The runtime is 2 hours and 40 minutes, I think, but it passes by very quickly. It's the kind of movie that you want to re-watch immediately after it's over--so many details that I missed the first time through.
The story is loosely based on the relationship between Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham, and it's their movie more so than Sharon Tate's.
Burt was actually going to play the George Spahn role, but died before filming began, but even so, the movie is perfectly cast. Brad Pitt deserves every award he's won so far for playing Cliff Booth.
There is a LOT of cursing--that's to be expected with any Tarantino movie, but otherwise I have no complaints. The ending is unexpected, hilarious, brilliant ... and bittersweet.
Now that makes sense.
Didn’t realize it was that long.
Yep, got up this morning, like 5 am, and watched it again.
The seven minutes of mayhem at the end was really brilliant. Tarantino’s foot fetish was funny and on full display.
