Django Unchained: Spaghetti Western The Hateful Eight: Spaghetti Western play Once Upon a Time: The making/behind the scenes of a Spaghetti Western 10th Film: Tarantino cooks a plate of Spaghetti
Mawm's spaghetti
@@Kaospyro 8 Mile precedes everything
@@sam4744 starring Eminem, likely.
He cooks the spaghetti in a cowboy hat
Tarantino eats spaghetti with his feet
I can’t believe they left out the fact that Uma Thurman’s daughter played a small role in the film, the girl that ditched the Manson’s.
Also the bride( uma thurman) from kill bill. The daughter b.b is in it. The girl who sells the acid laced cigarette.
Maya Hawke
The icecream girl from stranger things
That was uma Thurman's daughter?
Not just her but they got Kevin Smiths daughter, Clifton Collins Jr, Rumor Willis (Bruce Willis daughter) etc and etc There are a bunch of Hollywood kids in this
Tarantino after watching this: I just made it cause it was fun....
My high school grade 12 English teacher would be proud of this review.....Tho yeah, I think you're right :)..He is a genius though too
Kill Bill is a movie that's just made 'cause it's fun. You don't deliberately make a film about what you yourself consider the most pivotal point in Hollywood history without having something to say about movies.
Na.
no shit.. reading a bit too much into things.
Word. Breaking shit down is mental masturbation.
“But why?” “BECAUSE IT’S SO MUCH FUN JANET”
Don't fuck*ng janet me !!
fucking Janet
"BECAUSE IT"S SO MUCH FUN, JANET. GET IT."
I can't believe that critic said Kill Bill had "no soul" either... to Tarantino... the director which creates films with the most soul that are instantly recognizable as a film of his
@@RhodokTribesman i know right??? but we know that this simply isn't true as a film critic myself, i can happily say that his movies are: masterfully made, have brilliant plots, have clever language and DEFIANTLY have a soul
One of the films Dalton made in Italy was called “Dyn-o-mite” directed by Antonio Margaretti. The director Antonio Margaretti was one of the pseudonyms the Bastards used to infiltrate the theatre in Inglorious Bastards.
Yes
Margar-eeeee-ti
I saw that also.. sadly, it was the highlight of the movie.. 😪
Antonio Margheriti was a real director, which was referred to in IB and now, OUATIH.
Nice. Lol
Rick sums the movie up: "One pool party from the next Polanski film". He was 100% right. That pool party was HIS pool party ft. flaming hippie.
Holy shit!!!!!
Talk about hidden foreshadow
Wow,i never thought that in the end he was right about that one,,pool party" 😂
I haven't seen this film, but why the hell didn't the hippie woman (Tate?), go under water? She's in a fucking pool. Is it some kind of joke?
Damasta HH Steve McQueen was referencing that. In the movie universe Sharon survives and he fucks it up
I keep having those "holy shit I'm 40" moments. Realizing Pulp Faction and Reservoir Dogs and True Romance are all over 25 years old is making my head spin.
Killing Zoe, From dusk till dawn, El Mariachi... When I was 18 years old, and Tarantino was coming big together with R. Rodriguez.
I saw From Dusk Till Dawn in the theater, with my dad, when I was 12. My mom was pissed 🤣
Yeah I'm in the same Boat you are Can't believe that this is the Forty year lol
I'm born in 70. I'd love to be 40 again. Lol! Kill Bill 1&2 changed my perspective on what a good film is. Pulp Fiction too. 😵👍
Amen, brother.
Watching this video during coronavirus outbreak: Tentin Quarantino.
StAy tHe fuCK InSiDE!!
Like what you done there LOL
Walder Frey of the Twins. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Walder Frey of the Twins. 😂😂😂
As he was called in "Boned" by The Twelfth Man.
As a person who didn't really care for the film... you guys make me want to see it again. I think your commentary on the film is spot on.
Jason Ryan one of my all time favourites now, goes higher and higher every watch
I loved the film on first viewing. Di Caprio was awesome. A different role for him that I haven't seen before. Brilliant.
