A love letter for Hollywood

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2020)

This movie is definitely not for everyone. It would be like if you asked everyone in the world to watch Lawrence of Arabia. You would get the same reaction from some: "too long" "too boring" "nothing happens". Not every film is for everyone. This film is meant to entertain those who've seen a lot of movies and appreciate Hollywood's history. Seeing the old neon signs of landmarks that are no longer there, the beautiful artwork of movie posters on every street, the colorful clothes and styles - the attention to detail is a result of love. No wonder QT decided to make a western TV series after this. Hearing him talk so much about the Virginian and how great the old westerns were really shows in this movie. And, the ending is exactly what I thought he would do - there's no rule that says you need to make a film about the past historically accurate unless you claim it to be. This is a well made movie without a doubt.
