One Battle After Another

Yes! I'll be watching. But not because of DiCaprio, but because of Hall. Which is remembered for the series of films "Very scary movie" as a Brand.
"Cindy!
- Brenda! I thought you were dead!
"I thought you were dead.")

This is a film in which razor-sharp humor and dark absurdity collide with politics and power, and in this clash, the Parent Committee reveals a truth so dark, so bitterly funny, that it looks more like an analysis of the world in which we find ourselves.

The first movie with DiCaprio that I haven't mastered to the end. The first part of the movie is good, then it's absurd. There is a separate fat minus for the musical accompaniment.

Anderson created a very specific and unusual creation. his films were always for a special fan and sometimes delighted or, on the contrary, caused some kind of disgust from the whole sur on the screen.

so it is this time. Anderson assembled a cool cast and rolled out an arthouse match, which obviously not everyone will understand and obviously not for everyone. in some ways, it looked thrash, in some ways repulsive, but as a satire and ridicule of various cliches, it seemed to be a good thing. although again, most of the topics in the context are designed for an American audience.

very mixed impressions. neither yes, but not exactly no. you can watch it, but I would definitely not recommend it purposefully.

Someone post a meme with a dude with fillers and Teyana Taylor. It's a nightmare. I've only seen half the movie with these creepy fillers.
In general, I don't know what the movie is, but you can watch it)

It doesn't seem bad, but according to the trailer, something completely different was expected. It seems as if you are watching the second part, and somewhere there is the first one, which tells about France 75.
It's probably a matter of high expectations, but I wanted to see a black comedy peppered with explosions and other things, but there was actually no comedy (there were a few jokes for the whole film, not to say strong and sometimes absurd situations), and it couldn't be called an action movie, except for cutting into the affairs of the Revolution, there was nothing much else. So it turns out that we are actually watching a movie where someone from the top decided to clean up the mess and he failed, but instead of pretentious secret agents, we have a stoned DiCaprio, and instead of action, endless running. Probably the idea was to break the template in some way, but it turned out very poorly, it was necessary either to go into full realism, or to turn everything into a farce, and so a little of this, a little of that, and the output is an extremely depressing sight.
A special question is raised by the ending and a kind of spiritual reconciliation with Perfidia. We were shown throughout the film that she was a selfish, complete scum, but only one letter was enough to forgive her and adopt her ideas.😐

But I liked it.
After reading the comments, I thought it would be a hassle, but I looked at it in a flash.
It turned out to be very epic. It's not a movie, it's just pure emotion. The sound is an integral part of what is happening.
PTAH based the script on Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland. But if it were based on a novel, it would be even crazier and more incomprehensible. That's probably why PTAH changed the plot and brought it back to our time. But he left the same meaning and conclusions - the battle for freedom, for his identity, to live as you want.
They wrote in the comments above that this is a type of satire. But where? Like the racist Christmas Adventurers club, where they worship Nicholas and Santa Claus. Are there no Satan worship circles nowadays? Or in the USA, over there, the Democrats call the Republicans fascists and arrange terror. The reality of our time is very well shown and read.
Nevertheless, PTA managed to grab the nerve of the radicalization of modern American society and transfer it to the screen, even in this manner. That's why he's a great director.

The timing could have been shortened, and probably closer to the American audience, but in general it was not bad and the time spent was not a pity)

I didn't like gg, the man's face, she was so sexualized, which is disgusting. I didn't like the first part of the film, the second part was already good without gg. And humor appeared at the end.

The role of DiCaprio and Sean Penn is great, the movie itself is a bit boring.

There are two scenes in the film where the brain needs to be reminded to breathe for 20 minutes in order not to lose consciousness from exertion.

I looked at it. Then I didn't understand what I was looking at. Satire? An alternative story? Fiction? A dystopia? Another protest by leftist Hollywood against Trump? Interracial erotic fantasies about the revolution? P.S. DiCaprio still looks like Lenin.

I don't quite understand why the reviews in the comments are so strict. Good quality movies are much stronger than most of the films that are currently being released. I liked the direction and the acting, especially Sean Penn . 😂 There are a lot of stylish moments , it even reminded the old people that they don't belong here ) and at least the plot base is not ordinary and not hackneyed
With this kind of timing, I measured it with ease. 👍🏼
I hope the film finds its audience, it seemed to me that they worked hard on it.

There's something about PTAH's films that keeps me from falling in love with them. That's how it happened with this one, even though he came close to making it happen.
I definitely wanted to review it someday, because the first viewing, despite the solid timing, was easy. Which I consider a great achievement for this film.

PS The Colonel aka the Seed Demon is bound to become the new classic villain

The colonel played great. The movie itself is a long drawn out and boring drag

I categorically did not understand the message of this film.

On the one hand, this is a film about the struggle against the regime of racial injustice, on the other hand, it showed everyone as assholes - both revolutionaries and warriors.

Revolutionaries are fighting for all that is good against the bad government. She has oppression of people of color, women, and the war on abortion, etc.
At the same time, the methods of struggle and the actions of the heroine Tiyana cause only negativity.
Killing a guard is just nonsense. She killed him just for nothing, although if I saw correctly, he was also colored.
The scene of the escape from the murder scene looks funny and silly. These are professionals who were able to organize very serious crimes, could hide from the soldiers for many years and hold active resistance, but at the same time they did not understand at all what to do when they tried to hide.

DiCaprio's character is annoying and nasty. He was infuriating all the time until the moment of saving his daughter and the final scene with the letter.
And that's cool. DiCaprio wasn't afraid to play such an unpleasant character and did it perfectly.

