In this case, Dalton and BoothвЂ™s story plays out over the historical reality of the Tate murders, in which members of the Manson Family brutally murdered actress Sharon Tate and several others on the night of August 8-9, 1969. Like the stories in several of TarantinoвЂ™s previous films, Once Upon a Time is a fictional narrative set against a largely historical backdrop. (When compared to his filmography up to this point, including blood-spattered films like The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds, Once Upon a Time is, until its final scenes, practically a gentle breeze.) In the directorвЂ™s newest meta-epic, DiCaprioвЂ™s Dalton, who had achieved stardom in вЂ™50s Western serials, runs square into the real-life historical changes that took place half a century ago, as he grapples with directors who want his hair and his costumes to be more hip and hippie-fied and audiences with a diminishing taste for the stiff theatrics of his earlier work. Tarantino, whose first feature was released in 1992, has certainly benefited from more liberal attitudes toward showing violence in film.

The new Hollywood, as TIME wrote in 1967, enjoyed вЂњa heady new freedom from formula, convention and censorship.вЂќ Many of those movies upended long-held ideas of what could be depicted onscreen, including increasing levels of violence, as in 1967вЂ™s Bonnie and Clyde, and greater freedom with regard to sexuality, as in the same yearвЂ™s The Graduate. вЂњThose younger directors and actors are starting to make films, and a lot of their films are really popular - much to the irritation of the more traditional Hollywood,вЂќ explains Christine Lamberson, a historian at Angelo State University in Texas.