My exact sentiment I got from this video
Yeah I don't think I was the demographic for Tarantino's movie this time. Old Serial killers, male fantasies and classic hollywood, just wasn't that interesting to me but i know there's a lot of people interested in that stuff
@@XDarkBrotherhoodHD yeah, definitely my favorite one from 2019. Have watched it 4 times now and it only gets better. 2019 had lots of amazing movies, but only 2 of them managed to do that for me.
Tarantino romanticizes Holloywood, but his lengthy, novelistic style is actually better suited for the streaming era. Netflix will gladly grant him any budget he desires with no stings attached. The exteneded version of The Hateful Eight, which is essentially the directors cut, is a Netlix exclusive that adds around 40 minutes of additional footage while splitting the film into four 1-hour chapters. The episodic structure makes the film much less of a slog to get through despite its longer length. The beauty of this potential new stage in his career is that he does not have to make a single compromise. Want to shoot in 75mm? No probem, Netflix will cover that. Want to make a 6-hour film? Go ahead. Hell, Netflix will even provide the funds for a limited-run road show. Tarantino's best years are still ahead of him if he can move past the nostalgia of a bygone era.
Tyrone Slothdrop agree!
@MrTical91 I understand what you are trying to say, but it is demonstrably false. Netflix has proven to be a significant cultural influencer in the 21st century. Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Bird Box, say what you want about them, but there is no denying the effect they've had on popular culture. If something is popular on Netflix, you will know it. I don't care what your recommended suggestions are.
Both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time would have been better in episode format... All his movies since Kill Bill have begged this format. Unless he's willing to trim it up more favorably like Inglorious Basterds, then it's going to be a bit of a slog. The problem with both Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time is there wasn't enough time to flesh out the characters. We didn't know much about the Domingre gang to care about their presence.. We didn't get to live much about Rick Dalton's background to care about his downfall. I've been saying this for a while, he needs to just move on and make bad ass short series
@RonBear Fair enough, RonBear. Such an iconic format warrants the correction.
Came here to say the same thing. Now is the time for him to shine even brighter than before. His content fits the current system well.
Here's a tip for my fellow youtube viewers: If the title is ASKING you if something happened or will happen, the answer is always no.
It's almost like clickbait follows a formula :)
The standoff scene as you call it was a "once upon a time" for Cliff just like Sharon in the end. There was a stunt man named Shorty Shae who went to the Spahn Ranch who was killed by the guy Brad Pitt punches out, Steve Grogan. Shorty's body was found buried at the ranch in 1977. If you knew that going into the scene the hairs on the back of your head would have stood up. The relief of seeing Cliff just drive off is just like seeing Sharon live in the end. But before the credits end you realize that both Shorty and Sharon are really dead and it was just, once upon a time. The little "once upon a time" with Shorty parallels Cliff's little flashback in a flashback. In the middle of Cliff's flashback with Bruce Lee is a second flashback of him and the wife he supposedly killed named Natalie. (an obvious reference to Natalie Wood) Does this qualify as an inclusio? Don't know. But still very interesting.
I did not know that, that changes the whole scene completely.
His wife's name is Billie. Her sister's name is Natalie. Hence, there still is a Natalie Wood reference which was ad libbed by Rebecca Gayheart
@@Themin1 Even better, as Billie is not the star to Natalie just like Cliff is not the star to Jake. Thanks for the clarification.
@K9. Jesus Christ. That's the edited version? It's not 'interesting' at all. And his name was Shea.
@@Johnconno Thank you, its good to know the spelling police are alive and well.
Tarantino seems to be increasingly self aware and reflective in his recent films. Writers write what they know so it makes sense to me that he would parallel his personal meditative themes in Once Upon a Time... I hadn't been able to pinpoint what made this film feel so different from his other work and why I still liked it so much. It's great to have a reasonable explanation to put my finger on. Thanks Wisecrack. Keep up the good work.
I hope Tarantino is lying about making just 1 more film .
His last film will be the one he wins an Oscar for directing.
He has stated he has rough outline of TV series.
