A love letter to the silver screen

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2020)

Most of, no All of the focus of this movie is on old classic Hollywood, its a love letter, an homage to the 50's silver Screen. Its interesting but there isn't really much of a plot here in terms of a movie. We follow Leonardo DiCaprio as screen actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double turned best friend Cliff Booth/Brad Pitt -both are flawless in their roles- as they struggle to keep pace with the swiftly evolving entertainment industry.
While working to continue their notoriety they face the demise of the golden age and also the Manson family which is about the only part of this that feels Tarantino-esque as he again rewrites history and BBQs a couple of people in the pool. The cast of familiar faces taking on bit parts in this movie is a veritable whos-who. I particularly enjoyed seeing Sharon Tate, Bruce Lee, Steve McQueen. Bottom line It's good.
