos - most movements are choreographed as steps/motions to show off you know how to do the skill it’s not a system of movements you would do actually in combat. There parts of martial arts where combat/1v1fighting and sparring is the intention and knocking your opponent down or scoring a point is the goal. If someone’s trained for over 8 years at a sport ya they’re gonna be recognized as good at it and they’re probably gonna have some weight/knowledge on how to deliver those punches/kicks. The style of fighting is exactly a style not stuff to use in a street fight for most people. Which is why the joke of him losing a street fight against this ‘stuntman’ is so funny. He’s a proclaimed champion who’s overconfident - something people expect of fighters/champions; when he’s not in a ring/on a camera his fighting/acting is useless when practicality and street knowledge are what’s really being compared. The absolute truth and reality is that Bruce lee would have been able to snap the man like a twig but this is a fairytale where this stunt man is goated and the character Bruce lee can be a loser. It’s not an accurate depiction because that ruins the movies illusion of being a fairytale where reality is suspended. Bruce lee in this scene is only an actor he’s reduced down to being a portrayal of shitty-king-fu guys who act tough then get tko-ed. It’s considered rude because it takes any fighter and equates them to being an abuser/wife beater type when they might be focused on the sport the match then get to relax and switch out of that mode. It’s the assumption that fighters don’t ever stop fighting and are always combative. The other issue is it imply a doping. When the fighter is consistently aggressive in or out of the ring/hyper focused on working out it imply a they are using steroids/or an upper (meth/coke/mushrooms etc) (It’s like all fighters are now seen as Mike Tyson or like The Rock, you can learn every single detail of their life history/autobiography on only know them through the videos of their fights: the perception of them only on screen is gonna be vastly different to their perceptions as regular people/daily life and tabloids that use both aspects of daily life/screen time affect the perception and understanding of their character as well to the public… This Bruce lee depiction is like if you were to watch his badass movies only and then extrapolate a Bruce lee badass/no shits given/fight! Persona that almost mimics a Villian/ass. So while the portrayal of Bruce lee’s character is done to suspend reality it also ruins the perception of him as a real life human being who behaved in a total 180 from his portrayal in the movie. If you’ve watched Bruce lee this depiction is both mind boggling and a little hysterical at how outlandish and ridiculous he is behaving - but again it’s character Bruce lee not Bruce lees autobiography in a fictional once upon a time story about the Manson murders who end up dying instead of committing the murder like they did in real life. I liked that he wasn’t just actually Bruce lee because non of the characters depicting real/semi-real actors of that era are trying to portray accurate depictions of those people. It’s all fantasy. Bruce lee as a character can be made as ridiculous as possible and loose a fight in a wildly ridiculous way that he never would have because none of this story is real. If he was successful/real then the Manson murders should have been the same success/real/true to what actually happened in reality.
Actually, in regards to Bruce Lee, in real life he didn't have any respect for American stuntmen because they had rules against actual physical contact. Whereas Bruce believed in actually hitting the stuntmen to make it realistic. Tarantino was just representing that fact while simultaneously establishing that Cliff Booth could hold his own in a fight.
@@Cliffster420 he alway treated people respectfully even the stuntmen who he fought. His issue with American stuntmen is the same issue many athletes face when looking at faked performances. They can look at the faked stuff and know immediately how it’s faked why it’s fake and respond to that falsity saying it ruins the movies realism/ability to convey concepts accurately. Christopher lee as an actor/stuntman performed ‘getting stabbed’ in lord of the rings as accurately as possible due to his real-world war experiences of seeing people stabbed to death. You don’t scream you gasp/inhale so that’s the performance that he gave because it’s accurate and that’s terrifying to people who Know for other it might seem underperformed but it’s accurate and that’s what makes the performance more interesting then a goofy movie scream of pain/falling. Any pro fighter can watch a movie and go ‘damn none of these punch and kicks look good have power/speed/weight behind them and everyone’s doing flips crashing into things or screaming but it’s as real as a wwe match and not an actual way an actual fighter of xxxx description would fight.’ So many fighters and many stuntmen agree that sometimes for the best most accurate shot you need to actually take/do the hit. The reason why Americans usually don’t take the hit is because medical expensive may equate to an entire paycheck so going the extra mile for the work to look good isn’t worth it is you’re essentially not paid enough to even get a meal afterwards. It’s why stuntmen like ‘daredevils’ / ‘jackass’ need to have really over the top performances that draw in insane crowds because a chunck of their earnings goes towards healing time/hours where your in a cast/bed ridden and can’t make financial income so the performance where your injured NEEDS to make a lot of money on a limited budget and why it’s usually considered ‘carney’ or kitschy
Yes, I suspect that Tarantino did know a lot about Bruce Lee. Many people don’t realize that Jay Sebring was the reason why Bruce Lee got his first break. He recommended Bruce for the part of Keto. Bruce Lee was Jay Sebring’s friend. I suspect that Bruce would have been touched by a movie that allowed his friend to “live” again!! I just doubt he would have been offended.
Well put. I found the film terribly boring ─ and I can enjoy a film like _Koyaanisqatsi._ But the ending was exactly as you say. . . _cathartic._ The Manson murders had always been something that saddened and haunted me. This is a great twist on that.
T Mac your so wrong, the Academy is known for belittling great foreign films. Parasite is the first non-English film to win Best Picture. The movie is almost if not the perfect film imo, can’t you just appreciate great filmmaking and cinema?
T Mac then what movie out of the other nominees should have won? I really can’t thing of more deserving film then Parasite and I’ve seen every other contending film in 2019.
Na Hong jin is the most underrated director of all time hopefully bong Joon ho will shine a light on South Korean cinema and show the world what they've been missing
@@cfbg try telling my mates that I'm always waxing lyrical about South Korean cinema but it's always falling on deaf ears. All my favourite films are foreign language films Timecrimes is one of my favourite films ever
Surprising people is really hard and used to happen in like 60s to 80s and rarely in this decade And you know you're good when u can surprise audiences from any generation in any given time especially this one
Going into this movie without knowing everything about the Sharon Tate murders is a *huge* mistake. Knowing who was involved, when it happened, where it happened, and just how horrific it all was is the key to enjoying this film. Half the tension throughout the movie is the build towards the murders and whether or not they happen, if Tarantino is going to show it. Knowing that the first person they killed was a stuntman at their ranch vastly ramps up the scene where Pitt is there. The end scene is built on the audience already hating these murderers and seeing Brad Pitt's character shit all over the "mystique" around them. Going into this movie cold fundamentally ruins it.
It doesn’t ruin the movie at all going in cold, if anything it enhances it. You don’t need to know the history or back story to feel the suspense, you can feel it because that’s what Tarantino does best.
I disagree. I didn't know anything and could pick up on the suspense and film technique of the movie. I did think it wasn't dialogued as Tarantino's other films (except the western filming scene). I also didn't get why Margot Robbie was in the movie, so respect for Sharon Tate wasn't there. Overall it still wasn't one of his best films.
@@amanilee7708 The whole film was basically an excuse for Tarantino to live out a what if scenario in regards to preventing Sharon Tate from being murdered and killing the Manson cult members like they deserved.
