Brad Pitt steals the show!

Rating: 7/10 (1 August 2019)

This movie didn't have a storyline like Django or inglorious bastards or kill bill or any other QT movie. But was I disappointed? No. This movie didn't need a story or a bang like his other movies. It was a homage to late 60's hollywood and lives of people around the era in that time, not lives of superstars but someone like a stunt double played by Brad Pitt. There is lot of loneliness in this movie and that's what I take away from this movie. Both leo and brad's character are of lonely men, however, brad's character happy at whatever life throws at him and never loses his sense of humor or backs away from any challenges. In every scene, Brad Pitt was awesome and what a mature performance it was. It wasn't like fightclub or inglorious bastards, it was character of a man who understands life and have gotten over everything life threw at him and keeps enjoying life as it is. Leonardo's character is coming in terms with these challenges. I always thought if these two did a movie together, Leonardo would overshadow brad pitt. But that wasn't the case. Leo was great in his role but Brad carried the movie throughout. I do think there could have been more actions. The build up was okay but there should have been more action scenes in that ranch where he meets the Mansen family and climax was good but feels like an appetizer compare to what we are used to seeing from tarantino. A perfect movie would have been less leonardo acting in those tv shooting as an actor and more building up the suspense around the mansen family. But still, its worth the watch and especially for Brad Pitt's performance. I thought Al Pacino and Kurt Russell usage were inconsequential. But yeah, I found the movie to be philosophical and if you can relate to it that way with your own unique meaning then it is great. We all felt loneliness at some point in time. But what's one outlook in life can make all the difference. I can't imagine any other hollywood actor play the role of Cliff Booth other than Brad Pitt, that's how good he was!
