A LOVE LETTER TO HOLLYWOOD

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2019)

Narrator: "When you come to the end of the line, with a buddy who is more than a brother and a little less than a wife, getting blind drunk together is really the only way to say farewell."

Once Upon a Time, there's Rick Dalton.. a stuttering, alcoholic, faded star who lived next door to Roman Polanski.
The time is Late 60's
Rick Dalton is a mega star of America's television show having a degraded career.
From a main character in many well-known TV series to 'just' an antagonist whose job is to raise the rating and popularity of the series.
alcohol addiction, stuttering, mood swing that often disserve him makes it even more worse.
Cliff Booth, a friend, a driver (Rick was sentenced to not be allowed to drive because he often violated traffic rules due to his drinking hobby), housekeeper and aslo a charismatic stunt double, easy going but firm. for nine long years always accompanying Rick, whenever and wherever he went.
The lack of job offer for Rick, also impacting to Cliff. But Cliff is still Cliff, complete with his loyalty and 'plainness' which drawn my sympathy.
==================================
it's an everyday life story, complete with (nearly none of) its complexity.
I don't know for sure what Tarantino wants to convey to the audience through this film, up until to the climax.
==================================
everything was nearly perfect.
every moment feels so right in place. every soundtrack matches the scene that played and does a great job to bring back those good memories to anyone who lived in that era, from start to end, everything was so balanced.
this is not the usual QT's movie i have watched before. there's a sense of maturity and lots of love in it. Almost like his diary of love to Hollywood's golden decade
an appreciation, a tribute to the most prolific Hollywood's era. A tangible form of sympathy to the dark background that inspired this movie.
It's not pulp fiction, but this is one of his best.
"Everbody love Pussycat"
"Yeah, Who doesn't?!!"
