TheDoubleDinger it’s not that at all it’s probably because it left a lot of people confused as young audiences will have no idea what is being referenced here. The Manson family murders isn’t something well known around the world for people 20-30 going to watch the movies. But probably will be understood well by the academy who like Quentin have grown up and knew the context of all the details. Bradd Pitt said himself “references we can’t all appreciate but are definitely there”
I’ve watched this movie around 40 times, I’m not exaggerating at all. I feel engulfed in late 60’s Hollywood life. All the old references, color grading, music, everything about it made me feel like I was living in that era.
Period pieces like this are so difficult to make. & I bet anything, you can search this movie with a fine tooth comb & you wouldn't see any background mistakes. Another brilliant movie by Q.
Bro i've legit watched it that many times too. It's become one of those "put it on as i go to sleep" type nightly flicks. I'm so engulfed in that time too. The feeling of LA that summer must have been electric.
I TOTALLY get why some people really didn't "get" this movie, but I for one instantly fell in love with this and have seen it many times since its release and it's become possibly my favourite Tarantino movie. A real immersive experience, deep into everyday "celebrity" life in 1969 Los Angeles - a world that I didn't want to leave at the end of the movie. It shows the good and the bad of Hollywood culture, the rise and fall of popularity. It's hilariously funny yet has this melancholy running through it that just leaves you feeling a little bit sad for a lost era and thinking "what could have been?" Absolutely incredible. I could and probably will watch this over and over again and not get tired of it. Hope it does really well at the Academy Awards because it deserves to.
I just said something very similar in my comment. I understand why some viewers didn't enjoy it as much as some of his other films. But for me personally, other than possibly Reservoir Dogs and the Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is my favorite work that Tarantino has ever done.
I didn’t like it I’ll be honest , the movie it felt like 3 hours of background noise build up for the last 10 minutes runtime of the movie payoff . That last 10-20 mins of the film felt more like classic QT movies . I get it though not every movies for everyone. Guess this one wasn’t for me .
@@zaedenuk to each his own. My least favorite Tarantino films are the two Kill Bill films, and I'm sure you would personally disagree with that. I favor the more talky, "drawn out" films like Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time. For me, his true strong suit is dialogue. The hyper stylized action heavy stuff is just some darkly humorous icing on the cake, that complements the buildup of superb dialogue. But yes, Once Upon a Time was very unique within his filmography. The plot was especially non conventional. But it still had a lot to say, and personally, I loved it!
And I lived it! 22 yrs young! I moved to Hollywood in late 1968. My apt was walking distance to the boulevard. I loved living it, and now seeing "it" in a movie. Cool 😎
Same. I have such good memories watching this movie. When I watched it for the first time in theaters I was definitely not sober and feeling great 😂 needless to say it BLEW my mind with how good it was. It’s right up my alley because 1969 is my favorite year in movies, music, and culture. I saw it 3 more times when it was in theaters and have watched it countless times after that. It’s so well directed, star studded, the soundtrack is brilliant, the cinematography is unmatched. My personal favorite Tarantino movie.
@Diego Pisfil two very different movies, both great and I won't mind if either of them gets an Oscar. In fact, all the nominated movies this year are pretty good. 2019 was a good year for movies. But considering Parasite is also nominated for the best foreign movie, I don't see it winning the main award.
This is one of those movies that you know will become better as the years pass. It's the kind of movie that are very rare nowadays. A true classic. Thank you Tarantino!
Saw this movie in the middle of the summer of 2019 by myself. Didn’t have AC in my house, middle of a heat wave. I just got up, hopped on my motorcycle and bought a ticket. 50% of my motivation was to sit in the AC for a few hours. Ended up being one of the best movies I ever saw. Would loved to have lived in SoCal in the 60s.
This movie took me on a wild, emotional ride. It was suspenseful, laugh out loud funny, then left me with such a sad feeling, at the end of the movie, that haunted me for several days. Once upon a time they all lived happily ever after. If only.
That sad feeling washed over me as well at that crucial scene in the movie. Especially with the Vanilla Fudge song playing in the background "you just keep me hanging on"---the introduction in the song created that eerie feeling of something about to happen. If only. I wonder who picked this song for that scene--genius idea.
I found one of the last scenes where Leo is asking Brad if he wants him to go with him to the Hospital -when Brad is in the Ambulance -to be a really sad-nostalgic-sentimental scene. Because Brad is all alone and no-one to go with him. I personally have had to go in Ambulances when I've been hurt and it's very frightening. You just really DO want someone to hold your hand and be with you. Obviously, Brad is okay but it's just really sad to me. Leo truly cares for him though and does offer to go which is pure gold ~ Love this Movie 😎💕💝 ~
Since Quentin wants to do only 10 movies and only one is left , I really wish somehow this was his last , this was a true masterpiece and I don't think ppl will ever get bored watching it again and again , especially as it is considered a love letter from him to Cinema, I'm afraid it will be so hard to top this one .
It's funny this was talked about when Quentin was on the Joe Rogan podcast, it sounds like Quentin pretty much agrees with what you're saying, that this movie was kind of his "end of career masterpiece" even though he wants to do another film
To me, this movie was a double bonus because it took me back to all the good and bad of working in Hollywood. I spent 12 years there, and enjoyed my time in the business, and the movie really captures....IT ALL! Driving around Hollywood. Driving around the Valley, being at the studios and around that environment. Running into older legends that still had such a presence, even in person, even if you just bump into them at somewhere like Solley's - you always knew when some older dude was at a table with cheesy looking dark sunglasses on - the challenge was guessing exactly who it was, until their friend arrived to meet them for lunch, and it was A-haaa! The feeling of being a young, up-and-coming - sneaking into the movies to watch your own scenes! Such a joy, those experiences of still being young and fresh. For ever person you meet on their way up, there's another on their way down - and either falling apart or holding steady, holding on to connections and working it to hustle up some new gig doing this or that. People just moving, moving, moving all the time! I couldn't be futher away from all of that now, but it really makes me miss the good part of the cultture of it. All the exciting energy! Brad Pitt and Leo were just so perfect, and I really do understand why Sharon Tate's character was meant to be played the way she was. I don't really understand people who want to piss about how she didn't get enough of a part or whatever - she was there as long as she needed to be there, and it was perfect enough to show those innocent, blossoming moments when you're fresh and on the rise. I can remember feeling exactly the same way. :) This film will always be a treasure to me.