Sean Penn's character is gorgeous too. He's disgusting, disgusting, repulsive. He showed it with all his facial movements, gait and manners.

The Christmas club looks like another nonsense about Freemasons. It's unrealistic, stupid, and pointless.

All the conclusions that I can draw from the outcome of this film are all bad, except for the Mexicans. Del Toro's character is great. Once again, he has a simple and memorable charismatic role. The bounty hunter is also kind of a negative character, but with the principles for which he died, saving the girl.

The music is terrible. It certainly provided the tension that the plot required. But it wasn't at the expense of the atmosphere, but due to the fact that the music itself is very annoying and annoying.

In the end, fuck knows what kind of emotions are in the end. They seem to be normal, but they're not normal at all.
Where is the moral of this fable?

And again, the film has a very American context, although for P.T.A. it is, in fact, not surprising.
The film didn't make much impression, but there were some very interesting formal solutions. For example, the chase scene at the very beginning of the movie, the road scene at the end. And, of course, the passage in the middle, when the colonel showed up in the city with the army. 40 minutes to such a jazzy sound, unobtrusive, you seem to stop distinguishing it at some point, but it is there, connects all the scenes, maintains the rhythm and tension, does not let you turn off the film. Great!
The Christmas Adventure society was amused, and the name is "Merry Christmas! Saint Nikolaus!", very funny 😁 The real Nazis also gassed the colonel, as in a concentration camp. A stone in the garden of the right and, for sure, Trump is counted.
Sean Penn is great here! He's terribly disgusting, disgusting and just ugh, I really want to wash up after scenes with him. So, he played well, as if he had even won an Oscar for best supporting role. But DiCaprio didn't see anything brilliant, so far there are questions about his second Oscar.

Personally, I want to empathize with the characters in the movie/book. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way with this movie. Each character is disgusting and stupid in their own way. There is a strong feeling that the film was shot not for the audience, but for awards.

I screamed the whole movie at how ridiculous it looked, but I couldn't take the plot seriously at all.
Separately, it is worth noting the soundtrack, I almost lost my mind from the endless piano.

Johnny Greenwood is a genius

Bravo:
DiCaprio👏🏼👏🏼
Sean Penn👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

No one mentioned how good Benicio del Toro is here. In the scenes he was in, he was clearly taking all the attention on himself.
DiCaprio, and especially Penn, did a great job.

It would be better to review the murder of the flower moon.

To be honest, the movie is a complete fucker. Only the actors save him. Leonardo DiCaprio, as always, gives out the level — at least you can watch something without pain. Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro are also working hard, but it's clear that it's hard for them to play in this mess of ideas and pathos.

Then the typical Hollywood mess begins. Everything is packed with an agenda: non—binary characters, the suffering of minorities, the clubs of the "white oppressors" - in short, the whole standard set, without which, apparently, they simply don't make movies there now. Instead of a real story about struggles or ideals, we get a lecture about "tolerance" mixed with revolutionary fanaticism and a bunch of empty dialogues.

And it seems that the film is trying to show moral degradation, how ideals crumble, how fanaticism destroys the mind — but in the end it just turns out to be a show-off. The characters act stupidly, break the law themselves, and suffer from their own stupidity.

Perhaps the only thing that really works is an honest reflection of what all these "fighters for justice" have become. They themselves do not understand what they are fighting against, and they become a mirror of the system they hate.

Otherwise, she's a dummy with good actors. The plot is about nothing, it makes zero sense, but there are plenty of subpoenas. After watching it, one feeling remains: this is what a movie looks like when they want to please everyone at once, but in the end they don't get into anyone.

The film, in the form of hyperbole, shows the problems of the modern civil society of the USA.
These problems don't bother me, so the film left me mostly indifferent.

It's been a long time since a movie left such feelings. On the one hand, there is a rare game, a complete lack of logic in what is happening, the action is more like a Marvel craft. On the other hand, 2 hours and 40 minutes passed unnoticed, there was more than enough action, dynamic, fun and fervor. If it weren't for DiCaprio's sour face))) Sometimes he gets lucky with projects.

Sean Peng was pleased, as if the whole movie was started for him. Great role.

The beginning was hard to overcome. Especially the behavior of his wife (Half of the film thought it was Rihanna playing, it was watched without glasses). She reminded me too much of an irresponsible relative with the same personality.
Then the film began to look a bit like Malavita. The same dynamics and the same trash, but less humor.
There was a strong feeling that the film would have an Anti-Trump agenda until the end. I hoped to change by the end. With her agenda, she strongly resembled Mickey 17 with caricature.

BUT.
Big But.
In this film, Paul Thomas Andersen managed to show the villains as competent (a rarity in such films). The villains do their job well. They showed how banal the reasons can be and that you can break anyone. Without exception. This is a big plus of the film, that although they are caricatured villains, they are still competent.
And overall, the film was suspenseful and the third act was good.
That's just the moment with the letter (again, I remembered a relative who stupidly abandoned the children) and the chosen path is so bad that after reaching the third act, you can optionally flush it down the toilet.
The camera work is very high quality. The music is so-so.
The result: 7.5 out of 10. But I won't review it.
Upd. Sean Penn is amazing, and the young actress played well too.

And someone said that Leo would get a second Oscar for this shit.
Rare 💩
He plays really well, but the movie itself is such bullshit.

Separate alaverdy to sean penn... Get his old Oscar shoved up his ass for this new job.... He keeps it with the nit ...

I'm just tired of watching it...

