Oh, it's also from a Pynchon novel lmao. I went in this s*** as blind as I could. Ah, okay I f*** with that.

Loosely, the novel is about the Raegan era and what makes this so good is how it captures our period. feels like a period piece about the 2020s made from the future.

Like present message with a lot of 70's/80's, lotta hippie culture going on. I kept thinking Shasta Fay Hepworth could be just around the corner in this. It was that typa universe

baby Charlene to Willa jump almost had me crying the first time.

Especially cuz of the needle drop

Obviously a thousand things I wanna be able to just rewatch at my pleasure but for some reason a big one is that moment. The time jump, dirty work, the karate syncing with the music, slowly fading to Bob talking to Willa’s teacher. Virtuosic

Man perfidia is such an interesting unresolved character

Euphoria

Thank you

Heading in for round 2

Holy s*** @Hamington

What was the working title for this?

had no idea that Sean penn was in talks to be in inherent vice wonder if he wouldve been wolfmann

“The battle of baktan cross” lol

That s*** kinda weak OBAA seems more universal or cosmic in a way

Movie is everything

The drums on the song Baby Charlene off the score, the music that played when she was born, are the same drums that play during the highway chase at the end. Haven’t seen anyone mention this

Clever little way of musically tying into the movies themes. She’s always been on the run, it was always gonna end the way it did, lineage, nature, one battle after another, ocean waves

Yea kinda surprised she never popped back up in the movie

Was expecting a full on happy ever after ending where she pops back up and knocks on the door

But I suppose the letter worked too

Radicalized Frankenstein.

If anything I feel like he would have been Eric Roberts character
