Tremendous acting in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” especially by Leonardo DiCaprio. He stole the movie in a scene that he played alone in his on-set trailer wherein he berates himself for blowing a scene in the movie that was being made in the movie! It was brilliant. IMHO. Brad Pitt had the second best performance.
Post #247 meant for you too.
You’re right, they were both great with the edge going to DiCaprio who I had always considered kind of one dimensional but man he was great in that role. It made me have to rethink him as an actor.
Some original ideas, great acting, plot development, music...
Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember that movie and it was very good.
Most is junk, but 10% of the movies produced still rise to the level where one says: “wow, that was really good.”
Sadly, like with music, there is little new, and most is formulary (mass produced). Many movies today are the same quality of a mediocre soap years ago. You can tell that with the advent of Amazon, Net flicks and others, for the most part it has become quantity over quality.
