Director: Quentin Tarantino

Genre: Drama/Thriller

Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” is an ode to his love for Cinemas during the time he has experienced through books and movies. This is his ninth film after a long decade, mesmerizing his fans around the globe. And yet this is not a film that hardcore fans of “Pulp Fiction”, “Inglorious Bastards” and “Django Unchained” may be expecting.

This is the tale of Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is at the dusk of his career with the passing time. Formerly playing the lead actor, by 1969 he gradually started to get roles of getting beaten most of the time. That fear of no longer being current, no longer being relevant infects every actor in the movie industry to some degree or another.
The constant support for him was his body double stuntman and friend Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) who shares a bond with him as “More than a buddy and less than a wife”. He is infamous for his brash reputation in the industry but still looking out for an opportunity again in the industry.

The next-door neighbor is a wannabe actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), wife of a famous director Roman Polanski with a mysterious background. Rick Dalton takes pride in being their neighbor and boosts himself whenever he gets low.
This is a film set in a stunningly evoked Hollywood past. A deep core of darkness lurks in the glamorous world. There were some scenes from the infamous Playboy parties depicting the lifestyle of the actors during 1969, the rise of the hippie’s movement, the rise of cowboy films, and the era of machoism movies.

Tarantino’s movies have always stood out even in today’s generation because of his powerful imagination and strong writing at a time where VFX and CGI have overpowered the film industry. His hallmark is still loved and relevant in today’s filmmaking because of his stylized violence, ability to alter the history, pop culture, hard-hitting dialogues, and memorable characters.

The cinematic experience is out of the world, will take you straight to the era of the 60s. The old Hollywood Industry, the 60s music, the vintage cars, the hippies, the television set, and the popular TV shows.DiCaprio & Brad Pitt are, as you expect, simply sensational and will thrill you on each scene. The teary-eyed expression of Leonardo during a scene when a little actress tells him “That was one of the best scenes she has ever seen” and the swag that Brad Pitt carries is just mind-blowing. The intersection of the three stories justifies Tarantino’s style of drawing parallel storylines.
