  Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood 2019

  Mark Ruffalo is great. That one scene is oddly similar to the Trump assassination.

  I really like how the script…

  Somehow better than the movie itself. But it also makes the movie better now that you know the story behind it. They really go hand in hand with each other.

  Very impressive feat from Orson Welles. Looked like a blast to shoot.

  It makes his death so much more sad. Especially the cameraman’s story. The footage of him laughing and the other guy saying : “He let you film that?” is heartwarming.

  The endless shooting reminded me of Synecdoche, New…
