I certainly do, It's shown briefly in preview in the cinema scene as Sharon Tate takes her seat to watch her own performance in the Dean Martin flick The Wrecking Crew..
I'd read before hand on his face book page he makes a brief appearance. Cool. Then there's a minimum of three "Clint Connections" in this film (Leonardo of course and Bruce Dern). Am I missing any others? I can't wait to see it again.. I may go again soon.. I think it's a film that will definitely reward with repeated viewings..
I loved how all the car engines were so loud on the soundtrack, reminded me a bit of bullet...
That Great Escape bit was awesome too. And I loved those mocked up European movies and posters.. So much to enjoy..
I'm crazy about this film. Just talking about it here makes me need to see it again. I'm visiting a friend next month in Philly and she hasn't seen it, so I was going to wait until then and see it again with her, but now I really want to see the IMAX version ... and now. i can't remember enjoying a movie THIS MUCH in a very long time. (And this coming from someone who really loved The Mule.) But, it's a totally different type of film. It's complete sensory entertainment, and an ending that I can't discuss here, but was just off the charts awesome. Tarantino movies are events. And this is maybe my favorite of his? Or in the very least, right up there with Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction. But even while thinking of how much I enjoyed those movies, at this point I'd say I enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the most. I've been rewatching all Tarantino's films since seeing this, and will be updating the Tarantino Films thread with a new list. While some of his movies do get better with repeated viewings, others are losing some of their initial charm. This one seems to get better. |

I was thinking of seeing Joker but have heard it's very depressing. Great acting but depressing. That's how I felt about A Star Is Born a couple of years ago.
I came out of the theater so depressed. I go to the cinema to be entertained but that film sucker punched me.
Hmmm..... depressing? Okay, it's dark, but to me I left the theater on a high just because it was so great. I only get depressed when I go see a movie and pay for expensive tickets, food/drinks and then the movie blows. A great story never depresses me. I was in South Florida when seeing this movie and the theater there had tables with 5 seats each. It was a small theater, and only TWO tables in the whole place were just the perfect distance to the screen. There was an old man in front of us at the ticket counter, and sure enough, he got one of the only good tables (the other was taken). Not having been to that theater before, I didn't know if people joined other tables, or if that table was only for him. So I asked if we could sit with him, and he invited us. This guy was somewhere between 75 and 85 years old, and he LOVED it. We sat and talked with him after, and we couldn't get over how REALISTIC a movie about THIS CHARACTER could be, and how great the performance was. So, depressed is the last thing any of us were feeling -- we were stoked that it was just so great. |
