The big question for everyone I have the feeling
The “not what people would expect” statement sends up a red flag. Is Tate confirming this theory? On the opposite side of the coin, would Tate be okay with Tarantino making such a drastic change to history? I really don’t know.
I’m freely willing to admit here I might be wrong! This is a theory, after all. I have nothing to “prove” any of this except a wild hunch. But I wouldn’t be surprised if this is what happens. When the official Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Twitter posted the trailer today, the tagline included featured this excerpt: “Experience a version of 1969.” The emphasis on version is mine, but again, I can’t help but think this is yet another clue hinting at a film set in some sort of alternate reality. A reality where the terrible events of August 9, 1969 didn’t happen at all. And as that title implies, this is “once upon a time.” This is not reality – it’s a fairy tale.
