- 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!
We will be doing more movie and tv show reactions very soon! Stay tuned!

54:10 - Review - Zábava
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.
That's amazing! 🥹
As an Angelino who was alive at the time, the Cielo Drive street sign is a jump scare all by itself.
Watching someone who is feet phobic, sit through a Tarantino movie is way more entertaining than I thought it'd be.
Honestly it was hilarious for me too! She really couldn't cope with the amount of feet on screen
Yeah that was gold
Very nice reaction. Subscribed and will 100% watch any Tarantino reactions you make.
It's really great for all the foot festishes out there
@@lilrod20you say it brother, and it's good to say "all" since 50% of the population has one
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 ..
You can so see why! Cliff (or Clint as I kept calling him) was such an intriguing yet wholesome character, Brad Pitt did a great job! 👏👏👏
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.
Beautifully put! Thanks for that. What a lovely tribute to Sharon the whole movie was.
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.
@@JO-qd2bvFr it’s crazy how you can genuinely tell the difference, his acting is incredible
53:06 "the f*cking hippies aren't."
😆
😂
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. 😂
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 .

Maybe the saddest happy ending in cinema. Once Upon a Time indeed...
Totally - really touching end when you realise what actually transpired that night.
Great reaction, guys! It's great to see you two go into this blind, pay attention, understand it, and enjoy it. Very entertaining. This is the first of your videos for me and I can tell you're going to be fun to watch movies with. I look forward to the next one. Cheers.
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.
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
@@parallax3d Thanks for the info! I used to know the story more accurately, but age has brought some clouds to what once were sunny days in the old noggin.
I've noticed that non-USians rarely recognize him.
@@kellymoses8566 Not that surprising. Most USians wouldn’t even have a clue who Josef Fritzl is, and he makes Manson look like a choirboy.
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
Oh wow - we definitely felt that tension the whole way through the ranch scene even without knowing that!
This wasn't the first Tarantino movie I saw but it was the first one I saw in theatres. Boy was it a rush walking out of the theatre after that ending. Enjoyed your reaction a lot.
Thanks so much! This movie was so much fun
Pulp Fiction in the theater was definitely a RUSSSSSHHHH.
Great reaction! I enjoyed watching it.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
12:59 "does he live in a trailer? [unintelligiele] i feel bad." -niamh
😆
😂
If you don't like seeing feet onscreen you might have an issue watching Quentin's films.
😂
INSTANTLY my new favorite reactors. i couldn't smash the subscribe fast enough. Sláinte!
Sláinte mo chara ❤️
Loved how Pitt's character was that high but (having been a war hero and obviously well-trained) responded instinctively to being attacked.
Director Tarantino has a feet thing..loved your reaction
Yes he does! Haha thanks 😊
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.
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.
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
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
Really enjoyed your reaction to this!!! Manson went to the house because he thought a music producer still lived there. I definitely recommend from here checking out "Pulp Fiction" and "Inglorious Basterds"!!
This movie is great, I loved the reaction
If only it had ended like that in real life...If only.
🙏❤
Bruce Lee..ever heard of him?
Yeah such a hilarious cameo, if that’s the right word! 😂
Italian westerns certainly didn't do Clint Eastwood any harm ,though mostly shot in Spain by Italian director Sergio Leone .The house Sharon and Polanski were living in was owned by Beachboy Dennis Wilson.
wonderful! love and blessings!
Thank you so much!
Great reaction.
Thanks!
Use guys are just too suspicious about being suspicious😂
Great movie great reaction😉
Yes we are - always overthinking!

