The clearest end of the battle after another

Live the revolution! Warning, this is a technician The main spoilers For “one battle after another.”

You can easily describe the films of the writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson as “selective”. There are lines through, of course – internal life, defective personalities, complex relationships. Many attract their essence from a specific time and place, which makes the preparation the star in which personal studies collapse. There is always a drama, but also comedy, romance and suspense. Of course, the camera rarely stops moving.

Somehow, then, “One Battle by Other” is Anderson’s final movie. Each of these pieces plays a role at the time of the operation of the film, which is about three hours long, creating a self -declared epic, which is a comic adventure, the excitement of the movement, the modern team, political drama, political drama and personal drama. It is also not perfect, and sometimes swelling exceeds its ability to demand properly. But then, this may have been the exact intention.

Abandoning the semantic conversation about Anderson’s artistic sensitivities, “one battle after another” is, in essence, throughout the rotation. There are car chases that will remind you of “Bullitt”, immigration chimneys and police protests that will remind you now. in the end , “One battle after another” It leaves you breathless, but not without time to treat what happened. There is no Cliffhanger, but there is an openness to the way the film ends, which is incomplete quality, which provides a different kind of contentment.

“One battle after another” is an epic in the literal sense, with a relatively small group of basic characters withdrawing through an escalating group of dangers across the place and time. The story opens the announcement of a strict American revolutionary group called French 75, which takes the form of an attack on the migrant detention center near the borders of the United States and Mexico. A successful raid liberates all detainees, but not before leader Berdevia Beverly Hills (Tiana Taylor) crosses the paths with the sexual associated military man Stephen J. Lukio (Sean Ben), who develops her obsession and begins to track the activities of the group.

Fast forward after many successful operations that robbed banks and bombing vacant political offices, and a somewhat strange and disturbing sexual confrontation between Berdevia and Lucgao, and we find the revolutionary leader strongly carrying without any sign of stopping their radical chase of freedom and justice. The child’s father’s identity was left mysterious to most films between Lukegao, the revolutionary and actual romantic partner in Berdeia, Pat (Leonardo DiCaprio). A strong seizure of postpartum depression leads to a more reckless behavior than Perfidia, which falls into the arms of law. She threatened decades in prison, and blew her former colleagues in exchange for the arrangement of the protection of witnesses created by Lukegao, which ultimately gives her the opportunity to escape to Mexico.

Then the movie jumps 16 years to find Bat Leving in the role of Bob Ferguson in the city of Baktan Kroos, where he raises his daughter, Perfevia Wella (Chis Infiniti), under the ongoing madness of greatness and the permanent voju state. When the Lockjaw app threatens a secret worship of power brokers, whitening-adventurers club at Christmas-to reveal his potential child with Perfidia, colonel now releases an anti-migrant raid on Baktan Cross to find, throw Willa and Bob at Odysse to escape from his violence and find each other again.

After a series of movement groups that focused on Bob and Willia Karate Censey, Sergio Saint Carlos (Benyevio del Toro), “one battle after another” relies on an climate confrontation about the task in which a former French member brought 75 (Regeina Hall) Wella for its safe preservation. Lockjaw and the men’s men storm, and faces his potential daughter in the church, where he eventually runs the DNA test that is achieved from his parents.

Desperate to hide the evidence for the previous “break of race”, it delivers it to the reward of the AVANTI (Eric Shoyig), which in turn delivers it to a white white militia that it has overlooked to get rid of it. However, Avanti has second ideas and ends up facing potential killers, allowing Willie to escape. Meanwhile, Lockjaw is caught and bombed on the road by TIM (John Hogenakker), a member of Adventurers’ Christmas club who discovered the truth of his crimes against white racist purity. Lockjaw miraculously alive from the attack but was later killed by the group after it was brought to the “southwest headquarters” under false allegations of membership. Dyandra was arrested by the army.

