interesting, but could be better when 45 mins shorter

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2020)

Saw this for the first time yesterday.
interesting, as i read about Charles Manson and his 'family' a lot.
the film is too long, in my opinion, but what its saying is interesting, without there really being a plot...
i think this film is about the big scheme and sherade that Hollywood is, starting especially in the 60's.
actors were wannabe-heroes that thought they really were as smart, good-looking and brave as the heroes they played on screen. in real life drinking themselves delirious, watching television on the couch, especially their own series, watching how great they were; how bigga hero.
Even Bruce Lee is a bigmouth that actually doesnt fight too well; the stuntman easily throws him around.
actors always want a better role. another role. a next role. always afraid their fame will leave them.
the stuntman is in between two worlds. he doesnt play a role; he is IN the movie, but not really plays in it. the stuntman plays himself and is as dynamic in the movie as in the outside world.
When the Manson group enters the house of the actor, the movie starts, this time with the stuntman in the lead. He is on LSD for the first time. There is a big fight that never happened in real life; because the Manson group entered the house nextdoor, that one of Polanski/Tate.
The sherade of Hollywood stays alive. The actor that thought his fame was fading realizes others think he is cool in the movies. just like he thought already earlier his neighbours were great directors/actors.
Ugly hollywood wins again and the actors go on faking themselves in real their real life, wich is quite boring, filled with trroubles.
sharon tate stays alive in this movie, wich is great.
thats about what i got from this movie, after watching it 1 time. its nice. it gets you thinking. its not cliche, wich is good.
its not an american: 'hero is angry. hero kicks ass' movie like lots of others.
we are all just people. movies arent real.they show perfection on the screen, played by troubled actors in 130 takes for each scene...
but we all want to be a movie-hero.
or better yet, a famous actor.
