To understand this film, you have to know history

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2019)

It is amazing how Tarantino took the hot topics of 1969 of Hollywood and transformed it into one story: The shifting of Hollywood into the new era, the rise of the hippies and the Manson family's murders.
The lead characters are fictionals but the rest of the characters are based on real people. Tarantino took the real story, added two fictional, relatable characters and changed the outcome of the real tragic event like he previously does in Inglorious Basterds and Django.
The directing and cinematography are amazing. Tarantino did this movie for himself and not for the fans. He created his art in his way, how he likes it and did not think about the critics or the majority of the fans which are used to like certain types of movies only.
He invests in his characters and scenes. Many scenes can be cut out and not hurt the story but he kept them because of the different directing style of the scenes although it has nothing to do with the story.
Tarantino used many different directing styles. He mixed many methods from old Hollywood and the new. If you are familiar with old and recent movies you will notice it.
There are also too many pop culture references which i loved. If you are fan of oldies than you will love it.
The performance by the leading actors were fascinating. Leonardo is known for his perfect acting in every character he takes over but Brad Pitt stole the show. We are used to see oscar worthy performance from DiCaprio but Pitt carried the story on his shoulder. I hope both of them get oscar notes. If leonardo gets it and Pitt not, then it will be really unfair. I am sure 100 percent that Tarantino will get oscar nomination for his directing. Margaret did not have too many lines in the movie but she delivered her character's story with only acting. In many scenes she only acted and did not talk and still told the story. Now that's acting. I hope she get noticed and nomination too by the Academy Awards.
This movie is not for everyone. People who understand Hollywood and movies will enjoy it but for the people who enjoys only Marvel movies, it's not your movie to watch.
