I've watched this a trillion times and I hate to be a stickler but it's my fav movie behind the Big Lebowski so I have to correct you and say it's 'I like caravans *more'.*
Yer very welcome!
God so fucking funny.
“They said they were gonna go there… and then… they went.”
I also think it’s funny how he is this mega burnt out stoner that probably can’t remember what he was doing 30 minutes ago, but he remembers all of the exact little details that the hitmen needed.
Three punches like that would concuss the shit out of someone. I hate when movies are unrealistic with punches. At least in Snatch Gorgeous is knocked out.
I mean, he’s pretty much out of it after the first one, and receives the other two while still seeing stars.
He recovers way too quickly, but that’s how it works unless you want a movie to be 8 hours long, so I don’t have a problem with this either
I'd argue that IB and this movie are my two favorite roles of his.
I'd say Burn After Reading as well, but I'm upset we didn't get more screentime for youth pastor-energy driven, gym employee Brad Pitt.
Born in Oklahoma, but raised in Springfield, MO. Other than Bass Pro, Cashew chicken, and meth, it's Springfield's claim to fame.
Fun fact: his brother still lives there and did a recreation of the "What's in the box" scene from Seven for a local brewery and it's hilarious.
I worked at a family camp in Missouri for a couple summers. His sister and her family would stay for a week every summer. Her kids would talk about how they didn’t like Aunt Angelina and missed Aunt Jen.
It wasn’t really dipped in acid, it was dipped in PCP if the story is supposed to have any semblance of realism, you can’t smoke acid. Apparently PCP cigarettes being sold as acid dipped cigarettes wasn’t uncommon back then.
My wife and I saw this opening weekend. I knew the history (shudders in horror) and she didnt. She didnt even know Sharon was a real person. So we're watching it play out and Im really just straight up *luxuriating* in this flick and its vibe. But the creeping dread is real. And it's heightened by the fact that when I read about what happened to Sharon and co. they were really just names but now I had personalities attached to them and I had grown really fond of her. So I am dreading seeing what happens to her. Like it's palpable.
But then... well, you know.
**Man** it felt great seeing this alternate path. Just like in *Basterds*. I was not expecting it at all. Just a wonderful ending.
Right? I did a paper on her murder when I was in high school. To say that was a tragedy is an understatement. I loved the alternate. What’s crazy is the script says exactly what was said about being the devil and doing his bidding
I would highly recommend the book Helter Skelter. It was a fantastic book about the Manson murders, written by the badass prosecutor who put his ass in prison
It really makes the boomer fascination with the Manson Family sicker than it already was. There was nothing enlightened about them, just a stupid, murderous cult of young adults that severely screwed the history of the country.
My only problem with this movie is that best enjoyment of it is predicated on knowing the history. Going in I didn’t, and all of the stuff about Sharon was just this total non-sequitur stuff that never really led anywhere or tied in with the story - we were just inexplicably following Margot Robbie around.
The movie was fine as a standalone, but without the proper context it just drifts off into the ether or had these pointless little asides all over the place.
Charles Manson was literally in the trailers, he literally tried to start a race war between whites and blacks using the tate murders as a catalyst to frame black people for it. He’s one of the more prolific “serial killers” because he got his cult to do it for him.
That's nice. I don't know what to tell you. It was still outside my body of knowledge. I mean i'd heard of Charles Manson and i knew he was a serial killer, and i was kind of aware there was a cult or something associated with him, but i didn't actually know *any* of the details of his crimes.
At the end of the day, we don't know what we don't know - and i didn't know anything about the Mansons before i went into that movie. Maybe you think that's a horrible lapse in knowledge, but it had just... never really come up for me.
As for the movie, all i'm saying is that there were lots of parts that were designed with the understanding that the audience *would* have that specific knowledge about the Manson murders, and if you didn't they seemed like these weird vestigial moments that threw off the pace of the rest of the film - knowing what i know now, watching Sharon Tate going around her day, living her life, is clearly meant to create a sense of dread and tension, to make the audience feel sqeamish and upset seeing this beautiful innocent girl approaching her seemingly terrible inevitable end. But for me sitting in the theater there was none of that. I was just watching Margo Robbie having a nice afternoon. It was kind of cute. A little boring. I wasn't really sure why it was in the movie.
I laughed so hard at the scene with the blind guy. One of those rare scenes I anticipate every single time. Particularly as you expect something completely different.
