The pilot TV show that Mia describes to Vincent at dinner is actually the seed of the story that became Kill Bill, which Uma and Tarantino came up with during the filming of this movie.
John danced in EVERYTHING he did, from the TV show Welcome back Kotter, all the way into the 2000s, and Urban Cowboy, Saturday night Fever, and Staying Alive, were all about dancing!
The Bible quote from Samuel L. Jackson's character in this, is also seen on the fake tombstone of Nick Fury at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Films used to show all the credits at the beginning of the film. Tarantino wanted this to be an homage to the old films, so he did a long intro with the credits.
I like the "art history" perspective on this. Painters first tried to make things look as real as possible, but after they mastered that they started to fool around with the perspective, and then other things. Movie makers originally told linear stories, and in the best of them every detail is important. So, Quentin decides to tell a non-linear story, yet manages to give you a satisfying ending. And in this movie the included details are a mix of important and unimportant ones, in a sense; the main thing seems only to be that they all occurred inside of a certain narrow window of time. (I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that, but that's my comment and I'm sticking to it.) I enjoyed your reaction to this, especially your references to the "a** watch" (LOL!), and I hope you're having a lovely day.
If someone described this movie to you, lots of extreme violence, people overdosing on drugs, people robbing a restaurant, a guy was supposed to throw the boxing match and instead won and killed the other boxer, there's a story in there about a watch that was handed down over generations and had to be hid up people's bum for years, a dance scene, lots of random dialogue about McDonald's in Europe vs. America, and rumors about how a guy was thrown several stories out a window for giving his mob boss' wife a foot massage, and how one character wants a potbelly, etc., you would think that would be a terrible movie. But it's not, it's actually really good. Crazy, yes, but still good. I've seen it enough times that when I wasn't looking and was playing with my cat for a minute, I still knew what scene it was from the music even though there was no dialogue. I've seen it probably at least a dozen times, but I honestly don't know how many times I've seen it. I don't go out of my way to watch it, but if I wanna watch something and nothing better's on, then I might watch it again.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is such a great film. I think it’s especially interesting for those of us who grew up in the 60’s & 70’s & can remember the television shows of the time. It definitely makes me nostalgic.
and Saturday Night Fever. Travolta has the moves. The best parts of a Tarantino movie are dialog and soundtrack. The random stories loosely connected is a staple of old time pulp fiction novels
Fun reaction.. It was fun watching you react and follow the bouncing ball through the film!! Reservoir Dogs was his first, fun but very violent! I find his 3rd (Jackie Brown) to be my favorite. Different then his other films, not saying his best or the most popular horse in the stable.. It is for me though. Anyways great reaction, It was a fun watch along~ Good luck with the new set up!
Yes, patrons always vote for Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, which are very good films, and rarely Jackie Brown, but Jackie is also my favorite Tarantino film, it is more traditional, relative, story telling, which I have always attributed to the fact that it is taken from someone else's novel - Elmore Leonard, a writer with many, many tales which have been made into movies. Jackie Brown is from his book,, "Rum Punch".
@@tomswift3482 Hey, thanks for the insight and sharing it. I am waiting on the book they used for Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk but now I will be ordering Rum Punch next week. Relative and story telling were perfect descriptions of why I enjoy Jackie Brown so much. Thanks again for sharing, take care~
Yes, opening credits in different styles and forms had been the absolut standard in cinema history, they really only felt out of fashion more and more in the last 15-20 years. 😉
I can understand people not liking this movie. It's violent, foul-mouthed random dialog,, told out of order but i personally love it. It's the kind of movie that gets better and better every time I watch it.
Great movie, love the dialog. Gotta say NO to mayo on french fries. My first choice would be mustard or hot sauce. Don't know if you caught it but Marcellas was walking across street bc he was with Vincent, Marcellas had gone to get breakfast as Jules had retired. Honey Bunny was played by Amanda Plummer who is actor Christopher Plummers daughter. You did good, as usual.
There is a cut of this movie that puts it in chronological order. That might be best for you. But a key note of keeping things in order is to pay attention to the clothing.
Tarantino has other stuff not directed or written such as True Romance, Desperado, dusk til dawn, death proof,even a couple episodes of the TV show, Alias! His first written and directed movie, reservoir dogs! He's best at having his characters having random conversations!
Don’t feel embarrassed for John Travolta about dancing. Check out the movie Saturday Night Fever and you will see a young Travolta killing it on the dance floor.
This movie restored my faith in movies. When it came out everything was ultra-processed, predictable Hollywood dreck. This was a breath of fresh air. This, and Twelve Monkeys.
*In Butch and Fabienne´s bed scene, she told him twice about she´s pregnant, in a subtle way... but he didn´t realize. *When Vincent talks the drug dealer about his scratched car, the car was scratched by Butch... after they met in that tense meeting in the bar.
