I didn’t see it. Tarantino lost me with the crapfest that was Inglorious Basterds. Specifically, he lost me when he used a David Bowie song from 1974 as mood music for something happening in 1944. It was totally jarring (in a movie that already had too many jarring moments) and threw me out of the film completely. In fact, it was so jarring that it made me not want to experience that kind of thing again, so I avoided Django Unchained.
A little piece of advice then: never see a Baz Luhrmann film.
AFAIC, the only thing the man has ever done that was worthwhile was his song Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen). What little I have seen of his films repulsed rather than intrigued me.
DiCaprio and Pitt have both been phenomenal and very average, from movie to movie.
The selective reading comment was for ignoring
I thought his Early Grace in Kalifornia was pretty good too.
Call me old and settled, but Pitt looks happier.
If it hasn’t been spelt out, the prospective film was in huge trouble - despite Plab B largely funding the development stage - because studios didn’t want to back it (US slavery from the pov of a slave, made by an unknown Brit?).
Brad Pitt had to step in and agree to put in screen time in order to get funding.
I don’t think that’s true. According to this, studios were fighting over it.
Acting!
Brad Pitt won his first Oscar for acting on Sunday.
Also this from when the thread was fresh…
And Dicaprio won Best Actor in 2016.
