The ending is so cathartic because that's how we wished it could've ended. Quentin Tarantino reduced these monsters to an absolute joke. The audience in the theater was laughing and cheering. It was a perfect revenge on the Manson family for what they did. Also, the final scene where the four people who actually died in real life go out and greet Leo's character, a case of "if only", gets to me.
The very last moment of this movie always gives me cold goosebumps.. such an eerie, sad but beautiful fantasy. The way the camera raises above, the soft and positive dialogue of people who should have lived, that music and the title being shown, is a perfectly done, very powerful and unique moment in movie history
Interesting watching you react to it while not knowing about the history of the Charles Manson murders. In real life Mansons followers (Tex and those girls) broke into Polanksi's house and killed a pregnant Sharon Tate (Margo Robbie character) and some other folks. Much like Tarantino did in Inglorious Bastards, this film "changes" history to show what could have happened if they had failed. The crazy thing about when this movie came out was that in the theater, when it started showing the time - 8pm, midnight, etc, we were all anticipating the Manson murders and wondering what Quentin was going to do with it! PS the dude that rolled up in the donut truck was supposed to be Charles Manson.
@@gator4458 or they should have had one of them ask what his name was when he went to the Tate house looking for Terry Melcher. So that way the audience knows who he is right away.
@@NuCkInFuTs1No, because Manson wouldn't want them to know it was him. You don't give them your name if you get caught casing someone's house. Duh.😁 And seriously, how many people now days don't research a movie before seeing it anyway? Trailers no longer peak enough of our interest, gotta know every detail about it.🙄 It literally lists Damon Harriman as Charlie in the casting.
@@gregoryjames174 he wasn't "casing" the house at all in real life when he went there, he was trying to talk to (intimidate) Terry Melcher about the record deal. He thought Melcher was still living there.
Glad I saw this comment when he didn’t clock Manson at the Polanski residence so I could bail. If you don’t know the story this movie is based on, it just won’t land the way it is supposed to.
My father was in the Navy and stationed in Los Angeles back in 1969 when the Manson Family murders occurred, probably not more than a couple miles from where it happened, and he was a huge fan of Sharon Tate. Let's just say that when him and I watched this movie and these 3 murdering pieces of garbage had their fortunes reversed in so grizzly of a fashion, we both cheered along with everybody else in the theater. For 50 years Charles Manson had been regarded as some sort of cultural icon, and then with one brilliant scene, Quentin Tarantino reduced him and his cult to a punchline. God bless him for it.
@@ergoat Eh, yes they do. I don’t like hippie culture myself, but it goes well beyond that, there is a whole subculture devoted to Manson, it’s not just a few edgelords on the internet. Take a shower, brah. It’s good for you.
crazy how the ending is like a "what could have been", the factual results were absolutely horrific known as the manson murders. this movie was an absolute classic, saw it in theatres 5 times including first showing. one of my fav tarantinos of all time 🙌
Fr. And I have to say, for a movie that depended heavily on build up and dialogue, with little action, the payoff at the end was totally worth it. lol. Heck, I remember watching this in theaters. The ott gore and violence was so unexpected, that the movie theater I was in lost their minds. lol. Also, this movies ending was so much better than what happened irl.
If you know anything about Tarantino Movies, its that almost everyone dies at the end. So i was on the edge of my seat during the end, I thought brad Pitt was gonna get shot. And then I laughed, I laughed when he took care of them. And I rarely, very rarely laugh loud.
I saw this one in theaters. The ending had me so on edge until I realized Tarantino was doing an alternate history story. The mix of relief and catharsis is difficult to put into words.
me too! I remember all the stuff about the murders, and haven't seen a lot of Tarentino movies, but I know they are known for the violence, so I started getting uneasy, until the ending began to change....
I was really anxious about it too. I wasn't sure how it was gonna end but I knew it was gonna be bloody. But I was right to guess, like most other lovers of his, he would have much better sense than that 😆
Yeah, I was in the theater and as soon as I saw the neon lights for "El Coyote" come on, my heart sank. But then I was relieved to be reminded that I was watching a Tarantino movie. 😂
Yup, it's also Jackie Brown for me but this one ties with Inglorious Basterds for my fave Q flick. Seems like Tarantino really knows how to bring out the badass in Brad Pitt. Can't believe both Pitt and Cruise are pushing 60 y/o now. Gen X is a mfka.
