An Ode to 1969

Rating: 8/10 (19 August 2019)

I went in to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood thinking it was going to be Tarantino's ode to the movie about movies. After all, he's a past master at paying homage to the gangster film, the western, the martial arts flick, the nazi film, et al.
But after watching it, I'm pretty much convinced it's his ode to 1969! Simply brilliant how he captures the era...the LA boulevards, the signboards, the Vietnam war, the hippies, acid tipped cigarettes, spaghetti westerns, Bruce Lee, the Manson cult, radio commercials, and yeah the music. Definitely the music.
