A film for people who love the 60s and Hollywood nostalgia

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2020)

There really is no other film much like Once upon a time in Hollywood. It's cinematography and music score are enough to make anyone with enough knowledge of the late 60s and the golden age of Hollywood, leap with joy. I can remember seeing this in theaters on the day it came out and since it was new no one really new what to expect going into the movie. No one even really knew what the movie was about. And that's a good thing. Movies where you can guess what happens at the end are not good movies, and this is not one of those movies. I don't know what I was expecting when I saw this, but I pleasantly surprised to find this my Quentin Tarantino movie. I'll always love django unchained, but that movie can't be compared to this one at all. Once upon a time isn't even a film, really. it's Quentin creating his own fairytale universe with his special Tarantino touch of unnecessary but oddly entertaining dialogue, sudden beautiful and bloody violence that startles you to your core, and those detailed and distinct characters that feel real enough to walk right off the silver screen. In short this is the best Quentin Tarantino film I've ever seen, But I know for sure some of you will not like this film no matter how much you like Quentins work. This movie is not for everyone. If you've never seen a old movie (and by old I mean older then the 1980s and 1970s) then this movie will probably not interest you. If your not a fan of long dialogues and scenes of characters narrating over themselves, again this is not the movie for you. If you don't know who Charlie mason Is or have never heard of the mason family murders. Then look those up before watching this movie I recommend doing that or the ending will seem pointless. But if your a fan of any of the stuff I mentioned above or, nostalgia and golden age Hollywood stuff, this may end up being one of your favorite movies. And Leonardo DiCaprio, and brad Pitt are in this, that equals a good time for everyone watching. I also believe Leo would have won best actor for this movie, if Joaquin Phoenix's joker wasn't released the same year as this.
