2. ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD
IMDb Review: This movie brought both entertainment and social awakening in the society. This meant to entertain and to display the acting skills of lead roles played by the great actor of that time. The main actress in the movie made the movie bright for audiences. Quentin Tarantino made us remember the old school film making, which has been described as being on life support throughout the movie.
Critic Review: Tarantino definitely glorified each scene, even the smallest of details, like a gun holster of beer or the way of the characters, driving down the highway, where they reveal all the hidden thoughts, feelings, and backstories for the audience. You need to catch onto these specific details, even some points are overindulgent of “the golden age” of Hollywood.
