That didn’t go how I expected, but it was unbelievably satisfying. Quentin Tarantin’s 9th film is a tribute to classic hollywood, filmmaking, and is an enjoyable character exploration right up until and through his surprising take on the events of August 8th, 1969.

This film had one major handicap right out of the gate, with Tarantino having already shown his willingness to go completely against real history for the sake of something more satisfying in Inglourious Basterds. And indeed, from the moment it was announced that his next film would involve the Manson murders, a ton of people were predicting this exact ending. But luckily, it was still a very popular movie with his fans despite that (and of course it helps that there's a ton more to this nearly three hour movie than its final 15 minutes). It did get some criticism for reducing Sharon Tate to a cardboard symbol of innocence who is a complete waste of Margot Robbie's talents, but Robbie herself was quick to shoot that down, saying she very much enjoyed the challenge of conveying the character's inner life with so little dialogue. It's of course a joy to see Bruce Dern again in his third Tarantino appearance, though that wasn't the intention as Burt Reynolds was originally cast in the role only to pass away before filming started. This also caused Tarantino to cut a scene with James Marsden playing Reynolds (a frequent guest star on western shows in 1969) since with the real Reynolds not in the film there was no point to it. It's been speculated the movie is set in the same world as Basterds, and when the full details of what happened in that theater are declassified in the '70s, Rick will have the biggest hit of his career playing Aldo Raines. We also know he lives to 2023, due to a weird announcement of his death that year by Tarantino that got people wondering if he was gearing up for some kind of ARG, though so far there's been no follow-up to it.

When I saw this in the theater I had no idea where it was going to go and I hadn't made any personal predictions. All I knew going into it was that the Manson murders played some part in the story, but that's it. Seeing this in the theater with an audience was really quite amazing experience. The ending was surprising to say the least and the audience was cheering and laughing and clapping... And the number of "Ohhhh"s and "Oh my Gods😂" that came out of people's mouths when Rick walked out with that flamethrower. It's also amazing just how MUCH of a difference knowledge of the Manson murders makes when it comes to watching this movie, even though there's so much more to the movie than just that. I know several people who saw this movie not having any idea about those events, and they all walked away from the movie basically feeling like "Meh, didn't really care for it, kind of slow and boring. Don't know why we spent so much time with this blonde chick and these hippies, and why they suddenly became killers at the end" And I'm there just like *sigh* 🙄🤦‍♀️ But everyone I know who WAS/IS familiar with the Manson murders before seeing this movie walks away from the movie having had a great time with it. Hence why having that knowledge is so important beforehand 😉

Lots of second generation Hollywood babies in this - Rumer Willis, Maya Hawke, Harley Quinn Smith. But one of my favorite little bits of casting is the girl who sells Cliff the acid-dipped cigarette, who is played by Perla Haney-Jardine -- B.B. from Kill Bill.

HUGE difference. All of the tension comes from knowing the manson family, seeing the hippies and wondering how this all intersects. I felt so much tension during the time stamps on August 8th. That was almost counter to the tone of the film, but present nonetheless. I feel like more than any other of his films I GOT this one lol. Thanks!
