I’m reposting this. I’ve watched the movie probably six times now. Better each time, You pick something up new with each viewing.
There’s supposedly a directors cut version out. Has anybody seen it?
Anybody else out there as nuts about this flick as me?
Second time thru I noticed that there are long scenes with no cuts, like the one one with De Caprio AKA Rick Dalton and the little girl and Bruce Lee fight scene.
Third time all the vintage cars. Hundreds of them.
The music.
Pacino is great.
Brad Pitt plays the coolest cat of alll time, Cliff Booth.
And Bruce Dern is funny as hell while not trying to be.
I wish I was seeing it for the first time and not my 25th (I must have seen it that many times).
“I wish I was seeing it for the first time and not my 25th (I must have seen it that many times).”
It was actually hard to follow in spots. Marlon Brando mumbling with his face stuffed with cotton. I’m sure I’ll pick up a lot more detail if I watch it over again.
Brando was only in his early 40s when the movie was shot, so he stuck cotton in his jowls to age himself. He had always mumbled but this made it worse.
No mumbling in part 2. It’s my personal #1 film of all times. Pacino is absolutely brilliant and my admiration for his acting in this film grows with each viewing. Too bad he turned into such a ham later on.