I thought it was only ok the first time I watched it. I thought it was damn good the second time. The third time I thought it was easily in the top three movies of last year. It gets better every time you watch it. It's one of Tarantino's most mature movies and it twists in and out of genres throughout the movie. It's a drama, comedy, thriller, buddy comedy, period and hangout movie etc. all wrapped into one. It reminds me of the Big Lebowski and over the years I think this movie will have the same effect on people. It's going to just get better.
I have a major issue with the end of the film, which is the coincidental nature of it all. They just happen to decide to go into the neighbor's house first, which just happens to be where Brad Pitt is, who just happens to have been at the Ranch earlier. There's too much "just happens" for my taste. Had Pitt encountered them outside while he was wasted and walking the dog, and they recognized him (even if he didn't recognize them), and they think, "Oh, shit, this guy knows who we are. He's seen us. We better take him out first." That would be one thing. Instead it, "Let's kill the people who taught us to kill." Bitch please, Rick Dalton didn't teach you how to kill. Charles Manson did that. Want to kill the one responsible, turn around and go back where you came from. The end is entertaining as all hell, but it has no logic. IMO, it's Tarantino's worst screenplay.
@@Windupchronic Well, they didn't just happen to decide, Leo read them the riot act and THAT is what brought the subject up of killing actors....the fact that Brad was there was ONE coincidence...how many other coincidences did you see? They lived next door for heaven's sake. The Manson crew were totally screwed up on drugs when they committed the crime (in real life) so their bizarre logic made perfect sense to me. And Brad taking it out on them was not only revenge for Tate, it was revenge for the stuntman Manson killed at Spahn Ranch for which he was sentenced to 99 years. It couldn't have been more perfect for me.
Agreed so much! I enjoyed it after seeing it the first time, then I couldn't stop thinking about it and threw it on again a few days later. Definitely one of my favorite of the year. One of my favorite Tarantino movies of all time. Granted, I do have a deep appreciation of 60's Hollywood and music. My parents were in their 20's in the 60's, so I grew up with a lot of that music, although I was born in the 80's.
I’ve never been a movie made in the 1960s. However, I loved this movie. It’s so nostalgic. I felt like I was immersed in this time period, with these characters. Rick and Cliff have great chemistry. Sharon made the film until happy and joyful. All the acting was great, and I would shocked and laughing out loud at the scene where they broke into Rick’s house. It was obviously overkill, but I honestly just thought about what those people did in real life. The ending was the cherry on top.
One of my favourite little trivia tidbits about this film is that apparently QT tried to tell Brad Pitt how to take his shirt off on the roof, and someone else in the crew was like “No. You don’t tell Brad Pitt how to take off a shirt. He shows YOU how to take off a shirt.”
Inglourious Basterds is my top Quentin Tarantino movie, though I love all of his movies. One thing I don't understand is why so many people are harsh critics about Django Unchained- I mean, that's how the times WERE back then, seriously, I think there are just some people that should just watch PG-13 movies for their own sensibilities. Anyway, thanks guys for reacting to one of my favorite movies of the year. Also, check out Parasite, 1917 and The Irishman
Honestly. Like, Tarantino is the least racist guy that could easily be considered racist. Like Samuel L Jackson said, almost every Tarantino movie that SLJ has starred in, his character has been the wittiest and smartest in the movie. A racist couldn't do that
Who is saying that it's racist? I remember when it came out and it had some critics, but I haven't much since then. It's my favorite Tarantino movie and one of my favorite movies of the last decade.
I thought it was only ok the first time I watched it. I thought it was damn good the second time. The third time I thought it was easily in the top three movies of last year.

I've watched this movie like 10 times and everytime the ending makes me cry. Every. Time. This movie has become one of my favorites of all time. It's even got me to look at 1960s movies, TV and music and made me love and appreciate this point and time.
This movie is a goddam experience. That ending is probably one of my favorite moments I’ve experienced in a theater. I want to watch this again with people who don’t know anything about it
@Chokwe Because they need to provide a reaction in addition to just watching a movie. Reading subtitles makes their jobs harder. However, they did recently react to raid redemption but that was mostly just for the fight scenes where you don't have to pay attention to dialogue. That said, id still love for them to watch parasite.
Wasn't expecting this, dope! I hope you guys react to "Knives out" and "1917" (I just saw it a few days ago and it blew me away. It'll come out on digital and stuff next month).
@@CrimsonCharan That's true but then we wouldn't get a reaction to it hehe. Also I don't know if the movie is still playing in theaters over there (it just came out on my country but I thought it was released in the U.S. a while ago).
“The whole movie set you up for not that.” Eric that was the perfect way to explain that ending. But I do LOVE this movie. One of my favorite parts is when they show Cliff driving and just listening to music. Reminds me of when I’m driving in GTA. Also, in terms of what Shane said about people being offended by how Bruce Lee was used, it was actually his daughter that came out and said how unhappy she and their family was with how he was portrayed. Apparently he wasn’t cocky like that at all.
Honestly that ending scene was the best thing I've seen in a newer movies in a long time anyone who knows anything understands that when you punch a pitbull in the head he's only gonna bite down harder
Man I literally couldn’t breathe in the last scene. That shit was funny af. The funniest part is that the whole movie just sets you up for it and it’s fucking worth it 😂
Wait...unless you count Death Proof, then he has only 8 films if Kill Bill is 2 movies. I'm pretty sure Quentin doesn't count that, he said so himself.
Black Toad I’ve always heard kill bill is one movie. I think Tarantino had a cut of the whole thing called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. And Death Proof I’m pretty sure is one of his movies that he counts.
I loved the part in the movie where Brad and leonardo are watching the episode on the couch and talk as it's going on. It reminded me of mystery science theater 3000.
Omg I didn't expect this. Great reaction! This movie is so filled with references to that time of period, to pop culture, to Tarantino's filmography and to cinema in general that is nearly impossible to catch every one of the references in the first viewing. And that ending... damn... one of my best experiences in a theatre. DiCaprio was so good in this, he definitely excels when working with Tarantino, good ol' Quentin is such a great actors director. One of the little inside jokes I liked here was Zoë Bell and Kurt Russell beign a couple. Because, well... Zoë Bell is a great stuntwoman that have worked with Tarantino many times (she was the double of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill and also an actress/stunt in Death Proof and The Hateful Eight) and Kurt Russell played 'Stuntman Mike' on Death Proof... so it was funny to see them here playing a couple of stunt coordinators. There's lots of references like this one on this movie, Captain America would go crazy.
This movie was phenomenal but I think that the dread you feel bubbling in the back of your mind is an important element. I kept hoping Tarentino would play down Tate's murder and was even scared for that part to come. I was absolutely stunned and relieved and excited by the change in history and it is just awesome that he rewrote history for her and her baby and friends, for us to imagine them alive, even for a moment. This was an incredible work of art to me, and everyone outdid themselves.
@@chief_mourner it's an ending where in real life, those people violently murdered 4 people including an actress and her unborn baby because they lived in a fucking house that someone else used to live in. Watching those cunts die was phenomenal.
I honestly cried as soon as Sharon Tate started speaking after the point where she was actually murdered in real life. He gave Sharon a fairy tale ending, an ending she deserved. But I think it was the perfect touch to have her not physically appear and only hear her disembodied voice via the speaker. It's like getting to hear her speaking from beyond the grave and letting us imagine that she's okay and she made it. It's touching.