Agreed, all scenes with them together just like driving back from the meeting with al Pacino where they’re talking in the car about his career are dynamite! They just bounce off each other so well. I think Pitt edged it for the academy because of the coolness and effortless charisma however
I just watched this - not having seen the movie yet - and I'm glad I did. I moved to Hollywood (22 yr old neive woman from out of state) in Nov. 1968. I drove my 1967 Mustang convertible. I could walk to Hollywood Blvd. I could walk to Vine Street. I LIVED this era and it was 😎 Biggest story I could share: I worked with Tex Watson's cousin who looked just like him!!!! When a pic of Tex was in the Los Angeles Times I almost fell over.
He was a really sweet guy 💝. I always watched his Roger& Ebert Movie Review when I was growing up with my parents. He had an enthusiasm for movies that was truly infectious. Greatly missed tbs ~
This is a character study, structured in a more non-linear fashion than most other stuff you see today. Tarantino said that OATIH is the closest he's gotten to Pulp Fiction in terms of narrative design, and I can really only agree with him. There's nothing more refreshing than seeing a film where you can allow yourself to lean back and be enchanted by the setting, the cinematography and the acting, rather than constantly having to worry about whether you've missed an important plot point or not. This film makes it clear that it just ain't that type of movie. It's a hangout film with an extremely chill vibe in a pitch-perfect reimagining of 1960s Hollywood. If you're a 60s buff and/or dig the clothes, culture and music of that time, you'll love this movie.
@@grovermcdiarmid8109 Linear in what sense? We get to follow three individuals as they go about their days. There is literally no semblance of a narrative that intertwines these three stories. Sharon Tate and Rick Dalton only share one scene of dialogue in the entire movie. I'd say it's most certainly nonlinear in its structure as it gives us three separate stories that are almost completely unrelated to one another.
Although it has only three main characters, this film reminded me of Altman's "Nashville", it has this panoramic quality in certain scenes, or rather in how certain scenes play into each other's hands. It's probably the one Tarantino film that sometimes comes closest to the slice-of-life approach of other 1990s directors like Jarmusch or Linklater, it's more about environments than plot.
I watched this film in a theatre, the last few minutes was a laugh riot and the entire film was breezely entertaining and engrossing. Indeed it's slow, but no complaints cause its A tarantino film. This is his style.
It's very simple. If you are too young to remember the events in this film, nearly ALL of the references will go right over your head. Tarantino was born in 1963 and I was born in the "Summer of Love", 1967. So for us, we remember being knee high to the real people from that time and heard about all of the things referenced in the film when they happened or very soon after. Without "Being there" , Googling these events just isn't the same. Looking back on it, it was a magical moment in time that will never be again. He did a great job capturing the feeling of the time.
One of my favorite Quentin Tarantino films, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio's acting performances is fantastic! The directing, writing, and the style of the Hollywood set in 1969 is two thumbs up. Quentin Tarantino, You're the man!
The real sign of a great film is how well it holds up on repeated viewings. This one has actually gotten BETTER each time I’ve watched it and it has now risen up to the level of Pulp Fiction as the best movie Quentin has ever done.
@callmecatalyst I do agree, there is certain Tarantino films, you just get instantly..for Jackie Brown i was into it right away, but the Hateful eight, I've had to watch that film a good 5 or 6 times and then I was like yes good movie!
My uncle Paul was the Ventura County Coroner during the Manson murders, he showed my parents some of the case photos the first time I went there in 70/71. This movie reminds me of those trips down to L.A
It's one of his best in my book, too. This one and "Django Unchained". Django is more coherent in narrative, but it is costume film generic with a Tarantino twist. "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is panoramic and feels like its own genre while paying tribute to all kinds of genres that came before. It's daring!
I love 1969. It was such an amazing year full of events, not only in cinema also en music. It was the point of encounter of many rock bands that would soon disappear the following year (The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Janis Joplin etc) and of new bands that were just beginning (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, etc) Almost miraculously all those bands were making new albums in 1969. Also: Woodstock Festival, Apollo 11 moon landing, the protests for Vietnam War, among many other things.
As a Tarantino fan since the beginning, I can genuinely say that, other than maybe Reservoir Dogs and the Hateful Eight, this is my favorite work he's ever done. I totally get why some people may not like it quite as much, it being an unconventional plot, and slower paced than his other works. But personally, I was simply in a trance the entire time and the whole experience was awe-inspiring and magical for me. It's simply amazing. Especially being a fan of cinema and television dating back to the 30s, and also a history buff...the atmosphere was perfect, the details were spot on, and the jokes resonated more than they might for some less well-versed people. As much as some people criticized the plot, I thought it was one of the more powerful screenplays he's written. Different, yes. But full of social critique and satire. Extremely smart. The dichotomy between the open, free-loving, optimistic, giddy Sharon Tate relishing her every moment in Hollywood, and simply going about her happy life; and the aging, closed-minded, self-deprecating, self-loathing, pessimistic Rick Dalton struggling to find a place for himself....simply amazing. I've watched the movie numerous times. I'm about to purchase the movie so I can watch it as many times as I desire. This movie deserves some Academy Award wins. Hopefully it gets them!
not gonna lie to you the extended hateful 8 on netflix is 10 times better than the theatrical cut. just my opinion but i recommend watching it if you haven’t
That moment after the little girl tells Rick that was the best acting gets me every time...goosebumps and excitement for Rick. When he raises his gun and says "Rick fucking Dalton" i say it out loud with him every time.
It's a once in a lifetime treat . Not only do you get Quentin Tarantino writing and his vision but you get all of the best actors and human beings together talking with each other and about the project. Pitt, DiCaprio, Russell, Margot Robbie, Pacino, Hirsch, Fanning ,Perry, Bruce Dern for crying out loud. Rumor Willis Olyphant, the guy that plays Manson. Good lord, it goes on. Can you imagine Quentin Tarantino offering or asking you to play Charles Manson ? I would be like WTF ? Could that be a career killer or just the opposite. Julia Butters performance is off the charts. I was sitting in my living room 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. Clapping , applauding. I can't describe it and do her justice. She blew me away.
I was just captivated with this movie. I was blown away that he transported us back into that time, and I was curious about the behind scene details of how he did it, And It’s great that they allowed us to get a sneak peak behind the scenes and hear from the talented team members of what it took. Blown away!
Well, this is a very, Very excellent Tarantino work of Art . These are the milestones that all of the cinema is based on. No way other than to say it was a collaborative effort, and one that Brad Pitt truly shines in. All of the cast is perfect, . . . just perfect.
