Great film

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2019)

I loved this film. It is a strangely moving film, and I only vaguley know who Sharon Tate is as the headline of the tragedy that befell her. The sixties are foreign to me, too, except what I've seen in films, so Tarantino's love of that era allows him to really capture the essence and translate it to the viewer because I was completely caught up in it.
There is controversy apparently that Tate was "sidelined" in the film, but I thought she perfectly embodies that time and music and I think that's what Tarantino was going for maybe. She seems lovely, and full of light, and I imagine the goal was to capture that light and keep it going, now forever, in this rewrite of what happened. I kept dreading the scene that was coming but when it didn't, it made the loss even more palpable, and also made me happy.
It's also a very funny film, and an absolute joy to watch visually. The acting is excellent, Brad Pitt is really good. Caprio is as always, perfect.
