This is what criticism strives to be, people of various backgrounds, religions and lives all coming together to give their own interpretation to a movie that provides the ability for the viewer/reader to learn and expand their knowledge about the world. Of course, not all films seek this accomplishment intentionally but it’s interesting how much a movie and it’s characters can act as a symbol for certain themes, such as justice, prudence and temperance, in this case.

Agreed. Barron's take on Booth is quite flawed in my humble opinion. (You can read my in-depth thoughts among the most recent comments). Like Barron I'm a Tarantino fan in some respects, but I have to say there was anything but ambiguity in the scene on the boat. Booth sits there, harpoon aimed squarely at the wife, eyes throwing daggers, and music appropriately creepy. If it was ambiguous, then I've completely misunderstood Tarantino. Seems to me Tarantino is quite nihilistic and all his characters are capable of both great evil and great good. At least that is what I've perceived in seeing his greatest works.

@vibovitold

@@JeansiByxan I disagree. If it was supposed to be unambiguous, why wouldn't Tarantino simply show the killing? It's not like he wastes any opportunity to show violence. There is absolutely no reason why he couldn't have shown it - even off-screen, with just the sound. And if the scene were to conclude with Booth killing his wife, he'd have to lose his temper over her nagging. But it doesn't happen to him at any other point. Quite the contrary, he's an admirably composed individual. He can be violent, sure, like when he beats up that hippie who cut the tire. But even then he doesn't just fly into a rage. He calmly explains the situation first (in a well articulated manner), then still gives the guy a chance to fix the situation by just changing the wheel. He's also calm when the house gets invaded (although he's on acid at that moment, so it could be chalked up to that, ok). But he restrained himself in the fight against Bruce Lee too, staying perfectly in control of the situation. He did speak his mind, but didn't push for the fight to happen, and didn't use more violence than he meant to; cool-blooded enough to just accept the first kick. He doesn't get even verbally violent to Squeaky, even though she's confrontational and rather provocative. He sort of forces his way in, sure, by telling her in no uncertain terms her lies aren't going to stop him, but he's showing no sign of getting agitated at that. His self-restraint is sharply contrasted with Rick's short temper, demonstrated both in sadness (crying "in front of Mexicans") and in anger (how differently they handle their confrontations with Manson family members, Rick flying off the handle at a petty annoyance). Cliff also shows it in other aspects of life, by the way - sexual (rejecting Pussycat's advances), drugs (he's putting the LSD cigarette away for later; plans for using it in a safe place at a safe time). And so on. So it would really be bizarrely, massively out of character for him to suddenly lose it and go outright homicidal just because his wife threw a few generic insults at him. Insults which most certainly weren't anything he hadn't heard before; it's not like she's dropping some bomb at him in the boat scene.

You've said before that someone once told you that "philosophy is the art of making distinctions" and you do that well. God bless.

I've already seen the movie twice and I think you've hit on some aspects that most critics either have ignored or just don't see at all. Tarantino's movies surprisingly do have a deep moral concern that is usually lost on even his biggest fans who think he's all about violence and pop culture talk. Thank you for this.

This movie totally blew my mind. It is Tarantinos masterpiece. The way the scenes are weaved together, the nuances, the imagery, the subtleties will probably go over most people's heads. The sublime coincidences, the pathos, it's too much to take in in one viewing. All leading up to a mind blowing twist that brings it all together. Pure poetry and genius.

Cliffs moment of turning down pleasure with the Manson girl for the good of another persons well being was such a great way to get you on his side. What I also loved about cliff and George. Is when he walked up to his house and is confronted by red. The camera is positioned by cliffs hand and thigh, like a western he’s ready to draw. Great scene. Amazing movie

Thank you for your insights on the play of prudence in the film, Bishop. But I would love to hear your take on the other themes of the film - the redeeming power of art (movies/television) in the face of the horror and despair of reality and the spiritual kinship between characters, old and new, real and fictional, on the brink of obsolescence. I think Pitt's prudent display of heroism was in service of these values in what is essentially an adult fairy tale in the classical, pre-Victorian mold (i.e. with a clear moral vision, but not moralizing).

