All Star
The movie had some absolutely great performances & the pacing was outstanding. For what was basically a 2 hr 45 min film, every minute was used very effectively. It really executed the themes that it was going for very well with some outstanding direction. 9/10, I would say.
We constantly see how ironically similar the revolution and the military side are. A bit of interesting satire was used when Bob kept getting asked for "What time is it?" While yes, being secure and safe is important, you forget what you are fighting for. Basically they want to change the world for the thrill and how good it will feel. Not for what it will actually do and help the future children of society.
Leo really performed Bob Ferguson well. He was basically a pathetic single father. He doesn't really develop in the film because he barely has his shyt together. Furthermore, he is barely surviving taking care of his daughter, where in one scene it feels like the daughter is looking after him. I liked that he wasn't the hero to save his daughter at the end because that would feel too sudden of a turn. Through all the mention of codes, her daughter trusted him at the end even if he isn't her blood related daughter.
Sean Penn killed it, as many said here. He is the perfect definition of being consumed by lust. Essentially going after Perfidia. Willing to kill his daughter to secure his place. I loved how not even for a second he could be redeemable. In contrast, Perfidia isn't too far because there is a lot of hyporcisy in what she says. She mentions it's all for the revolution, but it's mostly bullshyt. When the baby is born, there is the mention of being jealous of the attention Bob gives the baby.
Then she easily rats out the others, and it is like, was it really about the revolution? Or was the revolution that gave her a thrill? I think she is an interesting and decisive character, but, man, she really is a PoS. The letter I got mixed feelings about. Could Bob have written that to give Willa peace of mind? Could she truly regret it after all this time? Hard to say. Willa does follow in her footsteps, which I am not sure what to think of. I can only hope that Bob can give her the insight of how important family is. Using Sergioas an example, even with all the shyt going on, he has his family all sorted, unlike with Perfidia. He also is aware of what Bob is going through, so hopefully Willa can be more like him, not her mom. I think it highlights an important theme of how a revolution starts at home.
James Raterman really killed it in his time. Talk about truly being intimidating when questioning and how to put people on the spot. He played his character really well there.
