Atom · refreshed Search related

For Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, DiCaprio decided his character Rick Dalton should forget his lines on camera and then psychologically brutalize himself for it, creating the performance's rawest crisis beat. He and the cast improvised the Oval Office scene for two full days, producing a 16-minute first cut that had to be trimmed for the final film.
