Just saw this movie and have mixed feelings about it. Like it was shot well and flowed flawlessly that it didn't even feel like it was 3 hrs. But it was Leo and Teyanas characters that were jarring
But I enjoyed the movie. Id give it an 8/10
It was like essentially everyone knew the stakes of being a revolutionary and the consequences besides them. Even the daughter took it more serious than Leo. It's like I always say about the performative revolutionary and protesters that are chasing the vibe then anything else. Leo just came off as the mediocre whyte male that doesn't really move the plot forward but is carried through the story by other characters

I honestly think that was the point. In the opening scene, he basically gets sat at the kids table letting off fireworks while everyone else hits the camp, and he's so hopelessly locked into his existence that he misses incredibly obvious shyt. shyt, ultimately complete strangers have more to do with saving Willa than he does. Basically classic case of failing his way into his goals.
He was unintentionally hilarious the entire movie

This is the divisive part with PTA films, is how he utilizes characters as a means to move the story forward. Those are great points that you mention and yet…
…this is where I fall into.
Maybe it’s the fact that it was the audacity of some seeing Leo playing this character or people were just expecting Leo to be a different character altogether, but he played the role perfectly. It brings me back to a post Apollo Creed made earlier where he mentioned a lesson should’ve been taught.
Why?
Some things are just what it is.
I don’t feel because it had black characters that we have to intellectualize a film more than it needed to be. If that’s the case damn near everybody has a claim to be offended in this.
Hispanics are just these victims that need to run and help Every race but their own? Del Toro gotta play a stereotype Hispanic stoner?
White women are just a black man’s play thing?
Native Indians get to be called derogatory terms in 2025 and only there to help other races?
White men gotta be these race superior characters? White liberal men gotta be dopey idiots?
Idk this was clearly a movie for entertainment purposes so Willa helping herself and being her own leader doesn’t bother me , the same way Teyana being a loud character and a shytty person doesn’t.

Yea. Good point. Once I sat and thought about it and turned my brain off I gave it an 8/10. But my initial impression from the previews was that it was going to be a bit more than what it actually was lol. I thought it was going to be some serious revolutionary movie. But after watching it I can see it's a hard movie to advertise because it's hard to put it into any particular box. But Leo does a good job playing the mediocre white man.

Yea marketing kinda fukked this and Weapons. Because there wasn’t enough of the actual tone shown, you go in with what they give you lol. It’s a fun movie but they shoulda had way more marketing that played that up. Leo was like a mix of Wolf on Wall Street & Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on a 8ball.Yea. Good point.

The perfect way I describe him is that he's essentially Cheddar Bob from 8 mile lol
Leo slander should not be tolerated imo. Sean was the best fit for this movie, but I would argue that Leo in Django was a way better character.
This was a great film, but I need a re-watch to fully form my thoughts.
