One battle after another gives the legendary SNL comedy a role of evil support

If you are just an informal fan with Long -term comedy late at night from “Saturday Night Live”. You may not be aware of the name James Downey. But like many great comedies will tell you, it is one of the most veiled comedian writers in all times. “Snl”, the creative Lauren Michaels, once described “the best political humor”, described by Conan Oberin as “the best comic writer we all arrange.” Even Dennis Miller described Downey the second most important in the history of “SNL”, behind Lorne Michaels only.

Over the history of “SNL”, Downey wrote for 27 seasons of the first 32 shows, giving him one of the longest period in this series. When he left a little in the early eighties, he became a major writer for “late at night with David Litrman” where he is attributed to creating a ten -year -old list. Later on his “SNL” career, he became known to work closely with Norm McDonald in jokes in the weekend update, and he was expelled directly with Norm after NBC’s CEO Don Ohlmeyer was tired All their amazing jokes OJ Simpson. During one of the summits in the political history of “SNL”, Downey was the person who put a “strategy” in the mouth of Will Ferrell as President of George W. Bush. These are just a few lead points for Downey’s greatness.

Therefore, those familiar with Downi may be surprised to hear that Paul Thomas Anderson, condensed, dark comedy movie “One Battle after Other” It brings the comedy to the appearance of a rare large screen. Even if you are not aware of Downey’s achievements, you may have seen him elsewhere before. For example, Downey played a homeless man in “dirty work” and director of the Billy Madison School, the man who continues to present this famous quote during the academic solery:

How, and why is James Downey in “one battle after another”, especially when he only appeared in nine films and about half a scale of television programs outside “SNL” over the years? Well, Paul Thomas Anderson has a long and intimate history with some of the most reliable comedians in the twenty -first century, not only because he is a fan, but because of who is married.

Beware, there are spoilers of “one battle after another” from here on the right!

In “one battle after another,” James Downey (seen above in A recent documentary “SNL”Sandy Irvine, a member of the Conversized Advensurers’ Club, a white superiority organization consisting of rich white men in a major part of the story of the film that was completely excluded from marketing. Adventurors’ Christmas-which also includes Throchmorton (Tony Goldwin), Roy Moore (Kevin Tigi), and Bill Dismond-DWTFett-trying to recruit Colonel Stephen J. Lukegao (Sean Pennsylvania), a military man spending his time keeping immigrants in America and appears to have a clear perspective on White Superm Super.

However, like many men in real life in his likes, his hatred is actually hiding a very passionate, because after a confrontation with 75 Berdevia Bevrea Bevrea Hills, French (Tiana Taylor), a black woman who leads the rebels’ charge with empty immigrants.

Flash forward for 16 years, and Berfvedia Beverly Hills disappeared after she got rid of some of her revolutionary colleagues, gave up the witness protection program, and left Colonel Lukjao high and dry. Unfortunately, she also left behind her husband Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio), and was previously “Ghetto Pat” of the French 75, and their daughter Charlin (Chis Infiniti), who now live under new identities provided by their revolutionary allies in order to keep them away from the radar of Colonel Lukayo.

Unfortunately for Pop and Charlene (or Wella, as it is now known), since Colonel Lukjao has been invited to the Adventures Club at Christmas, he now needs to take care of any loose ends that may prevent him from reaching a group that does not want to do anything with any white race, such as the possibility of an illegitimate daughter who may be carried from his sexual confrontation with Perfidia. Thus, the “battle after one battle” begins, and it is unavoidable in its severity, suspense and speed.

However, the film has quiet moments, although it also ends until it is more chilling, and this is where James Downey plays.

James Downey plays Sandy Irvin as an ideal for the personality of the comedian. He is a soft man, as you can see in his few manifestations in movies and TV shows. It is his delivery that makes the above quote “Billy Madison” is very happy and unforgettable. So when you hear Downey calmly and frankly from the very secret Christmas club club, it makes it worrying innocent, although we know something darker below the surface of their meeting in the initial employment with Colonel Lockjaw.

However, it is the second meeting of the Adventures Club at Christmas, where Downey becomes more concerned. This is the time when the four adult members in the club are leading to discuss the presence of the daughter of Colonel Lukjao, the illegitimate legitimacy, and they are walking quickly, and they talk accidentally about the white superiority and the employment of a killer (John Hogerer, who is seen above) to take care of this situation as possible. Again, Downey’s voice, the unpredictable way he talks about such hideous beliefs and actions, is sad, especially if you take a moment to believe that there are more likely organizations like this all over the world.

While Downey was called “Equalist Opportunities” in a political comedy by Tom Challes, co -author of “Live from New York: A History of Saturday Night Live”, the comedian described himself as conservative democratic. However, the old warriors “SNL” in Downey sees a little differently, with “Step Brothers” and “Deputy” director Adam McCai In reference to him that he is right and even “Ann Colleter” and former writer and politician Al Frankeen, he describes him as “studied governor.” This cloudy perspective may be another component that made Downey attractive to Paul Thomas Anderson for a role like this, a man who can easily look on one side of the corridor or another in public places but clearly defined political beliefs behind closed doors.

Previously, Downey was a small role in Anderson is a tremendous “there will be blood” (Viewed above), where the Rose family and real estate broker played in Boston Little. In addition, let’s remember that Anderson is married to the former “SNL” star “Maya Rudolph”, and it is often attached to the 8H studio halls when “SNL” rings were collected, including the times when Downey was present. It was exploited in the comedy scene in Los Angeles for a long time, which was ended in Patton Ozwal in part of it in “Magnolia” before he was really famous. So it seems that Anderson knows only how and when a person should be used like James Downey, even if he is not what we expect.

“Battle after another” is now playing in theaters everywhere.
