And yet this is not the film that hardcore fans of “ Pulp Fiction” and “ Inglourious Basterds” may be expecting. Tarantino once said, “When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, ‘no, I went to films.’” And it’s that education by projector light that weaves its way through every frame of “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” a movie only he could have devised.
Just as the Western has often used real people and places as templates to tell fictional stories, Tarantino has crafted an elegiac ode to a time he’s only experienced through books and movies. The title of the ninth film by Quentin Tarantino, “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” is meant to recall Sergio Leone’s masterpiece “ Once Upon a Time in the West.” It's a nod to the Western genre influence on Tarantino's latest-both structurally and in the actual plot-and the way movies about the Old West play with actual history.
