Wood Harris is in the trailer.
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Hell yeah I watch hours of football. I can't go to the movies and watch the games AND attend my kids games at the same time.

Tempted to go tonight to the early screening. If not I'll wait for Saturday.
That is my top 3
Wood Harris is in the film. I’m not sure how big his role is but he’s in the trailer.
It must be tiny because ive seen two trailers and dont remember him
In the first trailer towards the end he’s got like a second where he can be seen leading a protest.
He’s not billed amongst the leads and nobody whose reviewed the film mentions him so its probably a cameo.

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.
Shoutout to my local theater I watched Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love in 35mm.

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 .

I felt uneasy with a lot of the cop scenes and the white supremacist group
-rolling out Beverly Hills on the wheelchair and the cops harassing her.
-Cop shooting ole girl in the grocery store
-white supremacist describing a mixed race child
-“Sounds like a black girl name” “I love black girls “

Things I enjoyed
-Junglep*ssy letting the gun go off while in the passenger seat of the car
-Bob falling off the cliff
-Sensei requesting a selfie
-Old ladies scolding Bob that he doesn’t know real revolutionary leader.
- Sensei babying Bob. Get off your phone, I will get you a gun, and put the beer down. Also Bob responses to them.
-Wood Harris in a burning building with a gas mask still shooting fire back at cops.
-Deandra (Regina Hall) in a bandana witnessing/concerned for her group mates from the nuns to freedom fighters.

Eddington Comparison
-Obviously this would make for a good double feature in today’s climate.
Similarities……..(These are surface level until I get a rewatch of OBAA)
-desert/small town setting
-Child deserted by mother and born out of sexual assault (allegedly)
-Teenager challenging police
-Cac cop saddened that they won’t be getting womanly affection correlates to the abuse of power.
-Protest scene

I hate to here PTA did test screenings I wished he didn’t because I would love to see his full vision.
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.
