Tarantino finally perfects the "Hangout" Movie

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2019)

Many of the negative reviews I see are about how this films plot is at a snail's pace. What these people don't realize is that this is probably Mr. Tarantinos goal. He created both a beautifully shot movie that encapsulates the essence of 60's Hollywood and managed to create the perfect Hangout movie. He himself coined the term Hangout movie and the meaning of it stems from the idea that by the end of the film you should feel like you have you are/could be friends with the characters. Because of this, most if not all Hangout movies move really, really slow. Not focusing on the plot so much as the characters and how they interact with one another. Some of the most notable hangout movies include Rio Bravo (1959) and Fast Times at Ridgemont High(1982). Many of Tarantino's other films could also be considered Hangouts most notably Jackie Brown(1997) and to a lesser extent Pulp Fiction (1994) and Hateful Eight (2015). This film does everything right, is it slow? Yes. But I never found myself board at all. And ultimately I found myself being wishing I could be friends with Brad Pitts and Leo Decaprios characters. In my opinion Mr. Pitt steals the show. and Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate is so perfect that I don't believe any one else could have even come close. Do yourself a favor and WATCH THIS MOVIE. Even if it may not be a cup of tea, it's a work of art and should be treated like one.
Bravo Mr. Tarantino
