Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers had some initial difficulties convincing Hollywood Boulevard vendors to allow their premises to be fitted with period facades to better reflect the 1960s. However, after the production wrapped that section of the shoot, most of these same people asked if they could leave the facades in place, since they now much more preferred that period 'look.'
- GoofsWhen Sharon Tate was talking to the girl at the box office of the movie theater in Westwood, you can see the Starbucks sign for half the scene before it was covered up. Starbucks was founded in 1971.

Understand This Before Watching
Upon originally seeing this movie in theaters back when it came out, I, like many folks in the reviews, came away from it a bit disappointed. With a star studded ensemble cast and incredible setting, I was ready for the kind of edge-of-your-seat thrill ride we've come to expect from Tarantino- but what I got instead was a thoughtful, deeply nostalgic love letter to an era of Hollywood that made Tarantino fall in love with making movies.
After understanding this and watching the film again, it was 10x more enjoyable to just sit back and marvel at how different things used to be. The revisionist history concerning the Manson murders is fun, too, when you realize just how differently important moments from history could have played out with just the slightest change in circumstances.
Hollywood today is completely unrecognizable from the "Golden Age" we're presented with in this film, and for better or worse, I think QT was simply trying to remind us that it wasn't always like this.