I mean he says he likes to say that but isn’t opposed to making an 11th film or even going up to 15 he just won’t tell you that because he wants you wanting more without knowing if it will happen or not and he also said he’s interested in making a tv series so he doesn’t have to cut out scenes for a theatrical cut and can include content he initially wanted to and make his “films” 10 hours long and I think I heard him mention somewhere if he makes a tv show it might kill bill 3 how Vernitas daughter grows up and goes after Beatrix for revenge.
Well, he wants to write books/scripts, and has also mentioned mini-series/tv work too. If it's Star Trek I'll be massively disappointed...
Sam Davies he said he’s not doing Star Trek anymore thank god ive heard they’re making a bounty law 10 episode mini series which I’m super excited for I loved the bounty law clips in once upon a time it reminded me of watching the rifleman with my dad when I was a kid
Someone asked Clint Eastwood, “ When are you going to retire”. His response was, “ When people stop watching my movies”....I’m pretty sure Quentin Tarantino feels the same way.
No he doesn't feel that way at all - Sorry dude do your homework.
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Do your homework....Oh yeah, 59 people agree with me.
@@antoniobranch "59 people agree with me" Really this is your argument?? I don't care if a million people agree with you. I was listening to Quentin Tarantino's attitude towards making movies in the future. Are you like a kid or something? Tarantino has plans of making one more movie. I too would love more Tarantino flicks but this isn't the way it's gonna go. To announce retirement then turn around - just kidding it was just a ploy. - This kind of behavior would be weak and transparent - Certainly not Quentin's style, I think we should just accept him at his word. At least he still plans to write and do some tv stuff so not all bad.
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Like I said, "I'm pretty sure", "NOT" sure. Kid.
@@antoniobranch Maybe lucid didn't use the best words possible, but he is correct. Tarantino himself said that he plans to make in total 10 films (he counts kill bill vol1,2 as one movie) so he plans to make another movie before he retires. Also you both talk like little kids, but because you can appreciate tarantino movies. i ll give you the benefit of the doubt :)
When Jules says "C'mon, let's get into character", I don't think it was intended to break the 4th wall. I think that the movie wants show to us that gang members are like normal guys talking about "conventional" stuff like foot massages and hamburgers. But when they are about to go on a mission they have to get into their gangster personality which is to be intimidating, strong and dominant. That's what Jules mean when he says they should get into character i. e their gangster character.
Yeah, I thought that was obvious.
Double entendre. To have an actor say “let’s get into character” in a movie is a very clear and distinct word choice, it’s hard to imagine it being a coincidence for someone like Tarantino who works so much on and is known for his dialogue, and even harder to imagine that it was a coincidence and he didn’t notice the coincidence. Just because it means one thing doesn’t mean it can’t mean the other.
It's an obvious play on that and the fact that they're in a movie. It's both. That's the joke.
Alexander uhhhh duh what else was is supposed to be interpreted into?
Gabriel Coelho no it’s not. That makes no sense. This isn’t Malcolm in the middle
Remember when this channel was Thug Notes?
I do
Miss it :/
I miss my boy sparky sweets phd !
yes it was better
Not just Thug Notes, several other things as well. Then KZhead aka Google demonetised it.
I think the problem isn't the introduction of streaming, movies survived the introduction of television, to me the problem is Hollywood's need to be the definitive movie epicenter, Hollywood not only thinks it's the only place where legitimate movies come from but has an obsessive need for that to be the case, hence why just about every movie not under a Hollywood studio banner, such as movies made by Laika or truly fantastic anime films like Your Name, is snubbed by Hollywood's own self indulgent award show The Oscars, as you mentioned in a previous video. I think what would help film, and subsequently Quentin Tarantino, is to stop Hollywood's monopolizing movies and to free film from the shackles of Hollywood dominance.
It’s just history repeating itself. Streaming gave new power to ideas nobody else would take from nobodies. These nobodies made a name out of themselves because some of those ideas were really good and just didn’t have enough financial support. This diversified media to a very big extent. Similarly to what happened in old Hollywood, risk taking was what gave streaming its power. And I feel like streaming will do the same eventually. It will only give power to those they know and snub the lesser known people with riskier ideas, and then something new will show up.
