Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film, "One Battle After Another," a politically charged drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has achieved critical acclaim and box office success. While many critics view its themes as satirical fantasy, some on the right decry it as an "apologia for radical left-wing terrorism" and "irresponsible." The film's portrayal of a revolutionary fighting a white nationalist military officer, and its opening raid on an ICE facility, have drawn particular criticism for allegedly romanticizing violence and presenting a conspiratorial view of the U.S. as a fascist dictatorship.