@@desmoove All the Q movies are great, I saw Jackie Brown in the theater and liked it but it is maybe the slowest developing movie he's ever made. The Hateful Eight is underrated and one of my favorite Q movies
An instant classic. The perfect snapshot of idyllic Tinsletown in its final days and probably the best subversion of expectation. The 60s and 70s were the best party years out west, I wish I was around in Tucson in those days. I miss the desert more and more every day. Everyone played TF out of this movie, not one minute feels like they're slacking. Much love, Leo, glad you had fun with this movie.
Ngl when Rick came back at the end of the movie with the flamethrower my missus and I were like; No way... NOOOO FUCKIN' WAY!!!! YOOOOOOO!!!!! WE WERE LOSING OUR SHIT LMAO This movie hits so hard, 20/10
That’s a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia … My Mom had that exact car, same color in 1983. I learned to drive in that car , learned Stick shift and took my drivers test in that car. We also had a yellow one. Coolest damn car .. even then. I literally shed a tear when I saw Brad driving it in this film at the Theater opening weekend. I also shed a tear and jumped up and down when Brad won his First Oscar for his role as Cool Cliff Booth.. I cried I was so happy for him . I walked out of the theater saying he’d be nominated and win which made the evening even more sweeter.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Speaking of Volkswagens, most people miss the green one outside the theater that Sharon walks by. It's just like the one that famously appears several times during the chase scene in "Bullitt."
Tarantino wrote a film criticism book called Cinema Speculation a year back, which details his cinematic upbringing during this era of movies. The book really gives you a detailed look at how influential cinema and pop culture in general is to him, and all that passion translates to this film in a magical way.
i went into this movie for the first time knowing every reported detail of what really happened at the polanski house that night, and how tarantino changed it was such an incredible experience that i was crying from both laughter and catharsis. not just the ending is glorious to me - the scene of rick filming in the tavern, oh my god. what a performance from both rick AND from leo. it’s such a fantastic film on so many levels.
Yea everyone knows everything. Always surprising when someone doesnt know something YOU know. You must know everything about everything. So funny. Weird that you scream at your phone tho. It’s an object.
Yeah, but you know what, it creates curiosity enough to look into it. I was just at Cielo Drive last weekend. It was after sunset, and it was a gave me a very somber feeling 55 years later.
Margot Robbie was given Sharon Tate’s earrings to wear in the movie by Sharon’s sister Debbie. Debbie approved of the script. If only it had been the truth. I’ll never forget that night in 69 watching the news. I had seen Sharon Tate in the movie the wrecking crew. She was beautiful, sexy and really funny in that movie. And then to hear about the others who were so brutally slaughtered that night. Also, in reading Candace Bergen’s autobiography, she talked about the fact that Manson had been at that house when she and Terry Melcher, Doris Day’s son, lived there. Melcher was a music producer and Manson wanted to be a musician. That was the incident that killed the 60s. That killed the dream of a better world coming out of the hippie movement. It’s really too bad. You didn’t know about this before watching the movie. The ending makes me cry. How we wish it was the way it actually happened.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is in my top 5 movies of all time, (The Exorcist, Jaws, The Shining, Pulp Fiction) It is perfection, and has so much climatically written between lines that it’s insane. It captures the film industry during the 60s in Hollywood so beautifully, and each genre of TV so accurately that it makes my brain sizzle. Beautiful, shining dream of a movie 🎥🍿💫 Besides Sharon Tate’s fate being altered, my favorite homage is the mini TV actor, Trudi Frazer aka “Marabella Lancer”, whose character is inspired by child actor prodigy, Jodi Foster, who worked on old Hollywood westerns at the beginning of her career.
Tarantino is a master at building tension and has us genuinely believing our characters are going to get horribly killed. Before the manson followers came in Quentin put all the characters in vulnerable positions. Rick was in the pool with headphones on, wife was in bed, and worst of all Cliff is high as a kite lol.
My dad loves this movie,he was a teenager in 1969 when it takes place so. They pretty much got alot of the background details right so it felt like a visual time machine for my dad.
For some great spaghetti westerns, try. "A fist full of dollars", "For a few dollars more" and "The good, the bad and the ugly". They're a Clint Eastwood trilogy.
