Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a 2019 comedy-drama film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the film follows a fading character actor (Rick) and his stunt double (Cliff) as they navigate the rapidly changing film industry, with the looming threat of the Tate-LaBianca Murders hanging overhead.
if there's any technique Tarantino has down to a science it is that of the fragmented narrative. Broken – but far from brittle - ‘Once Upon a Time…’ successfully forces two separate storylines to converge into one; consequently this expunges the need for what would otherwise be exhaustive exposition. This is especially true when what is considered common knowledge about Sharon Tate's life - or more specifically, her death - and speaks to the desire to tell a fully developed story using only the bare essentials or necessities.
Taking place towards the end of the sixties ‘OUAT…’ stays dutifully committed to its intended aesthetic. The entirety of what is heard in the background or periodically Incorporated as casually announced news-bulletins - like those about the murder of Senator Robert F. Kenedy - are rooted in fact and contextually allude to historically significant events. Drawing from the wealth of influences available, Rick Dalton is a caricature of Steve McQueen ( who, unlike Dalton, made a more successful and comfortable transition from television to films), Edd Byrnes, Ty Hardin, and Pete Duel. Despite some initial difficulties in regards to convincing the surrounding Hollywood vendors to authorize the fitting of their premises with period facades to better represent the 1960s this obstacle was eventually surmounted (with some of these veneers staying in place long after production concluded).
(Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino would not allow the use of cell phones on set while filming in lieu of phone booths being installed in the case that calls needed to be made by crew members. Talk about some devilish devotion!)
With its paralleled narrative and authentic set design assuming the role of ‘OUAT…’s bread, this sandwich of satisfaction doesn't skimp in ensuring that the filling that is its characters is just as delicious and savory in tandem.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks - and lucky for the audience sometimes you don’t have to. Possibly one of my favorite performances by DiCaprio to date, his demeanor (and excellently executed accent!) capture the essence of a character that both reaps the benefits of his fame while struggling with the lingering impermanence of it. As if designed to be a direct foil to this conundrum Cliff - portrayed by the one and only Brad Pitt (who does his stunts - surprise!) - embraces the fluidity his role invites and rolls with the punches (literally) as it is necessary As a consequence of this their relationship on screen becomes self-referential in that Cliff often does all of the dangerous fighting while Rick is rewarded with a flashy climax and what is assumingly will be all of the credit for a “job well done”. On the topic of dogs: a three-year-old Pitbull by the name of Sayuri was honored with the Palm Dog Award following her equally committed and sometimes scene stealing performance as ‘Brandy’ (more than deserved, if I do say so myself).
Only accounting for approximately 20 minutes of screen time, Margot Robbie's portrayal of Shannon Tate is reflective of the amount of research done in preparation for it. Adorned with an abundance of grace, poise, and some of Tate's real jewelry, the accuracy of her performance reportedly moved some of Tate’s surviving family members to tears. It is a shame this same effort wasn't put into the portrayal of Bruce Lee - who, arguably, could have been written in as someone with less notoriety attached - but this is comfortably written off as a result of an interaction being perceived by audience members as the way in Cliff seems to 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 it.
Setting the audience up with tension from the very start ( as might be conjured following the recollection of Tate’s untimely untimely demise) ‘OUAT…’ comes to a screeching halt following a climatic and violently stylized surprise. It goes without saying that this conclusion is as far as possible from being rooted in truth, but the irony is in how this ending is a significantly happier one.
Described as a ‘love letter to Hollywood’, in many ways ‘OUAT…’ simultaneously acts as Tarantino’s sacrificial lamb; it ascends as a forgivably transgressional and sensational depiction of the relationship that directors and actors have with a craft that resembles, replicates, and manufactures reality as it is seen fit.
I would recommend!
Director-Producer Quentin Tarantino's attention to the minute details of that period is beyond amazing. He gets it perfectly correct from the late-1960s clothing fashions to the cars to the billboards and everything else. The viewer feels as if he or she has been transported back in time.
Once Upon a Time is an absolute jewel for those who are fans of Hollywood lore. The actors' dialogue is seasoned with many references to key events, personages, and fads of 1969. Those references are probably lost on most viewers who didn't grow up during the 60s, but I did, and I found it fun to search my memory to recall what those references meant, which add a subtle depth to the movie's story.
The movie is intricate, but it doesn't have an intricate plot. It is a story of the everyday occurrences of the Hollywood elite. That is, a glimpse of their daily lives. But the movie's brilliance is how those occurrences cross paths and lead to a fateful outcome.
I feel that most of Brad Pitt's performances are overrated. But in Once Upon a Time, Pitt shines like the Northern Star. Leonardo DiCaprio's performance is outstanding too. Al Pacino and Kurt Russell also shine in their cameo roles.
Once Upon a Time is not a conventional movie. Initially, it seems a little disjointed and hard to understand. But that is just Tarantino's way of spinning a spider's web that captures the viewer.