Yes in real life the girl in the car did run away with the car. He put a lot of details in this film that were totally factual he just flipped the conclusion to one that fit his narrative. Fun fact, the run away girl is the actress from stranger things and is the daughter of kill bill / pulp fiction star Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke so that was a little nod to his past films too.
no, she was told to wait in the car. she thought about fleeing, but feared for her baby back at the ranch. so she got out to go inside and try and stop it and that’s when some victims came outside to get away and were killed in front of her. she tried to pretend like she heard people coming to get the others to stop and flee
It's not just about Hollywood at that time, it's about our culture was like back then. We shared music, t.v., films with all Americans. There was a common connection with everything, not like now.
when Brad pit goes back to the house to work on the roof I spotted the flamethrower in the garage on my first watch after that I was just waiting for it to come back into the movie
This was his 10th until he said Kill Bill vols 1 & 2 counted as one film. This will be his 9th until he decides Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs are two parts to one film...
Ser Friend Technically speaking this was also supposed to be his ninth, since the movie The Hateful Eight is called like this also because of the meta fact that it was his Eighth film. I guess his next movie will be his last - unless he pulls something else. I just hope he makes it in time to win an Oscar for directing, he never has which is ridiculous
Peter Sanders he should’ve won for this movie. I haven’t seen Parasite, I’m sure it’s brilliant and I’m sure Bong Joon Ho deserved it, but man this was the perfect film for Quentin to finally win. I thought it was the best directing of his career.
Nice job one of the best reactions so far and I've seen a lot. I loved this movie so much. Thank you so much you know I had to subscribe to your Channel
Rick Dalton, the actor, gets into the fake danger (rehearsing his lines shooting a movie at a ranch) Cliff Booth, the stunt double, gets himself into real danger (Spahn ranch scene) Pure cinematic genius
The whole point of the film is to show the innocence of the time period (50’s, early 60s) and to show this imminent darkness lurking in the background. That coincides with the television and film content changing and leaving Rick behind as well. The 50s/60s were filled with innocent cowboy shows and movies. But with the 70s, coinciding with Sharon Tate murders, the content changed to dark and violent films like taxi driver and Dirty Harry, and gritty cop tv shows. Actors were no longer clean looking cow boy types but grungy method actors. Tarantino’s movie takes this changing of eras and flips it on its ear and even changes history so the innocence of the period can live on within his own connected universe.
Gunna say not one to watch reaction videos but I love these guys and all their different takes on any given topic they discuss (topics I find very interesting as well). Especially now when we are all held up inside it makes you feel like you have a group to tap in and socialize with.
The best dog-feeding scene of all time. On the real, and I think a lot of folks have the same reaction: I loved it the first time I saw it but it left me with a weird nagging feeling, and then I **LOVED** it the second time through. Dunno why.
I only found out about what happened to Sharon Tate long after watching the movie (I did feel weird seeing Tate got so many meandering scenes), but when I saw the ending, I was really REALLY happy Cliff and everyone in the Polanski house are alright, because Cliff and Sharon are such sincere characters. Even Rick seemed to start 'evolving' as a person that night. I love it. Love this movie!
I have studied Sharon Tate for over 30 years. So much wonderful information about her and so many incredibly beautiful photos of her. Her sister Debra, and many other people have graciously shared their memories of her. This movie was so great, but I felt sad after I saw it; know what really happened “ in the end”…
These movies are going to be timeless pieces to capture moments in history that we will eventually lose. The idea of the golden age of Hollywood and the events that led to the death of a beloved innocent rising star being altered for optimum wish fullfiment by a director who loves moviemaking so much. We're never going to get back Hollywood in the 60s, or the Summer of Love 1969; I'm glad these movies exist for future generations who might forget about them.
For a bit of background the book "Helter Skelter" written by Vincent Bugliosi. He was the lawyer who lead the prosecution in the Tate-LaBianca murders, it's a great read.
I love this movie so much. And if you know the details of the Manson murders you know that those clan members deserve all that violence that happens to them at the end of this movie.
A lot of people are talking about the Sharon Tate stuff, and it definitely plays an important part, but it's also a great buddy movie. Rick and Cliff's friendship is so pure and real, with both of them looking out for the other in different ways. Also, I couldn't help but chuckle a little at Eric's realization that Bruce was in The Green Hornet as Kato, especially as he's dressed for the part in the scene.
The movie was very hard to get without growing up during all the actual events. The news of Sharon Tate was covered heavily, as were the Manson family back then. It was one of the most horrific things anyone have any heard of up to that point. In an upscale neighborhood, where people had a false sense of security. Knowing who Tex was, and what he, and his clan did to them at the time it happened made understanding the movie critical. Also the murder rumor that Clif was surrounded by, was a nod to Natalie Woods death. Where her husband actor Robert Wagnor was under suspicion for his whole life. That's why knowing all the historical facts were crucial. The altered outcome of those events made the movie more satisfying. Because Tarrentinos ending is what everyone, who were alive then, would have loved to have really happened
This movie is ART. Capital letters. It creates emotions. It has suspense, it has warmth, it has craziness, and it has nostalgia. How. How can I feel nostalgia when I was born in the 90s. I mean, what the hell.
I'm so glad you mentioned the sound design. I thought this movie should have won the Oscars for sound editing & mixing. Earlier in the review you said you felt like YOU were the camera. I think the sound design was a huge part of that... Great reaction, guys.
That final scene. The stuntman did all the hard work then the main star comes out and gets the final big shot. Pure genius.
You're fucking stupid. The stuntman didnt do anything in that scene. It was Pitt who fell over the table.
@@squidstone8399 Can't tell if you're joking or stupid. If the former, bad joke. If the latter, pay more attention in school.
@@squidstone8399 the stuntman, as in Cliff's Friend, Brand Pitt character did all the work. and Leo Character Cliff did the big final shot.
You're Fucking Stupid
SquidStone you’re fucking stupid
SquidStone hey everyone get a load of this guy
the actor who plays charlie manson in once upon a time in hollywood is the same one that plays him in Mindhunter.
He's said he figures people think he looks like Manson because he's short.
Damon Herriman was also great as Buddy on an amazing (but cancelled 😤😠😡) Cinemax series called Quarry and Perpetual Grace LTD.
He also played Dewey Crowe in Justified!
@@moose2577 Yeah, I heard. I haven't seen Justified yet. I think I was still in Afghanistan when it came out and I never got around to seeing beyond the pilot (Like The Sopranos), which I thought was okay.
@@jordangibbish7701 For what it's worth, the first season is pretty short and is okay but not necessarily great, but season 2 onward it gets really great.
The scene where Sharon Tate is watching her movie in the theatre and listening to the audience is absolutely adorable
It’s a classy touch that Tarantino didn’t edit Margot Robbie in to The Wrecking Crew like he did with DiCaprio. There’s something really sweet about putting the real Sharon Tate on the screen there and showcasing her as a person rather than just a victim.
Margot Robbie feet
Everything with Sharon was adorable, Margot absolutely nailed it.
With just a few scenes and not many more lines Margot Robbie makes us absolutely fall in love with Sharon Tate, which _seems_ like it's being done to make the inevitable tragic ending all the more impactful. Then, y'know, Quentin Tarantino happens :).
Beautiful scene. The ending made me smile ha that's how it should of been in reality. I adore this movie . I know some feel it dragged, but for me I enjoyed every moment . I can't explain it, but I was surprised how much I loved it
Sharon Tate's sister was a consultant... and she loved what Tarantino did with the ending. It offered her a "what if" ... and found it comforting.
