An Overrated Boring And Long Film

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2019)

No question that a combination of Quentin Tarantino and two of the biggest actors in Hollywood - Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt - are receiving enormous hype especially from fans of all three who expected a great film from them.Apparently,that is what many have not seen but refused to admit.
"Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" has a zigzagging plot, empty dialogues,confusing subtleties, and a poor nostalgic effect especially when it tries to tells the story of Hollywood in the 1960's represented by Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth as well as their day-to-day life. It tries to bring back the viewer during that era when Hollywood was losing its innocence due to the numerous changes that are happening.Added to that story is Sharon Tate.Too bad that Tarantino once again tries to apply some thematic elements in her story which he did in his previous films. But it does not work this time. While it was evident that he is trying to present a "new" picture of Charlie Manson and Sharon Tate,it was apparent that the viewer is not concerned very much about them as it tells the story of Dalton and Booth. What is even worse is that the narrative was presented in a confusing manner. And what about the scene involving Bruce Lee?What is Tarantino trying to do?
Overall,it was not a well-made movie. Tarantino pushed his luck too far with it and some viewers even felt that he created a "genius" of a film.But in the end,it was a long,boring and overrated movie.