Jay Sebring (Jim Morrison's hairdresser) discovered Bruce Lee at a karate tournament in Long Beach and got him to teach Sharon Tate karate for the movie she was in.
My wife's cousin is the redhead who Brad Pitt kills at the end. Fun fact: one of her first acting roles was playing his love interest in Benjamin Button.
@@koberhoads I don't know which ones you are referring to but the scene where he kicks the shit out of Bruce Lee was based off real events. It happened back when I was very young about seven years old. I heard about this stuntman beating up a kung fu fighter, I didn't realize at the time it was Bruce Lee. I shouldn't say too much because his followers, that are worse than Trump supporters, will raise holy hell.
The Sharon Tate murders was like the 9/11 of Hollywood. It ended that beautiful innocent era depicted in this film. That was the time Quentin Tarantino (this movie's director) grew up in that area. This was his childhood, what he fell in love with - and those real-life murders was the end of that innocence. So this is Quentin's fictional spin on how he wishes it went down instead, so that innocent Hollywood that he fell in love with could live on.
I love this movie so much! An alternate fairytale version of what happens to so many people in Hollywood; a happy ending for Sharon and a quick, ignominious end for the murderers.
So sad this isn’t how things really turned out for Sharron💜 interesting take on how a simple turn of a single event can domino down a series of others .
(5:02) The song Behind the Green Door, which was originally about the green door of a speakeasy, is where the Mitchell brothers got the title for the porno film Behind the Green Door, which was actually a good movie as far as pornos go.
This was easily the best feel good movie of the year! Anyone watching this show, needs to have a basic knowledge of the Manson Family to really enjoy the movies brilliance! To me the ending was so amazing, how one last time Cliff was Rick Dalton's stand in for a dangerous stunt.
I always get a little sad when I think about the George Spawn role, which was originally cast for Burt Reynolds, and then he passed away before filming.
I love how current Hollywood "It" girl, Sydney Sweeney is in this movie for a few times. You show her at 26:37, with her being one of the Manson girls.
Leo, have you heard about Charles Manson and the Manson family murders? Maybe not because you're a younger man than I am. Once you know what happened in real life, this movie will hit so hard. I love Tarantino's vision of what could have happened instead.
Watching this film in theaters and that ending scene made me realize that I might’ve overthought the meaning of Inglorious Bastards thinking It was a social commentary!!!
yeah Tarantino just likes movies that give you what you (or he) want to see, cathartic over-the-top violence, revenge, ridiculous amounts of gore, explosions, violence, close-ups of women's feet (okay that's mostly him)... imagine being a famous well-respected filmmaker and thinking "gee, I really hate those fuckers who killed Sharon Tate. I think I'll make a 3 hour movie where I get to brutally murder them all on screen just for shits and giggles." Pretty sure this was how he came up with the end to this, and to Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained, as well.
I don’t think this can be appreciated as much by those who don’t know anything about the Manson family and what happened to Sharon Tate. The whole time your watching, your enjoying it, but you know that something horrible is supposed to go down at some point and it gives you anxiety. And then well, Tarantino does what he does….
Tarantino knew the real story and set out to make as much of it right as he could. Even Clem Grogan, the weird hippie Cliff beats up, was a real person. He helped to murder a ranch hand and stuntman called Shorty Shea on Manson's orders, so stuntman Cliff gets a little back. The more you know about the real events, the more you realize the killers deserved everything they got.
Quentin Tarantino is a lunatic. But, he's arguably one of the greatest directors in the history of Hollywood, perhaps in the top 10. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿
A stuntman and a war hero...not someone you want to take on! Loved the movie, especially Brad Pitt's role. Thanks for reacting to this - fantastic job, as always!!!
Not as fun making films about a culture systematically self destroying a society in once beautiful city as it was making films about a brave and noble culture building a great society in a beautiful land
@@philtanics1082brave and noble? Are you for real? Some of the most heinous killers roamed the west. The expansion west was spurred by pure greed. Thoughtless thugs who would not think twice about murdering someone over a card game or for any other stupid reason. Nobel?? LOL.
It's frustrating to watch someone react to this movie when they don't recognize ANY of the many references to old Hollywood, TV shows, and especially the Manson Family/Tate murders. I wish there was a handbook that people could read before watching this so that they at least wouldn't be entirely in the dark.
The meaning of the movie is what would have happen if Charles Manson ( group of kids) didn't kill the famous people next door to Ricks house. You should check the actual murder case that inspired this movie.
