Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino, July 26, 2019) Movie • Page 71

a take, for sure

 

You didn’t like Shutter Island?

 

Shutter Island is one of Scorsese's worst films.

 

Shutter Island was a big disappointment for me. Saw it once in the theaters and was surprised at the reception it got.

 

Leo’s best performance: Wolf of Wall Street
Pitt’s best performance: honestly probably Moneyball but I haven’t seen Ad Astra yet

 

Hey speaking of PSH remember A Most Wanted Man. He was real good in that.

 

I actually think PSH was quite handsome

Not the same physique as a Pitt or Leo sure, but handsome imo

 

to be polite, no

one of the worst uses of ruffalo too

 

Shutter Island was fine to me, didn’t dislike it but didn’t love it either, but that’s also kind of the problem isn’t it

 

absolutely. you have to buy lancaster dodd as a magnetic, cult leader type handsome dude and he sells it

 

Pitt's best is Burn After Reading for my money. he's pretty great in Twelve Monkeys too

 

Pitt’s best was Fight Club because it exposed the snowflake mentality and us white men are oppressed who are slaves to IKEA and we need to expel our aggression through violence and credit card companies need to be destroyed and Meat Loaf is right climate change is a hoax.

 

The fact that he isnt overly handsome like LDC or Pitt helps that role too. You could walk in knowing how Brad Pitt could be a charming cult leader so its less disarming but PSH catches you off guard and, as you said, sells it incredibly.

 

Lupita is someone who I would give an unmarked script to and say pick a role and she would be incredible no matter what. Jared Harris, having only seen him in three things, is terrific.

 

Brad Pitt has this charm about him that occasionally affects my view of his more serious performances. He did great in Ad Astra but I remember at least a scene or two where I couldn't separate him from his character. In OUATIH he leans into that charm which makes the role work so well.

 

If the conversation is most CHARMING actor instead of straight-up best I think Pitt is an easy contender, his characters are super likable in even his weakest movies

 

he might have been a good actor, whom can say

 

PSH in Doubt is one of my favorite roles ever

 

It drives my mind crazy that we’ll never know if he was guilty or not but PSH knew.

 

He makes eating on screen charming

 

definitely guilty

 

The moment when Streep reveals she lied about contacting his former parish is what makes that ending so incredible for me. Even if he wasn’t guilty of that specific abuse, although I think he was, he clearly WAS guilty of abusing children in the past.

 

Why do you say that?

 

Hm, don’t fully recall this because it’s been so long, going to have to do a rewatch soon.

 

I haven't seen it since it came out but that was my take-away
