Like most Quentin Tarantino films, this one follows the same formula. Take a plot, put it in a blender, chop it up, then put unrelated pieces together, until you have enough of a timeline for a full movie. It was strange, with some good lines and good parts of the plot, but also stupid ones, just for effect. By the time an hour had gone by I couldn't wait for it to be over. I don't really understand the Charles Manson and his followers being part of the film either...it was gratuitous to me, and disrespectful to Tate's family. It had zero to do with the plot, and was just thrown in, with a lot of graphic violence to top it off. I do love Leonardo DiCaprio, and look forward to seeing him in a better movie than this mishmash.