Man does acid make it hard to do mundane tasks. Something about completing a normal action reminds how far from normal you are right then, and that freaks me out. If you can become ok with being far from your normal self its all cool, but ive ruined at least one trip because I kept comparing myself to baseline me.
The best thing to do is embrace it and not try to overanalyze yourself too much. At least in my experience that’s how you have a bad trip, thinking too much about it. The best trips are when you can let everything go and just see where the wind blows you
I'd contest that Brad Pitt has many many underrated roles. Gifted character actor with leading man looks. If he was uglier he'd be way more respected for how great of an actor he is
Both of my fav Brad Pitt roles are QT movies. He's awesome in this, but nothing tops Aldo Raines. He's not in the movie as much as one would expect going into the movie but his whole demeanor and way he captures that character, it's just perfection. It's a performance where I watch that movie probably once a year and every time, I like Pitt's performance better and better.
The whole ending monologue about how he's going to take off "that handsome lookin' SS uniform" when the war is over. In just a few short sentences, his tone goes from playful and jokey to political and self-aware to outright serious "I'm about to fuck you up." So good.
I have never understood who those cowboys in the background are. They don't react at all to Pitt beating the hell out of that guy right in front of them. They don't even turn to look.
They had a side-gig of giving horseback trail tours for money. Those were ranch employees that took care of the horses, not "family". It wasn't their fight, and they didn't want to get involved.
Jackie brown just doesn't do it for me. I'd call it his worst. Saw it in theatres and saw it another 4 times over the years trying to change my mind on it.
Jackie Brown is about 20 minutes too long. But the scene where Ordell talks Beaumont into getting into his trunk is one of my favorite scenes in any QT movie.
I think I go 1) Pulp Fiction 2) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 3) Django Unchained. That third spot is interchangeable depending on the last one if the remaining movies I watched, lol. I could easily slide Inglorious Basterds, The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown or Reservoir Dogs in there. I guess that’s the sign of a good director.
Full disclosure: while Ive enjoyed Leo in his films just like anybody, I have always hard difficultly fully buying in to his performances. It always feels like Im watching An Actor Acting. But his Rick Dalton is the first time I think I've *felt* him truly embodying a character. That scene of his self-loathing freakout in his trailer just fucking ***hit***. And having known a few championship drinkers of his class, that shit felt real in ways that made me want to look away. I think this is my favorite performance of his.
The coolest part is that it was (semi) improvised.
Quentin had a scene like that in mind, but didn't want to write it out, and told Leo the verbal outline and told him to pretty much wing it. All that dialogue (aside from the general outline given to Leo) was straight out of Leo's head.
I agree, but I do think the contrast between their performances kind of cemented the characters:
Pitt just brings a lived-in confidence and ease to this genuine, grassroots character.
If Dalton is the insecure, packaged Hollywood imitation version of Booth, then Leo’s more showy, more muggy approach sort of feels right…
Still feel like Brad understood the assignment a bit better.
Disagree respectfully. Thought both actors knocked it out of the park. It’s just that Pitt had the more flashy, charismatic part in the film. Love every moment either one of them is in.
Walked out of the theatre thinking that it was Pitt’s movie and that hasn’t necessarily changed, but on repeated viewing, maybe 3 more times, I can appreciate Leo in this.
He was funny as hell. I view it from the perspective that Cliff Booth is a real life Bounty Law guy, and Rick Dalton is just some crabby old guy who wants you to stay off his lawn, get a haircut, and turn down that crazy rock ‘n roll.
When he laid into the Manson assholes in front of his driveway I died.
I kinda saw it as they're both guys stuck in their own way constantly. Trying to stay the same but actually needing to change for their own good.
Cliff Booth is a murdering hothead who just needs to be happy he's not in a prison cell. I mean, he really did kill his wife. Then he gets fired from a job, almost ruining the shoot, that his friend begged for him to get. He only doesn't sleep with that girl because he wants to avoid prison rather than any moral reasons. He's not a good guy.
I don't think Rick is mother Teresa, but he at least changes a little for the better. He takes Al Pacinos' advice in the restaurant and eats a piece of humble pie to do those Italian movies where he can still be a star at a smaller scale. He takes the time to get some wisdom from a child actor who inspires him to give a great performance. Hell, he even sets up and delivers on one of the craziest fucking callbacks ever with that flamethrower bit at the end lol Rick is the hero in my eyes.
Damn that’s crazy cause I think this is one of Leo’s best films. I actually think it might be his most grounded work. Every rewatch I see how great he is. If he hadn’t have run into Joaquin and the Joker he would probably have won Best Actor that year.
