Loved it

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2020)

Okay, so I just, like ten minutes ago, watched it. And loved it ! Maybe because I was born in the late 60s, grew up watching all those old films shown the titles n theaters and posters everywhere, so I understand the vibe and feel, which made me feel nostalgic. Also, the uproar around Bruce Lee, one of my idols, if not The Idol for me ? The whole scene felt totally believable, but with a pinch of salt too - sorry Shannon... I loved Tarantino's meandering, a tribute to a bygone period and a 'what if' finale outcome where Sharon Tate and co are spared their real world fate. Also, the little tidbits sprinkled liberally in the film of characters and personal interactions, such as Rick and Trudi Fraser, with Schwarz as well then Cliff and Pussycat etc. Nice to see Kurt Russell and Luke Perry (may he RIP).
The whole pic just felt a little trip down Tarantino's twist on Hollywood of the 1960s, and how Sharon was saved. But the crazy assed Spahn ranch goons get their come uppance, in a very much spaghetti western way, just like the films Cliff starred in, hahaha. It was all great fun, loved it !
