Another TARANTI-YES Masterpiece!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2019)

This movie was exemplary! It was inspired by Tarantino's childhood and experiences during the Golden Age of Hollywood. The performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Mike Moh, Luke Perry (RIP) and Al Pacino were impeccable. Tarantino's direction and writing, setting, cinematography, and storyline were very enthralling and exuberant. I really hope Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt collaborate for another film in the future.
The ending, however, was different from what I anticipated. In reality, the three members of the Manson family invaded Sharon's house and brutally murdered her, Jay Sebring, and three more of her friends. But in the movie, they invade the wrong house- Rick Dalton's. While Rick chills in the pool, Cliff Booth and Brandy the dog strikes them and subdues Tex and one of the female intruders. The other female intruder surprise Rick in the pool and acts like a crazy psycho. Then Rick burns her, re-enacting his "Inglorious Basterds" moment as we saw earlier in the film. I assumed Tarantino toned down the bloody and graphic violence that he normally depicts in his other movies, such as Reservoir Dogs and Django Unchained. Afterwards, Cliff is sent to hospital for his non-lethal injuries and Rick is invited to Sharon's house for a drink. So yeah, Tarantino certainly modified Sharon's fate.
I wish Margot Robbie, Timothy Olyphant, Damian Lewis, and Al Pacino had more screen time; I was really impressed by their portrayals of acclaimed actors in the past. I was slightly disappointed that James Marsden's scenes were completely removed despite filming them last year; I read he was going to portray young Burt Reynolds.
FYI, I don't write reviews often, but I felt compelled to do so as this was my first time seeing a Tarantino film in the theater. I will definitely rewatch this in about two weeks; it's my favorite movie of 2019. I strongly believe Tarantino will earn another Oscar next year as this is a serious contender for the Oscars race for 2020, especially for Best Picture. Anyways, do yourself a favor and go see this film on the big screen. Bring with your family, friends, and even your enemies.
Enjoy!
