  1. I don't remember Marvel ever going after articles for spoilers with Endgame. There were literally videos that spoiled the ending on youtube before it came out lmao And honestly if you know Tarantino the ending is not that surprising lol
  2. Interesting choice by Tarantino to have real clips from The Wrecking Crew in the cinema scene. It kind highlighted how much Robbie don't look like Sharon to me lol.
  3. iI don't rally think it's his most mature film. It's just the majority of the film avoids Tarantino' trademark gory violence and the subject matter is old hollywood.
  4. I felt the ending was just supposed to be absurd. I don't really feel like it was supposed to be completely earned - it was supposed to be fantastical. I do wonder if viewers who were unfamiliar with the Manson family and the murders would find the whole thing ridiculous though It would have been kinda cool to me if Sharon Tate was able to fight back against the Manson family but tbh there are many ways that could have turned out absolutely ridiculous and also insensitive. On another note l I almost feel Hippie is a slur with how many times it was said in the film. It's like Tarantino used it to replace his use of the n-word.
  5. Screams white male fantasy power trip to me. (OMG look this random stunt guy easily threw one of the most know martial arts icons into a car! How cool) It was a funny scene but Bruce Lee was made the butt of the joke for no other reason then to paint Cliff as a bad ass when there were many other ways to do that. Wasn't even historically accurate because Bruce Lee was a huge fan of boxing but it had him trashing the sport. Don't understand why he had such a unfavourable depiction besides Tarantino disliking Bruce Lee or him trying to be an edgy contrarian. Also the exaggerated battle cry came off as racist to me. Funny Tarantino did that to the only non white character in the movie. Even Roman Polanski has a more favourable portrayal in the film. Tarantino is lucky asians aren't as vocal about racism. If he did that to a black icon like Mohammed Ali or something black people would have vocally trashed the film.
  6. I thought Leo was really great in the film, especially in his outburst scenes .He really captured an actor with a declining career. I actually loved the self deprecating scene he had with the little girl. And that girl was a gem honestly. She was a high light. I had to suspend my disbelief when he was shooting scenes and thy were all in one take lmao. I thought his storyline could have been better pieced together, it just didn't flow to me. I loved the Manson family scene, it was so well done but I felt it went on a little too long but it really makes me want to see Tarantino do horror. Brad Pitt was great but I thought his was a bit too much of a Mary Sue at times. Margot Robbie was...good. I loved the cinema scene but I don't know how Tarantino can describe this as a love letter to Sharon Tate. I get that this wasn't her movie but I felt they could have at least given her bit more to do. She was suppose to be an actress on the rise in contrast to Dalton's failing carer and I wish we had gotten to see some of Sharon's view of her rising star, or even her relationship with her friends. I know he was trying to keep her mysterious but I still felt more could have ben don with her. I thought the final act was good....it was very entertaining but again it was in sort of an unbelievable fairy tale type way which I guess was the point. Also I did find some of the violence towards the women a bit extreme at times. I loved the very final scene.
  7. Someone else said this in another forum but most people are saying it was a flashback (which was my interpretation)....I don't know where the daydream/fantasy thing comes from. He was fixing the roof and then had a flashback on why he no longer works a stuntsman for Rick and has to be fixing roofs instead. And as you can tell I did not love the Bruce Lee Scene. It was cringy as hell.
  8. I posted this in the main thread but my posts got deleted. I honestly didn't get the Bruce Lee scene. It just seemed insulting for no reason and an unflattering portrayal of a dead icon. I'm side-eying the hell out of Tarantino for that scene.
  9. I'm just going to say when I was walking out of the theatre I heard quite a few "really slow" comments. Also the person beside me kept shaking his leg as if he was trying to stay awake lol. (this bothered me a lot) So I'm not sure about WOM
  10. Brad Pitt was great in thee film but he came off very Mary Sue-ish.
  11. mmm I guess I only mentioned it because I remember his daughter was complaining about not being contacted.
  12. I went there. There was like 1 posts so I came here We're not spoiling the ending or giving away major plot points so....
  13. what other real life person wasn't portrayed favourably or at least neutrally? Honest question? Aside from the obvious I mean? I'm surprised cuz Tarantino strikes me as a Bruce Lee fanboy.
  14. I wonder what Bruce Lee's daughter will think of the film. She was already complaining Tarantino didn't contact her. I don't think Bruce came off favourably in the film.
  15. Just watched this lol. Our theatre was full. Sorry but the film was so slow and had no plot for the first 2 hours. last 20 minutes were great though. Margot had nothing to do. Honestly that little girl actor had more to do than Margot lmao. Leo had a great performance. Brad was good to but Idk if he'll be nominated over Leo. The theatre laughed a lot and seemed to enjoy it but I heard other peeple saying it was slow. No way this is winning best picture though lmao
  16. I'm not too worried about the film being insensitive. I'm sure Taika knows what he's doing. Like I mean he had Hitler portrayed by a Jewish Maori person we're obviously not supposed to take the Hitler character seriously or think he resembles the real Hitler.
  17. Harriet is an icon though. I think it's more than just a period film.
  18. Idk if this is the right thread for this but it really annoys me when people say Disney has a monopoly in the movie industry, If other studios were making movie people wanted to see it wouldn't be a problem. WB owns all of DC but is struggling to make a superhero movie hit a billion. Universal, Paramount, Sony. It's not Disney's fault they are struggling....
