Quote HistoryQuoted: The end made the rest of the movie worth it. That was the best part. In fact they should make a new movie where its just two hours of someone kicking hippie ass |

One of QT's best. Pulp Fiction, Res. Dogs and Ing. Bastards. It's top 5 for sure.

Quote HistoryQuoted: And it feels like it’s 3 years long when you’re watching it. Never understood the attraction. It’s a self indulgent Tarantino flick that’s whole purpose seems to be “look at how cool I can make this retro set look”. I thought it sucked. Never even wanted to watch it. The entire concept felt like they were turning Tate’s death (who was pregnant) into some sort of adventure comedy. Personally I think it’s more interesting that they just happened to pick *her* house & that her husband (Roman Polanski) had wanted her to get an abortion. Yes I think he used connections to set it up. But Hollywood loves their pedos so they’d never do anything to suggest that. Instead, they’ll just make fun of the victims. |

One of my favorite movies as well. I normally have no love for pitty type dogs, but Brad Pitt's dog was hilarious. The dog food was too.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I heard... somewhere that they had the option to use the actual car that was used by the Manson family. But they declined because it was just too creepy. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I was impressed because the real life scum Tex Watson wielded a long barreled High Standard revolver, and Tarantino seemingly had his Tex use the same model gun in the "I know you" invasion scene. I heard... somewhere that they had the option to use the actual car that was used by the Manson family. But they declined because it was just too creepy. It's in the "extras" on the DVD. |

Some good scenes but I didn't care for the overall concept. As in Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino likes to re-write history so there is a happy ending. I know he telegraphs the film as a fairy tale with the, "Once Upon a Time..." in the title but doing it once was enough. What event will he chose to revise next? The Titanic? The JFK assissination? The Crucifixion of Christ?

Easily one of my favorite films. Masterful.
When it was released, I was out on the road and missed all the talk about the film, so I had no idea what it was about. None. I think I went into the film the best way possible: no idea what it was about, and just the vaguest of knowledge about any of the Manson stuff. No idea. It wasn't until I saw the gal walk into the theater past the Sharon Tate poster that I realized what was going on and what was about to happen. Or, thought I did. Absolute mastery of the art. |

Most of the people who watched that movie weren't even alive in the summer of '69 and have no memory or knowledge of the Manson gang murders. I was in high school then and read Helter Skelter a few years later. It shook me up because a young person could meet people like Manson and his followers almost anywhere back then. They were stone cold killers.

I didn’t think it was that disrespectful to Bruce. They both held their own, they both took licks and gave them, and neither came off badly, I thought. But maybe that wasn’t good enough for Bruce fans. It did establish that Brad Pitt’s character was very capable in a fight, which factored in later. He was ex-special forces, after all, so if anyone could have a chance of holding his own against Bruce Lee, it’d be him. |

I’m not the biggest Tarantino fan but that movie was really good. If you were alive back then you know how much attention to detail was brought into the movie. The Screen Gems music really was a blast from the past since it had probably been fifty years or more since I’d heard it. The Spahn Ranch scenes were really creepy.

I think that Tarantino has always been obsessed with The Tate/LaBianca murders. This movie is titled, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", trying to point out that it is a fantasy of how he hoped it would be. He did an amazing job, showing what should have been the outcome of that sad day in Hollywood history. Sharon Tate was much loved and just getting started, so her death was a major shock. Granted, she married a complete freak, but we never had to see their messy and twisted divorce in a few years... Sadly... |

I liked the part where the girl pointed out to Steve McQueen that Sharon is attracted to men who are built like boys. Steve realized why he didn't have a chance with her but also Sharon in real life played a part in her own demise. Her husband left her defenseless, her ex couldn't defend her and they didn't even have a guard dog. As depicted in the movie when the Manson gang show up to a home of men even on a bad day the men can still defend themselves (plus have a guard dog).
Cliff and Bruce: In Cliffs time in Hollywood actors were still played by men, many vets regardless of their own personal demons they could still back up what they were portraying. Bruce really relied on one believing he could do all that he said and now we have 80 pound females fighting 300 pound guys in movies. |

Tarantino is a master at using action and sound to paint a picture of life just as he wants you to see it. I was amazed at the attention to detail in the scenery and costumes. The acting was first-rate. There literally is not a bad performance in the entire movie.
It just suffers from the same thing as all Tarantino movies. It's too dang long, and there are some parts that could disappear entirely without affecting the quality of the movie. I was surprised at the ending. It did make me happy, though. That's how the real story should have ended. |
