Throwback Thursday (On A Saturday): Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is a film directed by Quentin Tarantino and was released in 2019. It's a comedy-drama that blends historical events with fictional elements. The film features an ensemble cast and is set in 1969 Los Angeles, against the backdrop of the Manson Family murders and the changing landscape of Hollywood. The 1960s were a rather tumultuous time for America. The Civil Rights Movement, which aimed to end racial segregation and discrimination, had already made substantial progress by 1969. Important legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had been enacted, but challenges and struggles for equal rights persisted. The Vietnam War was a major focal point of national attention. Opposition to the war grew significantly, leading to protests and demonstrations across the country. The anti-war sentiment reached its peak during this time, with events like the Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam drawing massive crowds.
