Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Cinematography and Film Review
Once upon a time in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino— a classic.
What I loved
- Phenomenal acting. Brad Pitt at his best — insanely cool. Strong Leonardo DiCaprio performance. All the actors were stellar.
- Great fighting sequences.
- Hilarious disgust of Hippies.
- Interesting behind the scenes look on Hollywood and film culture.
- Great cinematography — loved the multiple camera angles, perspectives, framing, and the color of the film.
- Hilarious and over the top violence at the end of the film — classic Tarantino style.
- The film really transports you to 1969. Nostalgia of seeing Westwood (UCLA downtown, where I went to college), as depicted in the 60s.
Highly recommend watching the film!