Based on the difference in ratings here and on imdb, it is immediately noticeable how specific and narrowly aimed the film is at a certain audience. Alas, I also missed it, although there are a few memorable fragments). It's well shot, but the plot feels like a composite set of firewood.

Sean Penn has been professing rather radical views in recent years and has clearly turned his soul away in this role). But Leo's character did not cause either sufficiently vivid negative emotions or positive ones, only irritation. And I was disappointed in the end, unlike the above-mentioned Benicio with a simple and understandable "hero". Oh yes, as with the frames and pictures we take the machine-gun shirts for the promotional video, so here, the feelings are the same. In general, it's awesome to watch it for almost 160 minutes. But I don't regret it either, just not a part of his target audience, i.e. Americans.

P.S. America is really in a big storm, since films about revolutionary movements, civil war and the like are appearing more and more often, regardless of whether Republicans or Democrats are in power.

"What a mother fucker fuck"

Those who shout louder and
show off are the ones who will be the first to betray their principles.
That's the only lesson I've seen in this movie. I didn't quite understand what else the author wanted to convey. But! Let's be honest, the film was shot for Americans for Americans. We can't understand it any more than they can understand "Brother." And if we discard the conventions that every film should be deeply philosophical and carry a message, but just follow the development of the plot, enjoy the music and stupidly relax, then we get not a bad movie.

What else is needed? Did the actors do well? Yes. Sean Penn was delightfully disgusting in his role. DiCaprio also played well.
Was the story interesting? Yes, but what's not? Was there any action? Was.
Music? The musical accompaniment is generally mind-blowing.

Actually, this is the first PTAH movie I've seen. And I'm not disappointed. Absolutely. The markers taste and color different, as they say. So this felt-tip pen is cool.

I read the comments and I don't understand: Is this a masterpiece from PTAH or a movie that only Americans can understand? But I am sure that if I had watched it in a language completely unfamiliar to me, I would have sobbed the same way at the end, in the footage where my daughter rushed into Bob's arms.

The story is so coolly told on such an emotional level that is understandable without words. A curly-haired DiCaprio in a bathrobe, a chubby Sean Penn with a boner — you won't forget this, everyone has an Oscar!

But most importantly, I felt the vibe of the "Elusive Avengers", just like when I was a kid. It's a pity they stopped making such films here.

"If thunder breaks over the world again,
The sky will burst into flames—
Just tell us,
We will come to the rescue!" 💪😁

Despite the timing, the film flew by unnoticed, but more than the main character at the beginning of the film, the musical accompaniment in the middle was terribly annoying, this obsessive pounding of the piano! Overall, I really liked the game of Leo, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro, so it's a good impression. Viva la Revolucion!

It's a typical auteur movie, and you don't even have to try. It's not Paul's best film for me, but the chances of a movie of the year are huge. And Oscar to Sean Penn, I think without options.

What an outrage I saw.
The movie is literally about nothing, but for something: an attempt to show that the soldiers who arrested illegal immigrants are all bad, and all illegal immigrants are all good. It turned out to ridicule only themselves, the authors, and the "resistance." And yes, everyone who supports the deportation of illegal immigrants is a Nazi. Ugh.

I guess it was filmed for leftists. But with everyone's money. Money doesn't smell, does it?

It feels the same as the oil from the PT: each character has some strange goals that obscure his eyes. Whether it was a Revolution (I still didn't understand what they were fighting for, at least Porphydia. Revolution for the sake of revolution?). Sean Penn's hero - greatness for the sake of greatness? Get into some obscure circle of white power holders?
It seems that this is the same Oil, only in a different setting and from a different angle (because there one gg wanted money for the sake of money, and the other wanted to control people, but both had a leading goal - not to feel worthless). So it is here - many people do something to rise above their insignificance, not paying attention to some real moments.

In both films, I was left at the end feeling like, "Um, so what?" Apparently, PTAH is not really my director, although I still want to watch other films, maybe something will become clearer.

The situation was slightly improved by the humor and cheerfulness of the narration - the viewing was quite easy (unlike the very tedious Oil). However, some moments seemed quite absurd and cringe-worthy. The bloody Rambo-sinking at the end + the subsequent removal of the body from the office is generally a combo, of course)
The cutest character is Sensei. He has a "real goal" and a "real path."

It's a very long and drawn-out film with absolutely no soul. The author has conveniently set priorities for the stupidest viewers, but they still don't work. Who should I empathize with? Fighters for revolution with ugly characters, rotten politicians with ugly characters. The girl who found herself embroiled in this war after 15 years does not cause any emotions. Shot on a grand scale, the message is cheap.

I didn't recognize Sean Penn at all
The movie, as usual, is uncomfortable to watch at PTAH. Well, at least this movie looks easy, unlike some kind of magnolia.

It turns out that this is also the first Paul Thomas Anderson movie that I've seen. And it was hard, I barely watched it, it was very long, and the topic was not interesting (or too political), the agenda was too political, and there were a couple of jokes. I was hoping for Leo, but I didn't pull it out, although I watched mostly because of him, of course.
Don't you have all these movies? Oil, Magnolia has been on the waiting list for a long time. Or does it depend on the setting?

For the sake of the scene where Leo falls off the roof, gets up calmly, and is immediately finished off with a taser, I am ready to forgive everything.

A long advertisement for Motorola.
Why is there all this nonsense about 15 years ago in the movie? So that what? To spoil the whole plot in advance?
The car chase scene is generally a shame, how did they all suddenly recognize each other and found each other and followed each other? I've heard that America is a big country. Why was the killer chasing the girl at all? Why would a girl shoot an essentially random person and drive off into the sunset without explaining it to herself?
And for G-d's sake, "Christmas travelers"? I am an unbeliever, but this is already over the edge even for me, Satan is really on the warpath.
And Motorola.
It's poorly choreographed, but ideologically it's a kind of sinkhole into hell. I don't understand why Leo agreed to act in this.

