A Fairy Tale we can all appreciate.

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2019)

I came across a very very decent review that mentioned," this film is not for everyone.." and I believe that proves true with this film. The same can be said for almost all Quentin Tarantino's film's. You either see the humor or you don't. You either think they are classics or you don't. You think it's too violent or you don't, and again I think that proves to be the case with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. As the film begins you are dropped into the world of Hollywood in 1969 and all that that involves. Hippies, drugs, actors and actresses, beautiful sets and images of L.A., movie sets and cameras, and of course lots of cigarettes. But the magic with Tarantino is he shows you just how extraordinary the ordinary can be be even when he has super star Hollywood A list members portraying complex characters. Leo is incredible and brings the same star power he oozed with in "Wolf of Wall Street" and that star power never goes dim through the almost three hour film. Brad Pitt was the hero we all deserved and the one we needed And reveals just how magical the actor can be given any type character just like he has throughout his career. What can't be said of Margot Robbie and her Almost literal becoming of the late Sharron Tate. Robbie is truly a student of the game and profession of acting, she brings Mrs. Tate to life again. It's a movie you have to watch to understand why it's so special and of course even involving the manson family murders is incredibly shaky ground, but the way Tarantino ends the film is truly a classy and an even noble way to end a film with the specific context. Simply put this is a story about," what if the the fairy tale did exist? What if the bad guy Didn't win?"