After chasing a tense car, Wella Tim Mitt, just moments ago that Bob finally found her and takes her home. In the closing scenes, Bob Will gives a message written by her mother, who apologizes for her cheese and sends hope to meet one day. Then Wella hears about the protests that occur in Auckland and the car enters to join them, which indicates that the revolutionary spirit lives in it.

Although it is absent from the majority of the movie, Perfidia waves on the horizon on everything that happens. Her shocking decision to betray French 75 to ensure her freedom – a decision that many of them die instead of arresting him simply – feels contradictory to what we see until this point. But as the film continues and we listen to it more about it from different people who knew it, the pieces collect.

The fiery sincerity to liberate her above all, along with a strong postpartum depression and a feeling of isolation after the birth of her daughter, ultimately pushes her away from society as she felt at home. It is reasonable to believe that Bob lied to Wella about being a hero, not only to protect his daughter, but because he really forgives her for what she did.

In her message, Perfidia wrote that she hopes that her daughter would not make the same mistakes she made – she will find her a better way to help the world change for the better. In a movie full of ugliness and violence, the last shot of Wella withdrawing from the corridor is deeply and simply optimistic. The same time has passed, and the development of the battle with it brings a kind of victory, even as the world continues to struggle against a lot of evil.

Looking at the film’s messages, it is sad and deserves to be criticized Production had a non -causing society forcibly moved While filming in Sacramento.

On the other side of the corridor of the relatively happy Bob and Willia, we have the Adventure Club on Christmas – the worship of the wealthy white, which is absent from racism and abhorrent. The film does not put any words, linking this underground infrastructure to the general action that Lukegao and others were convinced in the police and the army. In fact, it is mainly mentioned that the only reason he considers membership is that his wide anti -immigrant act is beautifully in line with the clan’s automatic views.

It should be noted here that the original title for “One Battle after” was “The Battle of Baktan Cross”, where he focuses on the second film law, where Sensei St. reveals. Carlos on the wide infrastructure that was built to organize and protect the city’s migrant community. When Lockjaw machines depend on a set of violence, all we see from the societal side of Baktan Cross is based on the principles of care, recovery and peace. When violence erupts in the streets of the city between the demonstrators and the police, this is only because Lukegao sends plants to the crowd to throw explosives and give his men’s license to attack.

In some way, the city’s siege of the city is a work of self -hatred. His violence against his daughter, which is very coward that he cannot behave himself, is an attempt to kill the last thing that may be actual humanity – the need to join the worship of hatred that he strongly seeks to give him importance.

While the rest of the adventurers on Christmas are still clay, the film draws their lives in joyful colors and a culture that is absent from the dead-swollen spirit, the offensive corner offices, and bad American paintings. On the contrary, Bob and Willia are surrounded by the signs of life in their home, in contrast, apparently in peace although the violence can call again.

In the show and a discussion attended by a movie in the New York Royal Square in New York, Paul Thomas Anderson Members of the “One Battle after the Other” discussed the prevailing photos, messages and ideas of the film. While the director himself moved away from attaching any moral morals in the movie, DiCaprio shared his own view that “there is a hidden from being good to each other” in the heart of the movie “, from helping each other in the most difficult and most attractive times,” noting that Sensii St. Carlos in particular. The actor also discussed the adventurers at Christmas – an idea, although it is ridiculous and strange, as she feels “by touch” and “very real”.

From Anderson’s point of view, the goal was to maintain the focus of the story in a very personal and emotional way, all the way to the end, instead of having a prevailing topic at home by the last moments. “You cannot try to wrap your arms around the world,” said the author/director. “There is a real heroic story for a pop, but it is not on the camera. It is the first years of raising this child, but at a certain stage, it is hostage to this position.”

Through this lens, the last season of Wila enters its own authority and actively participating with the practice of justice with its conditions is the final victory. Regardless of the mistakes that Bob and Perfevia may have committed in the turns, they built a way forward for the next generation, even when they fully fully understand it.
