One Battle After Another is the best movie of the decade, so far. In fact, there were points while watching it that I found myself comparing it to The Godfather in terms of it potentially becoming a cultural touchstone for decades to come.
But there’s a big problem — it’s seems inevitable that it will get sucked into the culture wars. Now, obviously, in the short term such controversy may help its box office. In the long term, however, I worry about it becoming cultural contraband if Trump goes full tyrant as it seems he is headed at the moment.
So, I guess enjoy it while you can?
The interesting thing about the movie to me was how it managed to be progressive without being “woke.” It was just a really good movie.