I don't suppose it was any coincidence that this review appeared on the 50th anniversary of the first night of Manson murders. It was a very tumultuous time in our nation's culture and the music of the time was a large part of it. I just was hoping that the movie would've had something about Dennis Wilson, drummer for the Beach Boys, trying to promote Manson's musical aspirations. It might have been extraneous to the plot line, but could've fleshed out the Manson character a little more. I thank Bishop Barron for pointing out the moral vision that would've been totally lost on me otherwise.

Pitt also overcame many of his inner demons before the production of this film and it shows in his cool calm approach to any situation. "I'm the devil and I have come to do the devils work" No, your that guy from the ranch. whats his name

Haven't seen the film yet, planning to soon. I also enjoy Tarantino. As always, Father Barron speaks articulately, with broad ranging connections and vision.

Bishop Barron. You make me want to study philosophy. Awesome. Can't wait to watch the movie.

Do it. Study philosophy, it's one of the few things worth studying- but it is a hard field to find employment in.

Bp. Barron, I think that you should do a video on the different "moral codes" of the Reservoir Dogs characters. I especially like Mr. White: he is not a "good" man but his loyalty to Mr. Orange is an admirable quality.

Good job Padre, I just became a subscriber. You’re right about the movie, it’s worth seeing.

I really enjoy your reviews!! Yes, this is Brad Pitt's best performance ever as an actor. He overshadowed DiCaprio who seemingly was the main character. Everything you said was right in point Father, stumbled upon this because I am a big fan of this film, and am now subscribing. Am looking forward to your other reviews. I saw the one you did for Scorsese's Silence as well.

I'd like to see him review other Tarantino movies like Django Unchained or Kill Bill

I see very few movies but saw this one on Bishop Barons rec. I was awed at what I learned. I was stationed in Boscomatico, Italy with a SF unit and one of my close friends, Nadia, was a friend of Sharon who at the time was a model, Nadia's dad was a LTC in the Army and I'm forgetful what her connection other then friend was with Sharon. Anyway we would all meet at the PX in Verona,. (military base) to talk and setup what we would do on the weekend. We would all go to the Dolomites and snow ski (military bus). Ski all day and stayed at the ski hotel one night singing and drinking, some of the best time of my life. I was in Vietnam during the incident with the killing of Sharon but watching this movie and going back and reading all of what had happened makes me sick even now. Now remembering her in my prayers, and it"s too bad it did"nt workout like the movie.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏

This was a great analysis to a great film. Very cool

Wolf dog food. Good food for bad dogs. Everyone wants a friend like Cliff.

I really enjoyed this thoughtful and intelligent review...

I could only wish to be as wise and well spoken as him

Was thinking of seeing this, but not sure because VIOLENCE. Thank you for this AND all of your other film reviews. I look to them now for guidance on themes. While I'm at it, thank you for ALL of your videos. I've been learning so much and thanks to you have the Summa, Confessions, Fathers Know Best, and am reading your Priority of Christ. God bless your work Bishop.

This is Tarantinos least violent film by far... that said... the end has a spurt of shocking violence.. but its not really offensive honestly

Elke, I do understand about the violence. But if violence were a deal-breaker, you wouldn't read any of Flannery O'Connor's stories--or the Bible for that matter.

@@BishopBarron I have no problem with violence. I have with meaningless violence and aberrant sexuality. I think its a sin to enjoy such films."

@@Universalist1000 Oh brother...That's so fussily puritanical. I know a book that depicts rape, murder, incest, masturbation, wanton killing, and child sacrifice. It's called the Bible. Sometimes artists put us in contact with even the dark side of life in order to convey some truth. If we followed your advice, we'd only watch movies for children.

I'll go see it sir. Thanks very much for your effort.

Great review! Great scene when Pitt's character attempted to look out for his friend George Spahn at great risk to himself. A real life ranch hand Shorty Shea actually stood up for Mr. Spahn. Shorty was killed soon afterwards b the Manson crew.

The tintersting thing about a lot of the danger of ths film is it's ambiguity. They don't have the audience's benefit of real world conext. Of course there's a sense of some danger, but I don't think that scene would hav anywhere near the tension had we not nown who the manson family was

The clarity we had prior to 2nd Vatican council.

Bishop Barron you’ve so very eloquently explained why I walked out of that movie saying “I love Brad Pitts character in that!” It must be a Catholic thing haha 😆 Deo Gratias 🙏
