The ending to once upon a time is my favorite of all of Tarantino’s work, the film really subverts your expectations with it shying away from violence for the duration of the film. When Cliff goes to span ranch and is surrounded by the cult, you think it’s a classic build up for a crazy violent action scene similar to the bar scene in bastards but it just ends with a punch in the face. He saves a whole films worse of crazy violence in an explosive 5 minute scene that is almost comical on some of the most despicable people in American history

One bit a lot of people miss about the Bruce Lee sequence is that it's doing exactly what Marvin Shwarz described when talking about the concept of The Heavy. Bruce Lee is a well known face, who starred in action movies, and was generally seen as a badass. So when he shows up here acting like a villain, and Cliff Booth kicks his ass, it's to make the audience think "Wow, Cliff is such a badass! Look how easily he took down Bruce Lee!" just like Shwarz described.

[@meialuakampinas]

Not really more of a look at how young Bruce was very cocky and disrespected american stunt doubles by hitting them till they flat out refused to work with him so the studio hired Judo National champion Gene Lebel who also was the size of a bear, after Bruce tried the cocky attitude with Gene, gene picked him up under his arm and walked around with him with bruce struggling like a child.

[@antoinettelopes]

I love this movie soooooooooooo much. I saw it 9 times in the theater which is my record that will probably stand now. I come from a movie buff family and my mom really loved Brad Pitt. She liked it so much on the way out she was like "I want to come back." She never said that before. She was a big western fan too. There is still a standee of Roy Rogers upstairs. All of us who knew the story of Sharon Tate were happy to see the story corrected. I wasn't alive at the time but my mom remembered it well. I consider Tarantino a healer. He fixes the wrongs of history with his movies and it helps people I think. For Gen X beginner film buffs in the 90s, Tarantino sort of became our godfather. He influenced and flat out taught all of us so much. My favorite moment in this movie is watching these icons watch TV. Where it cut between them and Pacino watching "FBI". It made them normal like us. That part he played in the TV, in real life, was Burt Reynolds, who was supposed to play the part Bruce Dern did in this movie. It broke my heart that he died before he did it because Quentin is actually named after one of his characters as his mom was a fan of Reynolds. God is a crappy screenwriter. The director guy 23:04 was the first Spider-Man that I knew as a kid. He was the star of the TV series in the late 70s. Everything about this movie is nostalgia for all of us. It was a love letter to Hollywood and a simpler time before evil took hold. QT made this movie for himself as a fan and therefore for the rest of us. It's his masterpiece of masterpieces.

[@nathancollins1715]

The "problem" with Italian movies, or any movies filmed outside of Hollywood for that matter, is that they were essentially where washed-up actors who weren't famous enough for Hollywood anymore went to die. Or at least that's how the industry perceived them. Spaghetti Westerns had a particular stigma against them in the 60s and 70s as being cheap and inauthentic, and for an American actor to go and star in those movies instead of movies back home indicated that they couldn't hack it in the big leagues and had to do B-movies. It's the equivalent of a modern A-lister suddenly doing exclusively direct-to-DVD or Netflix originals because they don't draw crowds to theaters anymore. Ironically, of the westerns most fondly remembered today from that era, certain Spaghetti Westerns stand tall among them. For every few dozen cookie cutter westerns filmed in Italy, there were a few directed by the likes of Sergio Leone that blew even the ones made in Hollywood out of the water. Public perception of Spaghetti Westerns changed dramatically from negative to positive after their heyday was over.

Also he had wanted to have Burt Reynolds as the man in the bed on the ranch, but since he died Quentin went with Bruce Dern. Brad Pitt Finally won an Oscar and it was for this film. The reason he hadn’t won before was because of Weinstein and how Pitt and spoken about not liking him before so Harvey did everything he could so Brad wouldn’t win an Oscar and since Weinstein was arrested the path was clear for him to win. This film also won for Best Production Design.

The long and gorgeous shots, colorful design, and the classic alternate Tarantino-verse. I especially love that 14 Fists of McCluskey is obviously a movie within the movie-verse, inspired by the Inglorious Bastards, more history Tarantino rewrote in said movie-verse.

[@ReshiramR52]

I was just going to re-watch Once Upon a time in Hollywood when I saw this :)

[@realkingofantarctica]

Just one last movie, and it will be over. Quentin Tarantino has left an impressive legacy and is one of the most prolific directors in Hollywood now. Can't wait to see what his final work will be.

[@chrisvassos1869]

One of the best theatre experiences I’ve ever had.

[@reecer1774]

The Tarantino journey closes so another one opens , Some more Evil dead sounds groovy 😂

[@C0nnie]

He finally did his first stunt himself, and it was worth the almost 3 hour viewing experience

Honestly my favorite Tarantino movie, I’m very excited to see his final work.

One of the greatest Tarantino pictures ever made, and one of the greatest pictures in the recent years. THIS IS THE BEST HANGOUT MOVIE ABOUT HOLLYWOOD‼️‼️‼️

[@theawesomeman9821]

The scene where Bruce Lee acts humbled by Brad Pitt after acting haughty makes me laugh every time.

[@TheAerovons]

Best film I've seen in decades. Saw it five times at the theater LOL

[@twdclementine11]

The best Tarantino movie imo He even wrote his 1st novel "Once upon a time in hollywood" which came out this august!

