The bromance between Pitt and DiCaprio was great, and the last 10 minutes were good, but am I the only one who felt that the movie didn’t have a story? It’s a nice homage to 50’s to 60’s Hollywood but that’s not enough to cut it.

A day in the life of Hollywood is the story

unironically if you place any importance on narrative then you're an irredeemable pleb.

The story is speculation on the night of the Helper Skelter incident if things were different and all the events that would build up to it.

This. Besides, all the stuff in the movie preceding the end was important to people who didn't get plebfiltered - it's a bit of a character study. Rick in particular got a lot of development while acting through his cowboy show.

it used to be the core of a movie and it's reason to exist, now it's just a nice to have accessory?

It’s just Tarantino geeking out and paying money to transform Westwood, Hollywood, and the Cinerama Dome back into what they were when he was a child. Which is cool, but that’s not enough to make a solid movie. The Manson/Tate stuff is an after thought, and that would be fine if Rick and Cliff had a decent storyline, but they just act out Tarantino’s fantasy of recreating 50’s Hollywood sets and ads.

this, it's like if some 80s video store clerk geek was granted god-like powers

QT doesn't bother with pleb shit like plot. He delivers bone-chilling slow burns.

>it's like if some 80s video store clerk geek was granted god-like powers
this sounds like an interesting movie concept desu

I'm with you, interesting but underdeveloped characters and the story just meandered until the third act. Tarantino's getting sloppy but nobody wants to say anything about it.

Good movie but overrated by some, too many glaring feet scenes, overall a 7.5/10
Side note: glad to see Brad looking his age and rocking it well. Too many people fall victim to trying to look younger and end up ruining their looks

I get what you are saying but its pretty obvious he made the movie for himself. He wanted a chance to direct all of movies and commercials of the past and this was his chance to do that.

Yeah I get that's what he wanted to do, but that's what's ultimately holding the movie back.

I just don't feel like Tarantino's pushing himself anymore, he's gotten too comfy and indulgent in his success. It's not a terrible movie, but I know he could have done it better.

You're holding yourself back, pleb.

Only from loving you with all my heart, but I.....I can't be hurt like that again.

I do agree with what you are saying, however the movie wasn't made for anyone but himself.

No, it was made for an audience. That's why they distributed it internationally with marketing and press. Tarantino's just so wrapped up in his success that he thinks everybody cares about the same superficial stylistic shit he does.

why make a movie, it's the Tarantino bio

you had to jinx it, now he'll answer the call from the Bogs tomorrow

Post yfw Rick swam to the shed and pulled out the flamethrower

He wouldn't have been able to afford it if he didn't distribute it.

And I'm saying that's not an excuse for not pushing himself to make a better movie.

>Too many people fall victim to trying to look younger and end up ruining their looks
Women, you mean. The industry is very nice to men. Renee was younger than Cruise in Jerry Maguire, see what happened.

I do think it's kind of funny that in such a aimless movie they pull a literal Chekhov's Gun with a flame thrower. Points for that.

anyone else get worried when cliff got shot? would’ve been a huge bummer if he died

nice, great live performance, you are not a pleb

The movie gets kino when you consider everything thats happened was as much a lie as Tate not getting murdered.
Cliff and Rick never had that good a friendship, it was just an idealised vision of what true bros would be like even if there was a big income disparity.

Actually broke my "no films made after 2010" for this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Even checked out Django straight afterwards.

>Cliff and Rick never had that good a friendship
This, Rick was taking advantage of Cliff because he had been blacklisted and had no other options. Cliff did everything for Rick, but Rick obviously wasn't paying him all that well. And it really felt like Cliff just kept working for Rick because it was the only connection he had left to the business.

Watched it last week with my mom and sister. Both gave me glaring looks when they realized every scene had naked feet in it.

>this, it's like if some 80s video store clerk geek was granted god-like powers
That's basically Tarantino when shooting a film

Also I don't entirely buy Rick's line about not being able to afford Cliff anymore, it felt more like a "Look man you're great, but the wife, you know...she's kinda funny about things"

What would’ve happened if they walked in and Cliff wasn’t high on acid

They probably would have been killed faster.

It didn't has a story, and it's better because of that. It's a hangout movie and a song about cinema and friendship.

>used to be the core of a movie and it's reason to exist
You haven't studied film at all huh

Yeah, this juvenile wank was SUCH a deep character study. Tarantino really wowed me with his pedestrian dialogue and meandering homage to low grade 1960s TV Westerns.

Idiots on Yea Forums praise this movie because it pissed off SJWs and because the hack Armond White praised it. It was an uneven, poorly written mess.

>Even checked out Django straight afterwards.
I'm sorry for your intense feelings of let-down

yeah, I know Gone With the Wind, and Dr, Zivago and Lawrence of Arabia and Casablanca all got by without a story and were just meandering barely connected scenes thrown together with no clear conclusion to be had, you're right

its about class struggle and ricks internal struggle
there are the elite, movie stars, working class cliff and failing "social" class leeching off the past, the hippies
at the same time cliff is the "power" side of rick, hes the one to get shit done and is the real action badass rick only portrays in movies, it even reflects their relationship as star/stuntman, when cliff cant get work, rick struggles and is broken
the hippies are the insecurity and past failures of rick, tex is shown as young cowboy character and the hippies are based on the old movie ranch rick used to work at, the place his insecurities stem from, his glory days casting a shadow over his present
the conflict is solved in the end with the power overcoming the insecurities, the stuntman/star role is again played with cliff taking care of the hippies while rick having the climax torching the final one, foreshadowed by the scene showing earleir it was the one stunt rick did himself

Name dropping films that have narratives doesn't serve your purpose or prove me wrong at all. Films without narrative is not a new concept idiot, anything and everything before Great Train Robbery in 1903 is just random shit filmed and cobbled together. Numerous films since then, and after the adoption of the typical three act narrative, have branched out and experiemented with alternative forms of storytelling, Tarantino being one of those many individuals who is famous for doing so from his debut. Is it such a shock to you that he chose to make a film with such loose narrative cohesion after decades of filmmaking on his NINTH film? Why would this shock anyone who wasn't such a clueless fuckwit like you?

>I didn't go to films, I went to film school

>He thinks homage and blatant plagiarism is "experimentation"

You know what user, enjoy your boomer fart movie. You aren't capable of absorbing serious art so it's best that you wallow in the kind of shit QT produces.
