admin

The new Film from Quentin Tarantino should make the Fans happy. The Director dares a thrilling, myth-soaked look to the year 1969. This is not cinema at its Finest – but certainly not for everyone.



“We all grew up in front of the TV, and thus also with many murders,” it says in a scene from the movie “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”. Maybe this is the key statement of the new Tarantino movie, but at least one that says a lot about its Director and his work. Especially about his new Film.
Tarantino’s film-oriented life began with his birth. “Quint Asper” was the name of a character in the popular TV Western series “Gunsmoke” (1955-75/in Germany: “gunsmoke”). Tarantino’s mother, at whose birth 16 years old, and his 21-year-old father gave the boy the name Quentin.

The Film-journalism, worked early on to Tarantino

“The Childhood fell into the dawning television age, the young Quentin in the South Bay, on the southern edge of Los Angeles, experienced, and she went on in a middle-class youth, in cinemas and in front of the TV, head on over to Comics bent, while the Recorder and the Radio provided the background music,” wrote Peter Körte in the already in the year 2000, published in German a monograph on the Director.

With its Stars Tarantino presented his new Film at Cannes Festival

Also says a lot. That a Director who had staged at the time, just three game films of their own accord, is devoted to a detailed biography, was no coincidence. Tarantino was already a cult with his second Film “Pulp Fiction”. And here, the term cult really applies. Tarantino’s films were popular with the (mostly young) audience, fascinated but also the critics.

The Tarantino movies: Pure entertainment, but also a clever game with the Pop-culture

The audience came in and is coming every time a new Tarantino movie on its cost. The movies are action-Packed, exciting, often very funny and full of surprising turns, with a word: murder is moderately entertaining.

Century.

The Director processed the TV and cinema addiction of Childhood and youth

In addition to the many TV series and movies for young Quentin was a place of refuge. And as the Western-TV-series made the small Quentin addictive, were added later, especially crime films, cheap horror flick, Italo-Western, but also a lot of Martial Arts films from Asia. Quentin Tarantino was a movie Maniac, a madman of the cinema. But one that made it productive of something. The film he completed knowledge in video stores, the jump in the practice, he was, among other things, a directing Workshop with Robert Redford.

So Hollywood and danced at the end of the 1960s, before Sharon Tate was brutally murdered

And he began to write scripts and screenplays, and finally Reservoir Dogs “in 1992, his first Film was” in its own right, since he was not yet 30 years old. Two years later, the genius of “Pulp Fiction”, the young Director was followed by his second work in the competition of the film presented festival in Cannes, winning the Palme d’or and later a screenplay Oscar. The Rest is cinema history.

Also with the own work of “playing” the Director is multi-faceted

Tarantino is a skilled, but personable marketer of his work. At Festivals, he appears as a large, silly child, of the press and the public celebrate, enjoy doing the antics in front of the cameras. And he has the habit of his films through numbering, is also part of the “cult” As “Quentin Tarantino’s ninth Film” will be announced “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” a long time in trailers.

Tarantino’s new Film tells of dwindling fame in Hollywood

And also in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” has some (a few) the feeling that Tarantino is lost in blissful cinema memories. The story the Director tells is, essentially, a simple Film-in-Film Story: The ageing and increasingly unsuccessful Western-Star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) stands at the end of the 1960s, before the wreckage of his career. Only the friendship with his Stuntman, and personal assistant, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt/our image above) makes him a little joy. The offer of the producer Marvin Black (Al Pacino), in Europe the popular spaghetti Western once again be able to start from it first.

Parallel to the main narrative, Tarantino has assembled two further strands, which intersect in the course of the movie plot is, increasingly: the story of the pregnant woman and, later, brutally murdered the wife of Director Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), who is just celebrating in Hollywood the first successes. And: The between drugs delusions and fantasies of Omnipotence errant Hippie commune of the cult leader Charles Manson, who was responsible for the murder.

All of this leads Tarantino to a furious cinematic Finale. As in his best films Tarantino succeed in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” scenes, which should be the heart of the Tarantino-Fans beat faster: camera, music, editing and Montage, and the clever directing, a lot of iron incursions of rotating register, small, funny, and lovingly executed in addition to stories, Tarantino’s art in his latest Film, mostly at the height of his.
