Waited till June 2020 to watch this...and it's the most promising film to have come out in 2019! Not Tarantino's top 5 though

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2020)

Arguably, this is not even top 5 out of Tarantino's 9 films for his fans (audiences saying Tarantino's most overrated, overhyped film ever). However, after watching this latest masterpiece, OUTIH has officially replaced my childhood Tarantino classic (fyi, kids weren't supposed to watch this) Kill Bill on my own top 5 of Tarantino's films!
Judging from all the promotions & trailers, I thought to myself this is a very different Tarantino movie as there doesn't seem to be any Tarantino gore violence being seen around here. And that is alright because I didn't mind that since this is just a comedy-drama and I was happy to see Tarantino trying to move away from his usual violent style after Django Unchained & The Hateful Eight.
Why people don't like this movie is because it's not like a usual Tarantino's other film due to the lack of his regular violent style as mentioned earlier. What they don't understand is that this is Tarantino's comedic & thoughtful tribute to the late 60s Hollywood that some of us younger audience may have never seen and experienced before. I started appreciating the pop culture back in those days and for some unknown reason, Leonardo DiCaprio singing & dancing to Jim Lowe's "Green Door" song just keeps popping up in my brain cells for the past month, lol!
One of the most interesting films of 2019, this is probably the first Tarantino film that I think boys and girls can enjoy. Characters that are either fictional or non-fictional such as Sharon Tate, the Manson family (a bunch of weirdos) and even BRUCE LEE (although it's an addition people are unhappy with)! This just makes Tarantino's screenplay more engaging & entertaining at the same time because by the end of it, you'll recognise that he wants his viewers to immerse into his alternate vision of the 60s Hollywood...just like what he does with his other films.
The first 15 minutes compromises of the introduction of the character before we start off exploring 3 different storylines; Leo's character Rick Dalton's tarnished acting spell, Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth on his trip to an old film company patrolled by some hippie cult and Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate (real-life Hollywood star in the 60's), which might be a pointless, short segment to look at but it fits into the historical context of the time this film was set in and she also happens to be Rick's neighbour.
After going through the first 2 hours, everything comes together in the last 45 minutes of the film! Unexpectedly, the most surprising last 45 minutes you'll ever see in movies! Irritating, intense but a lot of fun at the same time. I'm sure based on the fact that Sharon Tate is a non-fictional character, you would definitely want to do some research afterwards because I have found some stuff that has broken my heart and furious at the same time.
Tasteful & natural chemistry between Leonardo DiCaprio & Brad Pitt, I was so excited to see two of my favourite film superstars on-screen together! That's the feeling I'll get if I get to meet Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time EVER! Leo's performance as Rick was funny, charming and quirky but it's about Brad Pitt's coolness & charisma that stole the show, even as a supporting actor. As soon as Brad won an Oscar for this film, I had doubts whether he deserved it or not but whenever Brad is in a Tarantino film, it's just pure satisfaction. Also, his character Cliff Booth was certainly the most interesting to watch but that's up to you to decide.
After seeing this film, I have high expectations for the Korean masterpiece Parasite (still haven't watched it yet ) as they did beat other films in 2019 such as Joker, 1917 or Ford vs Ferrari for Oscars Best Picture! OUTIH is A MUST WATCH, even if you're not a Tarantino fan!