Great reaction Andelain like always, i love this ,it´s a masterpiece of cinema, the dialogue is sharp, the performances immaculate, and the twists continually surprising. There’s much about the film that stands the test of time. There are some fun-facts about it, You can watch the film chronologically ... kind of. The narrative structure of the film plays out of sequence, but it’s easy enough to break it down into seven distinct sections (a prologue, an epilogue, two preludes, and three large segments) that can then be re-ordered into a chronological narrative. This movie contains 265 f-bombs, Even that hefty number isn’t Tarantino’s highest (1992’s Reservoir Dogs used it 269 times). Still, the film was the big “f word” winner of 1994, as no other film released that year even came close to that amount of profanity. John Travolta’s character in the film had a sweet ride which, in real life, belonged to Tarantino and it was such a hot rod that it was stolen soon after the film’s release. Uma Thurman wasn’t actually Tarantino’s his first pick for Mia Wallace. Other possible Mias? Isabella Rossellini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, Daryl Hannah, Rosanna Arquette, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Tarantino’s original favorite was supposedly Pfeiffer. The original theatrical poster is worth a lot of money. The first poster had Thurman smoking not from a box of Red Apple cigarettes (Tarantino’s fake brand, seen in many films), but from a box of Lucky Strike cigarettes. However, Miramax hadn’t licensed usage rights from Lucky Strikes, which then threatened to sue. Rather than fight it, Miramax had the posters returned. Those that survived can now command big money. The infamous scene in which Mia Wallace is stabbed with a very necessary adrenaline shot was stressful enough, so Tarantino took off some of the pressure: The needle was inserted, and then Travolta pulled it out. The scene was reversed in post-production so it looks as if Vincent Vega really is plunging that syringe into her. Movie magic! And the character Vincent Vega is the brother of Michael Madsen's character (Vic Vega) in Reservoir Dogs. About your question whats in the case, Tarantino leaves that answer to us its anything we want, many speculate that is Marsellus soul, This is a theory that, at face value, seems wholly unbelievable, but holds merit among many of the fans who have theorized over the last 25-plus years as to what could be inside the briefcase. There are theories that Marsellus had previously sold his soul to the devil, with key indicators pointing to the fact that the combination to the briefcase is '666' and that Marsellus has an unexplained band-aid covering a scar on the back of his neck. This would explain the shock and awe that people feel upon seeing inside the briefcase. There are religious anecdotes spread throughout the film, specifically concerning the character Jules Winnfield. Samuel L. Jackson is often remembered for this role, where Jules would recite biblical scripture and cite the fact that he has survived near-impossible odds as divine intervention, telling him to leave this unethical work. But the funny thing is that Jules doesnt qoute the bibble, this version Ezekiel 25:17 isn’t taken verbatim from the bible. In fact, Tarantino actually took the exchange from the opening of a Japanese martial-arts film called Karate Kiba (1973), starring Sonny Chiba in the titular role. Keep up amazing work.
First, mayo is great on fries and ketchup should be illegal. The briefcase was full of McGuffin. They stole the trophy. Vincent was trying to stop using and that messed up his stomach that is why he kept going to the bathroom. The red car Vincent drove and the wallet Jules has both belonged to Tarantino. The car was stolen during filming and wasn't found for 17 years.
Nice. A really good movie. I love a good piquaresque story. This put Tarantino on the map bigtime. But for me, it's not his best. That would be True Romance. Quickly followed by Reservoir Dogs.
I clicked on this because I thought I'd seen the film. Then I realized I had bits of Reservoir Dogs mixed up with this film in my head. Then it struck me that I was thinking of another film altogether that has a rigged boxing match in it. And now I have no idea if I have actually watched Pulp Fiction or not. Totally enjoyed your reaction, though. :)
i always wondered, if you are asked to throw a fight, then the odds are probably in your favour, right? But then you would benefit even more from actually throwing and betting on the other guy, rather than not doing so and betting on yourself, in the process making powerful enemies too... ofc pride and stuff, but still... i just wonder if i misunderstand the concept fundamentally.
This is an American thing. Mr. Wolf is what they call (A Fixer). A "fixer" is a former police officer, special operations soldier, or government agent with connections who can make certain problems "disappear". A fixer is a real thing. They mostly exist in Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Washington D.C.
You're not the only one. I've never watched a Tarantino movie more than once by myself. It's exclusively a group watch party. Once you figure out the Tarantino method, it's no longer interesting. Like M. Night Shymalan. This movie is a 3 out of 5 stars.
At the time, this film felt like something different. Didn't age well imo. Too cartoonish, style over substance. Sort of a gimmick, really. Only character worth rooting for was Butch. The rest is just Hollyweird trying to look edgy. You did Firefly recently, right? Thinking of Ep.8 now, "Out of Gas". Non-linear storytelling as well, but with well-rounded characters. That small gem is still a joy to watch. This film tho, is old.

