Cliff was just happy not to be in prison for murder. In the book he kills 4 people aside from his time in the military. So he’s just grateful for freedom.

It would be interesting if the director added a very anti-Chekhov's Gun detail, for example, if Cliff Booth had an out-of-character mistake, or a mistake like taking the probably underage girl in the car up on her offer, or an anger breakdown like Lou Bloom, but one that would realistically come once in 10 years for Cliff. Why this is interesting is I wonder how it would make people characterize Cliff Booth, how different they would see him. How they would misjudge him for a hiccup, and his whole role model aspect, or that one aspect where we can learn something from which realistically everyone has, would be overlooked. All these lessons and KZfaq video-essays would not exist for this character, or for any character from such a movie. Or they would be more of a cautionary tale, or an attempt to understand a weird character; as opposed to doing an in-depth dive, analysis and extraction of lessons from a character whose general character can already be read at a first glance as opposed to one that has this confusing out-of-character hiccup, and frankly, such a movie would be less of an art piece as less could be taken away from it, and it would be a cheap, weak experiment - "Oh, the director was just doing that? Man, way to ruin a movie and confuse us." A calm character is seen as cool, but a calm character that has a breakdown once in the film is not seen as calm and only once angry, but constantly restrained and faking. It would be extremely interesting how people could misinterpret the character. Like imagine Cliff Booth is the person this video described him as in that different movie, but no one can see it. And then the director comes out and says he added that part to throw people off, and because he was interested how people would interpret the character and how much this one act would shift the perspective on this character that, realistically, the audience only gets a 3 hour window into his life. Normal standards show this would be bad writing, and that makes sense as every movie, every limited representation of character tries to capture their essence properly and fully, either giving us THE BEST OF them, or the broadest of them (showing us a bit of every side), and this is how we all wish to be seen in life as well, but limited first impressions, specific circumstances of our broader lives and our emotions around that period that affect and bleed into that one 15 minute or 3 hour cut of our lives wrongfully painting us, and the unique minds of the ones judging us often cause lifelong misunderstanding with that person, if a relationship does form, and we are never seen and displayed as beautifully, 'fairly' and broadly as the characters in movies, and that is why such a movie would be interesting and unique. Added, Cliff Booth does not care that he is not represented fairly, though he is unaware he is a movie character and IS represented (pretty) fairly (except for the perhaps tough or traumatic, or maybe very chill experiences that made him be this free, or the path to this humility and carefreeness that he possesses now if he did not possess it as a young man or child, et cetera), though I'm sure such people exist in real life. However, it would be wrong to the character to say "While he is represented fairly, being okay with being unrepresented fairly, not cared for, overlooked, misjudged is an ideal", because I doubt he is playing up some ideal of not caring. No. He really does not care. Though it is still probably beneficial to TRY, although you are not that naturally or without trying, it's just that you would not be Cliff Booth if you are someone captured by 'literally me' ambitions, is what I'm saying; because he does not try to be someone. Be you.

I'm late to the party, i finally watched this film. Just ended actually. Man i gotta say, even though i wasn't alive when the tragedy happened, that ending was so very satisfying. Even more so then the Nazi's comeuppance.

Brad Pitt is sick I’ve watched his films for years. Once upon a time in Hollywood would have been 💩 without him 💯

Just a correction.... t's "Spahn Ranch", not "Spawn Ranch" (but I guess the hippies are the spawn of Satan).

This is not a "man's"movie duh.Tarantino is full of hot air.

This was the perfect Tarantino movie for me. I like his historical fiction but the stakes of some of his other films (whether it be Nazi Germany or chattel slavery in the US) are just too high and serious for me to engage in the escapism needed for historical fiction. Here, the Manson family camp and stopping the murder of Sharon Tate was enough escapism - I was fascinated by Hollywood in 1969. The characters and acting were great, I was engaged from the beginning to the end.

Q.T is a purveyor of fairy tales.

