I'm honestly still unpacking it and it's very self-congratulatory throughout, but the end made it totally worth it for me. I will say that if I didn't know as much as I do about the Tate murders, though, I wouldn't have appreciated the end the way I think it was intended to be.
Only if you're sure because it's worth seeing IMO!
[Spoiler (click to open)]Everything leading up to the murders makes you think they're going to happen as they really did. The killers are all who they are IRL - Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Tex Watson. Linda Kasabian (played by Maya Hawke) bitches out, like IRL. Tex says the shit about leaving something witchy, and they hike up to the house, talk about bringing everyone into the living room after Tex says they're there to do the devil's business, etc.
But in a nutshell, they infiltrate Rick's house instead (he lives next door to Sharon/Polanski) and all three of the would-be killers meet really grisly, revenge-y ends. It's fantastic. And then Sharon invites Rick up to her house for a drink lol. It's a kind of cool alternate ending, and I can see why Sharon's family approved.
Wait, you seriously didn't expect him to do that when he's already cannibalizing his own alternate reality schtick? I've never seen a Tarantino movie in my life and I still predicted that's exactly how it would end when everyone said it was ~surprising~
[Spoiler (click to open)] Basically they show up to kill the people in Tate's house and are being really loud outside, so drunk Leo comes out and tells them off. They get kinda spooked and drive away, but then decide they are going to kill everyone on the street (something deep about killing the movie stars who taught them how to kill idk)
ANYWAYS they show up to Leo's house (where Brad is staying for the night) while Brad is in the middle of feeding his pitbull. They bust in with knives and guns and kinda stand there for a bit, then Brad makes some noise, which makes the dog attack buddy with the gun (violently, of course). Then Brad throws a metal can of dog food at another chick's face. The dog takes turns attacking them.
Meanwhile, Leo has fucked off into the pool and doesn't hear any of this. It isn't until one of the Manson Murderers falls into the pool while she is writhing around in pain, trying to shoot randomly. He goes and gets his flamethrower and BBQs her.
