This warmed my heart

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2019)

I love Tarantino movies, but this review isn't so much about the movie as it is the story itself. I know quite a lot about the Charles Manson Family and the evil they wrought. I doubt the average viewer of this movie can appreciate what Tarantino did with this story if you don't know the ugliness of what happened.
Instead of giving credence to the horror, Tarantino re-wrote the end to punish the killers and spare Sharon Tate and her friends.
I keep thinking about how beautiful the Sharon Tate character was. This movie honored her life. She wasn't just Roman Polanski's "wife", it portrayed her kindness and her budding career. I loved the part where she watched herself in the movie theater!
In the heartbreaking saga of Manson, Sharon Tate has been an afterthought. Showing us the fullness of her life and completely omitting how she died is a beautiful and meaningful act of justice. It robs the killers of their infamy and restores a sense of dignity to her memory.
I've never really seen that done before, and I just want to hug Tarantino for ending it the way he did. The movie was pretty good-it was a little slow, but I enjoyed it. The meaning of it in the end was so important and beautiful though.