Bro you’re not a has been ,,. Remember that Covid lockdown boomed TH-cam to unimagimed numbers becasue everyone was kicked inside for 6-12 months, don’t look at those past numbers , you’re still great and offer awesome content , keep pushing and putting out content and you’ll never crash.
And now it's time for Grindhouse, which is a 2007 film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, presented as a double feature. It combines Rodriguez's Planet Terror, a horror comedy, and Tarantino's Death Proof, an action thriller.
There's a scene where Margot Robbie (Sharon) goes to a bookstore and purchases a copy of "Tess of the d'urberville " as a gift for her husband Roman Polanski, who adapted into a movie 10 years later. There's a dediction to his murdered wife Sharon. I don't remember if it was at the beginning or end of the film.
38:05 The historical significance of this masterpiece was utterly lost on you. In real life, the "neighbor" (Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie) and everyone in HER house was brutally murdered by the Manson family (who were all living rent-free on George Spahn's ranch - played by Bruce Dern). The brilliance of the movie was Tarantino's alternate ending. In reality, there was no Rick Dalton or Cliff Booth (although the characters were loosely based on Bert Reynolds and HIS stunt double) to save the beautiful Sharon Tate- who was as gorgeous as Margot Robbie but not as successful of an actress. She was on her way to becoming a success, though- appearing on The Tonight Show and being praised by Johnny Carson shortly before the murders. On the night of August 8, 1969, Tex Watson took Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel to 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles, California. Watson claims Charles Manson had instructed him to go to the house and "totally destroy" everyone in it and to do it "as gruesome as you can"!" Manson told the women to do as Watson instructed them. The occupants of the house at Cielo Drive that evening were Sharon Tate, who was 8 1/2 months pregnant and the wife of film director Roman Polanski, who was in Europe making a movie on that night (which saved his life); her friend and former lover Jay Sebring, a noted celebrity hairstylist; Polanski's friend Wojciech Frykowski; and Frykowski's girlfriend Abigail Folger, heiress to the Folgers coffee fortune and daughter of Peter Folger. Also present on the property were William Garretson, the caretaker, and his friend Steven Parent. In reality, ALL of them were violently murdered. In the movie, they were all saved by the fictional Cliff and Rick. In Tarentino's alternate ending, the murderers went to the wrong house. Music producer Quincy Jones was a friend of Sebring who had planned to join him that evening but did not go.
Hi Mr V, how u doing. Hope you get your car sorted. Mines just had its mot it passed so good for another 12 months. This film looks like it's gonna be good. Hugs to Bella and love to you and your family ❤
The little blue car that Pitt's driving, is a VW Karman-Ghia convertible: may even be the same one that Uma Thurman drove in "Kill Bill, Vol. 2". Spaghetti westerns? HELL YEAH!!! Clint Eastwood, Terence Hill... Muhammad Ali would kick Cassius Clay's butt..." Leo: Muhammad Ali IS Cassius Clay! Oh - as others said about the ending of the film: read about the Mansion "family", and what really happened that night. 😢
I love the twist at the end, was expecting one thing and got the opposite in a good way. Subverting expectations does not seem to work with how most directors do it now days, but this time i loved it.
Love from Seattle! You MUST check out the Charlie Manson story and the murders of 8 month pregnant Sharon Tate and her friends. For those of us who were alive then, you would understand the catharsis found at the end. She was an incredible actress and beauty…taken far too early and tragically. Great Reaction!
Yes, I had dinner at the Playboy mansion. Yes, Hef was wearing his silk pajamas. Yes, Hef asked if we would have our pictures taken. My friend and I, (we were in our 20s at the time), agreed to picture taking WITH OUR CLOTHES ON. No, you can't go there - the playboy mansion was sold. RIP, Hef.
We all feel like Rick dalton sometimes… hard on ourselves and feel like we’re on a downward spiral with no stop. But we always get a boost and a high. Just have hope and we’re here for u man. Hope ur doing well ❤
I loved watching your reaction. I hope you learned the history of the Manson family and what they actually did that night. It will give you a different perspective of the movie. But saying that it was a treat to watch your reactions. I'm in. Will be checking out more. You need to watch Fight Club
In real life Brad Pitt's character actually did beat Bruce. That guy knew grappling and out did Bruce. They became friends and it helped Bruce to start to develop various fighting styles into ONE style...Jeet Kune-Do. Combining the BEST of different fighting styles for various opponents.
