Elephant in the room ...missed opportunity for creating a masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2019)

This film has a lot of plus points but also alot of flaws. It has elements that 10/10 and other elements that are 1/10.
Two major flaws that produce 1/10 Is the the Bruce Lee scene..it didn't work and the theme of film should of been about belief systems. Jay Sebring should of been the cynosure of the film as he had connections with the church of satanism and introduced people like Sammy Davis Jr to it ( see Eddie Murphy reference to it in comedians in cars getting coffee)
The founder of the church had connections with Manson family members and is rumoured to had play the devil in Rosemary's Baby.
The whole theme of satanism as a way new thought seems to of been a flight of attraction to some entertainers as a way to manifest thoughts which would improve their careers, especially faded stars ..so this would of linked with the fictional Dalton Character who you see throughout the film trying different ways to reprogram himself into producing his best performances even by threatening to kill himself in the films best scene.
This is why the Bruce Lee character was wasted as he had a different belief system it's well known that Lee was a great philosopher which he used in shows like Ironside.
(To be fair to QT showed very briefly with installing a sense of gravitas from his peers before the fight). The irony is that the fictional Cliff character display the moments of zen instead of Lee who becomes a object for QT creative mixing that is also reserved for the ending.
Watching the film I found this lack of mention of the connections to the occult to be a glaring omission of the beautiful visual display he had created ...almost willfully missed out.
It's a shame because if he had been braver in connecting the dots it could of been a masterpiece
...instead of just a good film.
