Great film. The ending, as Tarantino intended, was a ‘Hollywood ending’ i.e. feel good but not realistic. I found it depressing, knowing what actually happened. Then again, the ‘Once Upon A Time’ title was a tip off that the film was a modern fable.
Still gratifying to see one lone Texan high as a kite, and a Mexican housewife take down three murderous hippies armed with only a can of dog food, a dog, a swimming pool and a flamethrower. OK. The guy in the pool helped. Wish-fulfilling violence, yes. But brilliantly choreographed.
