Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - (First Time Watching) REACTION

Hi guys, Danny and Niamh back again! Today we are watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for the first time.
An instant classic we both loved it. The dark source material, the unique Tarantino style was as hilarious as it was shocking - and this was Niamh's first experience of a Tarantino film.
We hope you enjoy our reaction as much as we enjoyed the film!
If you liked this video please leave a like and a comment, and of course subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and want to see more!

Sharon Tate's sister Debra loved Margot Robbie's performance. Debra says that she cried because Margot Robbie had sounded so much like her. "I actually got to see my sister again, nearly 50 years later..." Tarantino spent three days in Debra's home town so that she could read the script and they could discuss it.

[@CoyzyMovieNight]

That's amazing! 🥹

[@placebo5466]

Watching someone who is feet phobic, sit through a Tarantino movie is way more entertaining than I thought it'd be.

Brat Pitt got the Oscar for the supporting lead . Well deserved .. check out his Oscar Speech! I shed real tears and stood and cheered in my living room that night . I was so happy for him . Loved this film so much ..

[@captaincran3940]

Your comment at 31:51 perfectly captures what I feel the whole point of the movie is. You know that you're watching a movie within a movie, but Leo's performance is so good, you momentarily forget that there is a film crew around him and you find yourself in the moment, caught up in the drama of the evil cowboy and the little girl...even though you KNOW it's fake. In that moment, you believe it. Then once Tarantino shows you how the magic of cinema can work, he performs the movie's intended trick and makes you forget that Sharon died, and thereby for the briefest moment brings her back to life with that same magic. It's really quite amazing when you think about it. Great reaction, btw. You guys have a great vibe.

[@CoyzyMovieNight]

Beautifully put! Thanks for that. What a lovely tribute to Sharon the whole movie was.

[@JO-qd2bv]

I love the fact that, while he is in the middle of playing a role where he is an actor playing a role, he had to then deliberately act poorly (in the first scene where he overdoes it) and then act really well in the second scene where he nails it. And everybody recognizes it. To be able to moderate his own ability so well at that movie-within-a-movie level in that scene is why DiCaprio is so good.

[@roll2ones]

@@JO-qd2bvFr it’s crazy how you can genuinely tell the difference, his acting is incredible

[@nw10101]

Maybe the saddest happy ending in cinema. Once Upon a Time indeed...

[@CoyzyMovieNight]

Totally - really touching end when you realise what actually transpired that night.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

Don't know if you guys caught it, but the guy Cliff fights and throws into the side of the car was supposed to be Bruce Lee. There's been a lot of recent stuff about Manson I haven't read, but the version I grew up with was, although they had no legal contract, Charlie felt that the Beach Boys' producer, Terry Melcher, owed him money for a song, so he went to the house looking for him. When he discovered he wasn't living there anymore (back then the average person had no way to find you if you didn't want to be found), he kind of snapped (there was a lot more to it, of course, but I guess that was the catalyst). I love that it's the only time we see Manson in this movie because A: he was a narcissist and egomaniac, and it probably would've pissed him off something fierce, and B: in Tarantino's reality they f up and go to the wrong house anyway. It wasn't my favorite of his films, but I thought it was decent. The last 20 minutes was everything. 😂

[@barblessable]

Yes ,Cliff refers to him as Kato ,which is a nod to the Pink Panther movies where Burt Kwouk plays Kato inspector Clouseau's Chinese butler/valet .

I was excited to see a younger reactor who knows some of the backstory, and I was amused to see her not “recognize” Charles Manson when he came to the Sharon’s house earlier in the movie looking for the previous owner. That recognition would have enriched the movie for her a little bit.

[@CoyzyMovieNight]

Thank you very much for watching! Niamh here, unfortunately that was something I realised in hindsight! I found the movie quite overwhelming, and I didn’t know as much as may have been required about the ‘Manson’ story - it was a lot to take in. But when I did put it together later, my mind was blown! I found myself researching a lot afterwards 😂 What an insane movie. Thanks for your comment ❤️ it’s much appreciated

when Cliff first sees the manson girls cross the street @11:05 is when I got nervous about the script because they did kill a stuntman at the ranch

