A masterpiece that only intellectuals who has mastered life will understand the premise/point

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2020)

The entire movie was beautifully shot. Classic Tarantino camera angles and slow panning so that you could grasp all the detail of that specific scene. The multiple story lines and characters force you to use critical thinking skills. Pertaining to where they are in their lives respectfully. You have who I'll refer to as an "aging movie star" whose confidence has expelled and is completely uncertain of his future in acting and in life. Then you have a stunt double who is the cool guy who doesn't care about the attention but is masterfully trained smooth keen and tactical due to always practicing stunts over his career. The stunt double has always played second fiddle to the movie star so he could care less about what direction his career goes as long as he has work. The stunt doubles development was nominal as was the third character an aspiring female actress. These secondary stories with these two characters were entertaining and hilarious especially the hippie ranch. You should take from Margo robbies character that all she wanted to do was be appreciated for her character and know that she was respected. You should take from Bradd Pitts character that he was always a smooth man who understands life that will continue to go with the flow regardless. You should understand from Leo dicaprios character that Tarentino wanted to get a point across and that was clear for the entire movie . The point is you have to believe in yourself and be confident no matter what. Leo's character sought affirmation the entire movie. He received pitty from the 8 year old girl who boosted his morale as well as the director speaking to him after the scene in the saloon. Those were purely confidence boosters for Leo's character and he took that and ran with it. At the end of the movie Leo's character is so happy to be talking with his neighbors in hopes that them accepting him will some how propel him and his career or at the very least keep his career afloat . Other people's opinion of him propelled him and gave him confidence. The entire movie Leo sought affirmation from outside sources. When sadly that is not how you should gain your confidence. Confidence comes from within confidence is something you tell yourself you have. The last 20 minutes of the move were an accumulation of the first 2 hrs . The plot lined up and that is why the ending makes perfect sense with the hippies and flame thrower. Great movie overall.
