Search found 1 match: Brad Pitt

In what way did Tarantino promote this film as being about the Tate murders or Manson? As someone who was absurdly excited about a new flick from him, I was under the impression that QT was going to take the setting as an inspiration to make a movie, ala Inglorious Basterds. Unless you meant specifically in-film, which I can't find a reason why that would be so. If you let the film speak for itself, it's about the two men as you say, with a feminant / absurdly happy story about a beautiful woman that is living her life in almost pure bliss that has no idea something bad is about to happen to her ... or not. The tension is used to make Tate's scenes appreciable, melodramatic, and sad.

If you take out her scenes, you take out all femininity from it, most of the joy, and a large part of the tension. Sure, you still get Brad Pitt going to the ranch but what else is there? It's a film about the old days of Hollywood starring two guys who starred in the old days of Hollywood not even 8 years ago. You may as well edit the film down until we're watching Misery.

You're basically correct in your second paragraph but just don't seem to care about the point. Deleting all of here scene's seemed to have cut a whopping 20+ minutes. The second time is when I fell head over heels about all of Tate's scenes: the walk to the bookstore - theater - watching herself (her being pleased with the audience enjoying her is maybe a top-10 all time happy scene), the party scene where Damian Fucking Lewis, Mr Dick Winters himself, tells us, as Steve McQueen (more on him later), all about her, the Polish Prick, and Sebring in the award for 'best one minute of screen time ever', etc. This was literal masturbatory cinema from QT for our pleasure and I feel some people were offended by being presented exactly what they wanted.

I've watched this 4 times (sincerely, not in a weird way to upstage your 3); twice in theater, once as soon as I got the 4k, and once with two friends completely intoxicated on tequila and each time I've gotten a greater sense of the importance of Tate and how great Margot Robbie did playing her in the little time she got.
