[@OllieByGolly]

As someone who grew up with horror of the Manson Family murders, the sense of dread growing through the movie (especially during the last act after Dalton and Booth returned from Italy) was almost unbearable. With only a few lines of dialog, Margot Robie's acting at Tarantino's direction made me fall in love with the Sharon Tate character.

[@ddesign63]

It was awful. Set this country down the nasty path it’s been on for decades.

[@daveyjonez6820]

This was actually my favorite part of the movie, and I constantly use this scene as an example of how good Leo is, and how much he deserved the Oscar for this movie. We all love Brad, and I'm glad he won, but he was still kinda just being Brad. Leo played a role completely different to not only his real life personality, but also to any character he's played previously. In that scene he's a great actor playing as a bad actor, who's fighting with everything he's got to be a good actor, but failing. It's an incredible scene, and I'm just happy to read this comment and know that I haven't been the only one saying this for two years...

I am old enough to remember the Sharon Tate murder. It was, as was said, horrific. The press spared no ink in describing in great detail what happened to that poor woman.I went to see the movie with friends not knowing what it was about. My sense of dread increased when I realized what was unfolding. I sat there with my hands ready to cover me eyes and my forefingers ready to place in my ears as I contemplated how graphically Tarantino would portray the evisceration of Sharon Tate. The sense of relief I experienced was enormous. Once upon a time indeed. If only it could have ended that way in real life.

It just hit me now that the scene with Clem fixing the tire was foreshadowing. We thought Cliff was going to get hurt because everything on screen and all we know of history said so, and the Family had the upper hand when the tire was punctured, but Cliff had preparedness and his ability to fight on his side, despite not being on home turf. Then he didn't have a knife handy, but he had a can of dog food and a well-trained dog, and his skills and training were still there even when high.

I went to see this movie thinking it was going to be an actual retelling of the Manson murders I remember so well at the time in the early 70s. Seeing Tarantino's "Happy Ending" version came as a total shock -- and it was an incredible psychological experience. I went from the dread of seeing the anticipated horrific true retelling of the story to the fictional/fantasy "Hollywood Ending" version...and, to use a 60s expression -- it completely "blew my mind"!!! Not since "Pulp Fiction" or "The Sixth Sense" was I so completely "had"! Pure entertaining brilliance, thought-provoking as Hell, and a cinematic tour de force. Best film of the year--oh...what the Hell..."of the decade"!!!

“We feel rescued from having to witness these deaths”. You are so right, I was dreading the ending, I was enjoying myself so much but when that night arrived I almost turned the movie off. I had read the novel Helter Skelter by Vincent Bougliousi, the attorney who prosecuted Manson and the family, and I knew what to expect, so I was not anticipating the murders. They were gruesome in the book, so I thought that actually watching it on screen would be too much. Having said that, I was cheering like gang busters when the would be assassins were getting killed one by one. And you’re so right that at the end all you feel is such a profound sadness knowing what really happened.
