Leonardo DiCaprio Brad Pitt Margot Robbie on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood MTV News

Biggest movie controversy of all time. Could Jack have fit on that door at the end? Oh my gosh, I thought it. I remember bawling my eyes out when I was... I have no comment. That's telling, I think. That is the biggest controversy, I think. Ever. In modern cinema history. Did you mention it at the time? Were you like, should we make the door smaller? Like I said, I have no comment. Movie magic, my friend. Movie magic. This movie is amazing. You've probably heard this before, but it is definitely a love letter to movies, movie-going, movie-making, the unsung heroes that make movies. Television, L.A. There's a lot there. But what I really want to do with you guys is, because I feel like all four of us are big movie fans, is let's revel in our love of movies for a second, okay? What's the movie that you grew up with that made you obsessed with movies? What was the first movie that got you obsessed? East of Eden. All right, James Dean. Well, the first film that I remember seeing was the black-and-white original King Kong with my dad downtown bursting into tears and falling in love with movies at that point. But when I got to become an actor, it was watching that very vulnerable James Dean in East of Eden who just blew me away. Blew me away. The first movie I remember being my favorite movie that I watched like 50 times over was Robin Hood Men in Tights. And I was like five, and it was kind of inappropriate of a movie for a five-year-old to watch every day. But I loved it. That's really funny. For me, it was The Drive-In. We would see films at The Drive-In at an early age. And it was, it was the ones that made me cry. It was Gargantuan. Gargantuans? Gargantuans. Oh. It was a good Gargantuan, bad Gargantuan. I don't remember it. It's... Only Quentin would know about it. And the good one has to sacrifice himself to take out the bad one. Tears. And then I went straight from that to Butch and Sundance. Mmm. Then the ending. Tears again. There's a great moment in the film where your character Sharon sees her face and name on a poster, on a marquee, on a big screen. Do you remember that moment for you guys? Like when the first time you saw your name or face, and was that a big moment? I do. It was Parenthood, and on a Warner Brothers lot, there was a big poster of me. And I stood there for hours and had my mother take it. Ha ha ha! Sir, you're going to have to leave. Good on you for admitting that. Ha ha ha! There was a poster of Pan Am in Times Square, and I remember, like, I had just gotten to America, and now I'm in Times Square, and I'm like 30 feet high up there, and it was so... I remember asking someone to take a picture of me. I was like, Oh, could you take a picture of me? Like, I'm going to stand right here. And I kept cropping out the poster, and I kept having to be like, No, I need it. I need all of that in there. That's the point of the picture. And they're like, Why? And I was like, I just need it in there, please. Sweet. Is there a classic movie that you would be sad to admit right now you've never seen? Gone with the Wind. What? I've never seen Gone with the Wind either. Are you serious? You guys have never seen... Oh my God. You have an excuse. I don't have an excuse. Gone with the Wind or Sound of Music. I've never seen. I have never seen Sound of Music. What? I figure... You've seen it? Like a thousand times. I remember when we did Wolf of Wall Street, you would get angry at me all the time. Any time I'd mention any movie I hadn't seen, he'd be like, How have you not seen Citizen Kane? How can you work in this industry and not have seen Citizen Kane? And I'm like, I just got here to this industry. You never told me to watch this stuff. And then I went home and I'd go watch Citizen Kane and watch all the movies. He's like, You have to see this. I figure I've gone this long. Where are you right now? I'm going all the way. I've never seen any Star Wars. And I kind of don't watch it now just because it infuriates people so much. Like how? How have you never watched any Star Wars? And I just kind of want to see how long I can make it. Let's go deep. Some big movie-going existential or profound controversies over the years. And one that struck me watching the movie. Sharon puts her feet up, her bare feet up, on a seat in a movie theater. America. I don't even care if they're dirty, man. I mean... Dirty feet. How dare you, dirty feet. But is that ever appropriate in a movie theater for someone's bare feet to be put on a seat? In the 60s it sure was, right? I mean, I wouldn't know. Good question. I did think about it. I was like, does this... I don't want to convey that she's rude or impolite because she's neither of those things. You have the space. If you don't have neighbors close by, I'm going to say... I'm going to say it's okay. Okay. Maybe not shoes anyway. It's not shoes. It's just your feet. Larry David may have a problem with this. But they were dirty. They were dirty feet. A couple other important movie discussions. Perennial movie arguments. True or false. Floyd from True Romance, the greatest stoner character of all time. Absolutely true. Really? Thank you. Absolutely true. 1,000%. Get cleaning products. Because there's been some good ones. Condescend me, ************. Condescend me. Godfather 1. Written by Quentin Tarantino. Of course. My favorite movie of all time. True Romance, the great Tony Scott. Really? I walked down the aisle to the True Romance music. What? Oh, that's good. Comic book movies. I was saying to Margot earlier, there is a connection in that Margot's next film or upcoming film is Birds of Prey, which was shot under the title, correct me if I'm wrong, Fox Force 5. Correct. You guys know what Fox Force 5 is? You remember? Fox Force 5, you tell Margot. In Pulp Fiction, when Uma and John Travolta are having their $5 milkshake, she's explaining the pilot, which I think in real life Uma had done. I think that dialogue was based off the fact that she had done a pilot like that, and then he turned it into dialogue and then she talks about Fox Force 5. But in our movie, there's five prominent women, and like everything, we always throw reference to Tarantino moments that we pray to inject into the film, so it felt fitting. And then also I asked Quentin, I was like, would you mind if we used the working title, Fox Force 5? And he was like, he thought it was really funny. Does it have a little bit of that anarchic, subversive Tarantino spirit? I mean, yes, the spirit's definitely there. Leo on this group is the only one that's eluded comic book movies. You've done your time as Vanisher. Congratulations. The role was amazing. Thank you. Oh yeah, I was like, what are you talking about? That was really funny actually. Is that it for you? Have you capped out? Is that top down? I think I've taken it as far as I can take it. It's kind of mic drop, that was a good scene. Ryan Reynolds came up with it, the part that I could film. It's very funny. I'm completely lost in everything that's being talked about. You're so Rick Dalton right now. Oblivious Rick Dalton, huh? Oh my god, Leo's still in character. I carry my characters a year out. Last thing for you, there's an epic, kind of a brain freeze moment for your character in this film, where he just melts down and you can't get through it. Did that remind you of any particular moments of your careers where you just could not get through a scene for whatever reason? Yeah. You haven't come to mind. Definitely, so neat. I think we've all had those experiences, and they're the worst. They're the nightmare of going to school in your underwear, but the real live version of it. And you just can't get out of your own head. You've got 100 people on set, and everyone wants to move on to the next or go home. You have a co-star who's already done theirs and done it well, and they're waiting on you. I once had to do a scene where I had to be speaking Lingala, and there was also stunt stuff happening at the same time, so it was really crucial, and I just couldn't speak. I couldn't, I was like, and I practiced this for so many months, and I cannot get my mouth around this language right now, and I kept messing it up. It really has to do with being incredibly exhausted. I remember doing it on the Aviator. I had a massive dialogue sequence, and then I just had two lines the next day. That was my whole day, and I couldn't, literally couldn't say those words. And of course, Scorsese was just sitting there waiting like 40 takes later, like, oh my God. I could not say these two lines. Did it make the movie? It did.
