Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Well, I finally saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and thought it was a mess.
Glad they did not show Sharon Tate’s murder. The period look was off in beginning. Terrible I was there and know. He handled the Mansion family well, but the beginning was slow, choppy, scotch-taped together. Brad Pitt made it and Leonardo was a close second. But the portrayal of the Manson family was riveting.. Your scene should have been longer to have meaning. The good news was you were not there that night. And LIVED.

I thought Tarantino portrayed Sharon unkindly and like a bimbo. Was she really that dumb and self-involved? And Roman was dismissed and treated disparagingly. I had the privilege of knowing him and he has great charm and a very rich character who was abused by a faulty justice system.If I were Roman I would have blocked film. Public figure rights make it hard. Tell me Sharon was not that empty-headed and star struck. Al Pacino was excellent as usual in a small part as was Bruce Dern. It’s obvious Tarantino used his weight to get celebrities though he had an inferior production company and script. Editing was asleep at the wheel. Scenes went on so long that once they made their points it was as though a sledgehammer was the editor. This definitely was not Oscar material except for PItt. Booo to Tarantino.
