Quentin Tarantino's film directed by Leo DiCaprio, performances of Brad Pitt – Entertainment News, Firstpost

Once upon a time in Hollywood bursting with the kind of palpable love for cinema that only a pbadionate movie enthusiast like Quentin Tarantino can bring to the screen. He uses cinematic mythology and pop culture for a magical imitation of reality. It is a celebration of the kind of films that first inspired Tarantino himself as a child

In a modern film industry increasingly dependent on VFX and CGI, Tarantino is still distinguished because his imagination and writing have always been the most important special effects. Throughout his work, he has retained some postmodern features – the pastiche of pop culture, stylized violence, bad-crack dialogue, excellent music choices and stylish characters (and foot badism) . His ninth feature, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has all this and more. However, they fail to synthesize themselves to form a truly hypnotic whole.

However, the film is no less captivating. Once upon a time in Hollywood slowly building up, accumulating characters and taking various detours before breaking out spectacularly like a batshit. Its climax will leave you in a delusion of dopamine, that only Tarantino can provoke. Watching one of the most anticipated movies at the opening night in a theater filled with Tarantino fans is the manifestation of what makes the movie community's experience so magical. And many festival-goers at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival have queued for the film more than five hours before the premiere, hoping to win a ticket for the festival's most prominent release.

Tarantino had urged festival-goers not to spoil anything. for future audiences. So it is precisely what we are going to do.

The year is 1969 and the decor is Hollywood: Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a television actor who was once very popular in the 50s and early 60s, whose career is currently very disappointing . typecast as the villain in every series. He is often stupid on the set and became a pitiful alcoholic. He wants to introduce himself into the cinema and his agent, Marvin Schwarz (Al Pacino), advises him to work on spaghetti westerns like Sergio Corbucci. Rick's character seems to mean the fight of an actor – and perhaps Tarantino's own fight – for relevance in a constantly evolving film industry.

Rick's stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), who has a bit of a problematic background, has been reduced to playing the role of pilot but he is still available to help boost Rick's declining confidence . He is the embodiment of the tough guy from Hollywood. In a spectacular scene, he even faces Bruce Lee in hand-to-hand combat.

Their neighbors next door on Benedict Canyon are Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and Roman Polanski. Elsewhere, the Manson family is growing in number and inferiority. And all their paths intersect on that terrible night of August 8, 1969. Does history repeat itself or will it be rewritten, foreseeing Inglourious Basterds of the catharsis style to rid the world of homicide criminals?

The magnetic attraction that films have exerted on Tarantino is felt in almost every image of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . He spends much of the first half creating the 1969 world in Hollywood from his childhood memories, while Rick and Ciff go past the neon lights on Hollywood Boulevard streets in their cream-colored Cadillac, listening to Hits from the 60s. The story told through his eyes boasts of an astonishing level of visual detail and inventiveness. He also shows us a variety of Rick's vignettes filming for a western and gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the industry. But he often spends too much time on these sets filmed in the film, rather than on the main storyline.

Tarantino not only pays homage to the various cinematographic styles that he has enjoyed, he also includes many visual eye clichés to his own works, from Jackie Brown to Death Proof . The film is full of memorable moments, ranging from the absurdly funny (Pitt stumbling on acid and trying to feed a dog) to unusual tenderness (DiCaprio collapses in front of a child actor).

DiCaprio is, as you would expect, simply sensational and thrills with every emotional explosion. Pitt is also sensational, combining an anti-hero charisma with his unmistakable boastfulness. Robbie's talents are terribly underused because of his insufficient role and his dialogue. We just see her swinging, shining and being pretty, as if she were a sweet and innocent angel who does not belong to this cruel world. With her, the badism of Tarantino's feet is even more pronounced with an excess of sensualized kicks.

Tarantino obviously had to follow the badembly process in time for Cannes, and it shows. There are strange editing choices that give the film a nervous and scalded quality that ravages its narrative. And that could easily have been at least half an hour shorter.

If Tarantino really commits to retirement after shooting 10 films, he is then unhappy He was once in Hollywood is his penultimate. Although very ambitious in his scope, he lacks the finesse and excitement of Tarantino's previous efforts, mainly because he feels unusually penalized for his criteria – and that it does not seem able to link the entire package into another bold masterpiece.