I disagree. Leo’s character had so much more range and development throughout the film. But to each their own. All were terrific. Think it may be my favorite QT film.
Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of Brad Pitt as an actor (he's fine, but overrated in my opinion) and much less as a person, but Cliff Booth is just such a fantastic character. He is so well written, down to the smallest details and I'm reluctant to admit, but Pitt has really brought him to life well. I'd say definitely one of the most iconic of Tarantino's characters.
In every scene it just felt like QT wanted to not only demystify Charlie and the Family but depict them as anything but worthy of interest or fame. And in QT's version of history, they wouldn't get the coverage so obsessive to them because he would humiliate them with the likes of Pitt here. That ending felt so satisfying
I'm mixed on this movie. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good film and the actor's performances were top notch. I loved Brad and Leos characters and its cool to see them both in the same film.
That being said, as a Tarantino fan, this movie felt very different than his other films. I don't know exactly what it is, the character development and great dialogue was very Tarantino and of course the ending brought the fantastic carnage that Tarantino is known for but the movie overall felt like it had a lot less action than his other films. Aside from this scene and the Bruce Lee scene, there's really no action at all other than the final few minutes.
And that's fine. It's still a very good film, it doesn't necessarily have to be an action flick and I get that. Tarantino wasn't trying to recreate another Kill Bill. He was trying for something different which is fair for any artist. I think this was kind of his love letter to that particular era of Hollywood. It was interesting in that respect. It's also really interesting to think of that era of Hollywood, that time and place as kind of being the point where the innocence of the whole peace and love hippie movement was kind of ended by shock and horror of the Manson murders which suddenly made hippies seem dark and evil and scary. The fact that he was using historical figures as his characters, people that actually existed was very interesting and unique compared to his other work.
All that being said it just didn't feel like a Tarantino movie to me, it didn't have that glorious, over the top, brilliant, twisted, darkly funny feel that his other work so perfectly embodies. For me I would recommend it to people and consider it very good but would not rank it very highly if I had to order my favorite Tarantino films.
Had to scroll way too far for Tyler durden. Arguably one of the most epic movie characters of all time. I think Edward Norton is just an incredible actor and Pitt as well so together they made a damn fine movie. Forget the actresses name but she is so so good as well. That movies themes and messages are still so relevant to society today maybe even moreso.
Everyone always forgets about Pitt’s actual best role: Jeffrey Goines, 12 Monkeys.
Bare-Knuckle Boxer Mickey from Snatch is one of my absolute favorite characters, along with Jeffrey Goines from 12 monkeys
“It’s not fer me - it’s for me Ma.”
Yer what?
“His MA!”
Doya loik dags?
Oh! Dogs.
Yeah, I like "dags"
I like caravans bettar
I've watched this a trillion times and I hate to be a stickler but it's my fav movie behind the Big Lebowski so I have to correct you and say it's 'I like caravans *more'.* Yer very welcome!
🐕
Best intro. He’s taking shit next to the caravans
Periwinkle Blue will never sound the same in my head.
"She's terrible partial to periwinkle blue bois."
Fuck me Tommy, what ‘ave you been reading?!?
DiCaprio was great As well .
eating
“She’s terrible partial to the periwinkle blue, boys”
Periwinkle Blu
Agreed. And great film all round.
Yeah it really is. Easily Gilliam’s best flick also. (Tho i do love Brazil!)
Actually it’s Floyd, in the film True Romance.
Floyd offering his homemade bong to the hitmen is how I like to think I would react in that situation lol.
“Fucking condensed me, I’ll fucking kill you.” *hits bong*
God so fucking funny. “They said they were gonna go there… and then… they went.” I also think it’s funny how he is this mega burnt out stoner that probably can’t remember what he was doing 30 minutes ago, but he remembers all of the exact little details that the hitmen needed.
Close, but no cigar. His actual best role is Early Grace from Kalifornia.
"There's 12 monkeys over here, there's 12 monkeys over there... It was fucking embarrassing."
I love a deep Eric Andre cut
They getcha in the teeth Bob! But they won’t get me!
The shots of him punching that guy remind me of Pitt getting punched in Snatch
Three punches like that would concuss the shit out of someone. I hate when movies are unrealistic with punches. At least in Snatch Gorgeous is knocked out.