@@r.plante2916 It's Gene LaBell. They call him the 'godfather' of grappling. He was a stunt guy and martial art champion. From LaBell and others on the set, Lee was very tough hitting the other stuntmen too hard. Some getting injured. Like in his Hong Kong movies, he wants it to look real. The stunt coordinator says when Lee comes at you counter with a headlock. He gets Lee in a headlock and fireman's carry on his back and Bruce Lee couldn't counter it and was yelling with those high pitched yells he's known for. Bruce realized his fighting style lacked grappling and both became dear friend. Bruce trained at Gene's school to learn all kinds of finishing grappling moves and Bruce taught Gene all kinds of martial art kicks and strikes. They learned from each other and used the techniques into various other movies. But in real life he didn't slam Bruce into a car like in the movie here. He beat him with a grappling move. Gene was a giant man compared to Bruce too.
It's a testament to Tarantino's immersion in film history that he can make the Spawn Ranch scene ominous and scary to someone who isn't even aware of The Manson family backstory in the film. The same can be said for how incredibly entertaining the movie is regardless of whether viewers know anything about the likes of real people like Sharon Tate, Rick Dalton, Roman Polanski, Squeaky Fromme, etc. Knowing that stuff just adds to the layers, but not knowing it doesn't detract from a great story and a wild ride.
The ending is so cathartic because that's how we wished it could've ended. Quentin Tarantino reduced these monsters to an absolute joke. The audience in the theater was laughing and cheering. It was a perfect revenge on the Manson family for what they did.
Also, the final scene where the four people who actually died in real life go out and greet Leo's character, a case of "if only", gets to me.
I tear up every time I see the ending
Me too :’( knowing this movie was just a fairy tale with a happily ever after just stings more
Not only was it cathartic it was also one of the craziest endings ever put to film.
Yup, when I saw this in the theater everybody was clapping and cheering Brad Pitt every time he kicked manson family a$$.

Especially for those of us who were alive at the time of the murders. The memory of them has been like an open wound throughout the years.
My dad loves this movie,he was a teenager in 1969 when it takes place so. They pretty much got alot of the background details right so it felt like a visual time machine for my dad.
I was born in 67, so I can vaguely remember the mid 70’s & this film seems pretty accurate to that general time frame.
You’re killing it with the variety of movies recently!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 glad this channel getting consistent uploads again!
For some great spaghetti westerns, try. "A fist full of dollars", "For a few dollars more" and "The good, the bad and the ugly". They're a Clint Eastwood trilogy.
Jay Sebring (Jim Morrison's hairdresser) discovered Bruce Lee at a karate tournament in Long Beach and got him to teach Sharon Tate karate for the movie she was in.
My wife's cousin is the redhead who Brad Pitt kills at the end. Fun fact: one of her first acting roles was playing his love interest in Benjamin Button.
Brad Pitt on acid had me DYIN'!
Was on shrooms watching this for the first time.
Absolutely amazing ending.
And to learn that this movie is based on real events was crazy too.
@@koberhoads I don't know which ones you are referring to but the scene where he kicks the shit out of Bruce Lee was based off real events. It happened back when I was very young about seven years old. I heard about this stuntman beating up a kung fu fighter, I didn't realize at the time it was Bruce Lee.
I shouldn't say too much because his followers, that are worse than Trump supporters, will raise holy hell.
The Sharon Tate murders was like the 9/11 of Hollywood. It ended that beautiful innocent era depicted in this film. That was the time Quentin Tarantino (this movie's director) grew up in that area. This was his childhood, what he fell in love with - and those real-life murders was the end of that innocence. So this is Quentin's fictional spin on how he wishes it went down instead, so that innocent Hollywood that he fell in love with could live on.
I love this movie so much! An alternate fairytale version of what happens to so many people in Hollywood; a happy ending for Sharon and a quick, ignominious end for the murderers.
Looking at you in front of a greenscreen and not chilling vibing and puffing on ur couch 😂😂😂
this just feels wronga
Oh Damn, My Two Favourite Leo’s Together! 😄 Much Love My G ✌️❤️👊
Is everyone alright? Well, the hippies aren't. That's for damn sure.
