00:00Hello Dailymotion
00:02Today we're hitting the spoiler-free version of one battle after another.
00:06which came out last Wednesday
00:08You have a version with spoiler
00:10No, sorry, that one is the spoiler version.
00:13Worry about the spoiler version, the spoiler-free one is already out
00:17So, we're going to get to the heart of the matter, we're going to go there, we're going to dissect the film properly.
00:22If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to go see it in the cinema first.
00:27If, on the other hand, you come just after, it's perfect, make yourself comfortable.
00:31There are lots of things to say that are very, very interesting.
00:34So, it came out last Wednesday, we are in 2025, it's September 24, 2025
00:41that it came out in the main cast roles
00:45We have Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infinity
00:48These are the three main key roles that we will follow.
00:51Even though in reality it mainly revolves around Leonardo DiCaprio and Chase
00:56Infinity because Teyana will disappear very quickly, she is there
01:02In fact she is laying a pillar
01:03She puts up a pillar because they are part of a collective called the French 76
01:08Which is basically a very committed revolutionary collective
01:13Who uses C4, Molotov cocktails, etc. to make his voice heard?
01:18Because we are in a universe and in a world
01:20Where being black is a problem
01:24Being Mexican is a problem
01:27Being Latino is a problem
01:29Anyway, clearly in fact there
01:31We are in a kind of dystopia
01:34Where it's just a kind of closed group or club
01:44Old, clichéd, stereotypical, white people
01:49Who are ultra racist, who dominate the world
01:52And who hunt down all racialized people of color
01:57So, they hunt down anyone who is different from them.
01:59There you go, and we're in a world like that.
02:01So, Leonardo DiCaprio is in the activist collective.
02:06He's going to fall in love with Teyana
02:07And they're going to have a child
02:10She clearly has a...
02:15She plays the completely crazy revolutionary very very well.
02:18And the starting point of all this is the staging
02:24Setting up the key elements of the story
02:27Which is a little disturbing
02:29There are some scenes that are really...
02:31Which really disturbed me
02:32The first scene with Sean Payne
02:35Where Teyana forces him to...
02:41To feel good while she robs him
02:43I still have trouble understanding what the scene is for.
02:48If it is only to generate discomfort and create a relationship with the body
02:51Which is very weird, very unhealthy
02:54But hey, after that, there's a kind of love triangle game.
03:00Between DiCaprio, Sean Payne and Teyana who is getting into place
03:04Which is getting more and more unhealthy and more and more bizarre
03:06But hey, we're moving away from that very quickly.
03:09This is the very beginning
03:10And it becomes...
03:12These are small stones that are put in place
03:14To then move on to the heart of the matter
03:16Who is that in this world actually?
03:18Chase Infinity who plays Leonardo DiCaprio's daughter
03:22Will get hunted
03:24Because he is the child of two revolutionaries
03:27And she had reintegrated socially
03:30And he prepared her for all of this
03:32And that's what's very interesting.
03:33Who is very cool
03:34It's that, as I said in the spoiler-free version
03:37We finally have a female teenage character
03:41Who is smart
03:42Who is prepared
03:43Who knows how to fight
03:44Who...
03:45Yeah
03:47Who is full of tricks
03:49Full of...
03:50She knows how to manage
03:51She is badass
03:52She is classy
03:53His moves are very intelligent
03:56Above all
03:56Above all
03:57The part with the car
03:59I really liked it
04:00The brake
04:01She was very, very cleverly brought up
04:03And in all other situations
04:05Yeah
04:06It's really a...
04:08A girl who is trained
04:10Who is...
04:11Who is so much to fight physically
04:13What is trained militarily speaking?
04:15We will say
04:16With revolutionary codes and everything
04:18So it creates a very new character.
04:21And very interesting
04:22Especially at his age
04:24That's what I think
04:25Really has me
04:28Caught on the thing
04:30While usual
04:30We have some slightly stupid teenagers
04:33Or who will perhaps do
04:34One or two good deeds
04:35Then it goes very quickly
04:36Falling into the cliché
04:37We're onto something here.
04:38Quite new I think
04:39This is the first one
04:41Finally it's the second film
04:42From the filmography
04:43By Thomas Anderson
04:44That I discover
04:46The one before that I saw
04:47It was
04:48Punch Drunk Love
04:49So a completely different register
04:50A love story
04:51Very very interesting
04:52But so I encourage you
04:53Go check it out too
04:54We follow a character
04:56Autistic
04:57Who falls in love
04:58And in short
04:59So
05:00Way ahead of his time
05:02We also met him
05:02But it has a vibe
05:03Very special
05:04But I have the impression
05:04That the filmography
05:06I only saw two after
05:07So I can't
05:09I can't
05:10Tell me an expert
05:12By Paul Thomas Anderson
05:13But I have the impression
05:14That his
05:14His signature
05:17And the fact
05:18That he
05:18He has a way
05:20To address relationships
05:21Who is really
05:22His own
05:23I have the impression
05:23That he has
05:24He has a
05:25He has a love
05:26For sociology
05:27And for the
05:28For really
05:29The exchanges
05:30What there is between humans
05:31Interactions
05:32What there is between humans
05:32Because it is
05:33There is a side
05:35In this film
05:36There is a little side
05:37Fantastic
05:39I wouldn't say fantastic.
05:41But more
05:42A little surreal
05:43Maybe from the context
05:45And how do they get on?
