Haven't sought a recent movie in forever: Is "Once Upon a Time/Hollywood" the one?

Saw a YouTube about all the hidden references/cameos - like, who cares about that? I'm a useless English Major, with all the stuff about "symbols" - and really, what's the point of all that? (Apparently my profs failed in their calling.)

...and I swear, no bias, even though I first met Leonardo when he was 4 years old.

And did a Timothy Leary comic book with his dad, George.

I liked the movie and highly recommend it. But I remember thinking at the end, what’s the point? Not sure why, I just thought it was great story telling. Can’t put my finger on it.