Once Upon a Time is a very entertaining movie that is well worth your time to watch.

Audiophiles will love this too, dialog is clear, and only difficult to make out during a few scenes.
Tarantino fans already know what kind of ride they are in for here... so... sit back... and enjoy

Viele gehen einfach mit zu hohen Erwartungen an einen Tarantino-Film ran. Sicher steht der gute Mann für eine besondere Art von Film, man kennt Pulp Fiction und erwartet fälschlicherweise eine 2. Version davon, eben weil dieser Film sein "Durchbruch" für einige war. Und gerade weil viele diesen Film wählen um damit vergleiche anzustellen verstehen einige garnicht was Tarantino da macht. Ich les überwiegend, und nicht nur hier bei dem Film, es wird zuviel geredet, Ein Reservoir Dogs der Jahre vorher rauskam bestand quasi NUR aus Dialogen, da ist vom Prinzip noch weniger passiert wie in "once upon a time in hollywood". Und wenn ich lese viele finden den Film deshalb zu langweilig, ja dann weiss ich auch nicht was die Leute erwarten, den Leuten gefallen wahrscheinlich nur die Szenen wo es ein bisschen rauher zugeht, wo in Rambo-Manier die fetzen fliegen usw., was nicht schlimm ist, aber ich kann mich nicht daran erinnern das auch nur ein Tarantino-Film je von Anfang bis Ende so gewesen ist, bei einem Robert Rodriguez könnte ich es vielleicht verstehen weil da mit Machete ein ziemliches Action-Feuerwerk geschaffen wurde, aber die Action bei Tarantino wurde immer dezent gehalten und wusste dann in dem Moment zu überzeugen und zu schocken wo es dann passiert ist, weil vorher ja nur "geredet" wurde. Aber vielleicht erwarten auch viele ein zweites "From Dusk Till Dawn", der zwar nicht von Tarantino ist, aber vielleicht immer als zweites mit ihm in Verbindung gebracht wird weil er eine quasi Hauptrolle drin hatte.
Ich will nicht sagen man muss seine Erwartungen runterschrauben, aber man muss dass ganze mal Objektiv betrachten, es als einzelnes Werk sehen. Man kann diesen und diesen Film nicht miteinander vergleichen, weil dass einfach nicht funktioniert. Man wird nie wieder dasselbe Feeling bekommen wie aus diesem oder diesem Film. Die Leute erwarten immer eine Steigerung zu früheren Werken, aber ich würde gerne mal wissen was sie in dem Punkt genau erwarten, was der Film beitragen muss damit er sie total vom Hocker haut und alte Werke, alt aussehen lässt. Man kann sich nicht nur an das alte Zeug klammern, klar hat es einen gewissen Kult-Status, aber das neue verdient auch eine Chance.
Zeiten ändern sich nunmal, und gewissen Sachen sieht man in paar Jahren eventuell auch ganz anders. Das was heute schlecht ist, kann morgen gut sein. Ich kann also gut verstehen das viele den Film nicht mögen, ich konnte auch ne ganze weile mit Death Proof nicht so richtig was anfangen, weil auch ich ihn nicht als richtigen Tarantino-Film sah, aber wenn man die Vision dahinter versteht, und sich mal ein paar ältere Filme ansieht, die als Referenz gedient haben, wo ein Wahnsinniger im Auto herumfährt, dann springt der Funke vielleicht über wenn man dem Film noch ne Chance gibt. Und zu dieser Einsicht bin ich auch erst Jahre später gekommen, ich hatte sone hohen Erwartungen das ich das Konzept hinter dem Film nicht verstanden habe. Es gibt natürlich Filme mit denen wird man wahrscheinlich nie warm werden, aber da man Tarantino mittlerweile in eine Schublade steckt, und das ganze was er macht immer genauer betrachtet, denn er ist halt ne Marke für sich, sollte man vielleicht mal ein wenig über diversen Sachen recherchieren die er da macht, und wieso er sie so macht. Man muss seine Filme nicht nur gucken, sondern sie auch verstehen.
Zum Film selbst sei nur gesagt, Mich hat der Film auf jeden fall sehr gut unterhalten, und der Film hätte sogar noch länger gehen können weil die Paarung Leonardo/Brad ein wenig an Jackson/Travolta erinnert und die beiden einfach gut miteinander harmonieren und zu unterhalten wissen.Und nachdem ich mir noch das Bonuszeug angesehen hab, hab ich erstmal gesehen wieviel Arbeit und Aufwand da investiert wurde um das zu erschaffen was wir sehen. Wird den einen oder andern vielleicht recht wenig interessieren, aber hier wurde wirklich was großes geschaffen.
PS. ich will hier wie gesagt keinen zu ner anderen Meinung bewegen, oder deren Meinung in Frage stellen, es wäre ja schlimm wenn alle Menschen auf der Welt alles gleich sehen würden, und irgendwann kann sich ne Meinung vielleicht auch einfach von selbst ändern weil man älter geworden ist.
