Happy endings are Oh! Sooo satisfying! Bravo!

For those of us old enough to remember the Manson 'episode' of California's and Hollywood's histories, and simultaneously young enough to have been inalterably shaken by that horror, OUaTiH is a justifiably satisfying re-write that exploits everything we love about movies and Hollywood, while suppressing the gross underbelly of humanity.
The two A-list leads are our heroes! Bravo to Hollywood for building-up the 'hero worship' genre and to Tarantino for grabbing-on to it and faithfully stoking it for such a satisfying climax! Pitt deserves another Oscar nod for just being the golden-haired, low-key, stoic hero who separates what's important from what is not, and is just what we need at a time when everything else seems to he crumbling around us. Simultaneously, Tarantino glorifies the peppy pretty girls, the free spirits of the era, the mediocre TV and film efforts, and a sampling of iconic movie theaters of the time (and an excellent portrayal of the automotive mediocrity), while driving us down memory lane.
Kudos! You will enjoy. A little slow in some places, otherwise...Yay!!
