I'm not a fan of his and find his homages as cheesy, shallow and showoffy as his dialog. But "Once" feels so genuine and what he's been getting at all these years across all those genres. I might quibble because some of his choices don't align with my memories and experiences of those days, but the film is so resolutely his that would miss the point. <br /><br />Once (upon a time) as a kid, I happened across "The Fearless Vampire Killer"on TV (never seen it since) and it was so strange and awful and somehow resonant that I've never forgotten it. Something in me responded to that strange film made by those people, problematic or otherwise, that the passage of time may obscure but not erase. Tarantino captured that feeling in a way that signifies himself and his work.Esothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107370135722553170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-67022915018759659992020-07-26T12:06:24.298-07:002020-07-26T12:06:24.298-07:00Iñaki Urrzola --

Was just watching the end of OUATITW last night to see that Claudia scene and it was hard to hold back the tears, just like it's hard to hold back the tears even now when I see ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD again. And I still want to see it again!

And your whole blog, which I've bookmarked, and am now now perusing avidly. I loved that you matching Sharon's emergence with Claudia Cardinale's emergence at the end of OUaTitW. Sharon's appearance is a glorious 'What If'. Claudia's is a triumph over where her story started, and embracing the future. So, yeah, kinda the same thing!