So sad this isn’t how things really turned out for Sharron💜 interesting take on how a simple turn of a single event can domino down a series of others .
(5:02) The song Behind the Green Door, which was originally about the green door of a speakeasy, is where the Mitchell brothers got the title for the porno film Behind the Green Door, which was actually a good movie as far as pornos go.
This was easily the best feel good movie of the year! Anyone watching this show, needs to have a basic knowledge of the Manson Family to really enjoy the movies brilliance! To me the ending was so amazing, how one last time Cliff was Rick Dalton's stand in for a dangerous stunt.
Fun fact, the guys who played Bruce Lee in this movie is the same guy who voiced Lo Wang in the game Shadow Warrior 3!
...or so the Germans would have us believe.
@@porflepopnecker4376 wtf
I loved your expression when the violence started. Like you didn’t know it was a Terintino movie.
I always get a little sad when I think about the George Spawn role, which was originally cast for Burt Reynolds, and then he passed away before filming.
Pitbull gets to do the scary pitbull things and is still a good dog. Then The flamethrower comes out, and you know it's a Tarantino flick.
I love this movie and as other commenters here have said, the ending was very cathartic. I wish it had gone that way in real life.
I love how current Hollywood "It" girl, Sydney Sweeney is in this movie for a few times. You show her at 26:37, with her being one of the Manson girls.
Yes so glad she’s having her moment to shine
Leo, have you heard about Charles Manson and the Manson family murders? Maybe not because you're a younger man than I am. Once you know what happened in real life, this movie will hit so hard. I love Tarantino's vision of what could have happened instead.
He was right, Rick was one pool party away from being invited up
Watching this film in theaters and that ending scene made me realize that I might’ve overthought the meaning of Inglorious Bastards thinking It was a social commentary!!!
yeah Tarantino just likes movies that give you what you (or he) want to see, cathartic over-the-top violence, revenge, ridiculous amounts of gore, explosions, violence, close-ups of women's feet (okay that's mostly him)... imagine being a famous well-respected filmmaker and thinking "gee, I really hate those fuckers who killed Sharon Tate. I think I'll make a 3 hour movie where I get to brutally murder them all on screen just for shits and giggles." Pretty sure this was how he came up with the end to this, and to Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained, as well.
I don’t think this can be appreciated as much by those who don’t know anything about the Manson family and what happened to Sharon Tate. The whole time your watching, your enjoying it, but you know that something horrible is supposed to go down at some point and it gives you anxiety. And then well, Tarantino does what he does….
Tarantino knew the real story and set out to make as much of it right as he could. Even Clem Grogan, the weird hippie Cliff beats up, was a real person. He helped to murder a ranch hand and stuntman called Shorty Shea on Manson's orders, so stuntman Cliff gets a little back. The more you know about the real events, the more you realize the killers deserved everything they got.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! ABOUT TO ENJOY YOUR REACTIONS BRO! ROCK AND ROLL!
Quentin Tarantino is a lunatic. But, he's arguably one of the greatest directors in the history of Hollywood, perhaps in the top 10. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿
I had that the ending had everyone cheering in the theater!
The daughter from Kill Bill played the hippie that sold Brad Pitts character the acid cigarette
Wow, thanks for that bit of trivia 😊
Only Leo would be concerned with the healthcare plan of the Manson family!! 🤣😂😂
i love how he has no idea it was charles manson and his cult.
A stuntman and a war hero...not someone you want to take on! Loved the movie, especially Brad Pitt's role. Thanks for reacting to this - fantastic job, as always!!!
HAHAHA YOU GOT ME HOWLING asking for "SHOW ME SOME ID" and then he asks her for it. lolololol
U said in the video u feel usless. Ur far from brother u make ppls day when u upload. Keep moving forward and the ppl that matter will stay close ❤️
also a footnote, you know you're going to hell when you burn in water, LOL
Far more shoot outs and unaliveing in one year in Chicago, than ALL the years of Cowboy history ~
And that's a fact, JACK!
Not as fun making films about a culture systematically self destroying a society in once beautiful city as it was making films about a brave and noble culture building a great society in a beautiful land
@@philtanics1082brave and noble? Are you for real? Some of the most heinous killers roamed the west. The expansion west was spurred by pure greed. Thoughtless thugs who would not think twice about murdering someone over a card game or for any other stupid reason. Nobel?? LOL.