And Debra Tate lent some of Sharon’s clothes for Ms. Robbie to wear.
The last few minutes of this movie was the craziest shit I've ever experienced in a theater.
D Leo or maybe his standards of crazy are just different from yours🙄
That's how I felt about Django personally, it was so tense up to the handshake.
@D Leo in terms of cinema experiences it was insane. Everyone in the room were laughing for the entire last part. Shit was wild
Yeah, in terms of reaction in the room it’s the naked Borat fight scene and then this.
You guys should see Jallikkattu 😅
My parents, while watching this movie, gave me an uneasy look when they learned Sharon Tate was a focal point. They were so worried, knowing firsthand the history, how it would play out in the film.
They had such a look of satisfaction from the ending. Exactly the reaction Tarantino wanted.
And my mom was a TV nerd in this era, so for once, she knew ALL the references.
The whole grotesque and brutal violence against the three Manson Murders was justified in my eyes. The things they did IRL to Sharon Tate, Jay and the rest was horrible and brutal. They deserved that pain and punishment that was dealt them in the film. I wish the film version was the IRL. Where Evil is defeated and the good and innocent are allowed to continue on.
I think that's why it worked. They were able to take three real people and kill them in an over the top ways because they were pieces of shit who didn't deserve to live out their lives. Knowing what they did to the Tate home and LaBiancas makes you wish this was really how it turned out
I wish Sharon toke martial arts I bet she would be awesome in a motile arts movie.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 yeah but that was how I always envisioned killing Hitler.
It's the Fairytale ending for once upon a time
"Justification" and "deserving" are myths. Completely imaginary.
The universe doesn't revolve around us just like it didn't the T-Rex or the dodo. Humans are just egomaniacs.
It focuses on Sharon Tate because it was celebrating her life. Who she was & what she was like. That’s what most of the movie was for me.
Efrain Sanchez Margot Robbie with brown eyes is a different animal lmao. She is gorgeous just like Sharon was
If anything it keeps her in the background, she's like an afterthought until the finale.
@@lonlyblackwolff right, and it was very enjoyable..
But it also is a role reversal movie that’s what the people at the cinema told us so what I thought was fixing to happens was that sharen and them would be the ones doing the killing (I’m sorry about how fucked up that is but I was just going off by what I was told) but turns out wasnt the case but no matter what Sharon Tate should’ve never died that way she should’ve had the kid should’ve been playing in movies that I could show my kids someday but she’s not because of those Idiots
Yes. You can also see it as a tribute to B-level actors. I know Tarantino has a lot of love for them, especially the ones he grew up watching. Choosing Pam Grier for Jackie Brown is an excellent example of his appreciation. I think Tate was shaping up to be one of those B-level actors, so it all makes sense.
Brad Pitt was smooth in this film.
Cliff Booth always be smooth baby
Leo's acting tho is far superior
He became ace ventura pet detective
Chokwe does he ever win oscars tho even tho he is deserving..? No
React Omaniac John Wilkes who?...
This is Quentin’s 9th film, the Kill Bills are one movie split into two, he doesn’t consider them separate from each other. Also, Jackie Brown wasn’t his first film, Reservoir Dogs was.
And pulp fiction was his second I’m pretty sure
Jack J yup, hell of a debut for a film-maker
@@chrispummill9215 got robbed by forest imo
@Ben Holmes forrest gump is great but far from an amazing movie
Being my favourite movie, I don't consider kill bill a separate movie either
I found the last shot of Sharon and Jay inviting Leo's character over to their house after the whole ordeal just made me feel... sad? This is the first time I ever felt sad from a Tarantino movie lol. To me it felt like, "If only this had happened instead of this." or "what if...?"
Exactly! That's how I felt. The ending although great, made me feel sad because....."Once Upon a Time"....if only it had the happy ending.
@@charleswright9696 Yes, Brad Pitt even said it brought a tear to his eye when he watched the film. I think it's a very emotional ending, and the funny added scene of Leo doing the commercial doing the credits is a great tension breaker and lets you leave with a smile...
I wish this was how the real killing ended,but sadly it doesn't,I was crying at the end when Mrs.Tate and her friends were greeting Rick into their life
I’m sure I’ve commented on this before, but the icing on the cake of the ending is the use of Maurice Jarre’s music from “Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.” That tune plays over an opening title card that essentially says ‘maybe this isn’t the way it was, but it is the way it should have been.’ I knew what it was instantly the first time I saw it and I was crying my eyes out the first time I saw Tarantino’s movie in the cinema.
Exactly. I cried. I love Tarantino films, but none of his other films made me really emotional like that.
27:30 I remember going to see this movie a second time with some friends, none of which had seen it yet and I briefly told them about the Sharon Tate murders, then when the movie flashes forward a couple months and we see pregnant Sharon Tate one of my friends turned to me with a look of horror and said 'oh god she was pregnant, I'm not gonna be able to watch this' and that look of horror stayed on their face the remainder of the movie (meanwhile I was holding back laughter); it made it all the more satisfying when he and everyone else burst out laughing when the ending happens, definitely gonna go down as one of my favourite cinema experiences ever.
Absolutely, one of the best things I've seen at the theater ever...the ending lifted it up so high you left the theater smiling. Truly a heartfelt film by QT.
Yeah... In real life she begged for the life of her baby before they stabbed her to death
U didnt mention that she was pregnant while being stabbed?
@@vamsidocs5137 it was more so that upon actually seeing her pregnant that the weight of it all set in for him.
The best way to react to the end of the movie is, Its a love letter to everyone that thinks of what they would have done to the Manson's for the murder of Sharon Tate, Just a way to let go and enjoy the bad guys suffering vs. what happened irl with them getting away with it.
Amen, brother.
A shame Manson’s died before he could see this film
@@dgrmn12345 He and his entire cult deserve worse. The fact many of his cult members are still alive is downright evil and wrong. They all should have been put to death years ago.
alucard624 true. I would love nothing more than to have, or better yet see, them killed.
But i consider that a mercy. Imagine a living lifetime of mockery. Seeing their fictional selves and names on screen made into incompetent fools and idiots. To have their names mocked and laughed at and see their lives made into a joke.
These hippie fucks live in an idea. Satirizing it destroys that idea. And seeing their fictional selves made onto the fools we see them as would be torture for the ages. And when they die, let them hear our laughs till they finally meet their maker who will no doubt laugh at them too.
Now aint that poetic justice to the pathetic fools they are?
The dead don't suffer
the Death Sentence is a mercy, a promised end to an incarceration.
i'd rather let them rot living, eat shit slop that's been spit in by the prison chefs and wish better that they'll never get; only being denied every human decency they trampled on.
fuck it, when the technology gets there; make 'em immortal, let them see out their multiple Life sentences with lifetimes worth of imprisonment.
heaven and hell is a question-
but while they're here, we can make damn sure they pay what they owe.
"Don't cry in front of the Mexicans"
I’m Mexican and I agree 🤷🏽♂️
"that girl that ran" and left the rest of the cult at the end is Maya Hawke, Uma Thurmans daughter btw
Also known as Robin from Stranger Things
Is Ethan Hawke a joke to you?
And the girl who sold the acid cigarette to Brad played Uma's daughter in Kill Bill.