Yay! *watches*
Also, back in the day, credits were played at the start of movies and not the end.
John danced in EVERYTHING he did, from the TV show Welcome back Kotter, all the way into the 2000s, and Urban Cowboy, Saturday night Fever, and Staying Alive, were all about dancing!

Probably one of the greatest movies ever made! This is in all time classic. Tarantino dialogue can never be beaten, it's so iconic.

You nailed the balloon
‘Oh my god! …… What’s this!!!? Why?’ Perfect reaction 😂😂😂
When it was released, I went back to the theatre three more times to rewatch it. Fight Club was the only other movie I paid to rewatch more than once.
Think I saw the Matrix at least 3 times in the theater. Gotta like the 90’s.
The suitcase is a homage to the great film noir Kiss Me Deadly, from 1955
The look on your face, ma'am, in the middle of Christopher Walken's story: Priceless. 👍

There's actually an homage to the scene where the guy empties his gun and misses every single shot in the Fallout tv show.
If someone described this movie to you, lots of extreme violence, people overdosing on drugs, people robbing a restaurant, a guy was supposed to throw the boxing match and instead won and killed the other boxer, there's a story in there about a watch that was handed down over generations and had to be hid up people's bum for years, a dance scene, lots of random dialogue about McDonald's in Europe vs. America, and rumors about how a guy was thrown several stories out a window for giving his mob boss' wife a foot massage, and how one character wants a potbelly, etc., you would think that would be a terrible movie.

John Travolta is a dancer, so no need to have expected "embarrassment".
He's also an actor, which means he can do bad dancing if his role requires it.
Hope you liked this enough to react to more Tarantino. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is great.
Absolutely!

Hey there! You look lovely as always like Uma
17:18 it's a guy thing, very common. Probably should not be telling you that.
Excuse me miss, big fan but mayonnaise is NOT better than ketchup
In the US probably, because the mayo over there really is awful.
If you make your own mayo it's one of the best tasting condiments in existence.
I use fries as an excuse to get to the ketchup.
I don't put anything on it unless it's gone cold. Putting anything semi-fluid on hot fries lowers the temperature and I don't like them lukewarm.
Correctomundo you are
You just don't get us.
Yuck. Mayonnaise better than ketchup? Gross. The wedding is off.
