I’m a big fan of Quentin Tarantino’s movies. At the heart of a lot of them is a moral vision; the characters are compelled, under extreme duress, to make a moral choice. His latest film, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” struck me the same way. It’s a rather extraordinary showing of a morally upright person at work in the world.

This is what criticism strives to be, people of various backgrounds, religions and lives all coming together to give their own interpretation to a movie that provides the ability for the viewer/reader to learn and expand their knowledge about the world. Of course, not all films seek this accomplishment intentionally but it’s interesting how much a movie and it’s characters can act as a symbol for certain themes, such as justice, prudence and temperance, in this case.

Agreed. Barron's take on Booth is quite flawed in my humble opinion. (You can read my in-depth thoughts among the most recent comments). Like Barron I'm a Tarantino fan in some respects, but I have to say there was anything but ambiguity in the scene on the boat. Booth sits there, harpoon aimed squarely at the wife, eyes throwing daggers, and music appropriately creepy. If it was ambiguous, then I've completely misunderstood Tarantino. Seems to me Tarantino is quite nihilistic and all his characters are capable of both great evil and great good. At least that is what I've perceived in seeing his greatest works.

@@JeansiByxan I disagree. If it was supposed to be unambiguous, why wouldn't Tarantino simply show the killing? It's not like he wastes any opportunity to show violence. There is absolutely no reason why he couldn't have shown it - even off-screen, with just the sound. And if the scene were to conclude with Booth killing his wife, he'd have to lose his temper over her nagging. But it doesn't happen to him at any other point. Quite the contrary, he's an admirably composed individual. He can be violent, sure, like when he beats up that hippie who cut the tire. But even then he doesn't just fly into a rage. He calmly explains the situation first (in a well articulated manner), then still gives the guy a chance to fix the situation by just changing the wheel. He's also calm when the house gets invaded (although he's on acid at that moment, so it could be chalked up to that, ok). But he restrained himself in the fight against Bruce Lee too, staying perfectly in control of the situation. He did speak his mind, but didn't push for the fight to happen, and didn't use more violence than he meant to; cool-blooded enough to just accept the first kick. He doesn't get even verbally violent to Squeaky, even though she's confrontational and rather provocative. He sort of forces his way in, sure, by telling her in no uncertain terms her lies aren't going to stop him, but he's showing no sign of getting agitated at that. His self-restraint is sharply contrasted with Rick's short temper, demonstrated both in sadness (crying "in front of Mexicans") and in anger (how differently they handle their confrontations with Manson family members, Rick flying off the handle at a petty annoyance). Cliff also shows it in other aspects of life, by the way - sexual (rejecting Pussycat's advances), drugs (he's putting the LSD cigarette away for later; plans for using it in a safe place at a safe time). And so on. So it would really be bizarrely, massively out of character for him to suddenly lose it and go outright homicidal just because his wife threw a few generic insults at him. Insults which most certainly weren't anything he hadn't heard before; it's not like she's dropping some bomb at him in the boat scene.

Anyone who believes in a god in the 21st century, either turns a blind eye to the way nature works or is incompetent. Your “god” is either impotent or evil, or the most probable, there is none. What type of a sick demented god would allow 21,000 children under the age of 5 to die every day in our world? What type of a scum bag would create an entire ecosystem that thrives off pain and death. It saddens me to see a perfectly smart man like this bishop, just can’t see the clear contradictions in his beloved religion. Religion is what people believe by the billions, what only lunatics will believe on their own.

I have been a lapsed Catholic for 40 years, and at 60 years old, have been considering returning to the Church for some moral clarity in these tumultuous times. Alas, during my 40 years in the wilderness the Church has changed. It now has a Pope more concerned about climate change than the catastrophic social change taking place. A Pope more concerned with preserving the earth than shepherding souls to heaven. Now we have a Bishop with a KZfaq channel who loves Quentin Tarantino movies? Egad!! With spiritual leadership like this I think I’ll pass on returning to the Church. They’re more confused than I am.

Thank you for your insights on the play of prudence in the film, Bishop. But I would love to hear your take on the other themes of the film - the redeeming power of art (movies/television) in the face of the horror and despair of reality and the spiritual kinship between characters, old and new, real and fictional, on the brink of obsolescence. I think Pitt's prudent display of heroism was in service of these values in what is essentially an adult fairy tale in the classical, pre-Victorian mold (i.e. with a clear moral vision, but not moralizing).

Tarantino's movies can be uneven but they are INTERESTING. Pitt's character is very cool throughout the film. It was a little surprising how the audience I was with (including myself) reacted to the little twist in the 3rd act. Good stuff.

Thank you Bishop, I really like how you broke down the contents of the movie. To show how Brad Pitts character is in a lot of ways a good guy. I have seen the movie and even though Cliff Both is not a roll model. He does portray great characteristics that are look down upon in today's society. I like your channel.

@@mojo7495 Expose himself to this type of thing? We are ALL exposed to this everyday, the fact we have a Bishop who views popular media which in some ways reflect the virtue and vice of culture and is able to break it apart with a Catholic frame of mind is quite appealing. Bishop Barron if you watched this video expresses his favor of a particular virtuous character in this movie, not once did he express a love for depraved actions but actually on the contrary a love for strong moral values in relateable characters. If we can't engage secular culture how can we evangelize them? It is one thing to enjoy such content on a regular occasion because of such explicit content and it's depravity and entirely another thing to view it with a rightly ordered conscience. If this movie consisted solely of depraved behavior then this review would never have taken place, this review is solely about the virtues displayed by a particular character which is refreshing especially in Hollywood today, that is all. Have you ever watched war movies or other historical movies that accurately depicts the horror man has caused against the other? While such actions are graphically horrific if we view them with a strong formed conscience they can do well to teach us about the gruesome reality of sin

DiCaprio played a bit of a insecure coward, who need a child actor to give him strength, while Pitt played the alter ego, heroic "shadow" figure ... which then completed the DiCaprio character in the end. My wife hated the movie, while I couldn't explain why I kinda liked it. It had an implicit meaning that I couldn't put into words. Having the Manson characters being destroyed was also cathartic.

I don't suppose it was any coincidence that this review appeared on the 50th anniversary of the first night of Manson murders. It was a very tumultuous time in our nation's culture and the music of the time was a large part of it. I just was hoping that the movie would've had something about Dennis Wilson, drummer for the Beach Boys, trying to promote Manson's musical aspirations. It might have been extraneous to the plot line, but could've fleshed out the Manson character a little more. I thank Bishop Barron for pointing out the moral vision that would've been totally lost on me otherwise.

Bishop Barren, Thank you for giving insight into this film on a whole different level. I saw it last night and I rather enjoyed it. You mentioned the virtue of temperance being shown in the moments in which Cliff could have easily sexually taken advantage of the young girl. I wonder if this intention was a driving force behind the cinematography in those scenes (camera angles, nuances in the actors clothing, etc.) While this may seem obvious to the normal movie goer, critics have mentioned in the past that Tarantino tends to portray a sexist and objective view of women in his movies. My question - what do you think about that? Is it possible to have these suggestive moments while still upholding a dignified view of women, or is it sometimes necessary to do as much as possible to get the point across in movies? Thanks again! You rock! - Eleazar
