Los Angeles:
Few Hollywood stars carry the weight of cultural expectation as Leonardo DiCaprio. Every time he enters a new project, the attention it draws is just as much about the story on screen as it is about what the film can say about the moment we live in. His recent collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson is no exception.
For Leonardo DiCaprio, it is no easy achievement to explain the synopsis of his new action thriller movie “One match after another”.
“I think it’s probably because it’s a complex thing to formulate, but in the heart of it I think the film has a lot to do with humanity. It has a lot to do with polarization in the world that we live in, extremism at both ends,” that Titanic Said actor.
The film follows Bob Ferguson, played by DiCaprio, and his wife Perfidia Beverly Hills, played by singer Teyana Taylor. They are a loving but strained couple who embark on bold humanitarian missions in modern America.
“It’s not a movie where people impose any other political belief in someone else,” DiCaprio said. “It’s satire at both ends. It’s a great movie to have come out in today’s world. I think it’s important.”
In the film, perfidia suddenly disappears shortly after birth. Bob changes his identity and goes out of the net to raise their child as a single parent. When an enemy reappears after 16 years of revenge, Bob has to work to save his kidnapped daughter. Author and director Paul Thomas Anderson is known for his different style in films like Licorice pizza that will be blood and Boogie Nights.
According to DiCaprio, Anderson has “incredible flexibility” and can change entire sequences based on an actor’s suggestion. “Not to say he takes all your ideas because he certainly doesn’t,” DiCaprio said. “He has a fantastic BS detector. But when you say a good idea I mean, the whole course of the movie can change.”
“One match after another” arrives at theaters on Friday. Film critics assigned the film, distributed by Warner Bros a 97% by review unit Rotten tomatoesWith great praise for Anderson.
