Quentin Tarantino Defended The Size Of Margot Robbie s Role In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Get the Full StoryQuentin Tarantino s take on Helter Skelter, aka Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, was the buzziest movie at Cannes and continues to be, especially since preview-goers realized that the Manson Family s most famous victim, Sharon Tate played by Margot Robbie, is barely in it and says even less. Tarantino rejects that hypothesis but did pay Margot s presence some lip service as being an angel ghost or some bullshit. That does make sense. Because she s supposedly next to invisible in the movie just like an angel or a ghost.

Indiewire reports that Quentin feels that Margot is the angelic presence of the movie and therefore didn t need many lines.

There was a little bit more of her; everybody lost sequences. It s not her story, it s Rick s story. It s not even Cliff s. And she is an angelic presence throughout the movie, she s an angelic ghost on earth, to some degree, she s not in the movie, she s in our hearts.

Why aren t I in the movie more, Margot must have asked? To which Quentin must have replied Because you re in my heart instead. So you don t need to be on the screen. By the way, do you have an open-toe version of those shoes? Just wondering.

So Margot did have more scenes but they were cut. Tarantino says that everybody even her co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt had more but you can t release a four-hour long movie even if you re Quentin Tarantino. Or can you? The Cannes version s length is two hours and 39 minutes.

Now that he s seen the 90-million movie play with an audience aside from some research previews , Tarantino is going to look at it again. I wouldn t take anything else out, he said. I m going to explore possibly putting something back in. If anything, I wanted to go to Cannes too short. if I m going to err, I m going to err on too tight.

Too tight like a gal s shoes that must come off so Quentin can gently massage her feet and shudder like he s got an internal earthquake going on in his pants!
