I could have written this post as I also lived in H'wood during that era and was leery of Tarantino films. My reaction to the film and the ending mirrored yours.Yeah, I think Tarantino has a violence fetish. Great director, but his penchant for gore has kept me away from several of his films that I'm sure were very good, but didn't want to fade the gross violence.
I was leery of seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for that reason. But I knew so much about that particular era, having lived in Hollwyood at the time, that I saw it anyway. I was very pleasantly surprised, and very much enjoyed the film. There was almost no gore except at the end, which was treated as comedy.
What a coincidence. I lived in Laurel Canyon at the time, just two canyons over from Benedict Canyon. Everyone was creeped out, not knowing where they might strike again.I could have written this post as I also lived in H'wood during that era and was leery of Tarantino films.

Oh. In my opinion it's one of the best movies.For the first time I ever, I finally saw this movie all the way through. I must say, it was very depressing. I have no intention of ever watching it again.
