Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2019)

Great movie. I thought it was a bit slow for the first half, wondering where it was going, until I realized it was just a tale about life in Hollywood and L.A. in 1969, with all of its problems and challenges facing the human condition in that time. Brilliant acting by Brad Pitt, and Leo DiCaprio. The pace picks up in the 2nd half, and then they tie in the Charles Manson cult part of the plot. Tarantino did a fabulous job of recreating L.A. in 1969; I remember it from my youth and they paid great attention to the details, even to the road signs, the old Hollywood Pantages theater, and even the old California license pates. Loved the movie, and the characters, and the acting, writing and directing.
