DiCaprio And Pitt With Tarantino On An Awful Movie

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2019)

Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt together with director Quentin Tarantino team up in a movie about 1969 entitled,"Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood".
The story is about the journey of an aging actor Rick Dalton,who was based on Burt Reynolds,and his stunt double,Cliff Booth,who was based on Burt Reynolds' stunt double Hal Needham. Basically,it tells Dalton and Booth's journey on Hollywood during 1969 as the former tries to re-invent his acting career after Western movies and TV shows are coming to an end. Too bad that the movie was basically their journey together was told in a meandering and self-indulgent manner that no plot existed. Apparently,Tarantino tried to provide nostalgia about 60's Hollywood.Too bad that it became both dull and bore.
Added to the story was Sharon Tate.Being familiar with Tarantino in "Inglorious Basterds" - wherein the Jews overcame the Hitler and Nazi Germany - and "Django Unchained" - wherein the slaves overcome the white landlords, expect something similar to happen once Charlie Manson and his "family" appears.
No question that there were set expectations in the movie especially with the team up of DiCaprio and Pitt and the reputation of Tarantino.Too bad that they all combined for an awful movie. The non-existence of the plot and the revision of the crime involving Manson and Tate 50 years ago just did not work the third time around for Tarantino. Despite having the all-star ensemble together with the three,it just resulted in an awful movie with no story.
Too bad that fans of Pitt,DiCaprio and Tarantino will always admire any work that would come from the three.Even a trash like this movie will be considered a "classic". Skip it at all costs.
