Conflicted about this flick

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2019)

This movie has some great themes-friendship and loyalty, the challenge of aging, career decline and reinvention, moral codes and the differences between kindness and evil...all wrapped up in a story about acting and Hollywood. The acting is great by everyone and the story is interesting. The thing about this film that is disturbing is realizing that Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring were mercilessly murdered, and the Manson family killers were not stopped. So whats the point of this storyline? Somehow it seems disrespectful of the memory of the deceased to create an alternate happy ending for what was a horrible crime. That's what has left me conflicted about what is otherwise a very good movie.