It's all a cycle and that's life.
Well I don't know I mean parasite is the first foreign film in years and with no Hollywood involvement to win the Oscar for best picture so I don't think you're entirely right about that.
Parasite winning best picture undermines your point
@@skysthelimitvideos No, it doesn't. One swallow doesn't make spring.
He's Tarantino man. Just hearing his name makes me go to the cinema.
I agree!
My prediction: Tarantino will indeed only direct one more "Quentin Tarantino film." Then he'll keep working, but under a series of increasingly meta pseudonyms, not bothering to pretend it's not him but still never being "Quentin Tarantino" work.
He might still write scripts or direct small scenes in others movies like he has before
I believe you are correct he always said he would make only 10 movies this only his 10th movie if you count both kill bills as two movies . In his head he already has one more script written
Tarantino will direct a Marvel film... He should have directed Captain Marvel.
Haha that would be cool
@@toniodotcom captain marvel to skrulls: You are bunch of shapeshifting hillbillies. I'll gut you out like Normandy beach. Talos: who the fuck is that chick. (Close up tracking shot of captain marvel from feet to face) Captain marvel: I am the judgment day.
The neighbors of Di Caprio's character are not "next door", they're "up hill" at the very top with that. The declining star had a solid career but never made it that high, he might be very close but still it's unacessible. For about two and a half hours we learn his past, his present, assist at his rekindling for the craft and have a glimpse of his new futur BUT the only key to be invited to the very top, is five minutes, of sordid news... I saw that strong parallel with his works as a meta critic Tarantino address to the public : he can put all of his passion and care in showing his love for cinema, his films will only be on the conversation because of the gore. So he went in with a burst of furious, visceral violence. "You came for gore !? There it is !! Happy !!?" Viewers were like after the Mountain vs Oberyn fight : stunshocked. But somewhat worse : there is not a lot of people willing to talk about that movie, it took this channel a semester and you're the first one in my subscribed channels ! Now that he said his piece. I guess the next one will be à la Kojima's death stranding : his most unbiased, unburdened of the thoughts about what the public might think he thinks.
it will be the first strand type movie.
@@KitchenerLeslie2 i think you are just tired and confused.
@@KitchenerLeslie2 You are the embodiment of the slavers in Django asking Waltz to speak english.
My wife hated this movie and I loved it. She was actually offended that I liked it so much. And she's an ex actress that has worked in over 60 films and shows, yet she hated Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Go figure.
She's angry because she's not in it, perhaps.
Actors aren't the best judges of film
Mufnstuf It’s a lot better the second time around.
players don’t make the best coaches
may i know the reasoning behind her opinion?
Bloody genius amazing analysis! That was deep!
All I know is I love Once Upon a Time In Hollywood.
They cut too many clips where Margot Robbie was acting sexy. She was barely in the final cut.
POOR EASY BREEZY

@@thamilton8383 What's official? Hahaha
that's why i only watch movies with subtitles so i won't miss one single word
Just because people don’t understand a film doesn’t make it bad! Loved it. 🔥
I absolutely love this take on OUATIH. It was already my favorite film of 2019 and among QTs best for me, but now I think I enjoy it even more. Great work as always!
I deffinately sensed this feeling of melancholic retrospection while watching the film. I think you guys are spot on
"I reject your hypothesis"
I really *really* want Tarintino's last film to be all his characters from his past movies interacting and (possibly) killing one another.
Oh my god this is such a great analysis and interpretation of it! Teaches so much relevant and interesting history that truly explains most of the movies content which is great for all who saw it!
This was one of my favourite Tarantino movies. Thanks for the in depth analysis.
As long as it is not your favorite film, that is ok.
@ it is not really a big deal and in the end i do not really care, but still i do not get who could consider this movie to be his/her favorite Movie. It is almost like, it was the first movie those people ever watched. There are so much amazing movies out there like "Man from earth" , "castaway on the moon", "Lord of the Rings" etc. which are more meaningfull/entertaining.
