What are your top ten favorite movies?
How can your opinion of a movie change so much and so dramatically? The first time I watched this film I didn’t get it, I couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, by Quentin Tarantino is that movie. This is one of the few Tarantino films I did not immediately love, in fact, it left me cold. But after hearing so many people rave about it I decided to try it again.
So I returned to it with a plan, watch the film again and then read the book. I love a project that involves either books, reading, or both. I thought maybe the book would help me understand more.
But now, I feel like I got the film already. So the book will only help with the depth of the understanding which I now possess. Sometimes we are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe the first time I watched this film I was tired or preoccupied. I could have just been in a bad mood. It is often, but not always, worth giving something a second chance. You see, now this film has entered my top 10 list.
My best films of all time? I can’t make that list, but I could happily watch any of Tarantino’s efforts.