It's a great movie, but it will obviously have a preconceived opinion from Russia. First of all, the trailer is a pregnant Black woman with a machine gun - that is, minus 2 points immediately for the summons. Then the beginning of the film, some revolutionaries are running around blowing everything up and kind of showing them positively, like blah blah, we quickly remember what is happening in Russia and what attitude to this or that terror. And that's another 2 minutes points.

We already have a maximum of 6 out of 10 due to bias.

But you have to understand that the movie was made for Americans, it's literally their topic right now, migration, anti-migration, etc. It's far from alienating for us.

You should also understand that Paul Thomas Anderson is not only in this film, but in almost all films about some kind of degraders. Whether it's Oil, but there's a hit on the hero, although the person is an egocentric psychopath, and we like him, whether it's a Master, but the hero is also liked by us, although the hero is also an alcoholic psychopath. joined a sect.
Innate Vice is also an incomprehensible film starring ukurysh. Do you understand the message? Boogie nights about porn lovers, knock-down love about another weird guy.

In short, Paul Thomas Anderson does not change himself and makes films about people who have everything wrong with their heads.

So just enjoy a good movie, because it's literally the same gorgeous Anderson style, with great acting and staging.

Don't look for any meaning or logic, just get high from a good movie, don't get hung up on the morality of the characters. Leonardo DiCaprio played just incredibly cool.

9 out of 10

I rather liked it than not. Incomprehensible revolutionaries, it is unclear what they stand for... more precisely, against what (against everything bad, for everything good — something like that). They are so vocal that they forget about what they live for. It's not even clear what's more — either adrenaline or real benefits. Similar opponents are for all that is good, but against all that is bad. They also have their own "secret communities", reviews, and passwords. It's just that these people now live in skyscrapers, and those in basements (but with telephone support). Well, somewhere aside are the Mexicans, who don't seem to play a special role, but again all the problems fall on them. Well, yes, a stoned and drunk paranoid man with a daughter who would like to move away from this and live in peace.

And if you put all this aside (have you at least watched what the original book is about and how could it be transferred to the screens?), then it turns out to be a very good movie. Dynamic, driving, with different intertwining plots... Yes, for one tag with "a stoned former revolutionary is trying to remember the password", you can already safely score points.

I shouldn't have been led to HYPE. the most miserable movie. absolutely all the characters are some kind of nasty bastards in a completely bastard plot. At first it seemed that this was just a summons from a director who was addicted to drugs under the bridge, but it seems that this is "how the artist sees it." once upon a time, in the days of the free Internet, I saw a video where an old cellulite fat woman took a shit in the basin, then she ate it and vomited, and then she ate and vomited this burp again, and so many times, clearly showing what five times digested feces are. here the artistic value of this kints is comparable to that video. even the actors show how they squeeze out the filthiness of the characters, rather than playing a role. It would be a shame for DiCaprio if they also gave him an Oscar for this.

Black or black-loving "Revolutionaries from Twitter" run around robbing and killing bad white people in the name of freedom, who do not leave a single bruise on them when they are detained, check their health by passing a full check, and then settle in fairly comfortable conditions. The only good thing was that he played well
Benicio del Toro
3.5/10 Unfortunately, the "humor and dark absurdity" promised by many viewers was not detected

DiCaprio is still good (but why have you aged?).

Well, the movie... It's for Americans. Few people are interested in their inner turmoil. It was shot, like many recent films, to rock their society inside. It's even a pity that Leo starred in this political shit.

"Time does not exist, and yet we are all at its mercy."

Only time will tell if "Battle after Battle" is really a great movie. But this is definitely a fascinating film that is not boring to watch for the last hour and a half, and discuss afterwards.
It is also a very accurate historical document that captures the spirit of the turbulent twenties.
Such insight and sensitivity are perhaps only available to truly gifted authors. And especially valuable in this regard is the peaceful, generally compromise position of the director, who calls not to live in the past anymore, but to look to the future.… Let there be another battle waiting for us there, for sure.

And I liked it, although at first I was skeptical, but then ... as if mesmerized, I buried my face in the monitor, delight 🤩
Besides Leo (this is the first time I've seen such a clumsy revolutionary)I would like to mention Penn's performance - I was very surprised)
And this peerless dance in front of the cops performed by Del Toro is simply a masterpiece.)

Almost from the very beginning, I hoped that they would all kill each other, but no luck. However, the film is very lively, flew by unnoticed.

Well, what can I say - the film turned out to be just normal. Not an ideal or a masterpiece, but just a strong movie. It was shot with high quality, the picture is pleasant, it is clear that no money was spared.
​The plot is simple, but cheerfully presented. I was surprised that the movie runs for more than two hours, but it doesn't suffocate at all. It looked easy, I didn't look at the clock, I didn't have to be bored.
​The only thing I haven't redeemed at all is the Oscar talk for DiCaprio. 🤷♂️ Many people are predicting a statuette for him, but I look at it and don't understand why. No, he played well, but this is his usual role. I didn't see anything outstanding there, it's just that Leo does his job well.
​In short, it's a decent option for the evening. It's definitely worth a look for the dynamics and the actors 👌

I didn't like the movie, Sean Penn is fantastic, although I usually drop films with him, I expected one thing, I found another.

So far, the film that has made the most impression this year.