Loved this movie already but this made me appreciate so much more somehow. Just the incredible amount of detail involved, the music, sets, props, costumes alst while still being an amazing film that is highly engaging, haunting, funny and bittersweet. My pick for best picture.
The salute to the memory of George Spahn was cool, he passed away in 1974. And then they reference to Cliff murdering his wife, reminded me of Robert Wagner, and Natalie Wood. Loved the Pitbull.
Just love the mixture of Tarantino’s memory of the ‘60s, a celebration of cinema history and offering commentary on a tragedy. Nothing ever feels like a gimmick, because he has so much to say.
Ridge Cinema I thought the last ten minutes were super gimmicky and it actually made me dislike the film. I was feeling it up to that point. Then it got real silly and it contained some of the absolute worst acting I’ve ever seen. This film is toward the bottom third of his films. I still think Jackie Brown and Pulp are his best. Followed by Django and Basterds.
@@djstarsign gotta disagree i was expectin the movie to wrap up kinda poorly then out of nowhere all that shit goes down and it made me enjoy the movie even more and when i found out this one of one charles mansons murder but rewrittin, it made me enjoy it even more. A great film that from every one else in the comments seems to get even better the more u watch it
@@djstarsign The finale is a total tone breaker and stylistically jumps the shark, so I understand how IT can feel gimmicky at first. But ultimately, this film is about how Hollywood changed over time, production conditions, technology and techniques, formats and styles, tastes and trends and genres preferred: War movies, series, traditional Westerns, Italo-Westerns, European Arthouse, Kung-Fu flicks, etcetera. Like a historical chronic of Hollywood but in a magical realism way. Once upon a time... Like a fairytale it ends with the Manson murders never happening. But we know this is not real and it comes across eerie like something out of The Twilight Zone - another nod at a change in the audience's taste. The same can be said about the seemingly "gimmicky" shootout. The Manson murders symbolically marked the end of the Woodstock era and films like "Hair". After that it was punk and shock-rock, movies like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Night of the Living Dead" and the whole serial killer, slasher, splatter, gore and giallo genre type stuff. It makes sense that this is the style used to eradicate the Manson murders out of history - it makes it all the more ironic and surreal, stresses the contrafactual aspect, the parallel universe / twilight zone / fairy tale / dream logic side of it. Once upon a time... I love how the title ties both sides of the coin together: Chronic & Dreamland.
I wasn't sure about this movie the first time I saw it for whatever reason, but I watched it a second time and it grabbed me. I've since watched it at least a dozen times. It's almost a "comfort movie", one that I can put on, sink into and immerse myself in for a few hours. The performances, the production design, the music, the painstaking recreation of 1969 in Hollywood..... it's fantastic. Probably Tarantino's most "mature" movie, with a great buildup and a highly satisfying, redemptive conclusion. Love it. One of my favourite movies of all time.
Dalton messing up his lines while they're filming in the saloon, followed by Leo's improvised freak out in the trailer is one of the funnier scenes I've ever seen in any movie.. I absolutely died in the theater, and everytime I re watch it, that scene is just amazingly well acted and natural
Great video! We all remember America in Hollywood because we all grew up & lived in Movies & TV. There were no cell phones or computers. This was the beginning of bringing the whole country try & world together. 1969!!!!! We can all relate & FEEL it if from this era.
I am obsessed with this movie. Being transported back too a time and a Hollywood I remember so well. Love the buddy story that weaves a thread from beginning to the end. Pure joy. 💖
I LOVE how this film just transforms us back to a great time of Americana...while those days were wrought with craziness, growing up in those days were amazing. The colors, the music, the style, the cars, the TV shows, the simplicity of spending hours outside with your friends riding bikes, playing sports and just being a kid.
the first time i watched this movie i didn’t know how to feel but now after several viewings it’s one of my favorite qt films. it’s like a warm blanket for me. i could watch it anytime. i also really love the set design. makes me wish i could time travel to that era
One of the best movies ever and my fav movie of 2019 ❤️❤️❤️ i also bow to Quentin for including my fav Sharon Tate and giving her the respect and screen time she deserved and never got !! Finally she didn‘t get it in life but she‘d be happy to know that people love and remember her... and i love the music.. California Dreamin gets me emotional every time
I don’t care if people say this was Quentin’s worst movie, this movie is a FUCKING MASTERPIECE! Everything from the story, the music, the characters, the cinematography, and the set design, is just fantastic. Tarantino made a movie about how movies were made in Hollywood and the possibility of history being changed with The Manson Family getting what they deserved. Love this movie so so much❤️
One of Tarantino's best as it's a reflection of his own career as much as it is a portrait of Hollywood, its stories and characters. Rather than go through this epic story like many other Tarantino films, it slowed down and was very much a character study, along with historical elements. Love this movie.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE 💕💝💃🎵🌠🏆🏆🏆 really an achievement for this entire cast and crew to always be proud of. Tarantino wrote & directed a True Hollywood Classic.
I liked how they mentioned KHJ radio . Anyone who lived in So Cal during that time and through the 70's probably remembers that . It was on in my car all the time !
Cliff Booth has the best life of any movie character ever, and that's before seeing where he lives, that just tops it off. Sit on top of your trailer and watch a new movie, just perfect.
I love this movie, there as never been anything like it, I have now watched it 48 times, it will always without any doubt be my all time favourite film, I think it was made for me.
Its absolutely insane when i stop and start thinking, If cliff booth and rick Dalton existed they would stop the tragedy that happened to sharon tate, this movie its the best movie of all time.
I love this film for a lot of reasons. It's a beautifully crafted film in all respects. But for me, like Quentin, it was a time portal back to my childhood. I grew up in this place, with these kinds of people. My mother worked in the industry in bit roles. My Dad (they were divorced) dated women who were trying to make it in the industry. It was woven into the fabric of my life. When I heard "93 KHJ" my brain automatically answered..."Golden!!!" This is a film that I will watch at least once a year for the rest of my years.
The book store scene. That's Clu Gulager, noted character actor from the 60s - present. He starred in his own western TV shows around this time. That's also the ACTUAL Maltese Falcon from the original 1941 film (owned by Leo.) Another prime example of the different "levels" of Hollywood in one small scene.
It’s strange that this isn’t his final film. It’s his best imo, and obviously his most personal. If he plans on stopping at 10 then I’m curious why he didn’t wait to hold it off until the last. It’s so perfect for a swan song.
