One Battle After Another in the Context of the Present Day
I was prompted to watch One Battle After Another after listening to a New York Times interview with Sean Penn.
Unlike my friend Gregory Maskarinec, I still listen to Ezra Klein podcasts, where I heard the David Marchese interview with Penn.
Penn says that his performance was studied and intentional, unlike a number of his previous performances.
I tend to think of Penn as Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), but Lockjaw is a comic performance, a send-up of the white supremacist military man.