The film is ideologized. It is interesting primarily in terms of reflecting the ideology of a part of modern American society in cinema... The actors' acting and so on, it's all in the second and next stages.

Leo, remember your password better next time - the movie could have been half an hour shorter.

The actors played well, but the film itself doesn't touch anything, maybe if I were an American, I wouldn't be bored and yelled with satire and would have put 5, but only 3. Also, the soundtrack is infuriating.

It was an empty movie, everything was made of cardboard, Leo seemed out of place, they tried to crush everyone with advertising, but the film was too weak even for such media support

It's really good, I'm fine.

"Battle after Battle" by Paul Thomas Anderson won the best feature film at the Gotham Awards, which begins the award season.

It's a watchable movie, and Leo's acting is as good as ever. But there are so many questions for the creators: why should racial discrimination be intertwined again? Everyone has had enough of this oppression of people of color. And how can you empathize with these radical terrorists who behave like savages? All the Latinos are digging catacombs, everyone is always on the run. What kind of nonsense is this? And only all whites are moral freaks, Nazis, or like the main character, junkies. Absolutely all the characters are disgusting. Even Villa, by the end of the film, turns from an exemplary excellent student into a stupid revolutionary. Why? For what?
The film doesn't have any kind of message. Except that it fuels the hostility of different races towards each other.
The main character does not affect the plot in any way. He's just looking for his daughter, who eventually scattered all the enemies and found herself.
Of course, after the events of the film, the authorities have no questions for the main character and his daughter. Just think, hijackings, mountains of corpses, participation in radical groups. That's why the security forces initially interrogated everyone at school. But now, everyone has forgotten everything.
In general, the scenario is clearly weak. At the level of an offended African-American schoolboy.

Paul Thomas Anderson's new film ("Magnolia", "Oil", "The Master") is a clear contender for the Oscar. This does not mean by default that the movie is good or bad. Just a statement of fact. This kind of thing comes across very strongly to academics. And it is highly likely that he will be nominated not in one (best film), not in three (best director, best adapted screenplay - the film is based, albeit very loosely, on Thomas Pynchon's novel "Vineland") and not even in five categories (best actor - DiCaprio, best supporting actor - Sean Penn). The editing, the sound, and the camera work are all very cool. Well, Anderson will definitely reap his gilded harvest, unless some sudden mega-competition like Josh Safdie's new work "Marty the Magnificent" intervenes. The list of nominees, however, has not yet been announced, and "Battle by Battle" looks like the king of the mountain this year.

At the same time, I do not exclude that he will not come to someone. Personally, I was worried for the first 20 minutes that I was waiting for 3 hours of slops from a once-great director, however... A considerable amount of time flew by instantly under my malicious giggles.

Let's just say that I expected absolutely certain things from the trailer (which are discussed below), but almost the entire prologue (a good half hour of tape) left the impression that the film was shot by order of the "left" wing. Valiant black fighters are revolutionizing against the fascist (and what else?!) white regime that tyrannizes migrants. And everything like that. Moreover, all this happens in a kind of timelessness, hinting that "war, war never changes." Yes, they showed me an iPhone a couple of times, but the book talked about the sixties and eighties, and Anderson actually shot some alternative seventies in terms of pictures and music.

However, pretty quickly - by the standards of Anderson, who likes to do big things - everything came to what was promised to me in the commercial. Morons on one side are fighting morons on the other side. Moreover, very often, minimally meeting with each other (DiCaprio and Penn were in the same frame only once) and killing themselves about funny and not very coincidences. As you can see, this is a painting in the spirit of the Cohen brothers! That's exactly what I've been waiting for. If you like "Fargo", "Old People don't belong here" (yes, not really a comedy, but stylistically similar) and especially "Burn After reading", this is your stop.

"Battle after Battle" both shakes up and mixes several genres within itself. There is a place for drama here, both global (the draconian methods of the White House and the eternal struggle against them of the next batch of humiliated and insulted of any skin color) and personal ("fathers and children", in which the daughter pays in full growth for the sins of the youth of the "fathers"). But at the same time, the drama is presented quite easily and without kinks. Despite the number of deaths in the frame and behind the scenes.

There is a place of black comedy here. Anderson has wanted to work with DiCaprio for thirty years, ever since Boogie Nights, but DiCaprio chose Titanic and periodically still says he regrets his choice. Anyway, Anderson finally found the most suitable project for the actor. We all know that DiCaprio is especially good when he shows the comedic side of his talent and then he has a place to disperse, while maintaining the opportunity to show the vulnerability, naivety and infantilism of the main character. At the same time, Anderson sympathizes with the resistance and sneers at it (the local revolutionaries are not all crazy, frankly) or laughs at the problem of migration (the Latin American sensei, who, of course, has a crowd of relatives and underground tunnels. Beniso Del Toro is as beautiful as ever). Anderson exaggerates the hellish nature of the American government. There are shadowy elite communities with their own ultra-right code and frankly moronic name, which every self-respecting high-ranking military man strives to get into. And then Sean Penn comes on the scene (without touching on his personality in life), who performed for all the money. This is such a terminator-galustyan, at the same time tough and insecure. It's not even a joke about Galustyan. The manners are very similar. At the same time, Penn does not slip into outright caricature. A soldier wants recognition from everyone, but he doesn't get it anywhere, and when cornered, he turns into a wild beast ready to devour anyone in his path.

And yes, this is, if I'm not mistaken, Anderson's first such driving film. In the genre, many people indicate "action movie", well, partly yes. The final chase is in the best traditions of the chases from the action films of the seventies, a la "French messenger" or "Detective Bullitt".