Indeed! Maybe we should be careful, appreciating it so much? :-) Maybe this whole movie is exploring QT's situation? Rick, after delivering his great scene, was hyper-aware of being a near-has-been, but for now, he's still got it - better than ever!! By the end, the evil threat (creepy crawling death) is defeated. It picked the wrong guy to mess with! ... And our hero's id resisted the entrapment of playing a younger man's game (jailbait poontang). So what next? That's the question the movie leaves us with. Interesting that QT gave Rick a new non-american wife. .... QT is primarily a writer, which fits his new family life. He is also a successful producer. Other people can direct his stuff no problem. eg. True Romance, Dusk Till Dawn, Natural Born Killers. (though maybe he didn't like them.) Like an actor letting his stunt-man take the fall. Imagine a new Tarantino script directed by a young Korean or Japanese director? Now that would be interesting! ... So he's out free and clear. Like Butch escaping the pawn shop. BUT ... the urge to go back in ....to do what needs to be done ...
Dont know why people hate on this picture. I loved it like most, if not all Tarantino pictures. Leo and Brad absolutely nailed it. Were amazing together. Kinda reminded me of Brad and Ed norton in FC, which I also love!
Loved watching this in the cinema. I'm 54 and remember the old movies and TV. Loved seeing Brad Pitt's character fight Bruce Lee and him kick that evil woman's arse. His violence isn't real, mostly.
I always have a soft spot for Los Angeles, having lived there for a number of years. Such an interesting city and this movie really celebrates everything that is special about LA.
This movie was so incredibly well made, that i wish to experience it again for the first time. The story, the cinematography, the soundtrack and most importantly, the acting, was just perfect. This movie is already a cult classic in my opinion.
I'm 28 and will never see a period in time like the 60s in my lifetime. This movie truly connected me to that period in america in a way nothing ever will besides maybe the beatles
I was alive when the Manson murders happened, so I had a sense of dread about the ending. I think that's exactly why it was SO rewarding to see the fantastic last part of this film! (don't want to be a spoiler) I rarely watch anything more than once, and have seen this several times.
This is my favourite Tarantino film and I love that he chose to portray Sharon Tate with a happy ending. Such a feel good film with immense lovable characters. Can't wait for his final film!
Tarantino worked so hard to get all the music right! He found the actual piano that was in the Sharon Tate house. The piano had been used by Mark Lindsay and Terry Melcher to write "Good Thing," one of the featured songs on the Grammy-nominated soundtrack.
From my perspective the best comment in this collections thereof, it this "my father cried at the end". This encapsulates my feeling of that period of time which "we" have lived and lost. Feel a great affinity to this guy who I don't know. 🙂😉
Best acting, best soundtrack, great summer movie! Now it's time for his 10th adventure, Once upon a time in New York! Starring George Clooney, during the great depression🤗🏙️
I saw it for the 1st time about 6 months ago, I knew little about it, I only heard that Tarantino was doing a film about Hollywood around the time of the Manson family murders. I purposely avoided reviews and spoilers of it. I sat down to watch it without high expectations because of the reality the incident was a real downer, I remember it all too well, followed the trial, read the books and interviews over the years. Coming back to reality after watching it, I really regretted not seeing it on the big screen. Such a beautifully shot movie, maybe his best ever. He pulled out all the tricks for each scene without it becoming artsy, seamlessly changing the lighting styles, camera perspectives, and rhythm/pacing, immersing each set into their own little mini movies. As usual in his films, the dialog was natural, the acting by everyone was superb, and the story takes unforeseen twists and turns.
Best movie of the year! I love Margot Robbie but I wish they would have picked a no-name actress to play Sharon Tate because all I can see is Margot Robbie in the movie. I'm not disappointed though...she was great.
I rarely go see a movie in the theatre twice. I went to see this four times, and have seen it at least a dozen times on TV since. I think “Pulp Fiction” will always be my favourite Tarantino movie, but this is a close second.
Don't get why people dislike this film. The music, outfits, humour and world class acting is just so wonderful to watch. It's an absolute masterpiece
I feel like a lot of the distaste that the movie garnered was from its portrayal of Bruce Lee. Overall a fantastic film though.
It's not paced or structured like a typical film either
TheDoubleDinger it’s not that at all it’s probably because it left a lot of people confused as young audiences will have no idea what is being referenced here. The Manson family murders isn’t something well known around the world for people 20-30 going to watch the movies. But probably will be understood well by the academy who like Quentin have grown up and knew the context of all the details. Bradd Pitt said himself “references we can’t all appreciate but are definitely there”
@@TheDoubleDinger The movie was touted as a comedy/ fantasy.
Imight Realperson just read the comments on posts about it
A subtle thing that DiCaprio did. Rick Dalton has a slight stutter when he’s not acting. When he’s acting... no stutter.
Not exactly subtle but yes, a good detail.
Like Bruce Willis
Was likely scripted.
As was said, it is not so subtle, and it wasn't Leo who did it. Tarantino wrote the character that way, he told that in one of the interviews.
Was it like a undiagnosed bipolar disorder?
I’ve watched this movie around 40 times, I’m not exaggerating at all. I feel engulfed in late 60’s Hollywood life. All the old references, color grading, music, everything about it made me feel like I was living in that era.
Period pieces like this are so difficult to make. & I bet anything, you can search this movie with a fine tooth comb & you wouldn't see any background mistakes. Another brilliant movie by Q.
The only knock I have is the ending. Wish he would've went with how it really went down.
Bro i've legit watched it that many times too. It's become one of those "put it on as i go to sleep" type nightly flicks. I'm so engulfed in that time too. The feeling of LA that summer must have been electric.
@Spencer Barton How many times did you see it at the theater? I saw it 5 times at the theater.
40...wow.. all my friends think I'm nuts for watching it 11 times!
I TOTALLY get why some people really didn't "get" this movie, but I for one instantly fell in love with this and have seen it many times since its release and it's become possibly my favourite Tarantino movie. A real immersive experience, deep into everyday "celebrity" life in 1969 Los Angeles - a world that I didn't want to leave at the end of the movie. It shows the good and the bad of Hollywood culture, the rise and fall of popularity. It's hilariously funny yet has this melancholy running through it that just leaves you feeling a little bit sad for a lost era and thinking "what could have been?" Absolutely incredible. I could and probably will watch this over and over again and not get tired of it. Hope it does really well at the Academy Awards because it deserves to.
Even after 8 viewings it only gets better

Agree with this statement.
Same here. It's probably the best movie I've seen in at least the last 20 years

This was a great film. Tarantino doesn't disappoint.
