Great actors getting the rightful send off? Boy was I wrong. The Story of Hollywood's Actors' lives in 1969, with a twist.

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2019)

I didn't know this movie was about something so wrong. My reaction is the real deal to realizing what it was actually about. I know a lot about what the movie was about but didn't even think of that until the final 25 minutes. I completely decided to not read on descriptions or anything on this movie as just by seeing the actors involved made me excited to watch this movie.
I came into it without knowing what was about to happen.. Normally that is never the case.
I started watching the movie and I believed it be a story about to good friends that love totally opposite lives and that they worked together on a daily basis. This was true. I expected crazy parties and fun events. We got a bit of that.
We also got to witness a very well portrayed Bruce Lee vs a big southern, stunt double. That scene was marvelous and comedic. I would pay again to watch that scene alone. Bruce Lee is hyping up the actors and the set but Brad Pitt can't help but laugh... what happens next is spectacular.
We witnesses Leonardo DiCaprio in raw form acting on a western set and needing to "rehype" himself to give a better performance. In those scenes alone, the Movie within the movie made the actual movie seem less interesting because the acting in the movie, within the movie was done so well. I felt I was in that western movie. I wanted to see more of the MOVIE within the movie! Maybe we will get that one day because Leo did a great job as the actor in the movie within the movie.
Brad does his own thing while Leo acts, and during his time away runs into some unordinary people and ends up in a place that gives of "kill bill" vibes. When arriving, I couldn't help but think, Is Brad Pitt going to be involved in 1969 Western movie plot while Leonardo is ACTING an old, 1850s Western Movie plot? It was amazing. It almost left me speechless.
When both scenes ended, I thought Brad Pitt's scene was just another "day in the life" of being Leo's stunt double. But oh boy was I wrong..
Life goes on for both of them and it looks like the movie is just a SEND OFF of all these great actors.. Brad walking away in the spotlight with his dog and cigarette. Margot pregnant and sleeping in Hollywood. Leonardo Practicing his lines in pool.. You know, a perfect goodbye. Boy was I wrong!
I will not spoil the movie. Just know that the 2.20 hours of film time is not the climax although there is almost 6 climax's in the movie. The grand climax is extra ordinary and touches on a sensitive subject and makes us feel so good about doing the right thing to the wrong people, very badly. "Well deserved" type of feeling. "If that were to happen on my watch" type feeling.
In those final moments, I couldn't help but wonder, Is this really about to happen? This awful tragedy being portrayed by great actors and a genius director?
Brad Pitt and Leonardo give justice to people that would want to hurt Hollywood's actors. What I mean by "Justice" is by doing the maximum amount of pain to rotten people with the tools you or any actor may have at their disposal whilst at home.
I rate this movie a 10 because this was 3+ movies within another and it included a real tragedy with a an alternate look on what could have been a different life for Hollywood's best.
Perfect story telling. Great humor. Great directing. Overall, a movie that is a rarity nowadays. This is art. A rewatchable movie. A classic.
