This article contains spoilers for Singleton.

Although he has only four films deep in his career, director Ari Aster has already gained a notorious reputation for the way his work involves huge help of ambiguity. From the mysteries around The Graham family past in "Hereditary" On the question of What (if something) is real in "bio is afraid", Aster films leave many aspects unexplained by their conclusion. His latest film, "Singleton", is no different in this ward. Despite being set up in a well -known earthen world than his previous films, it is not a lack of any elements that cause paranoia (or paranoia). Earlier films by Aster followed by a protagonist because they are insincerly dragged into an increasingly hostile and surreal world, and the biggest difference with Singleton is that this surreal world is simply going to look like our reality of the year 2020 and beyond.

Despite deliberate playing with this political and sociological fire, Aster has not made a controversy from Singleton. Yes, the film can be interpreted in a variety of ways, and on any side of the political division could easily make a case of being a stunning indictment for the opposite group. However, there is still such uncertainty about many aspects of a film that cannot be officially claimed to advocate any "side", which is a Dissa, yet a Fiene clever way to get the problem with the film as "both sides".

The most controversial example of the way the film handles these divisive themes, lies in the group of villains that go into the culmination of the film. To a large extent unseen and of course unprecedented, these attackers can be assumed to be part of antifa, short anti -fascist, who are a group of left -wing political activists who make their presence known to protests and other locations of political and social unrest. In right-wing circles, the organization has become a kind of figure of Wigman, with conspiracy-mind believing that they are seeking to incite violence and unrest as part of some efforts to destabilize.

Although Aster is an undeniable Rifle of this mythical person with the involvement of these apparently left -wing terrorists in the film, their display and meaning are not so clear. At Singleton, they could be an exaggerated hallucination of the main character, a smoke screen for a gray fictional corporation, or perhaps just a Rorschac's test for his own beliefs to the audience, such as Aster himself.

Although Singleon has a character ensemble, it is a story that is primarily seen through the eyes of Jo Cross (Aoakin Phoenix), Singleon's right-wing sheriff, New Mexico, who is partially inspired by the discomfort of the early days of the Kovid-19. The other reason for his sudden bid is his long -standing beef with left -wing incumbent Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), which has an incident of an attack involving OEO's wife, Louis (Emma Stone) that may or may not have happened. OEO sees itself as a nonsense, a common sense type of authority figure, a kind of male archetype that is the cornerstone of the American West's mythology for centuries. Because of this, Aster positions "Single" as a distorted west, with OEO as a central figure similar to Gary Cooper in The famous western "high noon" or the Jameseims Hars in The classic TV series "Gunsmoke".

However, OEO is far from a morally healthy person like those examples, because he abuses his power and influence and killing TED and trying to cover up. In a movie like noir fashion, the cracks in the OEO concealment are beginning to show, leading to a probable possibility that he will reveal the nearby sheriff of Pueblo (David Midduder). That is when members of the Antifa appear, helping to send the small city that is already accused of protests and unrest in further chaos, as they catch OEO deputies, detonate explosives and create active incidents with shooters on the city's open roads.

In other words, this is the perverted version of the typical sequence of the Western film with a shootout with attacking villains, and since the OEO is the "hero" of this story, its villains are obviously antifa soldiers. However, despite the fact that Jo is "saved" with their timely appearance, he does not appear unsaturated - although he is technically still alive at the end of the film, he has become dumb paraplegic because of his injuries, an appropriate fate for someone who is publicly transmitted as a hero, but is known to himself (and the audience). According to this point of view, the soldiers who attack OEO at the culmination of the film can also get their desserts, a kind of manifestation of man's paranoid anxiety.

Of course, "Singleon" is not just a film that wants to blame his main character. It is also a film that, instead of pointing his fingers politically, wants to keep a mirror to the audience (primarily Americans) and see what a disturbing non -permanent country we have become in the last few years. This goal is something Aster to call a point during a recent interview with /film Etan Anderton, who asked director of the Antifa Soldiers Test. Aster replied:

"And I think maybe the best way to describe what that test is, suddenly at that moment, or you see satire or see dramatization of what was happening at the time. So, it was an important kind to me that the movie kind of so much was affected by the fever of that kind of thinking that all of these things were really manifest."

Again, Aster essentially describes the ambiguous nature of these villains, which are seen just before their activity in Ednington on the ship, which seems to be a private jet, make up signs with left -wing slogans. This little view of an explanation of who and what they are only raising questions about their real purpose and display. For OEO (and right -wing audience), they are "dramatizing" antifa members in real life. For leftist people, they are satirizing what they believe in and right -wing. Then there are all the possibilities between these two sexes, including the idea that they could simply be rich instigators seeking to hide behind left -wing politics as an excuse to disrupt Singleton and sew chaos for their own reasons.

There is another potential explanation for the presence of the villains, which is that given their obvious wealth and organization, they can be mercenaries engaged by the fictional SoldgoldMagikarp corporation who require a foundation in Ednington in order to build their expensive new data center. During the film, both OEO and Ted seem to agree that SolidgoldMagikarp's proposal would not be useful for Ednington and its citizens, and it is therefore possible for the company to try to secretly hire some violent people in order to destabilize the city that it will be ready to accept any offer, what is actually ending.

There is no doubt that Singleon is a deliberately frustrating film, as Aster is unstable that the film has no concrete answers to his policy, social comment or even morality. This means that, as uncomfortable as it may be, the villains in the film are totally according to your own definition and interpretation. It seems that the only inevitable and unambiguous answer to what the "bad guys" in the film are the Americans themselves. Whether you see it as a rationalization of "both sides" or not, it will not be denied recently, it is increasingly felt as if we are all the worst enemies of each other.
