Fifty years ago tonight, four followers of Charles Manson, on his orders, killed Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger, and Steven Parent at the home of Roman Polanski. Tate was Polanski's wife and she was over eight months pregnant.
Leno and Rosemary LaBianca would be murdered the following night.
Almost all of the "Manson Family" are still where they belong-- in prison. One turned state's evidence and was granted immunity. One, who was convicted of a different killing, was paroled almost 25 years ago (in exchange for telling where a body was buried). Two, including Manson, have died in prison.
The Tarantino movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, takes gross liberties with the facts of the day.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
I think I would be ok with Leslie Van Houten being released. If it is possible to reform yourself in prison, she has done it.
ReplyDeleteNot only did Tarrantino take wild liberties with history, but he ended up with a movie that rates a giant Meh!

The New York Crank
"Meh" is a good description. The movie was overlong with a number of irrelevant scenes. I can't imagine any other director being allowed to make that script.
ReplyDeleteI liked it a lot better than Inglorious Basterds - his other alternative history film. Especially the scene where Brad Pitt kicks Bruce Lee's ass.
