I had to turn off my "militancy" as Leo just does good flicks, so just annoyed especially with the mixed race child BW/WM leading some "Revolution" shyt even though the trailers made it seem like some satire lol but like I said I support Leo so I toned that stuff out and expect a good movie based on the feedback.
I enjoyed the film in IMAX last night. I was kind of not fully engaged since late in the night for my screening. A lot of my post are half baked.
Leo’s last 3 movies he has played a doofus crybaby cac. I have a trilogy now.
I enjoyed the scene with Sensei Carlos and Bob. I noticed up the Bob is commentary about white privilege because how are you some freedom fighter whose complaining to the upper level “management” like a fukking Karen. Harassing the person on the call like your trying return a fridge or cancel a payment. It’s silly since you would still need a verification of your identity to do something as trivial as that. Also the ending kind of got me thinking in the direction since both was just as directionless/fukk-up druggie as the beginning of the film.
Why was Bob not greeting anybody in the Sensei home?
I loved this sequence where he meets Sensei cause you see how Sensei coordinates rendezvous and rally his “troops” into battle , provides resources for the community , and make sure helpless are brought into safety. The juxtapose between this scene and Bob on the phone is hilarious since Sensei is using a coded way of communication (Spanish). If Bob had any self-awareness or empathy he could finally understand the need of the “passcode”. Also the scenes support Different methods between radical group like French75 and local community group (Sensei)
Sensei shows a chill demeanor and PTA treats the scenes like it’s another day for Sensei instead of him being a big theatrical character who serves Bob story.
The score from when Bobs house is raided until He meets Sensei a second time at the hospital. Is peak
Again this was a standout/Highlight sequence of scenes .
Shoutout to my local theater I watched Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love in 35mm.
Harris was kinda just there and that’s my one minor complaint. Was hoping for a standout moment from breh ala Molina in Boogie Nights or the way Christopher Evan Welch held his own against PSH in The Master.

It's very loosely based on a novel by Thomas Pynchon, Vineland. Which is basically about revolutionary hippies in the 1960s who do a bunch of wild shyt before the feds resume hunting them in the 1980s. The director has said he ultimately did his own thing instead of directly adapting it, but just based off the trailers there are similarities (the daughter, karate, etc). Those characters are white in the novel. So this isn't some statement on black revolution as much as it's a modern take on an aged revolutionary and his daughter being hunted for shyt he did in the past. Looks like they simply removed the hippies, rock n roll, and drug sales from the novel and replaced it with black power stuff.
