r/Tarantino

I remember when I saw it in theaters and that song came up. It was an odd choice because Tarantino never uses the biggest artists (Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, etc.) and of course, it was an obscure-ish Stones song. It's even a weird version of the song. But knowing Tarantino, it was a very deliberate choice.

And I can't explain why but it's so perfect for that scene. It doesn't appear to be a particularly deep song, just a fun mid '60s British Pop / Rock tune about a girl who leaves a guy and comes pitifully crawling back even though it's too little, too late. But for some reason the movie makes it feel like it's about endings. The ending of the innocent '60s and the classic Hollywood stardom as Rick knew it. The end of Rick and Cliff's professional relationship. Taken literally, maybe it's kind of foreboding re: Sharon Tate? And even just musically, it's great because it's not maudlin, it's fun and bouncy but there's a little bit of melancholy in there too, pretty much the tone Tarantino wanted to set in the third act.

What do you all think? Anyone else feel that way about the song in the movie or does anyone else just love the song? I was already a lifelong Stones fan but after Once Upon a Time, I now listen to it all the time because it feels like the perfect bittersweet goodbye to the good times.

Love Kill Bill both volumes but only when watching them both tonight have i really realised why she went through all that shit.
I suppose I never really thought about that bit because the fight scenes and her journey etc is sick, that’s why it’s such a good 2 films. However I never really focus on why they needed to kill her in the first place. Watching it tonight I realise it was literally because she was getting married to Tommy…

Bill didn’t want his best killer to become a normal woman. The control and misogyny in the film is outrageous. But why did all the others want her dead? Just on bills orders? They all seems to respect her, why wouldn’t they all turn on Bill (except for Bud) and create a new group without him. He literally groomed her.

Classic films, some of Tarantinos best but during this rewatch I really realised that. If I’m wrong tell me because I need to know what you think.

So I'm not a fan of Tarantino and when I watched pulp fiction and a few months later reservoir dogs I did not know why fans really glazed the dialogues which I only saw as someone's foot fetish.

When I was talking to a friend. Deciding a movie to watch and I say that I've already watched pulp fiction and reservoir dogs and they ask me if it was good, the first thing that I tell him, is about the ridiculous thing you have to hear from QT which is the very first scene in reservoir dogs where he's talking about "Madonna's big dick" as called by Mr white.

Then I reflected in my mind. Even though the things he was talking about was straight up unbearable and just makes you wish you could doze off. Yet I am able to happily recall this goofy theory about Like A Virgin.

This is similar to when I tell my friend what I talked about with someone else and that person said something totally deranged such that , retelling it and looking back at it is the only thing you wish to remember.

It was the same thing , in the movie. I was Mr white who had to sit through QT's yapping very first thing in the morning.

Reminds me of the other one film that made me feel this way, which is Uncut Gems. It was a headache for me to watch that movie, and not in a suspenseful way most people describe it as, until the last segment of course.

And once again looking back I will remember it as the movie with the most realistic conversations simply for the way everyone kept talking over each other in a way that induced a headache in me.

And something common in all three of these movies were the fact that i didnt like them immediately after watching it. It felt dissapointing because i expected something huge bit felt mundane in contrast to all other movies ive watched. And yet i can remember them and retell them. Just like events in my life which is mundane and i dont think much about them until when i do and its just funny, because nothing in hindsight isnt funny.
