...I saw no apology for the Tate murders. I did see a somewhat preachy narrative holding Hollywood of the time responsible for the creeping normalization of violence in the culture. Interesting considering Tarantino's typical style and the slower pace and relatively subdued violence in this film. Overall I found the whole thing enjoyable in terms of the story, the casting, the acting and all the technical details, props, music etc. Did you catch the Dual
TT and Marantz 18 rcvr and the Wilhelm scream? More than a few reviews comment on how the film really captured a late 60s Hollywood. Wasn't there so I'll take their word for that part.Since Tarantino filmed this with real photographic film, I'm gonna try and find someplace nearby showing it in 70mm and see it again as intended. On second thought, I won't see it in 70mm: nearest location is in another state. Oh well.