For American cinema, Anderson made a film that is both relevant and eternal- until communism comes, haha.

I am not as enthusiastic as the Western press, but, in general, I recommend it. Endure the beginning with all this "black/girl power", and the picture will reveal itself in all its glory. Well, keep in mind that the novel was a postmodern gizmo, although Anderson smoothed out many corners, focusing mainly on the father-daughter line, there is a large amount of absurdity in all this. Again, I've been waiting for this, and I got it.

I don't know who calls it a movie, I watched 20 minutes and this terrible vomit is just a nightmare. According to the description, black humor / action/ action-packed - I didn't see any of this, but all the time it was just about horny sex, every scene is either about sex or about jerking off.

It's rare. But not in the first one. The film is rated lower on Kinopoisk than on IMDB. Usually, the opposite is true, the domestic audience, who is not used to the abundance of good movies, overestimates what reaches the masses. Example: I recently watched "The Sound of Freedom" - a very average movie, on a serious topic, half of the plot is fictional, but stated as "based on real events." As a result, the average movie gets a score of 8.1 and lachrymose reviews.
As for the "Battle after Battle". I wouldn't be surprised if the film wins an Oscar this year. The film keeps up to pace for 2.5 hours. The soundtrack is a separate pleasure that does not allow you to be distracted by your phone, even for a minute. Sean Penn, DiCaprio, Del Toro are already so grown up, like parents, but their game is so nice to watch. I am very glad that there are still directors making such films. The second rapture of the year, after Frankenstein

For me, it's a colorful example of some kind of crazy overrate (It's not witty, not spectacular, and not too opportunistic. Of course, I'm sorry, but Penn frankly squeezed his role, it's not grotesque, it's overplaying (too much attention to facial expressions, gait and other related things, and it already resembles a drama, not an Oscar bid). The director openly mocks the right, the left, the gray-furmaline, but at the same time he makes it outrageously boring. All this is laced with some kind of ponderous anachronism and bloated timekeeping. DiCaprio is doing well here, but there is a question: Why is he doing well here?

A strange movie came out, what a fuss it is incomprehensible, moreover, it is interesting that somewhere in the second half of the film the movement begins, especially at the end of the cat-and-mouse chase!
Lately, Leo has been choosing films for himself.

When you start analyzing movies with your head, you're just amazed. 120 million budget, and it looks 3 times cheaper. Almost 3 hours of timekeeping, which has a lot of empty and unnecessary frames. Music that stands out and supports the absurdity on the screen, but the director with a stony face gives out the excitement. Camerawork? Well, if you wanted to rock me on the hills of Mexico, thank you, you did it. A furious bunch of screenwriters who tried to bring all their ideas into the film. What do we hear? A moronic leftist agenda? And let's show these wrestlers as degenerates, terrorists and infantilists? Said, done, the left farts are blown up. And let's give a shit to the right? Let's take an ultra-Nazi, a white heterosexual man in his late fifties, a military man. But which one will flow from a black slut? Great, the right flank is undermined. Can we stop there? Nah, we're not slowing down. And let's show a revolutionary shot down by a pilot. How did he sink in, but continue to be paranoid in the old-fashioned way? Super! We'll give Leo 20 more cartoons to run around in his bathrobe. Let's take another look at the relationship of fathers and children, not the one who gave birth, but who raised them. We'll also raise the issue of migrants. It will show them one-sidedly for some reason. Showing unity, but forgetting about crime, drugs and other offenses. Aah, we'll also show comical escapades and moral bullies. The film really looks like a kaleidoscope of ideas from a smoky company. But perhaps the ending will put the puzzle together? Horseradish swam there. A careless dad who was puffy and stoned and didn't really take part in saving his daughter is now a beloved dad. Was he being paranoid? Now she lets her daughter go on business. A crazy mother? Let's forgive you for 16 years of absence just because of one letter. Well, at the age of 16, we'll go make a revolution in a cool raincoat. On a credit hatchback. That's probably how Twitter wrestlers imagine everything in their heads. And I want to end it all with a famous quote: to be honest, I'm sorry for the time I've spent, I've digested calla lilies five times.

The movie is about how a chick cheated on her boyfriend and he raised someone else's child.

The ass is normal.. In the end, all the running around is because of her..

The author probably wanted to walk a cynical roller rink on both sides of the conflict. I understand it. I accept that. And I would respect the position of non-interference... If there was one.
Why Sean Penn was the only one who had to take responsibility for his actions has remained a mystery to me. Just a little more and the Unabomber will start to be justified.

A terribly overrated movie, in order for at least something interesting to start, you still have to survive the first hour of the movie, but that's okay. Separately, I would like to highlight the musical accompaniment, how bastard it is. Seriously, I've never been so annoyed by the soundtrack in any movie before as I am here.

The top movie in terms of shit and mat content for every moment of the movie.

The movie is just dumb modern game. I knocked out at the moment where a black pregnant sheep with a belly was fucking with a machine gun.
Don't waste your time on this heresy…

Movies change people. Before this movie, I was a liberal.

Such.

Lyova, Benya and Senya are pulling, my daughter is also trying.

The topicality is not ours, we cannot understand it.

But.

Viva la revolucion!

