The mountain road One battle after another starting to be far from home. It seems like a century ago, the new movie Paul Thomas Anderson landed in Spanish cinemas and is, however, still in several of them. That’s how time flies or, if not, ask Bob: one day you’re a revolutionary called to end capitalism and the next day you’re smoking a vape in the middle of the forest.
One battle after another part of the novel Vinelandby Thomas Pynchon, which Thomas Anderson had already adapted in Pure vice. This is not a minor merit: the author of The gravitational rainbow He is as easy to bring to the cinema as James Joyce. In Vinelandalthough similar characters appear, there is no Christmas lovers cluba fascist clique that operates in the shadows and includes the most elitist of the most grilled. Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw wants to join her, played by a madman Sean Penn.
Lockjaw meets all the requirements needed to be the worst of the worst, except one: the counter to zero in interracial relationships. The reason, his fascination with Perfidia (Teyana Taylor), whom he released after his arrest in exchange for sex. Among the Christmas lovers, a rumor spreads that Lockjaw might also have been a lover of not-too-white skin, and they decide to investigate. And the main fear of Sean Penn’s character, who aspires to sign for the club of his life, is to find living proof: his possible daughter Willa, played by Chase Infinitiand the one Bob takes care of in secret.
Is Willa Colonel Lockjaw’s daughter?
After an endless search (the pun with the actress’s name was inevitable), Lockjaw manages to find Willa, the one who is related, and gives her a paternity test.. By then, Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) already knew his partner had sex with the Colonel and suspected Willa might not be biologically his. The paternity test is indeed positiveso Lockjaw decides to hand Willa over to a hitman to kill her. This way you will erase all traces of interraciality and you can play fascism with your Christmas friends.
The hitman refuses and delivers her to a gang of thugs less scrupulous than him. Until then, It has become clear that Willa is Lockjaw’s daughter. Or not?
If we go back and watch the scene where he takes the paternity test, we’ll see that either because Lockjaw isn’t very smart or because Willa keeps making fun of him, the colonel makes a mistake: the gangs who must determine whether or not it is their daughter must grow up more than them. This isn’t to say that Lockjaw isn’t Willa’s father, just that we can’t know for sure.since the soldier disconnects the device in advance believing that, with a few short lines, it was sufficient.
Moreover, and even if the montage does not show it entirely clearly, It appears he uses the same swab to extract Willa’s saliva and his own.which, once introduced into the pipette, would obviously cause a coincidence in the two samples. It’s understandable that you didn’t notice this detail: Sean Penn’s Milei-style gait is distracting everyone.
