    The one thing I didn’t understand about Lockjaw was why did he even want to be part of the elite whites?? Was it purely to feel superior like they said?? Like genuinely who were they and what was the great honour of joining them when he clearly didn’t agree with the s\*\*\* they did? Was it kind of an in-joke that all they’d do is give him an office and they actually DONT do anything special?? But then why the racism??

    It reminded me a lot of Mark Zuckerberg's obsession in The Social Network to get in that college "final club", is the same motivation: they both feel that it gives them status "they're exclusive. And they lead to a better life"

    Feels like this could be Wolf of Wall Street for leftists where the depiction of the revolutionaries turns out to be interpreted as much more aspirational than what is maybe intended. I don't think the film is very kind in what it has to say about an organization like the French 75\. I think Sensei's revolution that prioritizes protecting the marginalized and community is what the film really holds in high regard.

    i see your point, i do think there is a big difference tho. The pop and sugar of WoW is the bad behavior. Here the opening f75 stuff while good is brief and instantly has ramifications that color the movie. A film about perfidia may be a closer comp. The Eddie Van Halen scene and to a lesser extent perfidia are clearly depicted as crisis actors and the hospital scene shows on the ground revolutionary action. Plus this movie is much more didactic than WoW, I think if it was leftist heat w ambiguous morality it would be a lot easier to sell

    so did teyana taylors character die?

    because of the letter being written from what seemed to be living a life in hiding without her family, I read it as she’s still out there somewhere

    He was so great. Also we have to acknowledge how f***ing hilarious it is that PTA used Jungle P****s IRL stage name.

    "I had to save a French 75er twice in one day" or whatever the exact quote was says it all imo

    Sean Penn is for sure getting the supporting actor push and deservedly so but it's hard to overstate just how good Benicio del Toro was in this

    And PTA did say that del Toro was the one who suggested a lot of the stuff his character ended up doing, such as the underground railroad and having connections with the lawyer and the nurse which makes his performance even cooler

    Crazy timing.... Teyana's character made me think about Assata a lot last night. Had to be inspired by her

    Omg something I just remembered that I was mega confused / impressed by lmao leo falling from the building????? It happened, and I was like holy s\*\*\*! And then braced myself for a cut— assuming it was a stunt double…. But then the scene keeps rolling super seamlessly and Leo enters the light lmao?? How the f\*\*\* did they get that shot?

    Man I like the stuff coming out of the Asters and Lanthimoses, Eggers, Creggers, Peeles, and some others in this new crop of Hollywood directors

    But the old guard legend PTA just dropped the full weight of his nutsack all over the industry with this one. Just a higher level of filmmaking

    I saw it in Dolby and it is LOUD in a great way

    glad I did the picture looked great too (since I can’t get vista or 70mm)

    I was incorrect! And am seeing this in laser :(

    I think Teyana really has a shot at that Oscar. People will talk about her lack of screen time but she’s unequivocally the main character for the first act of the film. That’s gotta count for something.

    I really hope so. My highlight.