Just a few interesting facts for you guys:
George Spahn was a real guy and he did allow the Manson family to live on the land.
The people you see attacking Brad and Leo were the four who actually killed Sharon Tate and everyone else who was in the house that night. The girl who was shown to have fled was Linda Kasabian... and she did not flee in real life. She was outside the house standing by the car because she did not have the stomach to go through with the murders... and so they had her ready at the car for their escape. She would later testify against the other killers.
Tex actually said that bit about the Devil's Business in real life.
LANCER was a real TV show.
Bruce Lee actually did train Sharon Tate in the martial arts moves she made in that movie.
I took my dad to this movie. He was alive during the Manson murders. He saw the actual new reports and he told me that he always thought Sharon Tate was just a Hollywood elite who was rich and married a rich director. This movie made him see what a kind and free spirit she was and it changed his entire opinion of her. I think that’s what Tarantino wanted to show. I also think he wanted to show what should’ve happened. He brutally murdered the murders on screen because you can tell this story is heartbreaking to him, especially since he loves classic Hollywood. The thing that brings a tear to me eye is when Sharon Tate come on over the speaker and asks if everyone is okay. To know what actually happened to her and then to hear her ask that question is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen and felt in a movie. Tarantino is such an amazing Director and writer.
Also, the thing with Bruce Lee, like I said, Tarantino loves, knows and studies Hollywood from this time period. I’m sure he knows something about Bruce Lee that we don’t know. His family and others got really pissed about this scene but maybe he was someone who kinda talked high about himself but later in the film, it also shows him helping actors and getting along with them. Also that scene needs to set up that Cliff Booth can go toe to toe with Bruce Lee and explains his epic combat skills against the murders.
A lot of fighters get labeled as being rude/asses/aggressive when doing day to day activity’s because the violence that’s seen during their fights is then projected onto regular things mostly by others once the match has ended. (The role/character of the fighter when on tv is different then their actual day to day life, to say that the character is the personality is misrepresentation.)
Bruce lee was an astounding person, both in cinema history and with martial arts regarded as one of the most understanding people to work with and know as he was always very gentle with how he would approach fight scenes (never actually fighting them to hurt them always being careful of where his punches land/how forceful/if contact was made at all.) (he was always very sweet to people and always tried to be accommodating even in a time period where he would have been treated significantly different because of the fact that he was Asian in a very racist America)
martial arts isn’t like mma there’s a lot of it that is for show there’s parts that are absolutely theatrical components compared to practical. You can look at any martial arts tournaments of this era and watch particularly weapon demos - most movements are choreographed as steps/motions to show off you know how to do the skill it’s not a system of movements you would do actually in combat.
There parts of martial arts where combat/1v1fighting and sparring is the intention and knocking your opponent down or scoring a point is the goal. If someone’s trained for over 8 years at a sport ya they’re gonna be recognized as good at it and they’re probably gonna have some weight/knowledge on how to deliver those punches/kicks.
The style of fighting is exactly a style not stuff to use in a street fight for most people. Which is why the joke of him losing a street fight against this ‘stuntman’ is so funny. He’s a proclaimed champion who’s overconfident - something people expect of fighters/champions; when he’s not in a ring/on a camera his fighting/acting is useless when practicality and street knowledge are what’s really being compared. The absolute truth and reality is that Bruce lee would have been able to snap the man like a twig but this is a fairytale where this stunt man is goated and the character Bruce lee can be a loser. It’s not an accurate depiction because that ruins the movies illusion of being a fairytale where reality is suspended. Bruce lee in this scene is only an actor he’s reduced down to being a portrayal of shitty-king-fu guys who act tough then get tko-ed.
It’s considered rude because it takes any fighter and equates them to being an abuser/wife beater type when they might be focused on the sport the match then get to relax and switch out of that mode. It’s the assumption that fighters don’t ever stop fighting and are always combative.
The other issue is it imply a doping. When the fighter is consistently aggressive in or out of the ring/hyper focused on working out it imply a they are using steroids/or an upper (meth/coke/mushrooms etc)
(It’s like all fighters are now seen as Mike Tyson or like The Rock, you can learn every single detail of their life history/autobiography on only know them through the videos of their fights: the perception of them only on screen is gonna be vastly different to their perceptions as regular people/daily life and tabloids that use both aspects of daily life/screen time affect the perception and understanding of their character as well to the public…
This Bruce lee depiction is like if you were to watch his badass movies only and then extrapolate a Bruce lee badass/no shits given/fight! Persona that almost mimics a Villian/ass.
So while the portrayal of Bruce lee’s character is done to suspend reality it also ruins the perception of him as a real life human being who behaved in a total 180 from his portrayal in the movie. If you’ve watched Bruce lee this depiction is both mind boggling and a little hysterical at how outlandish and ridiculous he is behaving - but again it’s character Bruce lee not Bruce lees autobiography in a fictional once upon a time story about the Manson murders who end up dying instead of committing the murder like they did in real life.
I liked that he wasn’t just actually Bruce lee because non of the characters depicting real/semi-real actors of that era are trying to portray accurate depictions of those people. It’s all fantasy. Bruce lee as a character can be made as ridiculous as possible and loose a fight in a wildly ridiculous way that he never would have because none of this story is real. If he was successful/real then the Manson murders should have been the same success/real/true to what actually happened in reality.
Actually, in regards to Bruce Lee, in real life he didn't have any respect for American stuntmen because they had rules against actual physical contact. Whereas Bruce believed in actually hitting the stuntmen to make it realistic. Tarantino was just representing that fact while simultaneously establishing that Cliff Booth could hold his own in a fight.
@@Cliffster420 he alway treated people respectfully even the stuntmen who he fought. His issue with American stuntmen is the same issue many athletes face when looking at faked performances. They can look at the faked stuff and know immediately how it’s faked why it’s fake and respond to that falsity saying it ruins the movies realism/ability to convey concepts accurately.
Christopher lee as an actor/stuntman performed ‘getting stabbed’ in lord of the rings as accurately as possible due to his real-world war experiences of seeing people stabbed to death. You don’t scream you gasp/inhale so that’s the performance that he gave because it’s accurate and that’s terrifying to people who Know for other it might seem underperformed but it’s accurate and that’s what makes the performance more interesting then a goofy movie scream of pain/falling.
Any pro fighter can watch a movie and go ‘damn none of these punch and kicks look good have power/speed/weight behind them and everyone’s doing flips crashing into things or screaming but it’s as real as a wwe match and not an actual way an actual fighter of xxxx description would fight.’ So many fighters and many stuntmen agree that sometimes for the best most accurate shot you need to actually take/do the hit.
The reason why Americans usually don’t take the hit is because medical expensive may equate to an entire paycheck so going the extra mile for the work to look good isn’t worth it is you’re essentially not paid enough to even get a meal afterwards. It’s why stuntmen like ‘daredevils’ / ‘jackass’ need to have really over the top performances that draw in insane crowds because a chunck of their earnings goes towards healing time/hours where your in a cast/bed ridden and can’t make financial income so the performance where your injured NEEDS to make a lot of money on a limited budget and why it’s usually considered ‘carney’ or kitschy
Yes, I suspect that Tarantino did know a lot about Bruce Lee. Many people don’t realize that Jay Sebring was the reason why Bruce Lee got his first break. He recommended Bruce for the part of Keto. Bruce Lee was Jay Sebring’s friend. I suspect that Bruce would have been touched by a movie that allowed his friend to “live” again!! I just doubt he would have been offended.
