"One battle after another" Takes many, many freedoms with Vineland, the book Thomas Pinchon It inspired him. However, it retains some of the central elements of the novel, such as the generational change in revolutionary ideas and government administrations that reduce resistance.

Pinchon's book shows how Nixon's policy and federal interference sabotaged the counter-cultural movements of the 1960s, only for uncontrolled consumerism and the capitalism of the Reagan era to reduce the rest of the revolutionary spirit of the 60s. "One battle after another" keeps part of it, but it's easier to miss the first time.

This is because the film's detention center, a revolutionary group with buildings, French 75, has been removed almost as soon as it was introduced. We see his members who issue loud statements and release migrants at the detention center, but they have been handed over shortly after and most of them are executed. As a result, the film can initially be read as a satire showing revolutionary groups like a little more than angry children screaming at institutions and throwing explosive tantras.

Jumping forward to today, the film then introduces Sergio St Carlos to Benissio del Toro, a karate teacher and community leader. A beautiful, quiet man who undoubtedly dislikes the white superiors living in his city of Baktan Cross, Sergio is left alone because he does not cause problems and even does not raise his voice. But there is more for him than he fills the eye. You see, Sergio has a "situation of Latino Harriet Tubman", offering immigrants shelter and a safe passage through the city through a series of tunnels.

Sergio and his allies are the greatest heroes of "one battle after another", even though they are not in the film for very long. In this way, the resistance group remembers the hunters of the vampires of Chokotau in "sinners", which appear for five minutes, leave an unforgettable impression, and then immediately leave, never to see them again.

Sergio is a very peripheral character in the story of Funny and funny bob Ferguson on Leonardo DiCaprio in "One battle after the other". He appears long enough to discover that there is a much larger story that happens outside the screen and then leaves. (The fact that Anderson does not include another scene with Sergio, after he has been arrested is a tragedy.) All the work brings the chops in "sinners" who appear on one, short scene, but still hinted at a conflict that goes far from the events of the film.

This is also a perfect example of building the world. It expands the story and setting up "sinners" in ways that signal to the audience that there are countless events that happen elsewhere, as well as characters and history we are unaware of. The inclusion of choctaws also helps to put "sinners" in a better historical context by alluding to the history of the real life of the indigenous American resistance to white superiority.

Now, while Sergio's role in "one battle after the other" is more essential than that of Ceyton (Nathaniel Arcand) and other vampire hunters in "sinners", still serves to expand the scale of the film and the volume, introducing a very cool and unforgettable character. After all, there are many examples of the Latino and Spanish community in the United States that perform acts of solidarity and resistance against anti-immigration, anti-latin waves spreading across the country and the horrors committed by the current regime. They may not be glossy, but they are still important and effective.

Sergio is also crucial to the topics of "one battle after another". It represents what resistance looks like in 2025, a time when even the freedom of the Assembly is under attack and any attempt at peaceful protest is filled with violent suffocation by the regime forces. Sergio's forces are not trying to escalate things because they know they will lead to even greater attacks on their community. Instead, they work quietly under the nose of the authorities. This is how Anderson adapts to the key idea of ​​Pinchon's book, ie. The revolution continues with every new generation, even when governments continue to try to expel it. The French were sabotaged, infiltrated and handed over, but his spirit lives.

Even if one claims that "one battle after another" seems to be a quieter and more activated community -oriented, higher than the violent resistance of the French 75, the film unequivocally recognizes how violent resistance inspires others. Sergio does not help Bob (even to use him from hospital after being arrested) because he teaches his daughter Karate. Sergio is specially inspired to help Bob because he is a former member of the French 75 and "How often do you have to help the original escape of 75?"

No, we do not need a spin-off for Sergio, just as we really do not need to predict the "sinners" for Chokotau. But the fact that both have caused such strong reactions from the audience, talking about how effective their roles in their films are. And while "One battle after another" made a smaller spraying in the box office than he did "sinners"It's kind of film that sticks to the audience for a long time after they see it.

"One battle after another" now plays in cinemas.