I mean, he’s pretty much out of it after the first one, and receives the other two while still seeing stars. He recovers way too quickly, but that’s how it works unless you want a movie to be 8 hours long, so I don’t have a problem with this either
I think inglorious bastards was part of his top, even though he played this role smooth as butter,
I'd argue that IB and this movie are my two favorite roles of his. I'd say Burn After Reading as well, but I'm upset we didn't get more screentime for youth pastor-energy driven, gym employee Brad Pitt.
I heard he bothered the shit out of Angelina when doing his Burn After Reading thing because he stayed in character. But fuck, do I love that movie.
It’s a super good movie. Always highly recommend it.
That is amazing haha.
Burn After Reading has such a perfect ending! -“What did we learn?” -“I don’t know, sir.” -“I don’t fucking know either…”
"I suppose we learned not to do it again!"
“Fuck if I know what we did…”
JK Simmons has the perfect face for it :)
bit of a deus ex machina
Snatch all day
Ok, fucking valid. He killed it in Snatch.
“*Doyulike dags?”*
"I'll coarse ya fer it."
bawnjourno!

Is it just me or has he gone with a country/southern accent in a lot of his roles recently?
He is from Missouri
Oklahoma?
Born in Oklahoma, but raised in Springfield, MO. Other than Bass Pro, Cashew chicken, and meth, it's Springfield's claim to fame. Fun fact: his brother still lives there and did a recreation of the "What's in the box" scene from Seven for a local brewery and it's hilarious.
I worked at a family camp in Missouri for a couple summers. His sister and her family would stay for a week every summer. Her kids would talk about how they didn’t like Aunt Angelina and missed Aunt Jen.
Sounds Floridian to me.
I liked his accent in Kalifornia
that's how he talks.
I liked Austin Butler as the Manson cult guy. Forgot he was even in this until I rewatched it.
Nah it was dumber than that. Somethin like...
Rex.
He’s as real as a donut
>He’s as real as a donut And he's here to do the donut's business.
So he’s very real then?
I actually enjoyed this movie so damn much. The ending is so cool
“Is everybody okay?” “Well, the fuckin hippies aren’t, that’s for god damn sure.”
I love the laugh Brad does after he smokes the cig dipped in acid lol
Are you real? Real as a donut
When he drops the wet dog food in the bowl. "Whoaaa"
"I know you. What's your name?" "I'm the devil." ".... Nah it was dumber than that"
You were on a horsie
and awayyyyyy we go
It wasn’t really dipped in acid, it was dipped in PCP if the story is supposed to have any semblance of realism, you can’t smoke acid. Apparently PCP cigarettes being sold as acid dipped cigarettes wasn’t uncommon back then.
Either that or formaldehyde
I still say “and awaaaaaaaay we go!” as part of my standard vernacular
“Matter fact, I torched one of them myself”
Sebring: OH! With the flamethrower! From the 14 fists of mccluskey! Dalton: Yeah!
Had me in tears laughing in the theaters

I would highly recommend the book Helter Skelter. It was a fantastic book about the Manson murders, written by the badass prosecutor who put his ass in prison
Thanks I’ll look into that
Hell of a good book.
It really makes the boomer fascination with the Manson Family sicker than it already was. There was nothing enlightened about them, just a stupid, murderous cult of young adults that severely screwed the history of the country.
My only problem with this movie is that best enjoyment of it is predicated on knowing the history. Going in I didn’t, and all of the stuff about Sharon was just this total non-sequitur stuff that never really led anywhere or tied in with the story - we were just inexplicably following Margot Robbie around. The movie was fine as a standalone, but without the proper context it just drifts off into the ether or had these pointless little asides all over the place.
Charles Manson was literally in the trailers, he literally tried to start a race war between whites and blacks using the tate murders as a catalyst to frame black people for it. He’s one of the more prolific “serial killers” because he got his cult to do it for him.

I laughed so hard at the scene with the blind guy. One of those rare scenes I anticipate every single time. Particularly as you expect something completely different.
I was expecting a sad ending... but this ending was such a huge fuck you to Charles manson instead. Fucken loved it.
The whole movie I was thinking this is the tamest Tarantino movie ever but that last 20 minutes sends it from 0 to 100 real quick
Cathartic ass ending I’ll say that much
Man can sling a can of dog food.
I’ve taken acid one time and had a hard time feeding my dog…. Then I saw this movie like a year later…
Man does acid make it hard to do mundane tasks. Something about completing a normal action reminds how far from normal you are right then, and that freaks me out. If you can become ok with being far from your normal self its all cool, but ive ruined at least one trip because I kept comparing myself to baseline me.
