Four members of the Manson Family – Tex (Austin Butler), Sadie (Mikey Madison), Katie (Madisen Beaty), and Flowerchild (Maya Hawke) – pass him and pull into the cul-de-sac, and it’s their intention, on orders from cult leader Charlie Manson, to invade the house owned by Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate and kill everyone inside. As the stuntman prepares to take Brandy out for a walk, he rediscovers the acid-dipped cigarette he had purchased a few months prior, and decides to give it a whirl.Īs Cliff and Brandy head away from the house and down the road, trouble starts. Settling in, Rick decides to keep the drinking binge going by preparing some frozen margaritas, but Cliff opts to go in a more trippy direction. It’s around the time that they all start getting settled for the night – around 11:45pm – that Rick and Cliff arrive home from Casa Vega. Recognizing that it’s their last big night out together, the two friends drink heavily, and wind up taking a taxi to get back to Rick’s house on Cielo Drive.Īround 10pm, Sharon and her group make it back to her place next door to Rick’s, where the Wrecking Crew actress hangs out with her guests for a while, listening to Abigail play the piano and sing before changing to get more comfortable. At night they go out for dinner at the Mexican restaurant El Coyote, though it’s not a long evening given that Sharon experiences some pregnancy-induced melancholy, and discomfort due to the hot weather.Īfter getting back to the house from the airport, picking up Cliff’s dog Brandy, and putting Francesca to bed to due to jetlag, Rick and Cliff also head out to a Mexican restaurant, though they choose Casa Vega, a good distance away from where Sharon is having dinner. Meanwhile, Sharon Tate ( Margot Robbie), who is now very pregnant, spends her day with her two houseguests – Voytek Frykowski (Costa Ronin) and Abigail Folger (Samantha Robinson) – as well as her ex/best friend Jay Sebring (Emile Hirsch) while her husband, Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucha), is out of town. In this feature, we’ll dive deep into the ending that plays out in the movie, what happened in real life, and why Tarantino decided he wanted to tell his version of the story. The chaos that unfolds in the third act of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is very closely based on the actual events that occurred in our reality, but Quentin Tarantino operates as a revisionist with the film by factoring in two new key players: aging actor Rick Dalton ( Leonardo DiCaprio) and stuntman Cliff Booth ( Brad Pitt). His most recent work, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, is yet another example of this trend, as the film’s ending proposes the existence of another universe where Sharon Tate and her friends weren’t murdered by members of the Manson Family. It began when he brought the Nazis down in his own way with 2009’s Inglourious Basterds, and since then has also explored slavery in the Deep South with Django Unchained, and the period following the Civil War in The Hateful Eight. Rick also happens to live next door to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate - the filmmaker and budding actress whose futures will forever be altered by members of the Manson Family.While Quentin Tarantino’s early career primarily centered on contemporary crime movies, his more recent work has been much more about rewriting history.
He spends most of his time drinking and palling around with Cliff Booth, his easygoing best friend and longtime stunt double.
Actor Rick Dalton gained fame and fortune by starring in a 1950s television Western, but is now struggling to find meaningful work in a Hollywood that he doesn't recognize anymore.