[@aweaver6895]

Tarantino published a paperback novel adaptation of this that is excellent. Has similarities but also many differences. Much more background and depth to the characters, making it great compliment to the film. Made me love it even more. That being said, the film's last image is one of my all time favorites. Rick walking through the gate, up the hill, to meet Sharon and her friends as the camera raises above them-- gives me chills every time.

[@atti97]

Tom Cruise was originally going playing Cliff Booth, he read the script and he love it. But he was verry busy with Mission Impossible so he left the ship.

[@bobrhubarbtv591]

Is this true? Was Leo still gonna be Rick? Cruise does not look like a Leo stunt double at all.

[@atti97]

@@bobrhubarbtv591 yes that true.

[@Bill-oe6pw]

Then we definitely dodged a bullet.

[@zmarko]

Such a great movie. And it gets better each time I see it. The look, the feel of it is amazing.

[@JamesASharp]

I think that this movie is Tarantino's best film since Pulp Fiction.

[@bones23jones]

Agreed. It's one of the few movies I've gone to the theater multiple times to see.

[@browniewin4121]

I saw this in the theater when it came out, I loved it, such wonderful acting, sets, costumes, filming, and because this was all familiar things from my youth, and knowing what really happened, I was delighted by this rewritten fantasy history, it made me happy; wish it were real.

[@UncleMilo]

Some fun facts: The quote about the devil's business was an actual quote from Tex. The girl who drove off and left the other three behind in real life did not actually kill anyone even though she was there when it happened... and she was the one to give testimony against them. Bruce Lee actually did train Sharon Tate for that sequence in The Wrecking Crew. The song the girls are singing when we first see them was a song written by Manson.

[@TheMovieJourney]

When I saw this at the cinema, I gave it 4 stars. But after a rewatch and a bit more time to process it, I bumped it up to 4.5 stars and had it as my #3 film of 2019

[@bland3145]

Everyone in this movie was amazing. Also I'd like to reccomend you a movie, It's called Midnight Cowboy. It stars Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman. It's so worth it. (the finale of this movie is spectacular)

[@MikeB12800]

Kurt Russell is a fucking legend! Thank you Tarantino!!

[@HeadlessCritic]

Brandon, Four Rooms is worth checking out. It's 4 connecting short films, one directed by Tarantino and another by Robert Rodriguez. Kind of precursor to Grindhouse.

[@magicbrownie1357]

DUDE YOU HAVE TO SEE THE GREAT ESCAPE!!!!! Hollywood classic to the Nth degree. So much of what came after in the action and war film genre owes a huge debt to The Great Escape!

[@tbirum]

Red Apple Cigarettes are the same type of cigarettes that Butch asked for when he went to go and see Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction. QT loves doing little callbacks to his other films.

[@wtfisditvoorbullshit]

Same universe?

[@tbirum]

@@wtfisditvoorbullshit Well there is really not enough to connect them BUT "Red Apple Cigarettes) are a fictional brand of cigarettes and they appear in a number of Tarantino films, so I would say that his films (at least most of them) exist in the same Universe.

[@wtfisditvoorbullshit]

@@tbirum Yeah, people have been theorizing about that. It's interesting and fun to think about

[@damark376]

This is and, I suspect, will always be my favourite film of all time

[@jkorr]

If there's one thing Tarantino hates as much as he hates nazis, its hippies.

[@Bill-oe6pw]

There's no indication Tarantino hates hippies and to equate all hippies with the Manson Family is nonsense. America was so shocked by the Manson murders because they looked like hippies and did everything the hippies were against.

[@Swampthing86]

@@Bill-oe6pw my uncle got angry at some hippies back in the 1970s because one of them spit on his cousin who just back from Vietnam. The hippie spit on him because he was a soldier in Vietnam & he disagreed with the war & took it out on my uncle's cousin. My uncle promptly knocked him on his ass.

[@mrspicytuna2333]

What a wonderful birthday present to wake up to. Thankyou very much Brandon, keep up the great work!!!

[@MacXHammer]

The "Red Apples Cigarettes" - ad in the credits is not just a normal advert... "Red Apple Cigarettes" is a fictional brand that was created by Quentin Tarantino... They appear in "Kill Bill Vol. 1" "Pulp Fiction" "Death Proof" "Hateful Eight" "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and even some Rodriguez movies including "Planet Terror" and "From Dusk til Dawn" I believe... "Big Kahuna Burger" also appears in "From Dusk Til Dawn" besides famously and more present in "Pulp Fiction"

[@RustinChole]

28:20 seriously I could watch a whole movie of cliff and rick reacting to a movie.

[@jmhaces]

I remember reading that the surviving families of the victims for the most part said that they were okay with the movie because they didn't feel it was disrespectful in any way and it was clearly a work of total fiction. Bruce Lee's family did get upset at his portrayal here, though, since he's painted as a showboating douche who gets his ass handed to him by an American stuntman.

[@11Kslingshot]

No joke... all of a sudden there are so many Bruce Lee fans. Just because you have a poster of Bruce Lee in your dorm room does not make you an expert. Then they were saying.... no way Brad Pitt could beat up Bruce Lee.

i know he's supposed to do one more before retiring but he's actually said that this could be his last, he feels it's kind of the best he's ever going to do and at this period in his life he wants to do other stuff than filmmaking. he just got a kid, released the book, and wants to do plays. he said he hasn't completely discarded the idea of making his last film but, that it will take a while before he does it and that if his life goes in another direction he said he'd be fine with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood being his last movie.

The whole movie was a slow-burning fuse to the explosive final act. Having seen all of Quentin Tarantino's films, which do you consider to be your favorite or favorites?