Just like Some Guy without a Mustache no he doesnt
Блондинка Марго здесь выглядит просто зачёт
Diego Pisfil did anyone ask ?
@Diego Pisfil two very different movies, both great and I won't mind if either of them gets an Oscar. In fact, all the nominated movies this year are pretty good. 2019 was a good year for movies. But considering Parasite is also nominated for the best foreign movie, I don't see it winning the main award.
thats because he makes love letters instead of films
This is one of those movies that you know will become better as the years pass. It's the kind of movie that are very rare nowadays. A true classic.
Thank you Tarantino!
Saw this movie in the middle of the summer of 2019 by myself. Didn’t have AC in my house, middle of a heat wave. I just got up, hopped on my motorcycle and bought a ticket. 50% of my motivation was to sit in the AC for a few hours. Ended up being one of the best movies I ever saw. Would loved to have lived in SoCal in the 60s.
that sounds like such a great time

This movie took me on a wild, emotional ride. It was suspenseful, laugh out loud funny, then left me with such a sad feeling, at the end of the movie, that haunted me for several days.
Once upon a time they all lived happily ever after. If only.
Agree, well said!!
That sad feeling washed over me as well at that crucial scene in the movie. Especially with the Vanilla Fudge song playing in the background "you just keep me hanging on"---the introduction in the song created that eerie feeling of something about to happen. If only. I wonder who picked this song for that scene--genius idea.
I found one of the last scenes where Leo is asking Brad if he wants him to go with him to the Hospital -when Brad is in the Ambulance -to be a really sad-nostalgic-sentimental scene. Because Brad is all alone and no-one to go with him. I personally have had to go in Ambulances when I've been hurt and it's very frightening. You just really DO want someone to hold your hand and be with you.
Obviously, Brad is okay but it's just really sad to me. Leo truly cares for him though and does offer to go which is pure gold ~ Love this Movie 😎💕💝 ~
The ending “what if” happiness, then sadness reality kicks in poor S.Tate
This film is QT’s masterpiece. Beautiful, complex, mature, nostalgic. Thanks for all the work over 30 years!
Jackie Brown had been my favorite QT film, until this one
Since Quentin wants to do only 10 movies and only one is left , I really wish somehow this was his last , this was a true masterpiece and I don't think ppl will ever get bored watching it again and again , especially as it is considered a love letter from him to Cinema, I'm afraid it will be so hard to top this one .
if you count death proof, his done now
I agree this shouldve been made last this would've been his love letter to Cinema
It's funny this was talked about when Quentin was on the Joe Rogan podcast, it sounds like Quentin pretty much agrees with what you're saying, that this movie was kind of his "end of career masterpiece" even though he wants to do another film
There are rumors that his last movie will be a horror movie
@@AndrejNikolov-xw2gisource? Neeed another qt flick asap
To me, this movie was a double bonus because it took me back to all the good and bad of working in Hollywood. I spent 12 years there, and enjoyed my time in the business, and the movie really captures....IT ALL! Driving around Hollywood. Driving around the Valley, being at the studios and around that environment. Running into older legends that still had such a presence, even in person, even if you just bump into them at somewhere like Solley's - you always knew when some older dude was at a table with cheesy looking dark sunglasses on - the challenge was guessing exactly who it was, until their friend arrived to meet them for lunch, and it was A-haaa! The feeling of being a young, up-and-coming - sneaking into the movies to watch your own scenes! Such a joy, those experiences of still being young and fresh. For ever person you meet on their way up, there's another on their way down - and either falling apart or holding steady, holding on to connections and working it to hustle up some new gig doing this or that. People just moving, moving, moving all the time! I couldn't be futher away from all of that now, but it really makes me miss the good part of the cultture of it. All the exciting energy! Brad Pitt and Leo were just so perfect, and I really do understand why Sharon Tate's character was meant to be played the way she was. I don't really understand people who want to piss about how she didn't get enough of a part or whatever - she was there as long as she needed to be there, and it was perfect enough to show those innocent, blossoming moments when you're fresh and on the rise. I can remember feeling exactly the same way. :) This film will always be a treasure to me.
I'm amazed DiCaprio has been overshadowed ( everyone's been all over Pitt). But DiCaprio made this movie as much as Pitt did.
I was noticing DiCaprio more.
Yeah they both gave amazing performances
Agreed, all scenes with them together just like driving back from the meeting with al Pacino where they’re talking in the car about his career are dynamite! They just bounce off each other so well. I think Pitt edged it for the academy because of the coolness and effortless charisma however
Love Leo as Rick Dalton; he was Brilliant🌠💐🏆
Yes!Leo is a better actor then Brad even though Brad is very good Leo is one of the best actors of all time.
I just watched this - not having seen the movie yet - and I'm glad I did.
I moved to Hollywood (22 yr old neive woman from out of state) in Nov. 1968. I drove my 1967 Mustang convertible. I could walk to Hollywood Blvd. I could walk to Vine Street. I LIVED this era and it was 😎
Biggest story I could share: I worked with Tex Watson's cousin who looked just like him!!!! When a pic of Tex was in the Los Angeles Times I almost fell over.
First hour into the movie I was like "meh" but once it was over I thought "what a masterpiece!"
Roger Ebert would've LOVED this masterpiece, for surely. Rest In Peace
Leo Nardo good call back! Chicago guy!!
Roger Ebert was in Hollywood around this time writing ' beyond the valley of the dolls '.. Another classic
He was a really sweet guy 💝. I always watched his Roger& Ebert Movie Review when I was growing up with my parents. He had an enthusiasm for movies that was truly infectious. Greatly missed tbs ~
This is a character study, structured in a more non-linear fashion than most other stuff you see today. Tarantino said that OATIH is the closest he's gotten to Pulp Fiction in terms of narrative design, and I can really only agree with him. There's nothing more refreshing than seeing a film where you can allow yourself to lean back and be enchanted by the setting, the cinematography and the acting, rather than constantly having to worry about whether you've missed an important plot point or not. This film makes it clear that it just ain't that type of movie. It's a hangout film with an extremely chill vibe in a pitch-perfect reimagining of 1960s Hollywood. If you're a 60s buff and/or dig the clothes, culture and music of that time, you'll love this movie.
what dude? one upon a time in Hollywood is most definitely linear story and character structure
@@grovermcdiarmid8109 Linear in what sense? We get to follow three individuals as they go about their days. There is literally no semblance of a narrative that intertwines these three stories. Sharon Tate and Rick Dalton only share one scene of dialogue in the entire movie. I'd say it's most certainly nonlinear in its structure as it gives us three separate stories that are almost completely unrelated to one another.