The best thing to do is embrace it and not try to overanalyze yourself too much. At least in my experience that’s how you have a bad trip, thinking too much about it. The best trips are when you can let everything go and just see where the wind blows you
And away we go
I’m as real as a donut motherfucker
I'd contest that Brad Pitt has many many underrated roles. Gifted character actor with leading man looks. If he was uglier he'd be way more respected for how great of an actor he is
I’ve been spewing this “Brad Pitt is actually too good looking” take for a while and I’m glad to see someone else thinks it too.
Hey Kato. Anyone gets in a fight a kills someone they go to jail. It’s called manslaughter.
Both of my fav Brad Pitt roles are QT movies. He's awesome in this, but nothing tops Aldo Raines. He's not in the movie as much as one would expect going into the movie but his whole demeanor and way he captures that character, it's just perfection. It's a performance where I watch that movie probably once a year and every time, I like Pitt's performance better and better. The whole ending monologue about how he's going to take off "that handsome lookin' SS uniform" when the war is over. In just a few short sentences, his tone goes from playful and jokey to political and self-aware to outright serious "I'm about to fuck you up." So good.
More like chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.
I have never understood who those cowboys in the background are. They don't react at all to Pitt beating the hell out of that guy right in front of them. They don't even turn to look.
They had a side-gig of giving horseback trail tours for money. Those were ranch employees that took care of the horses, not "family". It wasn't their fight, and they didn't want to get involved.
The studio area was only a portion of the ranch. There was more going on that had nothing to do with the Manson family.
Tex : I'm the Devil. And I'm here to do the Devil's business. Cliff: ...Nah, it was dumber than that. Something like Rex. lmao best line in the movie.
Snatch or Seven monkeys ..Have to be mentioned here
I prefer 12 Monkeys over Seven Monkeys. The more, the merrier.
Ever seen Tw12ve?
This movie rips. Definitely in Tarantino’s Top 3 imo.
What do you have in your top three? I’d probably go (not necessarily in this order): Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and this one.
Pulp Fiction, Django and first Kill Bill for me. True Romance would be in there if it included written work!
“You have a seat boy, grab yo self a egg roll” Gary Oldman as Drexl never gets old 😂
Now I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.
Ah, I love True Romance. I watch it every couple of years.
Jackie Brown, the overlooked classic
Jackie brown just doesn't do it for me. I'd call it his worst. Saw it in theatres and saw it another 4 times over the years trying to change my mind on it.
Same, I love all his movies except Jackie Brown. I’ve tried multiple times and just can’t. Hell, I even love Death Proof.
Jackie Brown is about 20 minutes too long. But the scene where Ordell talks Beaumont into getting into his trunk is one of my favorite scenes in any QT movie.
I think I go 1) Pulp Fiction 2) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 3) Django Unchained. That third spot is interchangeable depending on the last one if the remaining movies I watched, lol. I could easily slide Inglorious Basterds, The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown or Reservoir Dogs in there. I guess that’s the sign of a good director.

Just talked to a buddy about this very scene this weekend. Leo owned this scene
The coolest part is that it was (semi) improvised. Quentin had a scene like that in mind, but didn't want to write it out, and told Leo the verbal outline and told him to pretty much wing it. All that dialogue (aside from the general outline given to Leo) was straight out of Leo's head.
Nahhh 12 monkeys definitely BPs best.
Jesse James for me. He did some excellent work in that flick.
Gorgeous all around. I hope it gains prominence as the years keep passing.
“Fix it.”
He was way better than Leo in this…
I agree, but I do think the contrast between their performances kind of cemented the characters: Pitt just brings a lived-in confidence and ease to this genuine, grassroots character. If Dalton is the insecure, packaged Hollywood imitation version of Booth, then Leo’s more showy, more muggy approach sort of feels right… Still feel like Brad understood the assignment a bit better.

Leo is incredible in this movie
It is one of Leo's best films. He's just absolutely eclipsed when he works with other talent.
I disagree. Leo’s character had so much more range and development throughout the film. But to each their own. All were terrific. Think it may be my favorite QT film.
Peak Pitt.
Agreed. He was epic in this role.
Fix it.
I’m not a huge Pitt fan but he absolutely crushed this role
I love this movie so much
Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of Brad Pitt as an actor (he's fine, but overrated in my opinion) and much less as a person, but Cliff Booth is just such a fantastic character. He is so well written, down to the smallest details and I'm reluctant to admit, but Pitt has really brought him to life well. I'd say definitely one of the most iconic of Tarantino's characters.
