Not about the war, but about cinema and modern USA.

I watched “Battle after Battle” in two sittings and realized that now a simply clearly told story is already an Oscar..

The following is the text in the original language. Brilliant actors, Sean Pen is absolutely brilliant, but the movie itself - without the thirsty vision of the future.

The character of Sean Pena (Oscar) - a military and intelligence officer - is the only structured, understood person in this tragic comedy, as if he just wanted power in the office and peace. No high ideals, no dreams, besides becoming a small boss among great bosses.

The revolutionaries depicted in the film also have no meaningful goals other than the struggle against the abstract system. It’s not a meta, it’s not a death and it’s not a goal - it’s a way of living.

The only one who has a specific meaning among the revolutionaries is DiCaprio’s character, who wants to smoke weed, drink and drink, but his father doesn’t have any wine..

The antagonist and protagonist are connected by sex with one of the revolutionaries who is promoting the revolution..

The nuns start shooting and preparing fighters. Latinos expose their homelands to police raids. Bandits kill one another through moral values.

Everyone is fighting one against another.

That’s why the film is called “Battle after Battle”.

For me, in the twelfth century of the war, this film is about the total inflation of values, the goals and death of the United States and the promise of the world.

Good movie, good story, right sentiments.

Sean Pen is brilliant in this role.
