Drama

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2019)

Subject line sez all.
But... I have to write more, so I will. Odd to think, but this flick comes closest to Jackie Brown in tone and purpose. The difference is that QT adapted Jackie Brown from a novel, and he wrote Once Upon a Time pretty much from the ground, up.
But it's pretty much a bestiary of types. I felt that QT hits the ground running with that utterly fantastic confab in the bar between DiCaprio's character and Pacino's character. It sets the tone for the whole movie: Who is Dalton, who is Booth, and what do they mean to us, today? Whether that question rings true as a relevant question hinges on whether Once Upon a Time is true drama or not.
I say; it's a relevant question, and Once Upon a Time is true drama.
Dig it.
