Video Explores How Quentin Tarantino Blended Fiction with Real History in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

I’ve got an interesting video essay for you to watch that explores Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and how the filmmaker blended fiction with real history to tell a cohesive story. The video comes from Kirby Ferguson, who says:

“The movie might seem like a fictional film that features some historical characters but it’s much more like historical fan fiction. …”Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” creates a new story using existing characters and situations, many of them just happen to be real.”

Ferguson explains that while the film featured many historical characters, the director also took some creative liberties in creating other characters who would carry the story forward. Other characters were modeled after real-life Hollywood counterparts:

“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood of course features some real people like Sharon Tate, Charles Manson, and Bruce Lee. But almost all the characters were real people, many of the scenario are and this entire world is modeled on reality.”
