Take a trip to Hollywood

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2019)

I went to see this movie last night with a friend, and even thought I think she left feeling a little disappointed, the more I think about it the more I love it. I had never seen any of Tarantino's movies but I sure will see all of them now.
Is the plot incredible? Is the storyline amazing? No. But that's not the point anyway. This movie is not about the story, but about the atmosphere. And boy, it is good. The colors, the costumes, the beautifully shot scenes, the glamour, the lights. It's slow burning because you need time to enjoy the ride. It makes you feel like you're inside the movie, absorbing Hollywood in its purest state. The cast is amazing, Leonardo Dicaprio never disappoints, and I don't remember ever seeing him in a role as funny as this one. Brad Pitt is just as good, even though I wish we learnt more about his character's past. Margot Robbie is delightful. All of the Manson Girls were fabulous delivering a creepy yet seductive feel. The climax of the movie had me crying from laughter (I swear to God until the end of the movie, people couldn't stop giggling about it). Overall I loved it, it totally made me nostalgic about a time when I wasn't even born yet.