Although it has only three main characters, this film reminded me of Altman's "Nashville", it has this panoramic quality in certain scenes, or rather in how certain scenes play into each other's hands. It's probably the one Tarantino film that sometimes comes closest to the slice-of-life approach of other 1990s directors like Jarmusch or Linklater, it's more about environments than plot.
@@hasselett they are related narratively. They dont intertwine but they all work together to make the point that the movie is trying to convey.
Seriously, Tarantino has made a Masterpiece.
Well," love letter" is right. The production design team got nommed for an oscar, and so richly deserved it.
@@Pimp-Master Wasn't it? I love the way he did Hollywood Blvd, Wilshire it takes me back.
Again
You guys need to start watching some good movies. This is nowhere near a MASTERPIECE
@@Nai_Ben Watched all IMDB TOP 250 movies and all other Underrated Movies & Actor.
Would love to see Leo and Brad in another film! Performed brilliantly together. Another Tarantino classic imo.
DiCaprio is so good, as always, in this one. He changes from acting acting, beeing insecure, beeing sad, and the bad guy in 3 minutes.
14:54 We all know how much Quentin loves them footnotes.
RIP Luke Perry
Wow, yea, totally forgot that he had passed. Died way too young.
I had no idea Luke was in this I am not a huge fan anymore but what a loss
I truly hope really goddamn hope they release the 4 hour and 20 minutes version in full movie mode not like a tv series
I watched this film in a theatre, the last few minutes was a laugh riot and the entire film was breezely entertaining and engrossing. Indeed it's slow, but no complaints cause its A tarantino film. This is his style.
It's very simple. If you are too young to remember the events in this film, nearly ALL of the references will go right over your head. Tarantino was born in 1963 and I was born in the "Summer of Love", 1967. So for us, we remember being knee high to the real people from that time and heard about all of the things referenced in the film when they happened or very soon after. Without "Being there" , Googling these events just isn't the same. Looking back on it, it was a magical moment in time that will never be again. He did a great job capturing the feeling of the time.
I haven't even seen the world before internet at all. Looking back at previous eras is my only choice unless I create time travel.
So he was 6 years old in 1969? Lol you make no sense.
One of my favorite Quentin Tarantino films, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio's acting performances is fantastic! The directing, writing, and the style of the Hollywood set in 1969 is two thumbs up. Quentin Tarantino, You're the man!
The real sign of a great film is how well it holds up on repeated viewings.
This one has actually gotten BETTER each time I’ve watched it and it has now
risen up to the level of Pulp Fiction as the best movie Quentin has ever done.
Couldn't agree more, I seen it in the cinema and thought yeah good but not great..watched it when it got released and it blew my mind 🤣
@callmecatalyst I do agree, there is certain Tarantino films, you just get instantly..for Jackie Brown i was into it right away, but the Hateful eight, I've had to watch that film a good 5 or 6 times and then I was like yes good movie!
Pulp fiction is over rated and his worst movie in my opinion
Totally agree. This movie will never get old for me.
My uncle Paul was the Ventura County Coroner during the Manson murders, he showed my parents some of the case photos the first time I went there in 70/71. This movie reminds me of those trips down to L.A
I got to drive my vintage sports car as background up and down Sunset Blvd. for the movie. That was a lot of fun.
You’re so lucky! Did you make the final cut?
@@risk5riskmks93 I did for 2 seconds which was fun to see. In front of the Pacific Cinerama Dome scene.

This movie is becoming one of my favorite Tarantino movies. I think it's in my top five for sure.
Working in the Entertainment business, this movie was such a treat to watch.
Emily00Strange absolutely
@Emily00Strange you worked on any known movies / tv shows ?
What I love with this film is the environment on what Hollywood look like and how it became great. The music of the past and the cars.
I just fell in love with this movie, and this is coming from someone who´s never been a fan of Tarantino.
Me too!
@@yasminmcewen3749 Awesome
It's one of his best in my book, too. This one and "Django Unchained". Django is more coherent in narrative, but it is costume film generic with a Tarantino twist. "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is panoramic and feels like its own genre while paying tribute to all kinds of genres that came before. It's daring!

This film is a masterpiece that is holding up to repeat visits splendidly - the sign of great cinema.
I'm no film buff but I really noticed the different types of film used to get different looks. Really cool
Quentin just gets better w/time, hope he keeps going beyond 10.
I love 1969. It was such an amazing year full of events, not only in cinema also en music. It was the point of encounter of many rock bands that would soon disappear the following year (The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Janis Joplin etc) and of new bands that were just beginning (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, etc) Almost miraculously all those bands were making new albums in 1969. Also: Woodstock Festival, Apollo 11 moon landing, the protests for Vietnam War, among many other things.
As a Tarantino fan since the beginning, I can genuinely say that, other than maybe Reservoir Dogs and the Hateful Eight, this is my favorite work he's ever done. I totally get why some people may not like it quite as much, it being an unconventional plot, and slower paced than his other works. But personally, I was simply in a trance the entire time and the whole experience was awe-inspiring and magical for me. It's simply amazing. Especially being a fan of cinema and television dating back to the 30s, and also a history buff...the atmosphere was perfect, the details were spot on, and the jokes resonated more than they might for some less well-versed people. As much as some people criticized the plot, I thought it was one of the more powerful screenplays he's written. Different, yes. But full of social critique and satire. Extremely smart. The dichotomy between the open, free-loving, optimistic, giddy Sharon Tate relishing her every moment in Hollywood, and simply going about her happy life; and the aging, closed-minded, self-deprecating, self-loathing, pessimistic Rick Dalton struggling to find a place for himself....simply amazing. I've watched the movie numerous times. I'm about to purchase the movie so I can watch it as many times as I desire. This movie deserves some Academy Award wins. Hopefully it gets them!
Tijjeroo Woopdidoo this movie was shit
Very well expressed, I fully agree.
not gonna lie to you the extended hateful 8 on netflix is 10 times better than the theatrical cut. just my opinion but i recommend watching it if you haven’t
That moment after the little girl tells Rick that was the best acting gets me every time...goosebumps and excitement for Rick. When he raises his gun and says "Rick fucking Dalton" i say it out loud with him every time.