It's nice how this story got a happy ending. ☺
You HAVE to watch Kill Bill. Your misses will absolutely love i! Also, I've always had a soft spot for Reservoir Dogs and I think you'll both enjoy it. Love from Chile! 👋
The scene where he is pointing the spear gun at her while she rants at him is so funny.
Loved how it was left open to interpretation 😂
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.
Also, after seeing the movie in the cinema and then watching a handful of reactions, this is the first time I saw Mama Cass (of the Mamas and Papas) at the Playboy mansion.
You both seem very nice but the fact that you didn’t recognize characters like Manson nor Bruce Lee stressed me out a little bit haha. I stil had a great time, keep it up, saludos desde Chile. 🇨🇱
watch more Tarantino movies. All of his movies are golden.
We will 100% be working our way through Tarantino!! Thank you for the comment ❤️
Guys glad u do TARANTINO'S MOVIES.. Try to react THE HATEFUL EIGHT.. I bet u guys enjoy that too.
Your reactions to the ending are typical men and women reactions. The woman covering her face in horror, the man laughing hysterically.
😂
The Tarantino Touch: a stoned Cliff licks the dog food.
You do get to see Charlie briefly when he comes to the house during the day.
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. "Lancer" and "The FBI were real tv shows. Timothy Olyphant plays James Stacy Star of Lancer. He a had a very tragic life. The Scene having Olyphant ride off on a Motorcycle is a nod to what happened to him.
Thanks! It’s all so interesting
45:27 "not yet." -danny
important distinction. 🙂
It was never going to end well! 😂
You must both see all QT films ASAP. Then PT Anderson.
If you like Brad Pitt films, and want to see another excellent performance of his, you should check out Se7en. It has Morgan Freeman in it as well, and he's always good.
And then, as far as Quentin Tarantino films go, you really should check out Kill Bill. It's split into two volumes, but it's just one long film, and it's a masterpiece.
Great reaction! Keep it up.
Thanks for the suggestions!
@@CoyzyMovieNight Se7en is great, highly recommend. and Kill Bill.
51:05 "can you make it less hot?"
😆 perfect callback
😂😂
people hated hippies, rick yelling at them in the driveway is really the popular attitude towards hippies at the time
The feet reaction is funny. Does she not know about Quintin lol
Haha I know! Niamh didn’t know about Quentin before hand and I elected not to forewarn her 😂 she worked it out quite quickly though - his thing for feet comes to the fore particularly strongly in this one
Hello from Detroit !!! I Just Came across your Channel and Really Enjoyed your Reaction of this Movie. Please more Quentin Tarantino Movies ! Remember Tarantino does have Foot Fetish
Hey! Thanks so much and welcome to the channel! Yes, I couldn't have missed his foot fetish in this one haha
22:41 - Charley Manson coming to the house...
47:43 "he's out weirding them." -niamh
Such a funny scene! 😂
I love the Bruce Lee scene.
So funny 😂
15:40 "Jack! Jack!"
😂😂😂
All of the emotion is supposed to be a hint that he is bipolar and uses alcohol to self-medicate. Notice how quickly he went from crying and depressed at the prospect of working in Italy to being on cloud nine to see Roman Polanski. Extreme mood swings.
wish history was like a QT film.
This was a 100% quiet theater (until the final scene that is)
That final scene shook everyone I’m sure 😂
This may be Quentin's best film or at least you could make an argument that it surpasses Pulp Fiction.
Heys enjoyed the reaction except for one thing. Stay in the two bubbles to either side. When you take up the whole screen in the square it’s annoying because now we can’t see the screen and can’t hear the scene . We can still hear you even if your not in the big square. Stay in the two bubbles. Just a suggestion. Thx
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. We have to cut to the big picture to avoid falling foul of copyright. Sorry if it's annoying
Tarantino is known for his foot fetish, but you would not have liked living in the 60's if you do not like people in bare feet everywhere.
I don’t think Niamh could cope with that 😂
I mean Rick does pay Cliff for his work lol.
10:38 niamh, how do you know so much about manson?
I don’t know that much to be perfectly honest! I’ve had an interest in true crime before, so most of it is just from things I remembered about the story but it may not all be totally accurate 😂
do you take requests?
You both seem lovely and I very much enjoyed watching your reaction to this fantastic film. You’ve got yourselves a new subscriber and I’ll be looking forward to watching your channel grow.
Thank you very much, this is so kind ❤️ we appreciate it
There are bare female feet in every Tarantino film, except Reservoir Dogs.
The man loves feet!
Lets be honest... weve all tried dog food. It smells delicious.
With your knowledge of Manson and the others, you should have recognised the name Sharon Tate and known what happened to here. Knowing that adds a whole dark undertone of anticipation to the movie, which is then subverted. Ah! You did know. Just seemed from the edit you didn't.
Please watch Django unchained directed by Quentin Tarantino
On our list ❤️
Tarantino = Feet. 😆
FYI there is something not right with the audio.
The girls voice echoes and is quieter. Is she sitting next to a wall?
A microphone each might be better. Preferably on stands and closer to your mouths. Might fix it.
Chick sounds lile she's in the room next door
I feel like this isnt the guys first time watching this film.
Not knowing who Bruce Lee is...
One big thing Quentin gets wrong about Bruce Lee in this was Bruce LOVED Cassius Clay / Mohammad Ali. Like, obsesed over him. Would even shadowbox to projected film of Ali. 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.
Very interesting!
It's a fairy tale... hence the title. It's not a documentary.
@@parallax3d okay, whatever makes you feel better
I would try to make the intro a bit more formulaic. A little more well oiled. 5 min of scattered conversation is a lil too much
I love this movie. But the disrespect on Bruce Lee was unbelievable. That criticism of the movie was 100% warranted
It's a fairy tale. Not a biography.
Hands down Quintin Tarantino's worst movie.
I disagree. It's my favorite. To each his own.
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).
@@agitatedmongooseidk how u could be bored and fully entertained
@@Bonobanos oh life's full of contradictions. You'll get there someday.
Great observations and insights..you want weird..Tarantino's brilliant Pulp Fiction..
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.