The first half hour was just terrible. I even had a thought to turn it off. It was stopped by the presence of Leo and Sean Penn. Although he is very strange in his views and statements, he is an excellent actor. And he was just great in this movie. Leonardo DiCaprio got so used to the role here, I just believed that he was a bloated, neglected drunk and drug addict. How he ran for half a movie in that robe and puffed - it just looked so natural. Benicio Del Torro is simply gorgeous here. He doesn't say much, but he acts quickly and decisively, a real macho man. And you can see how both the actor and his character are enjoying everything that is happening. How he stood on tiptoe when the police stopped him, and how he took things out from under the bed. You have to see it)))
The second half hour reconciled me to reality, and after an hour it was impossible to tear myself away at all.
The film is very specific, but I liked it. Great humor, jokes are all appropriate and very funny. As much as they move, as much as they talk, these long attempts to remember the password are such a cool parody of all these rebel organizations that sometimes forget about their goals and turn into bureaucratic entities that they are fighting against. The last chase through the hills is generally keeping me in suspense, I was worried about this girl as if she were my own already.
Overall, I enjoyed watching it.

Overall, the film has excellent acting. Especially Penn. Chase Infinity - baldezhnaya
The endless (almost) soundtrack is also pleasing, well, it's such nonsense, but it's even so good. Yes, and everything was shot perfectly.
But in the beginning, it was a bit exhausting..
As it is, it's a completely normal movie!

Some kind of arthouse) not really gone) 3/5

The film of the great director is very majestic. All from the series "Explanation of the ending". For selected caretakers. I couldn't watch it to the end, it was too grand. Leonardo DiCaprio plays greatness at altitude. It's decent. I was not very impressed with the dignity of Sean Penn, which had to be placed in the film. The main character's swollen belly looked just as majestic, which had to be fully reflected on the screen in all its glory. Benicio Del Toro will also appear in the film. This is probably one of the main signs of this film that it will definitely be at the Oscars. But I couldn't finish watching these episodes, I ran out of patience.

A drop in 10 minutes is a lot

The composer of this film should not be allowed near the instrument at all. His piano performances only cause migraines.

That's a piece of shit. Probably DiCaprio's worst movie. Almost 3 hours of shit. Has anyone mastered it at all?

Overall, it's worth a look. But we often felt Spanish shame while watching it.

Just for once. the whole plot is only at the very end of the movie. from the beginning and almost to the end, I wanted to turn it off.

Rare shit. I think it's the worst movie of all time.

I love DiCaprio movies, but this one caused very mixed feelings, perhaps for an amateur, but definitely not for me, so it's more not worth watching than watching...

We have plenty of pictures about ultra-right nationalists, now it's the turn of ultra-left anarchist internationalists, although there is a place for some Christmas adventurers (a sect for the white race), but for the most part it's about the right-wing conservative government, which is trying to control the border, and about those who advocate open borders. And for me, this is the simplest work of Paul Anderson, here he methodically hypnotizes us on a mega-scale in his style, turning each segment into a real theater with loud overtures with lively and active characters around events of a municipal nature, from rallies where there are a lot of skaters, fugitives and special services, to bank robberies with chases in an hour rush along busy avenues. And for 2.30 hours, they let us go to different locations, there are no stops, from schools to deserts, along the highway, where there is a successful find with a chase along a winding highway with the logical thought that they are catching up with such suspense that it's time for someone to think to press the gas or brake harder. In general, it's a real attraction with a vision in mind.

And if the movie was as cool as it was when Leo Dee and the revolutionary argued for 15 minutes over a forgotten password, then I would definitely be happier, because there are a lot of advantages combining disadvantages, for example, the aforementioned orchestral sound at some point tires, and the overall chain the plot becomes less important when it is more interesting for the author to show the devil in detail or, conversely, to show a detailed detail, turning it into a kind of demon for his own film, which ruins the concept of a rebellious coup, putting the emphasis disproportionately in the opposite direction from the main one.

There are problems in general with regard to the language Paul chooses to talk to the audience, but for my taste this is his eternal problem, so I've been used to it for a long time, I'll say that he wouldn't be such a powerful author if he didn't have other fundamental advantages, because there's still amazing work by artists, you can write about each one separately, there is also a very well-honed production and everything lives as a single organism with first-class shooting with delicious selections of frames.

What about the first 40 minutes? What kind of horror is this? Well, after the first 40 minutes, it became surprisingly cheerful and a little interesting. The ending is a bit strange, but quite unexpected.

Apparently, Leo and del Toro in the cast are no longer the guarantor of at least a normal movie.

The movie is a complete mess, and suddenly it's racist. It's like the message was supposed to be different, but I didn't even feel it.

Blacks are represented by terrorists and murderers; Mexicans by drug traffickers and illegal migrants; whites are either puppeteers or members of the KKK. The scene in the bank when a black woman threatens people with a gun and says "This is what black power looks like" is more than revealing

Super-weak plot, disgusting musical accompaniment and absolutely uninteresting characters. It turns out that the director of this movie once shot "Oil", just an incredible contrast between the two films in terms of quality.

I have no idea where the movie got ratings of 7 and above on different platforms.

Mb, of course, I did not understand the full depth of this picture, but this is a rare case when it is probably better not to understand

Just recently, videos began to appear that DiCaprio chooses films very carefully for himself. But this is a very rare G. Why do I arise? Because there's a lot of noise and I'm already anticipating Oscar nominations, or even statuettes for this film.

There was only one moment I liked in the movie: falling off the roof, just screamed.

The movie looks easy and addictive, because it's important to find out where everything will lead. But there is no special delight or positive vivid impression from him. Yes, Leo is interesting to watch in any role. Otherwise, the semantic content somehow passed me by, none of the characters aroused sympathy, so I can't fully count the sympathy of the authors either. Do they have an unobtrusive condemnation of everyone or just the military and big shots? Because the opposing side, with their goals and methods, is also like that. And what a scoundrel (and outwardly disgusting) mother of the main character, she just infuriated every second on the screen. In general, I don't understand the complicated impressions of the cinema, the general praise. The final aftertaste is probably irritation. Although ... maybe this is the strength of the film, that I want to say about it, albeit with irritation.)

