Wasted 3 Hours...

Rating: 4/10 (25 August 2019)

Hello There
I will review another aspect of the movie in each paragraph.
I don't even know where to begin reviewing this movie but it is full of flaws. Like cmon I am not expecting it to be flawless but this is way too much. Everything except the world building, choice of songs and acting is terrible in this movie. And none of these are enough to carry the movie on their own when rest of the stuff is absolutely terrible.
Tarantino just tried to show how much he knows about the 60's Hollywood in this movie and because of his brag, there is no storyline. Movie is just like 60's Hollywood this, 60's Hollywood that... And it goes on.
As the man himself says a good movie should make you wanna go sit down, get yourself a slice of pie and talk about it. But when I was out from this movie, I didn't want to say a single word about it because it was obvious that it was really bad but all I wanted was to tell my friends to not waste their 3 hours with this.
Movie's plot end in the first 15 minutes and rest of the movie is just random events that have absolutely no connection between each other. This is what it says on IMDB page: ''A faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age in 1969 Los Angeles.'' and it is a big lie.
Then lets get to our characters. To me, Brad's character was the only tolerable character is the whole movie. Caprio's character's personality changes drastically over time but when it is about to take the sharpest turn we just get a ''6 Months Later'' and boom, over a narration his character is a whole new person now.. Don't get me started on Sharon Tate, her whole arc was about the last 20 words she said at the end of the movie which took like a minute and yes that is her whole arc.
I thought this movie was going to be about Manson murders but then no again. Movie has nothing to do with that. Nothing in the movie leads up to the murders and then it just comes out of nowhere. I know that the nothing in real life led up to the Manson murders but if you put that in your movie, you need to set a backstory for it otherwise it just makes no sense.
Ending was great (still not enough to make you sit down and go through this movie just for the ending) but it was predictable. Because that is just what Tarantino does. He takes inspiration from real life events then changes them and makes is satisfying for the audience. It was obvious that none of our guys were gonna die and it was going to be murderers who dies at the end of the day.
Some people think that Tarantino just created a new genre of movies with this but soon they will understand it. That kind of people think something is very genius and smart when they see it for the first time but when they see it for second time they just realize it was just a stupid attempt.
And I might call this movie a ''Modernized'' Pulp Fiction considering this movie tells you multiple events but this time these events has nothing to do between them and they are completely irrelevant and another difference is that we don't get different characters in these events.
Lastly I don't even know how this movie got a 10 minute standing ovation at that film festival and I had went to the Hollywood with this exact same script, they would reject it instantly and laugh at me.
