If you haven’t watched Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood, be warned that there’re spoilers in this post. Also, this isn’t a synopsis or a review, it’s my thoughts on the movie — I enjoyed it so much I had to write about it.
If you’re going to watch it, please do so with a chill mood and just enjoy the story.
Okay, here it goes!
To me, this movie is an example of great storytelling.
Interestingly, I didn’t get much out of the trailer, so I almost didn’t want to watch the movie. But I love the 60’s (who doesn’t?), and Leonardo DiCaprio is famous for his taste in good scripts. Also, the trailer made me curious about Charles Manson’s involvement in the movie. So I went.
Walking out of the cinema, I realized the trailer showed just enough, and the title is exactly what the movie is about. They were a perfect package. Quentin Tarantino definitely understands what moves his audience.
As with all Tarantino films, the setting for Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood is punchy and extremely distinctive. If you love the 60’s, you’ll love the setting of this movie. Colorful, vibrant and accented with the fabulous sounds of the 60’s, I was reliving that golden era even though I wasn’t even born then.
