One Battle After Another Review | After the Sino was over, I thought about it for a long time

A line is used to explain the movie—“Larger than Life”. But movies show a surreal world, which is real but transcends reality. Larger than life can be interpreted in several ways.

First, movies are shown on a big screen that magnifies everything, brings it up close, and shows every detail.
Second, the characters in the movie are superhuman—some are strong, some love passionately, some are so bad that they end up dying.
Third, movies often show worlds that don’t exist—history-based fantasy worlds, superhero worlds, etc.

People watch movies to forget the routine of real life for a while. If the movie can’t give that thrill, that emotion, why will people watch the movie?

One Battle After Another is a thrill ride that engages from the very first minute. Sometimes action, sometimes emotion, sometimes confusion and frustration culminate. Going beyond the shiny side of America that is shown in Hollywood movies, the reality of far-left struggles, sometimes far-right secret clubs, and sometimes Immigration and Sanctuary cities is also shown here.

The movie shows an ex-revolutionary living with his daughter in a Sanctuary City, off the GRID, in a form of anonymity. Suspicious thoughts are always in his mind, intoxicated is his life. Meanwhile, when his former enemy resurfaces and his daughter suddenly disappears, the decaying revolutionary sets out to find his daughter again. The spread of movies is about the struggle between father and daughter.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays the father in the movie. He gives his best in the role of a drug addict and a suspicious father. Sean Penn also surpasses Caprio as the villain—many say it’s the best role of Sean Penn’s career. Benicio Del Toro was great in one particular role.

I have never seen such a thrill ride from the first minute of the movie in any recent movie. Actions are epic and epicReal and authentic at the same time it feels brand new. Locations are rarely seen in traditional Hollywood movies. The filming of Sanctuary City was amazing.

One Battle After Another is not quite a political thriller, but it is clearly a political statement. On one side is shown the far-left revolution, on the other the far-right powerful secret club. In the midst of this, the story of Immigration and Sanctuary cities is important. In the current Trump era, when anti-immigration sentiment is on the rise, this movie will feel like a lot of activism.

After all, a good movie leaves a mark on the mind—remains, and provides food for thought. One Battle After Another is just such a movie—which gives non-stop thrills, stirs emotions, on the one hand, you will think about it for a long time even after it is over.