The ending is one of the most cathartic endings I've ever watched.
Well put. I found the film terribly boring ─ and I can enjoy a film like _Koyaanisqatsi._ But the ending was exactly as you say. . . _cathartic._
The Manson murders had always been something that saddened and haunted me. This is a great twist on that.
it is kinda sad, that these good person was just murdered
@D Leo yeah it was a weak point for Tarantino, but it has its moments, mostly visually though... What happened to the master storyteller?
T Mac sorry what?! The LOTR trilogy is incredible! I just don’t think you particularly even like movies
Love the movie, the performances, the cinematography, dialogue, I loved every minute
You guys gotta do Parasite at some point, a literal masterpiece can’t recommend it to everyone enough
Indub I thought the same thing💜
T Mac your so wrong, the Academy is known for belittling great foreign films. Parasite is the first non-English film to win Best Picture. The movie is almost if not the perfect film imo, can’t you just appreciate great filmmaking and cinema?
T Mac then what movie out of the other nominees should have won? I really can’t thing of more deserving film then Parasite and I’ve seen every other contending film in 2019.
Na Hong jin is the most underrated director of all time hopefully bong Joon ho will shine a light on South Korean cinema and show the world what they've been missing

Surprising people is really hard and used to happen in like 60s to 80s and rarely in this decade
And you know you're good when u can surprise audiences from any generation in any given time especially this one
This movie has one of the best endings I have ever seen.
Going into this movie without knowing everything about the Sharon Tate murders is a *huge* mistake. Knowing who was involved, when it happened, where it happened, and just how horrific it all was is the key to enjoying this film.
Half the tension throughout the movie is the build towards the murders and whether or not they happen, if Tarantino is going to show it.
Knowing that the first person they killed was a stuntman at their ranch vastly ramps up the scene where Pitt is there.
The end scene is built on the audience already hating these murderers and seeing Brad Pitt's character shit all over the "mystique" around them.
Going into this movie cold fundamentally ruins it.
It doesn’t ruin the movie at all going in cold, if anything it enhances it. You don’t need to know the history or back story to feel the suspense, you can feel it because that’s what Tarantino does best.
I disagree. I didn't know anything and could pick up on the suspense and film technique of the movie. I did think it wasn't dialogued as Tarantino's other films (except the western filming scene). I also didn't get why Margot Robbie was in the movie, so respect for Sharon Tate wasn't there.
Overall it still wasn't one of his best films.
@@amanilee7708 The whole film was basically an excuse for Tarantino to live out a what if scenario in regards to preventing Sharon Tate from being murdered and killing the Manson cult members like they deserved.
@@alucard624 I know. I am saying I didn't appreciate the tribute to Sharon Tate at the time I saw the movie.
I find it hard that anybody could not know the history of Charles Manson and the Tate Murders. Maybe it's because I'm old.
I got quite a tear in my eye when Sharon invites Rick up to meet her & her friends 🥹
I wasn’t expecting this but I’m happy you guys did this! This is my personal favorite Movie of 2019 so I’m excited to hear your guys thoughts on it.
THIS MOVIE SITS WITH YOU - in a couple of days ull realise how good it really is
I thought it was only ok the first time I watched it. I thought it was damn good the second time. The third time I thought it was easily in the top three movies of last year. It gets better every time you watch it. It's one of Tarantino's most mature movies and it twists in and out of genres throughout the movie. It's a drama, comedy, thriller, buddy comedy, period and hangout movie etc. all wrapped into one. It reminds me of the Big Lebowski and over the years I think this movie will have the same effect on people. It's going to just get better.
@D Leo Best movie I've seen in many years.
I have a major issue with the end of the film, which is the coincidental nature of it all. They just happen to decide to go into the neighbor's house first, which just happens to be where Brad Pitt is, who just happens to have been at the Ranch earlier. There's too much "just happens" for my taste.
Had Pitt encountered them outside while he was wasted and walking the dog, and they recognized him (even if he didn't recognize them), and they think, "Oh, shit, this guy knows who we are. He's seen us. We better take him out first." That would be one thing. Instead it, "Let's kill the people who taught us to kill." Bitch please, Rick Dalton didn't teach you how to kill. Charles Manson did that. Want to kill the one responsible, turn around and go back where you came from.
The end is entertaining as all hell, but it has no logic. IMO, it's Tarantino's worst screenplay.
@@Windupchronic Well, they didn't just happen to decide, Leo read them the riot act and THAT is what brought the subject up of killing actors....the fact that Brad was there was ONE coincidence...how many other coincidences did you see? They lived next door for heaven's sake. The Manson crew were totally screwed up on drugs when they committed the crime (in real life) so their bizarre logic made perfect sense to me. And Brad taking it out on them was not only revenge for Tate, it was revenge for the stuntman Manson killed at Spahn Ranch for which he was sentenced to 99 years. It couldn't have been more perfect for me.
Agreed so much! I enjoyed it after seeing it the first time, then I couldn't stop thinking about it and threw it on again a few days later. Definitely one of my favorite of the year. One of my favorite Tarantino movies of all time. Granted, I do have a deep appreciation of 60's Hollywood and music. My parents were in their 20's in the 60's, so I grew up with a lot of that music, although I was born in the 80's.
Yeah the entire film is fictional/alternate history.
Like Inglorious Basterds.
So is every film. Nonfictional films are called documentaries
23:12 The guy who plays Charles Manson from Mind Hunter is the same Actor who plays Charles Manson in this movie
Could've used some more of David Herriman as Manson in the movie, my only gripe. He was great in Mindhunter, Quarry and Perpetual Grace LTD.
@@Ricvictors Thank you, I didn't know that. Didn't feel like there was much Roman Polanski though either tbh
:o
I’ve never been a movie made in the 1960s. However, I loved this movie. It’s so nostalgic. I felt like I was immersed in this time period, with these characters. Rick and Cliff have great chemistry. Sharon made the film until happy and joyful. All the acting was great, and I would shocked and laughing out loud at the scene where they broke into Rick’s house. It was obviously overkill, but I honestly just thought about what those people did in real life. The ending was the cherry on top.
Leonardo DiCaprio was fucking incredible in this movie. Probably his best, most committed performance ever.
While he was great in this movie, it doesn't hold a candle to him in the revenant or django
One of my favourite little trivia tidbits about this film is that apparently QT tried to tell Brad Pitt how to take his shirt off on the roof, and someone else in the crew was like “No. You don’t tell Brad Pitt how to take off a shirt. He shows YOU how to take off a shirt.”
Inglourious Basterds is my top Quentin Tarantino movie, though I love all of his movies. One thing I don't understand is why so many people are harsh critics about Django Unchained- I mean, that's how the times WERE back then, seriously, I think there are just some people that should just watch PG-13 movies for their own sensibilities. Anyway, thanks guys for reacting to one of my favorite movies of the year. Also, check out Parasite, 1917 and The Irishman
Honestly the only reactions i heard against it was all the idiots crying about the language
@@lonely_crash2059 That's exactly what I mean, and people saying it's racist when that's what a lot of people WERE back then, it's like DUUUUH!!!
