The Union he wants to take his time
The Uniona new Netflix film and current Top 1 worldwide, reunites Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry in an action comedy. In addition to the action and comedy, the film also develops an important romantic dimension. Mark Wahlberg plays Mike, a construction worker with a simple life recruited by Roxanne, a former high school classmate played by Halle Berry, who has become an agent for a clandestine organization called “The Union”. Over the course of their explosive adventures, the two characters will grow closer and closer…
“An idea of three possible films”
The romantic fiber of The Union It is very sensitive, but viewers did not fail to notice one point: at no point in the 1h49 duration of the film, the two protagonists do not kiss. A kiss then, an obviously fundamental event in every romantic story, whose absence could not fail to be very noticeable. The film’s director, Julian Farino, explained this choice to Variety:
We take their relationship to a certain point and then I think you have to give it a lot of space to move forward. Netflix has always said to us, from the beginning, “You have to think of this as an idea of three possible movies.” So if people come away wanting a kiss, then we’ve probably done a good job, in my opinion.
We understand it then The Unionmore than on its action sequences, it relies above all on the relationship between the characters played by the two American stars to attract and convince Netflix subscribers. Halle Berry also intervened on the subject:
Once they kiss, the story ends. Hopefully if we make a second movie, we’ll let this “quest” continue. You want to see this adventure, to see these two high school sweethearts reunite.
Netflix has adopted a franchising strategy for its original productions, and it is very rare to see an “internal” film appear on the platform that would be a autonomous. It is no coincidence that it was decided not to further fuel and to conclude the romantic relationship between Mike and Roxanne from the first film. Just to save this kiss for a second, or even a third film, if the audience is there. And with the success of The Union Wherever it is available, it seems more than likely that a sequel will be announced soon.