The difference between you and I is, you were like this 😮 at the end of the movie......I was like this......😂
Tarantino is One of the greatest Story Tellers of our time. This man has nothing but banger @#$ movies
Speaking of Spaghetti Westerns, Leo you should watch The Good, The Bad and The Ugly starring Clint Eastwood. Italian cinema with an American cast.
Well, Fistful of Dollars first
It's frustrating to watch someone react to this movie when they don't recognize ANY of the many references to old Hollywood, TV shows, and especially the Manson Family/Tate murders. I wish there was a handbook that people could read before watching this so that they at least wouldn't be entirely in the dark.
Your editing is dope
So dope he can't even de-squish his pirated copy of the film.
The meaning of the movie is what would have happen if Charles Manson ( group of kids) didn't kill the famous people next door to Ricks house. You should check the actual murder case that inspired this movie.
Don't knock those old tv westerns, Leo. The Rifleman is goated.
Chuck Connors was one BAMF.
Bro you’re not a has been ,,. Remember that Covid lockdown boomed TH-cam to unimagimed numbers becasue everyone was kicked inside for 6-12 months, don’t look at those past numbers , you’re still great and offer awesome content , keep pushing and putting out content and you’ll never crash.
I’m literally watching this movie right now! It’s one of my favorites!
And now it's time for Grindhouse, which is a 2007 film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, presented as a double feature. It combines Rodriguez's Planet Terror, a horror comedy, and Tarantino's Death Proof, an action thriller.
There's a scene where Margot Robbie (Sharon) goes to a bookstore and purchases a copy of "Tess of the d'urberville " as a gift for her husband Roman Polanski, who adapted into a movie 10 years later. There's a dediction to his murdered wife Sharon. I don't remember if it was at the beginning or end of the film.
One of the best flicks to come out in recent memory
Evening Mr video that was wild but dope At the same time Oh my word .
38:05 The historical significance of this masterpiece was utterly lost on you. In real life, the "neighbor" (Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie) and everyone in HER house was brutally murdered by the Manson family (who were all living rent-free on George Spahn's ranch - played by Bruce Dern). The brilliance of the movie was Tarantino's alternate ending. In reality, there was no Rick Dalton or Cliff Booth (although the characters were loosely based on Bert Reynolds and HIS stunt double) to save the beautiful Sharon Tate- who was as gorgeous as Margot Robbie but not as successful of an actress. She was on her way to becoming a success, though- appearing on The Tonight Show and being praised by Johnny Carson shortly before the murders. On the night of August 8, 1969, Tex Watson took Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel to 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles, California. Watson claims Charles Manson had instructed him to go to the house and "totally destroy" everyone in it and to do it "as gruesome as you can"!" Manson told the women to do as Watson instructed them. The occupants of the house at Cielo Drive that evening were Sharon Tate, who was 8 1/2 months pregnant and the wife of film director Roman Polanski, who was in Europe making a movie on that night (which saved his life); her friend and former lover Jay Sebring, a noted celebrity hairstylist; Polanski's friend Wojciech Frykowski; and Frykowski's girlfriend Abigail Folger, heiress to the Folgers coffee fortune and daughter of Peter Folger. Also present on the property were William Garretson, the caretaker, and his friend Steven Parent. In reality, ALL of them were violently murdered. In the movie, they were all saved by the fictional Cliff and Rick. In Tarentino's alternate ending, the murderers went to the wrong house. Music producer Quincy Jones was a friend of Sebring who had planned to join him that evening but did not go.
William Garrettson was not murdered. He was in the guest house when it all happened. Steven Parent was murdered in his car.
34:37 the low key diss on Austin Butler is hilarious. Hottest actor in the world right now. “Knock-off Keanu Reeves” ouch
MR.Video., I watch you time to time and I enjoyed this.
Thanks 👍
This movie grows on you with every re watch for sure all the great ones do
Probably me favourite modern fairy tale. The ending gets me. Tear up but smile
Hi Mr V, how u doing. Hope you get your car sorted. Mines just had its mot it passed so good for another 12 months. This film looks like it's gonna be good. Hugs to Bella and love to you and your family ❤
This movie has infinite rewatchability it just gets better each time.
Brandy is the true MVP of this movie 🐶
The little blue car that Pitt's driving, is a VW Karman-Ghia convertible: may even be the same one that Uma Thurman drove in "Kill Bill, Vol. 2".