Honestly. Like, Tarantino is the least racist guy that could easily be considered racist. Like Samuel L Jackson said, almost every Tarantino movie that SLJ has starred in, his character has been the wittiest and smartest in the movie. A racist couldn't do that
Who is saying that it's racist? I remember when it came out and it had some critics, but I haven't much since then. It's my favorite Tarantino movie and one of my favorite movies of the last decade.
@D Leo what? Why?
I thought it was only ok the first time I watched it. I thought it was damn good the second time. The third time I thought it was easily in the top three movies of last year.

I've watched this movie like 10 times and everytime the ending makes me cry. Every. Time. This movie has become one of my favorites of all time. It's even got me to look at 1960s movies, TV and music and made me love and appreciate this point and time.
Yes, same here, and same with my daughter. It was so moving. I've seen the film 7 times lol
@D Leo No the worst is grind house
This movie is a goddam experience. That ending is probably one of my favorite moments I’ve experienced in a theater. I want to watch this again with people who don’t know anything about it
Now we need to get you guys to watch Parasite.
That would be amazing, I went into that movie thinking it was a comedy, I definitely got a surprise.
Chokwe just cause that’s how you watch things doesn’t mean that how they’re gonna watch it
@Chokwe Because they need to provide a reaction in addition to just watching a movie. Reading subtitles makes their jobs harder. However, they did recently react to raid redemption but that was mostly just for the fight scenes where you don't have to pay attention to dialogue. That said, id still love for them to watch parasite.
Parasite is worth them taking the time to read subtitles. It’s just too good
It would be cool if they at least did a review of the movie, I just want them to watch it. It was amazing.
Wasn't expecting this, dope! I hope you guys react to "Knives out" and "1917" (I just saw it a few days ago and it blew me away. It'll come out on digital and stuff next month).
If they're gonna watch 1917, it should be in theaters, not here. That movie was MADE for a theatrical experience.
Knives Out won its poll slot, and should be on TH-cam in two weeks.
@@FaultyHammock8791 YES!!!
@@CrimsonCharan That's true but then we wouldn't get a reaction to it hehe. Also I don't know if the movie is still playing in theaters over there (it just came out on my country but I thought it was released in the U.S. a while ago).
@@FaultyHammock8791 hell yeah!
“The whole movie set you up for not that.”
Eric that was the perfect way to explain that ending. But I do LOVE this movie. One of my favorite parts is when they show Cliff driving and just listening to music. Reminds me of when I’m driving in GTA.
Also, in terms of what Shane said about people being offended by how Bruce Lee was used, it was actually his daughter that came out and said how unhappy she and their family was with how he was portrayed. Apparently he wasn’t cocky like that at all.
Honestly that ending scene was the best thing I've seen in a newer movies in a long time anyone who knows anything understands that when you punch a pitbull in the head he's only gonna bite down harder
Man I literally couldn’t breathe in the last scene. That shit was funny af. The funniest part is that the whole movie just sets you up for it and it’s fucking worth it 😂
The actor who portrayed director Sam Wanamaker is Nicholas Hammond from "The Sound of Music" and the Spider-man series from the late 1970s.
Quentin actually considers this his 9th movie, Because he considers both Kill Bills one movie.
Wait...unless you count Death Proof, then he has only 8 films if Kill Bill is 2 movies. I'm pretty sure Quentin doesn't count that, he said so himself.
Black Toad I’ve always heard kill bill is one movie. I think Tarantino had a cut of the whole thing called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. And Death Proof I’m pretty sure is one of his movies that he counts.
@@PyrofreakStudios Yeah I did some research and he considers Death Proof one of his films, but it's his least favorite though.
@@aayushdhurka2425 Technically if he decides to make vol.3, it will complete kill bill as one whole movie.
@@patrickdmuzangi9639 Right
I loved the part in the movie where Brad and leonardo are watching the episode on the couch and talk as it's going on. It reminded me of mystery science theater 3000.
The whole movie was alternate reality of course, not only the ending.

You guy's should react to Jojo Rabbit
Andres Ponce just saw that today. What a movie!
Yes please!!!!
No
Omg I didn't expect this. Great reaction! This movie is so filled with references to that time of period, to pop culture, to Tarantino's filmography and to cinema in general that is nearly impossible to catch every one of the references in the first viewing. And that ending... damn... one of my best experiences in a theatre. DiCaprio was so good in this, he definitely excels when working with Tarantino, good ol' Quentin is such a great actors director.
One of the little inside jokes I liked here was Zoë Bell and Kurt Russell beign a couple. Because, well... Zoë Bell is a great stuntwoman that have worked with Tarantino many times (she was the double of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill and also an actress/stunt in Death Proof and The Hateful Eight) and Kurt Russell played 'Stuntman Mike' on Death Proof... so it was funny to see them here playing a couple of stunt coordinators. There's lots of references like this one on this movie, Captain America would go crazy.
This movie was phenomenal but I think that the dread you feel bubbling in the back of your mind is an important element. I kept hoping Tarentino would play down Tate's murder and was even scared for that part to come. I was absolutely stunned and relieved and excited by the change in history and it is just awesome that he rewrote history for her and her baby and friends, for us to imagine them alive, even for a moment. This was an incredible work of art to me, and everyone outdid themselves.
Alright, you guys need to watch:
- The Raid 2
- Ready Or Not
- Bad Genius
- Parasite (or any other Bong Joon-Ho film)
- Train to Busan
Kenneth Lee I would add knives out to this list too
Haven’t been this excited about a TH-cam notification in a long time
17:47 I cried laughing when the guy calmly asks “ what the hell is happening?” while she gets burnt to a crisp lmfao
eric over did it nobody reacts that way i know i didn't!
It's one of the most satisfying endings to a movie I have ever seen
@D Leo is your iq 12?
@@chief_mourner it's an ending where in real life, those people violently murdered 4 people including an actress and her unborn baby because they lived in a fucking house that someone else used to live in. Watching those cunts die was phenomenal.
Last 30-35 mins of this film are absolutely bonkers. I loved that ending.
The scene early in the movie where he says "I'm just one pool party away" is key
No shit! Damn. I didn't get that!
You son of a gun haha. Well done
15:50 Anyone else notice that “Flower Girl” was Maya Hawke, aka Robin from Stranger Things and Uma Thurman’s daughter?
I do!
I did. Plus the actor who played Steve McQueen is Damian Lewis, who was in homeland and band of brothers.
I think she’s playing Linda Kasabian
also, Ethan's daughter...who i believe is the better actor of that family by far..
The woman playing Sharon Tate in that movie -- was Sharon Tate. Tarantino intentionally left her unchanged.
My heart rate went up when I saw this
This movie was one of the best cinema experiences I've ever had.
Eric hasn't laughed this hard since Beebo.
Oh hell yeah!! I never expected you guys to react to this but I'm glad you are!! I guess I'll comment again after I'm done with this video 🤘😁
I honestly cried as soon as Sharon Tate started speaking after the point where she was actually murdered in real life. He gave Sharon a fairy tale ending, an ending she deserved. But I think it was the perfect touch to have her not physically appear and only hear her disembodied voice via the speaker. It's like getting to hear her speaking from beyond the grave and letting us imagine that she's okay and she made it. It's touching.
I watch the movie over and over...and that scene always tears me up. With her Don Mattingly jersey (she was from Texas).
That last scene is so touching…it’s what everyone wishes would have happened.
