Beautiful but also the least enjoyable film by Quentin Tarantino

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2019)

Before you call me a hater and press that "not helpful" bottom, please just hear me out for a minute.
I love Quentin Tarantino, I think he is one of the best director and screenwriter in this era, and Pulp Fiction is also my favorite film of all time.
I can see what Quentin's trying to convey in this movie, and there're still many scenes that's amazingly acted and well written, like the scene with Sharon Tate bumping into the theater, to see her own film The Wrecking Crew, and the scene with Rick Dolton at the set of Lancer, with Timothy Olyphant as James Stacy and Julia Butters as Trudi Fraser, and of course the scenes with Mike Moh as Bruce Lee, all of them are extremely well made, and I have a great time with it, but here's where I don't like about the film, Quentin once said that this movie is his most "personal" film over the years, it's like a love letter to the old Hollywood, but the reason why I think it's his worst film is because of his own selfish desire of telling his own fantasy, ignoring the structure of the story and the audience, there are way too many scenes that should be cut out, like the scene where Brat Pitt driving for three minutes straight there's no purpose in anything in that scene, and I mean there's NOTHING, nothing for the story, nothing for the character, and NOTHING HAPPENED in the first 80 minutes.
You may say that it's own portrayal of the old Hollywood, just like what Afonso Cuaron did to Rome, but Quentin's films always have a basic structure in it, whether it's The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill or Django Unchained, and that's what make his film so enjoyable because he knows how to tell a story in his own way, but not only did Once Upon In Hollywood has (almost) no story at all, it's just a montage of Quentin's fantasy, and it's definitely not something unique, nor is it something different, the only scene that has a sense of purpose of this story is the ending, which is amazing, but that's about it, I can't see what's great about this movie whether than a series of short films combined, I left the theater with nothing except disappointment.
If you liked it than that's good for you, honestly I'm kind of jealous if you do, but neither way, I really just can't enjoy this film as it's own way, not now at least.
