When the movie goes into the cultural blood, there is no way to measure it – I mean, when it's as powerful as heroin. But when it happens, you feel it. It used to happen often, but is rare in the world we live in today, it swims in the universe of content, most of which split into separate islands. The phrase “popular culture” used to be synonymous with “popular TV” or “blockbuster movies,” but even these things are not once the domination, full eyes, and it is a collective fascinating force. All of this makes Paul Thomas Anderson's “Fight After Fight” a huge turnaround, a very rare film with a chance to dominate cultural dialogue.
Let's see why this happens. “Fight after Fight” is a movie that connects with the moment we get nothing – the moment we enter yes Just like you can't see it. With the push from the United States, getting closer and closer to autocracy day after day, this is a situation that should put everyone in the country on the edge. However, it is part of the essence of autocracy to incorporate people into numbness, delusion, fear and a self-sustaining indifference. This is what is happening in the United States now. Gavin Newsom shouldn't be The only one Some people say we are not at risk of real elections in 2028; many people (leaders, citizens, journalists) should say that. But too many of us are trapped in the middle area between resistance and despair, and that's the mood of “a battle”.
It's in a police country the United States, and it looks and feels like the United States may become within a few years. What makes this film incredible is more than the prophetic quality of its authoritarian environment. (No, it's not “The Hunger Games”.) It's the way of “a battle” that requires us to live in our anxiety and anger, our passive and rebellious caves. This is how the film causes a shock of approval and a sucking breathing statement. This is a movie that looks like a mirror higher.
According to its ecstatic comments, the intensity of the range of awards ceremony, the fact that the movie’s steady box office performance this weekend shows that people choose to listen to critics (things that don’t happen exactly every day (that doesn’t happen every day), and that the general excitement of excitement with the impact of the movie on social media is not like a social media person, I think it’s a part of it like a fight again, it’s a fanatic, it’s a feeling of spreading. Provoking a thousand conversations and creating their own energy field. Even popular movies hardly do that anymore, and many of the critics champions’ movies tend to stir up conversations. I think that’s what last year with “Anora” and “Brutalist” and maybe this year’s “materialist”, it’s a good rom-com, a good rom-com, and on both coasts where romance reaches real estate prices.
On the other hand, “Fight after fight is an entertaining, incredibly spiral political thriller that forces you to face…The fate of our fucking country. It makes you ask: What happened in the United States? Where is all this? Will this prove to be as threatening as the movie seems? In a sense, it’s a question as frightening as anything in the “chin” and “fight after battle” may be a rare film that gives viewers confidence because it’s directly connected to what’s happening in their lives.
Think of a movie, like this one, a Time Elves grand prize, you might have to go back to “Wall Street,” an Oliver Stone financing drama that was lucky to open seven weeks after the stock market crash in 1987. It seems that the movie was designed as a title channel hangover therapy in a decade of greed. Before that, “All President’s Soldiers” emerged two years after Richard Nixon’s resignation from the presidency, but arrived in time for the Watergate scandal to take on the experience of the country, how to shock our values and in some ways reshape their values.
On that score, “Fight after One” opens almost on the right Week. Jimmy Kimmel Saga proved to be a major victory for freedom of speech and a turning point. So it seems James Comey's prosecution. (We can only hope that one person will win like Kimmel.) These earthquake events just fuel the urgency of the film. According to pure relevance, “Fight after Fight” is 10 of 10, but Anderson stages his power peak, which is also the kind of film that coats the theme of electricity and shrouds the film that prints its theme in your headspace. You want to think about it, talk about it, debate it.
It's a counterintuitive prediction that sounds, but I'll stick with it: I think the movie's huge audience will come from the right. The demo of the Red Country tends to avoid films like “Civil War” which sees it as the agility of the free left-wing-but I suspect the huge vision of “fight after battle” might prove unique. (It hurts nothing to have Leonardo DiCaprio play his most illuminating and relevant performance over the years.) The film depicts an underground band of revolutionary guerrillas, but does not lift them up as shining heroes, but instead depicts them in shades of grey, fascinating them and making their naive and selfish. Sean Penn's portrayal of the Army's autocratic Colonel Lockjaw is a satirical military manner that controls humanity. I think the people on the right would go to “a battle” for the best reasons: they would be curious about it. Maybe, they will talk to them in ways they will or will not admit. In a world where Ted Cruz can stand on President Trump during Jimmy Kimmel Saga, I think the message is: a lot of things aren't on the stone.
I'm glad to see a big movie boldly confronting our budding American authoritarianism and showing a view on Christian nationalism, which is especially harsh. However, I'm also happy to see a movie that simply reminds us of how many movies still matter. One feels this way with the “Sinner” to some extent, a vampire thriller that deconstructs America’s racial legacy. Yet even the “sinners” do nothing “one battle after another” – the power to immerse us in the current tense disaster of a nation, Our The concept of freedom may be disintegrating in the country. The cultural heat in a movie like this could be a small step to putting it back.