So early I want to jump in first with my favorite line about this from another KZheadr because it's awesome (and I might get it slightly wrong): Quentin Tarantino has been playing with film canon since the beginning. But now that his own work has become canon, he's begun playing with himself.
That's a pretty cool quote. Do you remember that youtuber's name?
@@JJJameson. I keep getting Pop Culture Detective and Renegade Cut confused in my memory catalog, I believe it's the latter. I recommend both, in any case.
huh. phrasing.
One of wisecrack's best think pieces to date. In some other reviews the content is stretched thin between it's intended philosophy and making it cool. This one has hit a balance between wit, contemplation and perhaps one of the most accurate analysis of the movie and tarantino films in general. Great job @michel
I will never be able to get over the fact Michael was my professor and these videos make me feel as if I am in class again.
According to him, his 10th and last movie have more chances to be some kind of epilogue to his filmography (Been "Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood" the climax) than a big final bang. He looks very uncertain about that right now so maybe he'll change his mind about it, but the final decision is on him. I only hope it's as good as he has been until this point.
Surprising because I wouldn’t call that film much of a climax. I would call it the buildup to the end and an acknowledgment that he will have to say goodbye.
Hopingover Leavesinfall it’s a good film. Come paired to the shit that other Directors and writers put out. Not bad. Just not as good as django, Hateful, THE BILLS. But it was good. And I’m glad he changed the ending. No one wanted to see the Manson family win ! I liked the movie. Because I appreciate movies. And it was a good story.
He just had a kid, so it might be a while before we see another film of his.
Jefferson Sousa i heard he was doing a star trek movie i can't imagine him ending his career with that, though if he dose waita subvert expectations
Lee Phillips oh no. Maybe something to do with space. But I doubt he does Star Trek. That’s a remake.
Jared stans: Is this the END of Michael Burns? - Wisecrack Edition
Leave Michael alone!!! I like Michael
You explained the transition from the Studio system to the emergence of the auteur with intellectual ease. And overall, you make a very strong argument. This whole video is like a very polished , well-written essay. Very nice work my dude!
This was definitely one of the better videos I have seen from you guys in a while. Thumbs up :)
You should have talked about the ending title card, that actually provides stuff that could have been analyzed in regards to this film being an ending to his career.
I’ll ask once again because Jared is back: WHERE IS YOUR WATCHMEN (2019) VIDEO
possibly deserves two videos, one on the subject analysis. Other on it being deep or dumb.
that show sucked big time
It will be one of the most polarising comment sections in months. Can't wait for the shitshow.
@@Pantano63 i cant argue with anyone that thinks it sucked esp if they arent into comics, never read the comic, or never saw the movie. even if they did all three its fair to not be into it, as it was risky just to even make a sequel. i mainly think they did a good job of creating a believable world resulting from the events of the original. the nuances of the characters (like a black Dr Manhattan) are easy to dislike. it was a reach for sure. regardless they nailed the feel of it. and i think they nailed the most important aspects in an homage style of what worked in the original movie without copying it.
@@robi6317 I love the comics and I liked the film, but the tv series sucks and isn't Watchmen.
Wow this is the best breakdown/analysis I've seen about this movie. I think you guys are spot on
I think you're exactly right about his intentions, I just wish the film wasn't so boring. Also that Bruce Lee scene is unforgivable character assassination
@marsjacobvolta you mean the way he could do push ups on his fingers or how he could play pong with nunchucks?
Not really - Bruce Lee was known for being something of an arrogant person and he did challenge others to street fights (his unsanctioned bout with Wan Jack comes to mind), so I can see see him behaving the way he did in this film.
As much as I enjoyed the video, tenuous is the word that springs to mind.
*in a not too distant future* “The number one movie was called: Ass. And that's all it was for 90 mins. It won eight oscars that year including best screenplay"
Idiocracy is where we are headed, that's for sure!
This was literally my exact thoughts following my viewing, not sure if it was covered on the podcast but I am glad it is being discussed
Goddamn what a beautiful analysis/interpretation. I originally picked up on the concepts of him retaliating against the critics of his past movies and I also even picked up on his use of the main character as representation of himself, but I never considered that this was him essentially saying "Farewell" to an almost perfectly complete career. I actually interpreted the opposite, that this film is essentially him saying he's gonna do whatever he wants, but that was before I had the context that he's maintain he only wants to make ten films. All in all, well done I agree with everything you said.
