The end I always wanted

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2019)

I was around in 1969 in Oz as a teenager and the killings horrified and fascinated me, Oz media was extremely censored at that time and everything was whitewashed or euphanisms were used. Read Helter Skelter in the mid 70s and learned everything. These events haunted my teenage years and were always in the background, I didnt realise how much until I saw this movie. The ending was satisfying beyond belief, I walked out of the theatre and actually felt good, all the while knowing of course it wasnt real, but it was soooooooo good to see it. Loved the saturated colours and the clothes, cars and general feeling were 100 percent right, even for a strictly media repressed Oz teenager who only dreamt of clothes like Margot wore in the movie.. Tarantino's meandering dialogue worked, especially with Dalton in his trailer beating himself up, huge laugh. Bonding between Brad and Leo marvellous to see, all the actors gave everything they had, the movie just worked in every way possible. Bears no semblance to reality but great fun, giving us a chance to relive history in a good way, even the violent scenes. I loved it.