Overall, the film turned out to be quite good. I liked the acting: DiCaprio is great as always, Sean Penn is also very good, and Benicio Del Toro is generally the jewel of this film. But I didn't really understand what the point of this whole story was, and for whom it was filmed. To understand this, I watched a whole video essay, which talked about how brilliantly it was shot and what cool camera solutions there are with close-ups of faces. That the whole movie is a non–stop action: The characters are constantly in motion, and the music emphasizes this, so the viewer is involved in the process. as a result, I realized how good this movie is from a technical point of view. But I haven't changed my mind about the plot. I expected more from the film, and it seems to me that the talents of the actors involved could have been spent on something better.

It's a pretty boring movie packed with a story. It's like he's parodying a good half of the directors, but he's only parodying....

I didn't understand the rave reviews of KP and IMDb's green zone, except for a couple of funny moments, a beautiful picture and a gorgeous acting game- there's nothing to praise.

The movie was so fast so i didn’t even realise what’s going on…

I read and I can't get enough of it, well, how bad the Masonic discourse is for the people, how it doesn't work, ahaha! "The first half is still normal, but the second half is completely absurd, it's not clear"

The unintelligent are unable to understand what they are being shown and why on imdb 7.8
What kind of leftists are they? What is the story about the Russian Empire? What kind of gadgets are on the seals of the terrorists from the lodge, oh, that is, the French85 trade union?

NOT A DAMN THING! Well, they can't! Conspiracy theories!

You know, friends, I didn't feel very positive after watching this movie, and to be honest, I don't understand why this particular movie was nominated for so many Oscar nominations.
1. The main storyline (the revolutionary movement) in its initial and intermediate stages seems to be preserved. And this is the only thing that is more or less revealed in this film, because before watching it, I could not even imagine how wide the extensive network of the revolutionary movement based on illegal migration could be (I'm not saying that the film is a dogma, but everything looks real and, in principle, There is no desire to double-check this during the course of the film!
2. The second storyline (the lives of both leaders of this movement) is revealed only at the beginning of his subversive activities against the state. And then? What is the tragedy of his story? Smoking weed and drinking alcohol, doing dumb somersaults, while being chased? Neither DiCaprio talks about his love for the revolutionary movement and his companion, nor Teyana Taylor talks about her thoughts (remorse) about her betrayal of the general revolutionary movement, separation from her daughter.
As a result, the drama of the main characters is not revealed.
3. Sean Penn.... What can I say, a man in better shape than I am at my age! But not in his best role. Everything is clear here - the sunset of his career is like that!
4. Everything else is primitive. There are no supporting actors playing at all.
Bottom line: a one-time movie, a loss of interest in DiCaprio as an actor. I bow low to Sean Penn, as well as to our Gazmanov, for the example of how you can take care of your health at their age!

You'd better watch Eden with Jed Lowe again! There is more drama in killing a donkey or ruining stocks of stew than in trying to protect the child of the leaders of the revolutionary movement! Junk!!!! I'm writing and I'm angry at the movie, at the actors, at the directors, and at myself for wasting my time on this worthlessness!

The film is a mockery of resistance.
The propaganda is outspoken: "If you want to fight the US government, then you're a horny idiot drug addict."
Idiotic cheerful music, exaggerated idiocy and the sexuality of the main characters requiring the intervention of a psychiatrist.
It's unclear why DiCaprio is nominated for awards, he did a great job - he got the most out of the role, but the role itself is limited.

I've seen a lot of bad reviews for this movie, I really didn't expect anything from it.
I do not agree that it is delayed, the development of events is happening quite quickly, 2.5 hours flew by unnoticed for me, it was interesting to watch what was happening. The goals of the Revolution are quite clear - they are against migration policy, they are radical and wanted to help migrants.
And the daughter eventually followed in her mother's footsteps, which is sad, because they had already seen what it all led to (
Teyana Taylor was very little in the frame. I love her and I'm glad that she won the award, but it's strange that for this role. The cast is generally well chosen here.

Funny shit, DEE is playing a weak man... That's the key to movie success, Wright Nau. But for some reason, there are fewer children where the girls seem strong. Fink ebaut it

DiCaprio was having a lot of fun here, and that password is hilarious.
In general, the whole film feels like a parody of any revolutionary movements, conspiracies and other movements. Fuss for the sake of fuss, some kind of running around, a waste of energy, but what's what - it's not clear.
But in the end, the movie just got tired.

There was no opportunity to showcase your body in all its glory, as in the movie Gunman, but even so it's clear that Sean Penn's physical form is just a bomb.

I honestly liked it, Bob's mats are a real art. and the musical accompaniment seemed cool, especially the piano during the nervous scenes. I also can't help but mention the beautiful girls in the cast, I've noticed more than once while watching that I'm just openly staring.

The movie, full of shit, Leo should get an Oscar for deciding to star in it. It's not a movie, it's just some kind of garbage, boring, very boring. Separately, I would like to mention the musical design in the form of background vomit, which is additionally annoying.

My compliments 🤌

(a little too long)

It's a great entertaining movie, as if Nolan was mixed up with Tarantino. In the beginning, you need to be patient and understand that this is more of a comedy than something serious. The soundtrack makes half the film, it keeps you in suspense all the time, it just plays good music, does its job 100%. In short, PTAH finally got an author's blockbuster, congratulations on that. I wonder what will happen next.