Lol...bloody Mary's come with celery and many people put hot sauce in it

Theres a reason Rick called Cliff Audie Murphy in the beginning. In the book Tarantino confirms he had the most Japanese kills in WW2 and was the ultimate badass. Also, Bloody Mary's come with celery and hot sauce often. Not bad either. Lol.

4:40 Thats a bloody Mary, your supposed to drink it like that. xD

Give us your subs

We're back, we're so back!

Best character ever! You also made very good points with Clint Eastwood.

This movie made me realize that Brad is one of the best.

I’m hoping that his heroic actions that night serve to turn his bad luck around and he’s able to get work

bro Bloody Mary Drinks are supposed to have hot sauce and celery

4:44 The narrator has never heard of a Bloody Mary

Babylon 💯👍🇪🇸❤️

Check out ''Johnny Suede'', one of his first movies. He could do 'subtle' from the start.

😩 'promosm'

Hot sauce and celery in a Bloody Mary are normal. Grow up.

Guys like him cuz he’s tough, girls like him cuz he’s Brad Freakin Pitt

Brad was dreamy in the 90s and he looks great now.

Tabasco and celery, it's "Bloody Mary".

I’ll say one thing about the guy. He hides his own issues remarkably well. He could be complaining about his inability to get a job but he doesn’t. And the only time he’s actually hitting someone, it’s because he was pushed. The whole thing at the end self defense

No mention of Tom Laughlin/Billy Jack..?? Both Pitt and Tarantino both publicly stated that Billy Jack was the direct inspiration for Cliff Booth's character. I enjoyed this but it was more speculative and opinion than research based.

Great flick, great everything. Once Upone A Time; great title.

This is a masterpiece 😂

Hot sauce and celery is more common in a Bloody Mary than you would think.

Love this video. But cliff is drinking a Bloody Mary in the bar. Traditionally they came with celery and pretty normal to add hot sauce

"Don't cry in front of the Mexicans" Brilliant! That should be on a T-shirt..lol

I'll only come on if we can discuss my fave Marvel hero... Thanos 😊

“Pussycat”….phew! Took me a few minutes to realise who her mamma is! She has all her momma’s good looks, but with none of her mother’s square jawed look to take away from the overall effect! She a hot tamale!

He also destroyed some goddamn fucking hippies

He’s drinking a Bloody Mary

Punches an old guy in the face lol tht guy was probably 20 years younger than Brad pitt and yes if you have a bloody mary it usually has hot sauce

I don't wanna watch the meg 2 :(

Great job! 6/10 😂

Phoenix´s Joker and the overall movie was a outlier in the year of bad and worse hollywood crap that landed on the box office and that mean withnout turd factory of Marvel taking into consideration, that would make it buoy of quality mainstream movie in the sea of shits. Sorry to drop such a bomb as by the way and willy nilly continue makes me zoning out from the rest of the vid.

Is this guy taking a piss🥴🥴🥴🥴 Dude never heard of a Bloody Mary 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cliff was drinking a Bloody Mary. It’s 1.5 oz of vodka filled with ice and tomato puree. It goes well with hot sauce and celery.

It’s funny, DiCaprio was so good in this, but I thought it was Brad Pitts movie.

Interesting commentary, but you couldn't be bothered to check your spelling?? It's SPAHN RANCH, not "SPAWN". It's about credibility. Jeez.

The hot sauce and celery in his drink is normal. Just putting that out there, its common to have bloody marys like that. Also people mix half beer with half tomato juice and put hot sauce in that too when it's hot in the summer here. Neither drinks are my cup of tea but quite common. Cliff Booth is one of Quinton's best characters I think. I would like to see another Cliff Booth movie! Like what if "Remember that time Cliff starred in his own film'' lol type of shit. They would easily be able to make a movie of that.

putting hot sauce in a bloody mary isnt strange. actually it's quite common.

A true Chad

Literally every bloody Mary mix has hot sauce in it

Bullshit