Man towards the end I was really worried for cliff
Has anybody asked Tarantino what he thinks about Scorsese? Still making movies at like 80 years old, and not bad ones, at that. Maybe he'll have a change of heart?
Dayvit78 it’s not about age it’s about the fact movies are losing significants, everyone used to watch movies now the only movies everyone talks about are the ones on Netflix or avengers
@@danielbras5123 Well that's true in that Tarantino (and other directors like Christopher Nolan) decry watching movies at home. You have to be in the theater to experience them the way the director intended.
Actually tarantino has no business talking about Scorsese and Nolan. Complely overrated.
I didn't think that this was one of Tarantino's best films, but every film of his is worth watching. The early scene in Inglorious Bastards, where the SS officer is calmly talking with the French farmer is to me, one of the great masterpiece moments of cinema. The buildup of tension, with calm dialogue and quiet visuals, is stunning in its impact. For that reason alone I will pay to see whatever this master director comes out with in the future.
this video just made me love even more Quentin Tarantino, i really hope that no matter what happens to Technology and Streaming, classic old fashionate dates at the Cinema Endures, theres nothing better than that old enchanting ruin, i cannot remember every Netflix movie and Show i wachted, but i do remember every Movie i saw at the cinema, and how especial they are.
"Sales at the multiplex began to dwindle" Er...most theatres back then were single-screen. There were a few multi-screen cinemas, but they were not the industry norm until the 1970s.
Quentin Tarantino watched 1960s movies and was like "I want to make a movie that looks EXACTLY like one from the 1960s". He did it right! No tricky camera angles or limiting everything to one room or using a setting in the woods or CGI bullshit.
"imiting everything to one room or using a setting in the woods" that didn't happen in 60s movies?
leonardo h it’s a common tactic to make period movies cheaply. Keep things indoor, at night, out in the country, etc. Nobody has ever taken it to the level of shutting down interstates.
Wow, awesome reading of the film. The one I hope most to be true, out of all the interpretations out there. Well done!
Cool think-piece on my favorite movie of 2019. Well done!
i loved once upon a time, its my second favorite Tarantino film, but for the life of me i couldn't really explain why, thank you for explaining to me exactly why i loved this film so much
I get that same feeling too and I wanna know why, I think it might because he had this true horrible story and put these two made up characters in it to save the day
I actually really enjoyed the film. I never thought about it this way, though. Great analysis!
Great content man!!
Great analysis, very thoughtful and insightful.
It's all subjective but on second viewing I came to the conclusion that it was a masterpiece
I just finished watching it for the first time thirty minutes ago. It was absolutely amazing! I went into it blind, only knowing Charles Manson was in this movie
Time is very important happiest and saddest thing in human lives. our 90s generation when we almost 70 or 75 ,We will be remembered all these golden days of our lives .folks that's what time it is ..
Nicely done, guys!
The actor playing Dalton's director was hauntingly familiar to me, even with his grey hair. I had to resort to IMDB, and I laughed out loud when I read it was Nicholas Hammond! The guy starred as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in that dreadful TV show from the late '70s! Awesome that Tarantino cast him!
I've never thought this way about this movie, interesting points.
Tarantino being left behind? If there’s a current director that has more of a buzz around anything he releases, I cannot think of one.
Wow! Really well done. Nice job man 👌
Great vid. I enjoyed it. It wouldn't surprise me if Wisecrack was right in their analysis. And even if they're not, it's good food for thought.
Thank you for explaining what this film was about. I was really in the dark when I saw it in theaters (ba dum tss).
4:10 Do you guys realize that, at the start of the movie, Al Pacino tells DiCaprio that he should go to Italy, because they're "filming a Spaghetti Western that could be something" - but then nothing comes out from it because DiCaprio turns down the role? Since this was early 1969, that means the film was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (arguably, one of the greatest, if not _the_ greatest Western ever created). - Something that would have for sure revitalized his career.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly came out in 1966. So your theory is unfortunately a bit off, but I agree that GBU is the greatest Western ever created. On that point your right on the money!
