WHAT IF IT'S NOT TARANTINO?

27.08 I was in Angliter, friends. I watched the acclaimed movie "Once upon a Time in Hollywood". There is still an aftertaste and a lot of questions. And a dream with a fragment from the movie.
What is art, I ask myself? What and for what purpose was it created? What should I give to the world by being a part of this process? 
What should or can the director give, what message does he carry? And does it carry? And should I? And to whom, for whom is he making a movie?
Questions, questions, questions. I'm not a critic, as you know. I'm just a spectator and a thinking person. Not quite educated (not to be confused with the mind), but not at all biased, due to his lack of education. 

I watched the movie and constantly caught myself asking myself - and if this movie had not been shot by Tarantino, who would have watched it? The answer "no" sounded treacherous! People were somehow "waiting for a crime", because everyone understood whose painting they had come to. But there is still no crime. Not for an hour. Not for two hours. And what is there? The story of two partners - a star and a stuntman, who became friends by the will of fate. There is a "behind the scenes" that I, who have been on the other side of the camera many times, understand. There are jokes and self-irony, understandable to "filmmakers". There is a kind of story of the actor's "sunset". There is a "thread" of the development of relations between the characters. There is a historical part in the film, what actually happened, and this is also shown in the film (the story of the sect "Family"). Everything is there!
But. It's impossible to watch. Yes, DiCaprio's close-ups. Long scenes. The aged Brad Pete. They're all kind of old and battered. Like "... men as stale as a hospital and women as shabby as a proverb"...
I wanted to leave several times! The audience was at a loss. This perplexity was right in the air... Iiiii? - it was asked in the ancient hall of Angliter!
And "and" it dragged on and on... I was curious! Why is the whole "world" waiting for what Tarantino wants to say with his film? Why did he chain us to himself with this?!
And I just started watching. And wait.
And I just started watching. And wait.
And I waited. I heard the main message that justified the "dark" in art. And sometimes, to show the light, you have to "turn off" the lamps everywhere!
"They have been teaching us to kill for 50 years. Now we're going to come and kill them," one character said at the end of the film. And after that scene, Tarantino appeared. The one that everyone has been waiting for!
Yes, there was a lot of blood. There was a hell of cruelty and some kind of murderous nonsense. There was a feeling of spiritual, almost physical coma from what was happening for 5 minutes on the screen. And all this heavy drudgery tore up the space of this phrase, terrible in its truthfulness: "they taught us to kill for 50 years. Now we will come and kill them!"
A curtain.
I had difficulty "picking off" pieces of this flesh from myself. I barely got out of this story. I barely got rid of the "aura" of the film. But, for me, Tarantino became clear - he consciously did what he did. And he is ready to take responsibility for what he did in art. And he, through this film, reminds us of our responsibility - know that what you do will come back to you. Necessarily. It's a matter of time.
I take off my hat.