Spaghetti westerns? HELL YEAH!!! Clint Eastwood, Terence Hill...
Muhammad Ali would kick Cassius Clay's butt..."
Leo: Muhammad Ali IS Cassius Clay!
Oh - as others said about the ending of the film: read about the Mansion "family", and what really happened that night. 😢
Hi Mr Video god bless you
I love the twist at the end, was expecting one thing and got the opposite in a good way. Subverting expectations does not seem to work with how most directors do it now days, but this time i loved it.
Love from Seattle! You MUST check out the Charlie Manson story and the murders of 8 month pregnant Sharon Tate and her friends. For those of us who were alive then, you would understand the catharsis found at the end. She was an incredible actress and beauty…taken far too early and tragically. Great Reaction!
Yes, I had dinner at the Playboy mansion. Yes, Hef was wearing his silk pajamas. Yes, Hef asked if we would have our pictures taken. My friend and I, (we were in our 20s at the time), agreed to picture taking WITH OUR CLOTHES ON. No, you can't go there - the playboy mansion was sold. RIP, Hef.
This is the Manson murders story with a happy ending
I love your reactions,. my friend. Great work!
This Movie was a love letter to two Hollywood icons buddies, Burt Reynolds & Hal Needham.
We all feel like Rick dalton sometimes… hard on ourselves and feel like we’re on a downward spiral with no stop. But we always get a boost and a high. Just have hope and we’re here for u man. Hope ur doing well ❤
everybody in the theater when the flamethrower shows up; 'NO FUCKING WAY.!'
Woo! Time for another great reaction!
Great reaction like always 10/10 speaking of which maybe check out There Will Be Blood
First time i saw that one I nearly died laughing to the ending it was so good!
Try Surfs Up! You would love Chicken Joe!
Tex is currently 78 and still in prison for murder.
And he also got to get married, have sex and get his stupid wife knocked up and has his children living. But murdering Sharon Tate and her baby.
you did great, enjoyed your reaction😊
I loved watching your reaction. I hope you learned the history of the Manson family and what they actually did that night. It will give you a different perspective of the movie. But saying that it was a treat to watch your reactions. I'm in. Will be checking out more.
You need to watch Fight Club
In real life Brad Pitt's character actually did beat Bruce.
That guy knew grappling and out did Bruce.
They became friends and it helped Bruce to start to develop various fighting styles into ONE style...Jeet Kune-Do. Combining the BEST of different fighting styles for various opponents.
Um, who exactly was this?
@@r.plante2916 It's Gene LaBell. They call him the 'godfather' of grappling.
He was a stunt guy and martial art champion.
From LaBell and others on the set, Lee was very tough hitting the other stuntmen too hard. Some getting injured. Like in his Hong Kong movies, he wants it to look real.
The stunt coordinator says when Lee comes at you counter with a headlock.
He gets Lee in a headlock and fireman's carry on his back and Bruce Lee couldn't counter it and was yelling with those high pitched yells he's known for.
Bruce realized his fighting style lacked grappling and both became dear friend. Bruce trained at Gene's school to learn all kinds of finishing grappling moves and Bruce taught Gene all kinds of martial art kicks and strikes. They learned from each other and used the techniques into various other movies.
But in real life he didn't slam Bruce into a car like in the movie here. He beat him with a grappling move. Gene was a giant man compared to Bruce too.
@@r.plante2916Judo Gene Labelle
Dude read up on the Manson Family. This is a whole other movie when you know that story
That is a 1960s Volkswagen karman ghia
That car that Brad Pitt was driving is a 58 Porsche boxster. It is extremely dope
I thought it was a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia
Just started watching ur reactions so real and just like mine new subscriber keep it up man!
I want a full “Cliff Boothe” movie. My favorite Brad Pitt character to date.
Read the novelization, it goes heavily into his background.
It's a testament to Tarantino's immersion in film history that he can make the Spawn Ranch scene ominous and scary to someone who isn't even aware of The Manson family backstory in the film. The same can be said for how incredibly entertaining the movie is regardless of whether viewers know anything about the likes of real people like Sharon Tate, Rick Dalton, Roman Polanski, Squeaky Fromme, etc. Knowing that stuff just adds to the layers, but not knowing it doesn't detract from a great story and a wild ride.
