It’s overrated Dem slop about some lib domestic terrorists. I don’t even know why it costs so much to make since there aren’t massive set pieces. They probably overpaid for DiCaprio when any generic white actor would have been fine. They could have swapped in JGL or Ryan Gosling for half the price

The Pynchon novel is shitlib/glorifies 60s radicals somewhat but is also kind of absurdist and self-aware. It looks like this guy ported it to the current day and made it a polemic for open borders and brown supremacy. I highly doubt it has the subtlety of the novel since this is a clear attempt at being the Resistance Oscar Bait of Trump 2, which is NOT FUNNY and VERY SERIOUS YOU GUYS.

It's basically tracking the same as Killers of the Flower Moon but on half the budget.

More importantly, I'm not sure a movie like this is a "failure" anymore. Some streamer would've paid $200 million for an Oscar contender starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Is it really a downside if it makes $200 million on top of that internationally?

It’s gonna play in theatres through November with a rerelease around awards season. This is a movie adults will watch at home.

Based on this opening and the expectation that it will generate more buzz than KOTFM, it’s going to make $250-350 from all sources within the next year and have a global box office north of $150 million.

No doubt it would have been a better ROI to make 20 horror movies, but it’s going to finish with global box office between $150-200 million and make another $100 million from rentals/streaming. Plus it will clean up at awards season, guaranteed to be nominated.

And taking a longer view, it really is a great movie that’s very rewatchable and will possibly be considered one of the classics of the Trump era.

I don’t really understand the conservative critique. On the one hand they’re saying that leftist terrorists are running amok IRL and so therefore it’s wrong to make a movie about leftist terrorists running amok.

While the leftists are ostensibly the good guys in the movie (mainly because the rightists are clearly bad guys) a major theme is that the struggle will go on forever and no one can ever break out of the cycle.

Sean Penn was obviously a caricature of an evil white man who also is a WOC loving fag freak (basically EPAH)

but in general yeah both sides were not treated sympathetically. it’s just a dumb and fun movie that was very well done but has no real point

I don’t agree that it’s dumb. I think Benicio Del Toro’s character, literally Sensei, is the key to understanding the whole thing. He’s introduced off camera saying, “you forgot to breathe.” Then he’s a force for calm progress throughout his time on film.

I want to see the Sisters of the Brave Beavers X-rated film. Apparently that’s based on a real life weed convent.
