Pitt, DiCaprio and Robbie reconcile a changing Hollywood

SUMMARY

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, who skyrocketed to fame around the same time more than a quarter-century ago, have joined forces for the first time in a major motion picture to take on their own industry, their own town and even their own egos in a time of great change — 1969 Hollywood. The film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is Quentin Tarantino’s most affectionate and poignant ode yet to the movie business, released this weekend.

Once known only as "Tarantino's Manson Movie," the actual film is something very different. Manson is a character, as are his most notorious followers. And of course, Sharon Tate is depicted too and played by Margot Robbie. But as with most Tarantino movies, it's not exactly what you think. (Andrew Cooper/Sony-Columbia Pictures via AP)

As with many button-pushing Tarantino projects, "Once Upon a Time..." has been at the centre of a few heated public discussions, including the morality of making a movie about Tate and Manson, and the casting of Emile Hirsch, who in 2015 pleaded guilty to assaulting a female studio executive at Sundance.
