An explosive alternative to history

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2020)

I can't stop thinking about this picture. The portrayal of ordinary people, wanna-be-stars just living their lives, going about their business in that 1970's 'light,' so bright, yet dull. I felt all of the anger and frustration that Tarantino orchestrated with this alternate story line of the Sharon Tate/LaBianca murders. This movie brought me uncontrollable sobbing thinking about those innocent lives cut short by that sick demented group lead by Charles Manson. The emotion was so strong it made me stand and want to be right there with Pitt and DiCaprio swinging away at those violent crazies. If only there had been real people like that at the right place and that Manson family had gone to the wrong place. How that would have been justice. Thank you Tarantino for expressing the pain that that brutality brought to so many people and for doling out a better consequence...even if it was only in a movie.
