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.
