it seems like if a child wrote a poem about his own city.

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2020)

This is not exactly your typican tarantino film. by "typical" i meant the tension building slowly and the huge climax going on for our aumsement. it's not always like this, but in general it's how it goes. this movie is not exactly that. tarantino was a child on this time, and this seems what he wanted hollywood to become in those days: everything to mingle and just happening. we can see the love of westerns we know he has, but also how he sses them as contemporary heroes in a time they started to be forgotten.
then everyone travels by car with loud music, with different clothing, with the big neon lights on the food stalls, and somehow all mixed is kinda of a child assimilating the world for the first time. there's also a lot of cool history mingled here, which i found very amusing because i'm not from and never been to US, and didn't know a lot about the ranch where manson used to live. then how the metalanguage unfolds, the movies within a movie, the hanging ouy with specific characters from that time, serving the puurpose tarantino imagine them to serve in those days. this seems to me kinda of a child fantasy about one LA that in a way didn't happen but it was his young vision imagining happenings on his own naiveness.
it's true the acting is awesome, cliff booth is a great tarantinesque character and deserves to be a fan favorite right now, the ensemble cast is perfect. it's awesome to see luke perry (rip) emile hirsh, tymothy olyphant, even damian lewis - guys that are underrated in general - having their own moments. i enjoyed all manson family characters and margot robbie worked as a fluffy cloud iluminating everyone around her the film gives them space to that. also to see rik dalton's career fading bcause of the times...even though i don't agree exactly with that vision due to what the movie reserved to him.
then the music is great, the script could have had more on point dialogues, but i guess tarantino didn't want exactly that (even though dialogues are good just don't expect a mcroyale with cheese kinda of thing), the costumes are fantstic, and the movie language is amazing. heck even the narrator. it might not be my favourite movie of the year, not even my favourite tarantino film - for now is pulp fiction an the hateful 8 - but this is how tarantino sees hollywood and in a way how he wanted hollywood to become.
poetry is about "what could've happened" and history is about "what happened" - aristotle said something like this. tarantino is doing poetry in a lot of his films. here i feel it was his inner child writing a fantasy for the future tarantino to create. i believe people will enjoy, if they don't expect a "typical" tarantino film. but please check this one out, it toally deserves.
