Los Angeles, 1969. TV star Rick Dalton, a struggling actor specializing in westerns, and stuntman Cliff Booth, his best friend, try to survive in a constantly changing movie industry. Dalton is the neighbor of the young and promising actress and model Sharon Tate, who has just married the prestigious Polish director Roman Polanski…
This movie contains 38 potentially triggering events.
one of the main characters is an actor playing a villain in a tv show who holds a little girl for ransom and throws her on the floor. this is entirely fictional (in the context of the movie) and the child actor isn't harmed whatsoever and the scene ends very sweetly.
No sexual assault is depicted. One scene alludes to a teenage girl having a history of sexual abuse (or questionable consent): she is implied to be a minor, and when she tries to seduce Brad Pitt's character, he asks her age, and she says it's been a long time since a man has asked her that. I found it sad.
The deaths of the Manson family are so brutal they may qualify as body horror. There is a dog mauling, extreme facial trauma and a flamethrower. They do have it coming, as they intended to commit lots of murder, but it is still very graphic.
Mainly everything worthy of being listed as heavy gore happens at the end of the film. Except for [SPOILERS] The scene where Brad Pitts character beats a dude up at the ranch
A minor tries to have sex with someone but he insists on seeing ID to prove she's 18, and when she doesn't have any, they don't have sex. She does mention that it has been a long time since someone asked her whether she's 18.
No, but a character discusses how another is waiting for a marriage to fail so he can jump in and get back together with his ex. We never know for sure if this is his intention but he is very close with the married couple.
The last scene has graphic violence with lots of audio gore. If only the audio bothers you, you could mute the movie during the violence and turn on subtitles.
After messing up his lines, Rick has a meltdown in his trailer. He throws and breaks things, curses, berates himself and threatens to "blow his brains out" if he messes up again.
Not much of a joke but the narrator does mention that Rick gained 15 pounds from Italian food during his stay in Italy, which got a laugh from the audience at the screening I saw.
Racist behavior and language. The Manson Family is present; the film infamously avoids addressing the fact that they were N*zis, instead making it seem as though they were violent "hippies."
There is a huge age gap, but the younger character is taking advantage of the much much older character. Additionally a minor tries to have sex with an older character but he turns her down due to the inappropriate age difference.
While we never learn exactly what is happening, an older character cannot remember friends or events from the past, and is being taken advantage of in his confusion.