Creepy
It's a once in a lifetime treat . Not only do you get Quentin Tarantino writing and his vision but you get all of the best actors and human beings together talking with each other and about the project. Pitt, DiCaprio, Russell, Margot Robbie, Pacino, Hirsch, Fanning ,Perry, Bruce Dern for crying out loud. Rumor Willis Olyphant, the guy that plays Manson. Good lord, it goes on.
Can you imagine Quentin Tarantino offering or asking you to play Charles Manson ? I would be like WTF ? Could that be a career killer or just the opposite. Julia Butters performance is off the charts. I was sitting in my living room 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. Clapping , applauding. I can't describe it and do her justice. She blew me away.
I was just captivated with this movie. I was blown away that he transported us back into that time, and I was curious about the behind scene details of how he did it, And It’s great that they allowed us to get a sneak peak behind the scenes and hear from the talented team members of what it took. Blown away!
This movie, the atmosphere, the love being poured into it
I wanna do this for the 90s
Well, this is a very, Very excellent Tarantino work of Art . These are the milestones that all of the cinema is based on. No way other than to say it was a collaborative effort, and one that Brad Pitt truly shines in. All of the cast is perfect, . . . just perfect.
1969 I was 15 years old and it was the best time of my life, if I could go back in time, that would be it.
i will never stop loving this movie.
Loved this movie already but this made me appreciate so much more somehow. Just the incredible amount of detail involved, the music, sets, props, costumes alst while still being an amazing film that is highly engaging, haunting, funny and bittersweet. My pick for best picture.
The salute to the memory of George Spahn was cool, he passed away in 1974. And then they reference to Cliff murdering his wife, reminded me of Robert Wagner, and Natalie Wood. Loved the Pitbull.
Leonardo and Brad pitt legend actors
They'll be here long after I'm gone and long after they're gone they _will_ be remembered.
@@TralfazConstruction they will remember them
The basketball diaries, that's the movie that showed me what a great actor Leonardo is.
Just love the mixture of Tarantino’s memory of the ‘60s, a celebration of cinema history and offering commentary on a tragedy. Nothing ever feels like a gimmick, because he has so much to say.
Ridge Cinema I thought the last ten minutes were super gimmicky and it actually made me dislike the film. I was feeling it up to that point. Then it got real silly and it contained some of the absolute worst acting I’ve ever seen. This film is toward the bottom third of his films. I still think Jackie Brown and Pulp are his best. Followed by Django and Basterds.
@@djstarsign gotta disagree i was expectin the movie to wrap up kinda poorly then out of nowhere all that shit goes down and it made me enjoy the movie even more and when i found out this one of one charles mansons murder but rewrittin, it made me enjoy it even more. A great film that from every one else in the comments seems to get even better the more u watch it
@@djstarsign The finale is a total tone breaker and stylistically jumps the shark, so I understand how IT can feel gimmicky at first. But ultimately, this film is about how Hollywood changed over time, production conditions, technology and techniques, formats and styles, tastes and trends and genres preferred: War movies, series, traditional Westerns, Italo-Westerns, European Arthouse, Kung-Fu flicks, etcetera. Like a historical chronic of Hollywood but in a magical realism way. Once upon a time... Like a fairytale it ends with the Manson murders never happening. But we know this is not real and it comes across eerie like something out of The Twilight Zone - another nod at a change in the audience's taste. The same can be said about the seemingly "gimmicky" shootout. The Manson murders symbolically marked the end of the Woodstock era and films like "Hair". After that it was punk and shock-rock, movies like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Night of the Living Dead" and the whole serial killer, slasher, splatter, gore and giallo genre type stuff. It makes sense that this is the style used to eradicate the Manson murders out of history - it makes it all the more ironic and surreal, stresses the contrafactual aspect, the parallel universe / twilight zone / fairy tale / dream logic side of it. Once upon a time... I love how the title ties both sides of the coin together: Chronic & Dreamland.
I wasn't sure about this movie the first time I saw it for whatever reason, but I watched it a second time and it grabbed me. I've since watched it at least a dozen times. It's almost a "comfort movie", one that I can put on, sink into and immerse myself in for a few hours. The performances, the production design, the music, the painstaking recreation of 1969 in Hollywood..... it's fantastic. Probably Tarantino's most "mature" movie, with a great buildup and a highly satisfying, redemptive conclusion. Love it. One of my favourite movies of all time.
Dalton messing up his lines while they're filming in the saloon, followed by Leo's improvised freak out in the trailer is one of the funnier scenes I've ever seen in any movie.. I absolutely died in the theater, and everytime I re watch it, that scene is just amazingly well acted and natural
Great video! We all remember America in Hollywood because we all grew up & lived in Movies & TV. There were no cell phones or computers. This was the beginning of bringing the whole country try & world together. 1969!!!!! We can all relate & FEEL it if from this era.
The more and more I watch it, the film to me really is a masterpiece, the cast, the acting, the script, soundtrack and cinematography is fantastic
I am obsessed with this movie.
Being transported back too a time and a Hollywood I remember so well. Love the buddy story that weaves a thread from beginning to the end.
Pure joy. 💖
I LOVE how this film just transforms us back to a great time of Americana...while those days were wrought with craziness, growing up in those days were amazing. The colors, the music, the style, the cars, the TV shows, the simplicity of spending hours outside with your friends riding bikes, playing sports and just being a kid.
the first time i watched this movie i didn’t know how to feel but now after several viewings it’s one of my favorite qt films. it’s like a warm blanket for me. i could watch it anytime. i also really love the set design. makes me wish i could time travel to that era
One of the best movies ever and my fav movie of 2019 ❤️❤️❤️ i also bow to Quentin for including my fav Sharon Tate and giving her the respect and screen time she deserved and never got !! Finally she didn‘t get it in life but she‘d be happy to know that people love and remember her... and i love the music.. California Dreamin gets me emotional every time
I don’t care if people say this was Quentin’s worst movie, this movie is a FUCKING MASTERPIECE! Everything from the story, the music, the characters, the cinematography, and the set design, is just fantastic. Tarantino made a movie about how movies were made in Hollywood and the possibility of history being changed with The Manson Family getting what they deserved. Love this movie so so much❤️
I remember when I would shell out $30 for a DVD just for the special fetaures like this.
Definitely one of my favourites from Quentin, it's on par with pulp fiction for me at the moment
To me, it is superior to it.
Love that Champion t-shirt. Remember those well from the 70s.
One of Tarantino's best as it's a reflection of his own career as much as it is a portrait of Hollywood, its stories and characters. Rather than go through this epic story like many other Tarantino films, it slowed down and was very much a character study, along with historical elements. Love this movie.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE 💕💝💃🎵🌠🏆🏆🏆 really an achievement for this entire cast and crew to always be proud of. Tarantino wrote & directed a True Hollywood Classic.