Yes in real life the girl in the car did run away with the car. He put a lot of details in this film that were totally factual he just flipped the conclusion to one that fit his narrative. Fun fact, the run away girl is the actress from stranger things and is the daughter of kill bill / pulp fiction star Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke so that was a little nod to his past films too.
no, she was told to wait in the car. she thought about fleeing, but feared for her baby back at the ranch. so she got out to go inside and try and stop it and that’s when some victims came outside to get away and were killed in front of her. she tried to pretend like she heard people coming to get the others to stop and flee
It's not just about Hollywood at that time, it's about our culture was like back then. We shared music, t.v., films with all Americans. There was a common connection with everything, not like now.
Fun fact: Sam Wanamaker (the director at 4:38) is played by Nicholas Hammond, best known as the first live action Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
George was originally supposed to be played by Burt Reynolds, but since he died they gave the part to Bruce Dern.
I've seen this 3 times now. In my opinion, not a moment too long.
when Brad pit goes back to the house to work on the roof I spotted the flamethrower in the garage on my first watch after that I was just waiting for it to come back into the movie
“Perpetrators? They were a bunch of hippy assholes.” Always makes me laugh for some reason it’s just a great line
That's what a fairytale is taking usually a tragic story and making them into something amazing
This was his 10th until he said Kill Bill vols 1 & 2 counted as one film. This will be his 9th until he decides Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs are two parts to one film...
Ser Friend Technically speaking this was also supposed to be his ninth, since the movie The Hateful Eight is called like this also because of the meta fact that it was his Eighth film. I guess his next movie will be his last - unless he pulls something else. I just hope he makes it in time to win an Oscar for directing, he never has which is ridiculous
Peter Sanders he should’ve won for this movie. I haven’t seen Parasite, I’m sure it’s brilliant and I’m sure Bong Joon Ho deserved it, but man this was the perfect film for Quentin to finally win. I thought it was the best directing of his career.
I like how after the flame thrower she's burnt to a crisp but still has perfect hair
Nice job one of the best reactions so far and I've seen a lot. I loved this movie so much. Thank you so much you know I had to subscribe to your Channel
Rick Dalton, the actor, gets into the fake danger (rehearsing his lines shooting a movie at a ranch)
Cliff Booth, the stunt double, gets himself into real danger (Spahn ranch scene)
Pure cinematic genius
The whole point of the film is to show the innocence of the time period (50’s, early 60s) and to show this imminent darkness lurking in the background. That coincides with the television and film content changing and leaving Rick behind as well. The 50s/60s were filled with innocent cowboy shows and movies. But with the 70s, coinciding with Sharon Tate murders, the content changed to dark and violent films like taxi driver and Dirty Harry, and gritty cop tv shows. Actors were no longer clean looking cow boy types but grungy method actors.
Tarantino’s movie takes this changing of eras and flips it on its ear and even changes history so the innocence of the period can live on within his own connected universe.
Gunna say not one to watch reaction videos but I love these guys and all their different takes on any given topic they discuss (topics I find very interesting as well). Especially now when we are all held up inside it makes you feel like you have a group to tap in and socialize with.
The guy that Manson was looking for was terry melcher, who was Doris day’s son and managed the beach boys.
Honestly one of the reactions that are not known but one of my faves. One of the best great job my guys x
The best dog-feeding scene of all time.
On the real, and I think a lot of folks have the same reaction: I loved it the first time I saw it but it left me with a weird nagging feeling, and then I **LOVED** it the second time through. Dunno why.
the flamethrower was in a really breif scene when rick left his shed, so the moment he climbed out the pool i was LIKE "HANS GET ZE FLAMMENWERFER" ;D
I only found out about what happened to Sharon Tate long after watching the movie (I did feel weird seeing Tate got so many meandering scenes), but when I saw the ending, I was really REALLY happy Cliff and everyone in the Polanski house are alright, because Cliff and Sharon are such sincere characters. Even Rick seemed to start 'evolving' as a person that night. I love it. Love this movie!
I have studied Sharon Tate for over 30 years. So much wonderful information about her and so many incredibly beautiful photos of her. Her sister Debra, and many other people have graciously shared their memories of her. This movie was so great, but I felt sad after I saw it; know what really happened “ in the end”…
This is my favorite Blind Wave réaction of all time!
What I find funny about Leonardo DiCaprio in this role is that his parents were hippies and he grew up in counterculture
I love seeing Rick genuinely laugh. It happed so rarely but when it happens it’s awesome
This film gets better everytime you watch it
These movies are going to be timeless pieces to capture moments in history that we will eventually lose. The idea of the golden age of Hollywood and the events that led to the death of a beloved innocent rising star being altered for optimum wish fullfiment by a director who loves moviemaking so much. We're never going to get back Hollywood in the 60s, or the Summer of Love 1969; I'm glad these movies exist for future generations who might forget about them.
The absolute best reaction of all time!!
"I've been looking forward to this"
Everytime I rewatch this movie it gets 3 times better, I don’t know how Tarantino does it.
This so far is my favorite blind wave movie reaction! I seriously can't keep a straight face watching Aaron crack up haha this was 10/10 great stuff!!
17:43 The reaction to the flame thrower is so hilarious!! Hahaha
For a bit of background the book "Helter Skelter" written by Vincent Bugliosi. He was the lawyer who lead the prosecution in the Tate-LaBianca murders, it's a great read.
I love this movie so much. And if you know the details of the Manson murders you know that those clan members deserve all that violence that happens to them at the end of this movie.
One of my Favourite Tarantino Movies! Thanks for the upload!
A lot of people are talking about the Sharon Tate stuff, and it definitely plays an important part, but it's also a great buddy movie. Rick and Cliff's friendship is so pure and real, with both of them looking out for the other in different ways.
Also, I couldn't help but chuckle a little at Eric's realization that Bruce was in The Green Hornet as Kato, especially as he's dressed for the part in the scene.
"Well the F*CKING hippies arent... Thats for sure". I cried laughing
I'm really loving Tarantino's alternate universe. I wonder what other history he could rewrite...
The movie was very hard to get without growing up during all the actual events. The news of Sharon Tate was covered heavily, as were the Manson family back then. It was one of the most horrific things anyone have any heard of up to that point. In an upscale neighborhood, where people had a false sense of security. Knowing who Tex was, and what he, and his clan did to them at the time it happened made understanding the movie critical. Also the murder rumor that Clif was surrounded by, was a nod to Natalie Woods death. Where her husband actor Robert Wagnor was under suspicion for his whole life. That's why knowing all the historical facts were crucial. The altered outcome of those events made the movie more satisfying. Because Tarrentinos ending is what everyone, who were alive then, would have loved to have really happened
They actually show the flame thrower in the shed earlier, setting up the scene
Nailed it about the flamethrower scene. What makes the joke so good is that he has no context, just takes out a flamethrower.
This movie is ART. Capital letters. It creates emotions. It has suspense, it has warmth, it has craziness, and it has nostalgia. How. How can I feel nostalgia when I was born in the 90s. I mean, what the hell.
European here, was 7 at the time of the Manson murders, I LOVE the ending.
I'm so glad you mentioned the sound design. I thought this movie should have won the Oscars for sound editing & mixing. Earlier in the review you said you felt like YOU were the camera. I think the sound design was a huge part of that... Great reaction, guys.
