Review QT

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2020)

Tarantino completes his Western trilogy in Beverly hills and not in Pine hills. Possibly the least violent (the film has no scenes that can be classified as violent) of all his movies, Tarantino also does not engage in any famous teasing, leaving everything to tone to create his mosaic. Adapting to an audience that is learning about him, Tarantino uses vivid colours and strong sound to make his impact. This film has been favourably received and he should be grateful for that, in times when rotten tomatoes grow easily.
Clearly, reminiscing on 60's California is not enough and will not linger on for the duration of 2: 30 hours, enter Margot Robbie who fails in her appearance of a sweet distraction. The film passes as the dynamic duo of Brad and Leo work their way through an unfriendly and smarter-than-thou neighbourhood with street smartness that resembles Eastwood and Wallach in the older movies. One can feel the strong climax coming up as this pace makes things quite conspicuous.
Leonardo Di Caprio deserves a special mention for using his experience as an actor in helping Tarantino push this one through. I rate this as an 8.
PS: A warning and call to all is said here to bring an end to the 'Allegory Mania' that is just not quitting Hollywood right now. This social disease comes from a silly middle class sitting out there and can percolate easily into the professional classes. Almost every scene of the film can be traced to an obvious derivation with ease. This must stop or the films may end up as derived cinema. At one point, it almost felt as if my own mundane life was being singularly captured on film.
