Rewatched this on my birthday after about 12 bourbons. The movie is unbelievably good, first time I saw it I felt it dragged but on a rewatch you notice all the seeds planted and minor details that builds the plot. The vibe of life going well with its small quarrels and tasks/activities like going to watch a movie is how real life is before a huge tragedy. We obliviously live our life as if carefree until we’re met with a horrible ending we didn’t see coming. The brilliance of Tarantino is showing Tate going through these motions only for this expected ending to be subverted and her life to continue on carefree.

Incredible film, loved every bit.

This really struck home for me. That scene of her being genuinely overwhelmed by watching herself appear in a movie and just knowing the real-life conclusion of her story is sobering.

ETA: Her voice coming through the intercom at the end, saying "oh that's terrifying!" about the hippies trying to kill Rick

God, it's brutal in retrospect.
