[Deschodt]

Saw that recently... I thought the first 2 hours were a bit slow (acting scenes mostly, you could say we were very pleasantly bored with no idea where this was going) but I enjoyed them anyway for a great look at 1969 Los Angeles and Hollywood, old cars and well recreated locations (at least to my eyes).. then the last 20 minutes switch to bat-$hit-crazy Tarantino stuff which I'll admit I enjoyed quite a bit. Heck of a build up to that, if you think back to how it all tied together, I must say...

SPOILER ALERT

Can someone explain to me, since this was before my time - is Tarentino essentially doing an alternate version of history where the Mason family ends up going to the wrong house and things go "better" - and presumably Sharon tate and her friends survive (and also presumably Polanski never gets in trouble with the law later)... I enjoyed the movie overall because it's well acted and the location stuff, but I think I kinda missed the point... Isn't it kinda disrespectful to the Tate family (and folger), or is is just the opposite somehow? Just wondering, I didn't exist then, I'm probably lacking some cultural references to understand what the goal was / where he's going with this, if that avoided murder was the goal of the movie or a side trip from diCaprio's role... How'd you see this ?