I liked how they mentioned KHJ radio . Anyone who lived in So Cal during that time and through the 70's probably remembers that . It was on in my car all the time !
Cliff Booth has the best life of any movie character ever, and that's before seeing where he lives, that just tops it off. Sit on top of your trailer and watch a new movie, just perfect.
I adore this film. The radio is one of my favorite ‘characters’ in this movie; beautiful authenticity.
I love this movie, there as never been anything like it, I have now watched it 48 times, it will always without any doubt be my all time favourite film, I think it was made for me.
Its absolutely insane when i stop and start thinking, If cliff booth and rick Dalton existed they would stop the tragedy that happened to sharon tate, this movie its the best movie of all time.
10:07 ...that girl totally meant it.... Leo is an amazing actor...
We’re so lucky to have Quentin 🫡
I’m not much of a Quentin Tarantino fan but I love this film. Right next to Inglorious Basterds, it’s my favorite Tarantino film.
I love this film for a lot of reasons. It's a beautifully crafted film in all respects. But for me, like Quentin, it was a time portal back to my childhood. I grew up in this place, with these kinds of people. My mother worked in the industry in bit roles. My Dad (they were divorced) dated women who were trying to make it in the industry. It was woven into the fabric of my life. When I heard "93 KHJ" my brain automatically answered..."Golden!!!" This is a film that I will watch at least once a year for the rest of my years.
The book store scene. That's Clu Gulager, noted character actor from the 60s - present. He starred in his own western TV shows around this time. That's also the ACTUAL Maltese Falcon from the original 1941 film (owned by Leo.)
Another prime example of the different "levels" of Hollywood in one small scene.
It’s strange that this isn’t his final film. It’s his best imo, and obviously his most personal. If he plans on stopping at 10 then I’m curious why he didn’t wait to hold it off until the last. It’s so perfect for a swan song.
Indeed! Maybe we should be careful, appreciating it so much? :-) Maybe this whole movie is exploring QT's situation? Rick, after delivering his great scene, was hyper-aware of being a near-has-been, but for now, he's still got it - better than ever!! By the end, the evil threat (creepy crawling death) is defeated. It picked the wrong guy to mess with! ... And our hero's id resisted the entrapment of playing a younger man's game (jailbait poontang). So what next? That's the question the movie leaves us with. Interesting that QT gave Rick a new non-american wife. .... QT is primarily a writer, which fits his new family life. He is also a successful producer. Other people can direct his stuff no problem. eg. True Romance, Dusk Till Dawn, Natural Born Killers. (though maybe he didn't like them.) Like an actor letting his stunt-man take the fall. Imagine a new Tarantino script directed by a young Korean or Japanese director? Now that would be interesting! ... So he's out free and clear. Like Butch escaping the pawn shop. BUT ... the urge to go back in ....to do what needs to be done ...
Nothing but love for this movie and everyone involved in its making!
Dont know why people hate on this picture. I loved it like most, if not all Tarantino pictures. Leo and Brad absolutely nailed it. Were amazing together. Kinda reminded me of Brad and Ed norton in FC, which I also love!
Loved watching this in the cinema. I'm 54 and remember the old movies and TV. Loved seeing Brad Pitt's character fight Bruce Lee and him kick that evil woman's arse. His violence isn't real, mostly.
I always have a soft spot for Los Angeles, having lived there for a number of years. Such an interesting city and this movie really celebrates everything that is special about LA.
This movie was so incredibly well made, that i wish to experience it again for the first time. The story, the cinematography, the soundtrack and most importantly, the acting, was just perfect. This movie is already a cult classic in my opinion.
I'm 28 and will never see a period in time like the 60s in my lifetime. This movie truly connected me to that period in america in a way nothing ever will besides maybe the beatles
I was alive when the Manson murders happened, so I had a sense of dread about the ending. I think that's exactly why it was SO rewarding to see the fantastic last part of this film! (don't want to be a spoiler) I rarely watch anything more than once, and have seen this several times.
Me too. Can't seem to get enough. Sad that people never had a chance to live it. We are bless in a way.
This is my favourite Tarantino film and I love that he chose to portray Sharon Tate with a happy ending. Such a feel good film with immense lovable characters. Can't wait for his final film!
Tarantino worked so hard to get all the music right! He found the actual piano that was in the Sharon Tate house. The piano had been used by Mark Lindsay and Terry Melcher to write "Good Thing," one of the featured songs on the Grammy-nominated soundtrack.
This movie is Tarantino's best by far! Watched it twice in the theater.
I love this movie so much. I've watched it on release day and at least 5 times since then. Unbelievable.
From my perspective the best comment in this collections thereof, it this "my father cried at the end". This encapsulates my feeling of that period of time which "we" have lived and lost. Feel a great affinity to this guy who I don't know. 🙂😉
Best acting, best soundtrack, great summer movie! Now it's time for his 10th adventure, Once upon a time in New York! Starring George Clooney, during the great depression🤗🏙️
I saw it for the 1st time about 6 months ago, I knew little about it, I only heard that Tarantino was doing a film about Hollywood around the time of the Manson family murders. I purposely avoided reviews and spoilers of it. I sat down to watch it without high expectations because of the reality the incident was a real downer, I remember it all too well, followed the trial, read the books and interviews over the years. Coming back to reality after watching it, I really regretted not seeing it on the big screen. Such a beautifully shot movie, maybe his best ever. He pulled out all the tricks for each scene without it becoming artsy, seamlessly changing the lighting styles, camera perspectives, and rhythm/pacing, immersing each set into their own little mini movies. As usual in his films, the dialog was natural, the acting by everyone was superb, and the story takes unforeseen twists and turns.
Everything about this film is pure class. Brilliant movie!
Luke Perry.. Gosh tears came to my eyes! 😭💓
Aashish Khakha stop it
He captured, Scott Lancer, perfectly.
Best movie of the year!
I love Margot Robbie but I wish they would have picked a no-name actress to play Sharon Tate because all I can see is Margot Robbie in the movie. I'm not disappointed though...she was great.
Such a great movie. Always will be in my memory.
I really hope this film wins Best Picture at the Oscars!
Me too.
I rarely go see a movie in the theatre twice. I went to see this four times, and have seen it at least a dozen times on TV since. I think “Pulp Fiction” will always be my favourite Tarantino movie, but this is a close second.
