People haven't really understood the content and the context of this movie at all..

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2019)

Tarantino has a fan base, not because, he is a pioneer in violent cinema, but because he is an expert proponent of the dark side of human beings, and how that side emerges and is the very definition of the society we live in.
In the climax of OUATIH, we see Rick Dalton, getting invited for a drink minutes later he burns a hippie via his flame thrower! It is ironic as well as derivative how Tarantino deals with the society we live in, where the rich and powerful sit in high prizey dinner tables after doing mass genocides.
OUATIH is a masterpiece at many levels. On the surface level, it shows humorously the relationship between an actor and his stunt man, and a wife of a famous director who got lost in the charms of Hollywood.
Rick Dalton wants recognition as an actor, where Hollywood typecasts him. Cliff needs to do something for survival. And Sharon is faking her life inside rich playboy mansions and the actor in her is lost behind the identity of her husband. Tarantino fascinates in showcasing loneliness of the leads in a sarcastic manner.
The movie has cross cultural reference to the kind of times and movies that Hollywood of those times believed in. Loud, spaghetti Westerns, violence laden, angry mob cinema at its peak those days, whereas women are mostly sexualised for glamour. Rich poor divide showcased via hippies who wanted to kill the upper elite one fine night, ending up getting killed themselves.
The last 45 minutes is quintessential Tarantino at his best. Again on surface value it will appear to you it's another Tarantinos love for gore and violence climax. But Tarantino really outshone himself as he blurred the lines between protagonists and antagonists in the movie. The hippies who came to ambush the Dalton's! Were they really the bad guy? Or the main cast who killed those hippies brutally? What is the reason for this societal divide? Why people get away being so violent in this society? That's what really Tarantino establishes here.
Leonardo was very good. Brad Pitt really surprised me. AL Pacino still holds the magic of screen presence and rest all are fine. Must watch!!
