Fantastic Fantasy Restoring Sharon Tate As A Human Being

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2019)

All in all, I loved this movie as it's about my era, the Sixties. I'll let other people go over the detail. What struck me was that in fantasizing the ending and letting Sharon Tate live while doing in her murderers, not only is Tarantino giving us a wonderful fantasy to live out, but in the process he restores this lovely young woman. Think about it, what does the name Sharon Tate conjure? Torture and murder. Tarantino attempts to rescue her from that fate and give us back us a decent young woman, who although not a brilliant actress, deserves to be remembered as more than a victim. Over the course of the last 50 years her murderers have taken on mythic proportions while Sharon has been reduced to Poor Sharon. Tarantino instead gives us a more accurate portrait of a squalid band of murdering psychopaths, who in this version of history, get what they so richly deserved, while Sharon goes on to a real life. Although I've disliked most of Tarantino's movies, he does much to redeem himself with this wonderful homage to Sixties Hollywood. Thank you Quentin.
