Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - Movie Review

Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I am going to tell you my movie review on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood as my replacement blog for Writers From The Block 9. Thank you Chameleons for making my decision easier for my replacement blog. last week I went to the movie twice. The first trip I went to see Stuber and the scone I went to go see Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I knew I wanted to do a Movie Review for a replacement blog, but I didn't know what movie out of the 2. So I put a poll on Instagram and based on popular votes  you Chameleons want a Movie Review on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Here we go.

On July 26, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood hit theatres. I did the mistake of seeing the movie on July 26 when the movie first came out, but I wanted to see the movie and couldn't wait. The movie was 2 hours and 40 minutes. I have a 2 hour focusing period on sitting and not moving. Yeah. First I grabbed my popcorn and drink and went to sit down. Then I went back to the lobby to grab a straw. Then I took my popcorn and walked around in the lobby before the movie started. Just so I will not move in my seat. Didn't really help lol. Before I go on and tell you Chameleons my thoughts on the movie I will summarize the movie first.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood takes place in 1969 Los Angeles, Rick Dalton is an actor from the 1950's Western TV, hit show Bounty Law and his best friend, Cliff booth, who is his stunt double, assistant, and driver who lives in his trailer with his dog Brandy. Cliff is also rumoured that he killed his wife and got away with it. They make their way around the industry they hardly recognize anymore. The movie is kinda base on True Events cause Sharon Tate is in the movie too. I suck at explaining movies, that its why I never do it. That is basically the summary of the movie in a few words. 

The Cast

Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton
Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth
Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate
Margaret Qualley as Pussycat
Austin Butler as Charles 'Tex' Watson
Dakota Fanning as Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme
Luke Perry as Wayne Maunder 
Kurt Russell as Randy

I enjoyed this movie and it had me to the end. I actually started loving this movie in scene 2 when Leo & Brad are at the bar and Brad's character is drinking a Caesar and dumping a whack of tabasco into his Caesar. Except I had my eyes close at the end when Charles & Lynette come in. If I can't watch that I defiantly can not watch The Haunting Of Sharon Tate staring Hilary Duff. And I want to watch that movie. My favourite types of movies is True Stories and Hilary Duff is my favourite actress/singer ever. Speaking of Hilary Duff I told Squid about this movie and he thought I told him that Hilary Duff is portraying Sharon Tate again. Just to say she was acting alongside Leonardo DiCaprio & Brad Pitt. Honestly how cool would that be? In fact, Sharon's real life sister approved Margot Robbie for portraying Sharon. Here is another fact of Sharon Tate, she was in a movie called The Wrecking Crew and in one scene in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Margot Robbie's character is watching The Wrecking Crew, they took the actual movie and put it in the movie. Enough of talking about Sharon Tate facts in the movie and lets get back to the point of this section of the blog. What I didn't like about the movie is mostly Cliff. Cliff wasn't a bad guy (we don't really know if Cliff killed his wife) what I mean is, we have Leo playing the big Hollywood actor and Brad playing the best friend and working for Rick. I thought Leo and Brad's character were both big actors. In all honesty that is all I had problem with the movie. That, and the ending. For anyone who has not seen this movie, I will not saying the ending. But you may know what happens if you read that I closed my eyes. 

Another reason why I wanted to see this movie is cause of Margaret Qualley. What I mean is, I have never seen Margaret act before and I wanted to watch her before I go see her in Strangulations But True string alongside Nick Robinson coming out September 6. Also before I knew that was Brad as Cliff Booth I thought that was Logan Miller.

My favourite one

Before the movie started I took my popcorn on a little walk around the lobby before the movie started after I marked my seat with my pop and denim jacket. I did that cause the movie was almost 3 hours long, and I can only sit still for 2 hours. I can not move if I am very invested in the movie. I was mostly moving this time at the 2 hour mark to get comfy with my eyes still glued to the screen. If you Chameleons are wanting to watch this movie I recommend you do some exercise first, like walk to the movies (don't actually do that unless you live close by) or the lobby with some popcorn.