05:47And at the same time
05:48There is something
05:48Very real
05:49Very pragmatic
05:50This is a good projection
05:51Actually
05:51From what
05:52Could happen
05:53In
05:53In a few years
05:55Let's admit
05:56So
05:56It is
05:57It's a little
05:59A film projection
06:00Hazard
06:00And I found this
06:02I found this
06:02Very interesting
06:03And very gripping
06:03In any case
06:04I was really into it
06:04Set up
06:07A bit long
06:07To start
06:08But
06:08But maybe
06:09I would say
06:10Necessary
06:11I would say
06:11Necessary
06:11And in fact
06:12The thing that is very
06:13Cool in this movie
06:14It is
06:14We feel the feeling
06:16Of danger
06:17We feel the feeling
06:18To be stalked
06:18We feel the feeling
06:19There is no
06:22One place
06:22Where we feel
06:22Safe
06:23And I think
06:24That's it
06:25The message of the film
06:26And that's it
06:26The force
06:27From this film
06:27It's from
06:29To make us feel
06:31What could live
06:32People being hunted
06:32In the same way
06:33This is very cool
06:35This is very very very cool
06:36I didn't expect
06:37From all to that
06:37I hadn't seen
06:38From trailer
06:39I hadn't seen
06:39From trailer
06:40I just had
06:41Two people
06:42Who told me about it
06:42Spoiler-free
06:43Anything
06:44SO
06:44I went there without
06:46I had no idea
06:47From what I was going to see
06:48And I was not disappointed
06:50At all
06:50At the level of the
06:52From the
06:54Artistic direction
06:55So all that is
06:57At the level of the lights
06:58And effects
06:59There is nothing exceptional
07:00Nothing notable
07:01It's very functional
07:02However
07:03There are some plans
07:05And some
07:06Technical staging
07:08That I found
07:09Very interesting
07:10In particular the plans
07:12Of chase
07:12With the cars
07:14In the desert
07:14There are plans
07:15Very tight
07:16Very shaky
07:17And there is a whole game
07:19With
07:20With
07:22Bumps
07:23And mountains
07:24And the different ones
07:26Focal lengths used
07:27To accentuate
07:28This feeling
07:30Because in fact
07:30Concretely
07:30It's a chase
07:31On a straight line
07:32So if it had been
07:33Filmed for example
07:34Aside
07:34It would have been fair
07:36A very ordinary thing
07:37And there would not be
07:38The feeling
07:40Depression
07:41And danger
07:41But there
07:42The use of focal lengths
07:43Is ultra interesting
07:45And ultra intelligent
07:45What makes
07:47What does it give?
07:47An aesthetic
07:48To the movie
07:48Who is a little
07:49Particulate
07:49There are 2-3 little ones
07:51Sequence shots
07:51Like that
07:52Who are nice
07:52Notably
07:53The one on the roofs
07:54Good for him
07:54He may be
07:54A little less
07:55Original
07:56And surprising
07:57But I found it
07:59Quite functional
08:00However
08:02Effectively
08:02The sequence shot
08:04Where he goes up
08:05At the very beginning
08:06We follow DiCaprio
08:08Who is walking around
08:09In some
08:10In a room
08:12Who hides refugees
08:13Latinos
08:14He is very cool
08:17He is very very cool
08:18It seems to me from memory
08:19That it's a single sequence shot
08:20And the performance
08:22Is rather
08:23Is quite stylish
08:25There are small ones
08:26There are small ones
08:27Technical attempts
08:28Who are interesting
08:29There are small ones
08:30Technical performance
08:31And suddenly
08:31Acting performances
08:32Also
08:32Because a sequence shot
08:33You have to hold it
08:33It's not
08:35It's not
08:36It's not something
08:36Which is very easy to do
08:39But I liked it
08:41So
08:41Without however
08:42Have a DA
08:42Exceptional
08:43There are
08:44There are trials
08:45There are things
08:46Who are trying to be done
08:46In there
08:47And it's very cool
08:47The strength of this film is
08:50It might not necessarily work
08:51Being in the technique
08:52But I think more
08:52In the subject matter
08:54And especially also
08:56Sound design
08:57Is very clean
08:58For the moment
08:59I found that
09:00Sound design
09:01Is very very very
09:02Clean
09:03Whether it is
09:05Sounds of weapons
09:06Like the sniper
09:06Whether it is
09:08THE
09:09The objects
09:10The slamming of doors
09:11So it may seem
09:12An anecdote
09:13Well, it may seem so.
09:14Really
09:14Particular
09:16What I'm telling you here
09:17But it is
09:17I find that there is
09:19A real presence
09:20Sound design
09:22Because in fact
09:23There are plenty of moments
09:23Dishes
09:25In which
09:25Where there may be
09:26Less dialogue
09:27And it really is
09:28The atmosphere
09:29And the atmosphere
09:29Who
09:29Which is built
09:31At the level of the
09:34At the audio level
09:35And who has a real
09:36Presence and importance
09:37That we
09:39We don't necessarily realize it
09:40And precisely
09:41It means
09:41How well done
09:42But I
09:43I think that
09:44Well, anyway.
09:45I felt
09:45That the sound design
09:46Was really
09:47Really
09:47One of the strengths
09:48From this film
09:49With
09:50With obviously
09:52The subject matter
09:53And the acting
09:54Yeah
09:55I believe
09:58Have been around
09:59Yeah
10:02Anyway
10:02I think we have some
10:03Enough has been said
10:03If you have any feedback
10:05If you have seen it
10:05Or whatever
10:06Don't hesitate
10:06Please feel free to donate
10:07Other opinion

10:09To give me
10:09Tell me
10:10What movie?
10:11You want me to go see
10:11Or what manga
10:13You want me to find out
10:14Anime etc
10:15Advise me on things
10:16Same video games
10:17Let's admit
10:17This could be the opportunity
10:19In my opinion
10:20To give you a review on it
10:21To discover this
10:22And give you a review on it
10:23Hot as it is
10:24And then
10:25I'll meet you
10:26In the next review
10:28See you later
