The iconic director Quentin Tarantino who is well known for putting his unique touch into all of his films has said that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his most personal film yet. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the latest film by Tarantino starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. The film pays homage to the city of Los Angeles from 1969. The film received great praise from audiences and critics alike.
The film follows an aging star in Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt.) The film is also inspired by the infamous Charles Manson murders and weaves in real-life elements with fictional ones to give the plot an even better intrigue.
Speaking about his film, Tarantino said, "The first spark happened somewhere after Death Proof actually, and I was making a movie, and I look across the set and I see the actor and the stunt guy sitting in directors chairs, talking to each other, and I thought, wow, that's a really, god that's a fascinating relationship and I know other relationships out there as Steve McQueen had that relationship with his stunt guy and Burt Reynolds had his relationship with his stunt guy. But I was like wow, that's a really fascinating relationship. If I ever do a movie about the making of movies, that could be a really unique way inside."
He went to add why the film is his most personal piece yet and said, "This film is probably my most personal. I think of it as my memory piece. Alfonso (Cuaron) had Roma and Mexico City, 1970. I had L.A. and 1969. This is me. This is the year that formed me. I was six years old then. This is my world. And this is my love letter to L.A."