Dudewat Good, bad and ugly was shot in 1966 bro
Fuck :(
I thought Leo's character had certain parallels to Clint's career.
I think everything you said in your video is completely right because Tarantino does say in an interview that his films reflect his own life. Also, seeing where Hollywood is going now (Streaming as you said) will take a toll on Tarantino's career. Insightful video!
Wow you guys changed my entire perspective on this film thank you for this!
This gave me a whole new perspective on the movie 🍿
I sooo loved this movie before this video. Now after, its one of my favourite of the past decade
sooo good, great job!
Great video!
The darkest scene in this film was the one where they played, "Baby, you're out of time." Seeing a soon to be dead (in real life) pregnant Sharon Tate eating dinner really got to me when I re-watched it.
mark merzweiler It’s kinda like Romeo and Juliet or the Titanic.....we all know the true story and we all want it to be “once upon a time.” Did you know Sharon’s baby boy is buried with her? She’s holding him in her arms.
Honestly thought the reflection on Tarrintos carrer was the main purpose behind the whole movie.
Angrypolarbear16 I agree.
Same.
Love you, Wisecrack, keep up the shenanigans! Also, keep up the good work, auto-correct.. you helped me spell SHENANIGANS
Brilliant work again guys
I liked this movie more than any movie he ever made. His movies always had good scenes but all and all I didnt find them too good as a whole.
You must like submarine movies.

Honestly the only deep read into Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood that I've seen that makes coherent sense of the movie. I think you hit the nail on the head with this one

Great insight. A very thoughtful consideration of a film with ever shifting tone.
Very cool take on the film ! Nice job ! Now i have to rewatch Once upon and watch each movie that it references as they show up in the movie. ;-)
12:18 Interesting choice of a clip to play for Tarantino.

I believe it's also a meditation on how he grew up in LA during that time. I feel like this a memory of how the buildings, films, and year felt to him as a child. To me this was his love letter to his 6 year old self and the year that probably defined the most influence on him.
This is the best explanation that helps me not feel bad about Once upon a time in Hollywood.
This gave me a whole new appreciation for the film, thank you!
the 'has-been' contemplative comment is absolutely about him

Really great movie, also Jared welcome back, can't wait to see you doing these vids again 😊
The last act was a feast for the eyes it completed the movie for me. it was the punchline I was waiting for the entire movie.
Very well done, spot on.
As an avid Tarantino fan, my issue with his later work has been lack of discipline. The man clearly adores film, the lore of his own films, every tiny detail of the world of his films, etc. However, the audience isn't AS interested as he is. Don't get me wrong - I have total respect for the sheer passion he has for building these stories. However, due to the reputation, power, influence, and well-earned respect he has in the film industry, it means nobody is reigning him back when he's deciding what and what not to put in the final cut of the film. Hateful Eight and this film contain 30-40 minutes-worth content that doesn't need to be there. I understand the need to linger on the tension or atmosphere of a scene, but he does this all the time now. It seems that all/most of the effort put into the film is the furniture rather than to pursue a clear plot and story. In Once Upon a Time, there are whole sequences that convey nothing about the story, plot, or character of the film. The driving-around-60s-LA sequences were cool at first, but not when they happen constantly AND outstay their welcome. It's a shame since I love EVERYTHING else about the film; the writing, the humour, the acting, the characters, the detail, etc. It's just SO baggy. Compare it to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs or even something like Django Unchained and you'll see how much this film meanders with so much excess fat that could be trimmed. I have only seen it once however so I'm going to rewatch it and perhaps knowing where the film is going will lessen the sensation of the film going nowhere.
MeanMisterWalrus 100% agree . Reservoir dogs and pulp fiction have zero fat on them , his last 4 movies have been very bloated and self indulgent.
so in essence the movie was just as self obsessed as it felt when i was watching it
Wow, very insightful. Thank you.
This was so cool! This actually makes the movie so much better
