"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" This Quentin Tarantino 's ninth personal work was not released in China for some reasons, but some friends in China must have seen it through some channels. The so-called "experts watch the doorway, laymen watch the excitement" , those who really like Quentin and those who know Quentin will think that this is a "love letter" written by Quentin to Hollywood, although only a little bit of Quentin at the end." Violent aesthetics", but basically restored the Hollywood look of the 1960s.

Xiaozhi, as a film and television Xiao Mengxin, wants to understand the background of the movie-Manson murder.
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is set in the United States in the 1960s, and is at the end of Hollywood's "golden age", and hippie culture is emerging. The story has two main narrative lines, one is the virtual acting career of Xiaoli and Brad Pitt . Quentin also reflects the end of that era through their acting roads, you ever If you are angry, you have no choice. No matter how good your acting skills are, it is useless. The other is designed based on the Sharon Tate murder case in the "Manson Murder" that shocked Los Angeles. Some people say that this line was designed because the tragedy happened in the late 1960s. It is also said that Quentin privately paid tribute to Roman Polanski who is also a talented Hollywood director. (Genius is inevitably lonely, but Roman Polanski doesn't seem to be happy.) However, no matter what the reason, Xiaozhi wants to pick up the causes and consequences of the "Manson Murder" today. In the
movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", Quentin did not restore the original situation of the case, but added the pair of cps, Xiao Lizi and Brad Pitt, who happened to be Roman Polanski’s neighbors in the film, and Pete The role of Cliff happens to be a stunt stand-in who can tie with "Bruce Lee" and in the film. What's more coincidental is that the four members of the Manson family wanted to "solve" Little Plum and Pete first, and the result was staged. A Kun-style violence aesthetic. The four Sharon Tate were lucky enough to escape. But the real situation is a massacre. Sharon Tate all died at the hands of the Manson family, and Sharon Tate was pregnant with an 8-month-old child...

Before checking Charlie Manson's information, Xiaozhi had a guess that Manson's childhood was definitely not happy.
Sure enough, Manson’s mother gave birth to him at the age of 16, and his biological father is unknown. Because his mother is a regular visitor to the prison, he had to be handed over to his aunt to raise him. Although the aunt is a devout believer, his uncle is a pervert. All kinds of bullying Manson also caused him to run away from home at the age of ten. 's lack of normal teaching has caused a distortion of personality and character. After
was released on parole for many times, he came to San Francisco and , which also became the beginning of his fame. In the late 1960s, when hippie culture emerged, the younger generation responded to their opposition to nationalism and the Vietnam War through communal and vagrant lifestyles. With long hair, wearing leather jackets and bell bottom pants, is a bit like our country. The non-mainstream people a year ago, but they were much more terrible than the non-mainstream people, taking drugs, prostitution, and attacking society with music. (Here is just to mention the bad part of the hippie culture)
Manson also rose in this era, he used drugs and music to control his followers. There are rumors that because the famous Hollywood director Roman Polanski made a film "Rosemary's Baby" (the film is anti-cult), Manson led the family members to brutally murder Roman Polanski’s wife and three others A good friend (Romain went to Europe to film at the time), there are also rumors that Manson asked Romain's wife Sharon Tate for directions and was insulted and caused the tragedy.

when he was arrested, no matter what kind of statement it is, it cannot be separated from Manson’s tragic childhood and environment . I have read this passage on Douban: "70% of abused children will grow up to become abusers, and the remaining 30% will continue to be abusers." This sentence may be just a gimmick from the author. , But it is undeniable that it is very suitable for Manson.
At the beginning of a person, the nature is good, the nature is similar, and the habits are far apart.
No one is born a wicked person, it is only because of the changes in the acquired environment that people are different. Parental influence as a childIt is vital to the future of the child.
will never forget those children in "Lake of Eden" , how can teenagers be able to deal with big people? Oh, it turned out to be "taught" by parents.

Perhaps we will never experience these plots in the movie, but if every parent leads by example and teaches children to be humble and polite, will this world be better?