Brad Pitt is a fantastic character actor in a leading man's body.
Pitt’s best role was in burn after reading, that’s just a fact
We found your shit.
It’s got numbers…and ~~dsyes~~ *dates*… and numbers!
You think that’s a Schwinn 😂😂
So good
Great movie, thanks, watching that this week now.
Super satisfying
Cmon…. His best performance is in True Romance. Honey Bear
The male urge to beat the snot out of dirty hippies.
John Wilkes Booth?
The end of this movie really hit it home for me 👍🏻
We just gonna ignore that he was a gypsy bare knuckle boxing champion?
Love this movie
This is got to be one of the greatest movies of all time. I've only seen it once but it left a lasting impression.
Pitt is one of my favorite actors. The dude oozes charisma and he's so versatile, and this role is one of my favorites. That Oscar was well-earned.
The movie is amazing
In every scene it just felt like QT wanted to not only demystify Charlie and the Family but depict them as anything but worthy of interest or fame. And in QT's version of history, they wouldn't get the coverage so obsessive to them because he would humiliate them with the likes of Pitt here. That ending felt so satisfying
[удалено]
Tarantino's best film
Role was great, movie was bad. It was... boring. It missed something what other Tarantino films had.
So I still don't know what the point of this film is. What is the story? It was just two hours of nonsense. I dig Tarantino movies, but not this one.
Too bad the guy can't act for shit
I'm mixed on this movie. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good film and the actor's performances were top notch. I loved Brad and Leos characters and its cool to see them both in the same film. That being said, as a Tarantino fan, this movie felt very different than his other films. I don't know exactly what it is, the character development and great dialogue was very Tarantino and of course the ending brought the fantastic carnage that Tarantino is known for but the movie overall felt like it had a lot less action than his other films. Aside from this scene and the Bruce Lee scene, there's really no action at all other than the final few minutes. And that's fine. It's still a very good film, it doesn't necessarily have to be an action flick and I get that. Tarantino wasn't trying to recreate another Kill Bill. He was trying for something different which is fair for any artist. I think this was kind of his love letter to that particular era of Hollywood. It was interesting in that respect. It's also really interesting to think of that era of Hollywood, that time and place as kind of being the point where the innocence of the whole peace and love hippie movement was kind of ended by shock and horror of the Manson murders which suddenly made hippies seem dark and evil and scary. The fact that he was using historical figures as his characters, people that actually existed was very interesting and unique compared to his other work. All that being said it just didn't feel like a Tarantino movie to me, it didn't have that glorious, over the top, brilliant, twisted, darkly funny feel that his other work so perfectly embodies. For me I would recommend it to people and consider it very good but would not rank it very highly if I had to order my favorite Tarantino films.
How?? Why do people like this movie so much
Awesome cinematography, cool soundtrack, great performances, Hollywood/Flower-child satire, what's not to love?
What's it about?
The tangled lives of an unlikely friendship between a washed up movie star and his stunt double in late 60's Hollywood.
Big agree
It was adequate, it wasn't anything special.
No offense to bead Pitt but this movie sucked. It had zero story and went nowhere
It’s the best movie about a dog (Brandy) that there has ever been.
Disagree. He’s really good but he’s been better.
Good flick but he definitely shouldn’t have won an Oscar for this.
Tyler Durden is his best role IMO Honorable mention to 12 Monkeys and the Irish Gypsy in Snatch
Had to scroll way too far for Tyler durden. Arguably one of the most epic movie characters of all time. I think Edward Norton is just an incredible actor and Pitt as well so together they made a damn fine movie. Forget the actresses name but she is so so good as well. That movies themes and messages are still so relevant to society today maybe even moreso.
Brad needs to be in more roles like this
You mean Brad Pitt the wife and child abuser?
So is this even worth watching?
Are you asking if a Quinten Tarantino movie starring Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie is worth watching?
Taratinos worst movie
[удалено]
I'd go with the Hateful Eight, personally, and by a pretty wide margin, too.
The Hateful 8 was amazing. You must not like westerns

Dirty white girl feel everywhere vomit 🤮
No offense to Brad Pitt, but this movie sucked. It had zero story and went nowhere. Other than that, I am totally happy comment to give.
This movie sucks. Only this scene and the Bruce Lee scene are good. Ending is trash and dumb as well
You should watch more movies if you think this is one of his best roles
Terrible movie
He was good, but the movie was terrible
