Once Upon A Time In Hollywood


 A former TV star (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double buddy (Brad Pitt) struggle to make it in Hollywood in 1969.

 

Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) was once the star of a popular TV series in the 1950s, but now finds himself on the fall in the volatile showbiz world. Meanwhile, Dalton's stunt double and friend Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) has become reliant on him as a driver. Dalton shares a building with French-Polish director Roman Polanski and his wife, actress Sharon Tate, who are both at the top of their professions. Quentin Tarantino's ninth film examines these personalities and their careers during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

The majority of the film is a homage to Hollywood and the golden age of television and film. It frequently comes out as indulgent, as if Tarantino is more interested in demonstrating his directing abilities than in conveying a whole tale. But he can develop such interesting characters with deep journeys that it doesn't matter in the end if many sequences might have been cut without affecting the story. Regardless of their ultimate significance, it's difficult to envision the movie without them. As a result, the film will put your patience to the test and make you question, "Where is this all going?" Thankfully, the filmmaker doesn't hold back in the climax, allowing the jigsaw pieces to fall into place for a magnificent conclusion.

There are many creative licences used, so don't expect historical accuracy — this video goes above and beyond. It's a throwback to the golden age of Hollywood. The production design and cinematography are both noteworthy, with the former transporting you to the 1960s and the latter providing sweeping vistas of 1960s Los Angeles and its huge homes. Because both Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are amazing to watch, the camera follows all of the action and emphasises every tiny aspect of the people and their feelings. While displaying Dalton's anxieties and how vulnerable his starry ego has grown over the years, DiCaprio is especially enjoyable. The moments of DiCaprio filming a show's pilot are a tribute to his acting ability. The rest of the cast is also devoid of weak connections. Characters played by Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, and Kurt Russell also make an appearance. But, like it or not, this is Tarantino in his element, and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' once again confirms that no other cinematic storyteller compares to him.