So as the Beach Boys connection is told... Nov 2017: "In the summer of 1968, a year before Charles Manson orchestrated seven brutal murders, he insinuated himself into a strange relationship with an unlikely source: The Beach Boys. Manson, who died in prison on Sunday at the age of 83, met the band's drummer, Dennis Wilson, after Wilson picked up and drove home two female hitchhikers who happened to be living in Manson's cult, known as his "family." Dianne Lake, a member of the "family" who wasn't involved in the murders, described in a recent memoir how Manson's ability to "captivate" Wilson, a famous musician, went on to "validate more and more" Manson's status as the leader of their cult. "Dennis and Charlie hit it off right away, which is not surprising, given Charlie’s skills at ingratiating himself with strangers," Lake wrote. "Dennis, in no rush to leave, hung out for a while, smoked some pot with Charlie, and listened a bit to Charlie's songs." As The Washington Post notes, days after their first meeting, Manson and the "family" moved into Wilson's home, where they all dropped acid and participated in group sex, before gonorrhea began to spread through the collective. According to Dianne Lake, Wilson provided for the group and even drove them all to see a doctor after the gonorrhea hit. The Manson-Wilson relationship came to an abrupt end as the summer of 1968 came to a close. When Wilson took Manson, an aspiring musician, to record at his studio, Manson had a disagreement with Wilson's producers and ended up pulling a knife on them. The "family" subsequently moved out of Wilson's house, but according to Lake, Manson and Wilson would occasionally still see each other in the year before Manson was arrested for his cult's infamous murders. In September 1968, The Beach Boys even recorded a slightly altered version of Manson's song "Cease to Exist," which they renamed "Never Learn Not to Love." Wilson was the sole songwriting credit on the track. "As long as I live, I'll never talk about that," Wilson told Rolling Stone in 1976 of his relationship with the Manson family. Wilson died in 1983 at the age of 39, after drowning in the waters off of Marina del Rey, California." Nov 2017

Dear Miss,Dear Sir,thank you so incredibly much for your great channel and your amazing,marvellous reaction! I really appreciate that! Warm greetings from the Central Europe. Btw - this movie is a brilliant mix - comedy and drama together.Happy New Year and have a nice,pleasant,peaceful time.Take care.

[@ballsyrocker]

Yes, the song was 'Cease To Exist' that Charlie Manson gave Dennis. The title was changed to "Hang On To Your Ego'. Charlie was pissed that they recorded it and took credit by changing the title. LOL I am a Big Beach Boy/Brian Wilson fan for decades .Peace. ( PS If you would show more of the movie and less of you both on the screen, we could follow it with you. Thank you, other than that ,I don't know what the hell is happening in the movie. OK? Thank you. Then I will subscribe to your channel

[@325diane]

Loved how Pitt's character was that high but (having been a war hero and obviously well-trained) responded instinctively to being attacked.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Tarantino added so many references in this film knowing few people would recognize them, especially real names such as Edmund "Eddie" O'Brien, Andy MacLaglen, Sergio Corbucci, actress Joanna Pettet (played by Rumor Willis in the film), Manson Family members Squeaky and Clem (the tire-change guy), actor/director Sam Wanamaker (played by Nicholas Hammond, TV's original Spiderman), and others. The book Sharon buys Roman, "Tess of the d'Urbanvilles", was later filmed by him. The hippie girl who sells Cliff the acid-dipped cigarette played BB in "Kill Bill Vol. 2." As someone who lived during that time and is personally familiar with the horror of learning about what happened to Sharon and the others, seeing Tex, Sadie, and Patricia being utterly destroyed at the end is exquisitely satisfying, as is the bittersweet pleasure of watching Sharon and her friends live on.

Interesting: Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys apparently was briefly a friend of Charles Manson, and Manson wrote "Never Learn Not to Love," which is not a song I remember. Niamh is a reliable source on these things, it seems.

If you want to know the truth about Manson please read "CHOAS : Charlies Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties" by Tom O'Neill. 90% of the people in this were based on real people.

Bruce even stole Ali's "float like a butterfly" dance around the opponent thing. And when asked who would win in a fight, him or Ali, Bruce staight up said "Ali would kill me... hes that fast and twice my size". So this jive of Bruce saying hed make Clay / Ali a cripple, total nonsense.

For You it's the worst and that's valid. But in terms of being an absolute masterpiece there is no close second in his films. And I know that's saying a lot. As he knows (and I know) this is his real masterpiece (though Pulp Fiction is the best movie theater going experience I ever had). When I saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood I enjoyed it but was slightly disappointed and bored but still fully entertained. But I watch it now and pause every shot and ask myself why he chose that shot, the film language, etc. Which I've done for all his movies but for this one it's mind blowing of how great and perfectly made it is. The answers to your questions will be very clear and come immediately even if you haven't studied film. This is exactly the movie he wanted and is almost perfect storytelling, 2nd to only PTA's There Will Be Blood (PTA's Boogie Nights tied for me with Tarantino's Pulp Fiction for best Movie Experience too).

Viewers would appreciate film much more if they were aware of the horrific Manson family murders back then. Sharon Tate and her friends were essentially butchered by those people. Tarantino, as usual, used true historic facts and many accurate details in his films and , in the end, corrects history. Fantastic film. My fav Tarantino film is " Inglorious Basterds," which revises history again. If you haven't reviewed it yet, it is a real good one.
