I also find it weird that the secret service agents in the film were still wearing clean suits. I was expecting them to be wearing atleast combat attire and not formal dresses
This kinda happened in Liberia back in 1990. Rebels stormed the residence of Samual Doe, who was President. They recorded themselves drinking Budweiser and cutting off Doe’s ears while he was alive. And then executing him. All caught on tape by presumably on of the rebel soldiers.
True. But it wouldn't happen like it does in the movie. They would take him prisoner and put him on trial. A major event like this, the victors want to write the narrative for history. Killing him makes him a martyr. Cuffing him and putting him on trial makes him look like a failure.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. It would depend on who is in charge and what they agree upon. I just figured that there would be too much miscommunication between secret service and FBI and DC capital police.
I actually knew the grand daughter of William Tolbert, her father (son of William Tolbert) was basically exiled to the United States after their family was assasinated.
Pretty funny how the movie is about journalism which can oft be seen as nothing more than depraved opportunism, just like the movie. Whoever had the idea to make this given the state of the US right now just to feed off people's fears perfectly embodies the worst qualities of journalism. It's cracked and I love it.
Too bad none of this type of war journalism is present at the Ukraine-Russia war. Any US-Western journalist who wants to be there to report what is actually happening the US Federal government will stop them, banning them, prohibiting them from going there to witness and report what is really happening.
There's a difference between journalists who are reporting what's going on and keeping an eye on govt and corporate crime. And then there's "access" media who aren't really journalists, but actors who can't act.
As a press photographer, two things annoy me about this movie - first of all, no modern press snapper would shoot film. It's too slow to get your pics out. Secondly, lens hoods - why movies never have them in I dunno. You risk getting the glass on the lens scratched without them and light leaking into the lens, ruining the shot.
It doesn’t bother me too much. Film nowadays is usually done for that vintage noisy effect and “nostalgia” but the Nikon Photomic is built like a tank and reliable. Even if mirrorless are better in every way possible, if you wanted to shoot in 35, it’s totally possible. Also I think you’ve mixed it up, a lens hood won’t prevent debris and dust affecting your glass but lens filters will protect lenses. I see your points but if you really wanted to shoot 35mm in combat environments, it’s totally possible. Even if it makes more sense to shoot with mirrorless or dslr.

If a second civil war were to happen in real life, it would be completey different tonwhat isnportrayed in the movie. At least in regards to political motivations/aliances 😬
I wish we couldve gotten more backstory. Like flashbacks or even just more scenes of them talking about it. All i really got is 1. President is on term 3 (somehow) 2. Fbi was disbanded 3. Something vague about an ANTIFA massacre
I think it was intentionally vague...I hope someone makes one that really takes a chance and tries to be specific. I have seen Jericho and read Turner Diaries and One Second After. There are other books. I would like to reaD or see something based on the conditions that exist now. A lot has happened in the past few years.
The ANTIFA massacre was kept vague on purpose. You don't know if it's a massacre done by ANTIFA, or against ANTIFA. That's not what's important though, because the film is about how no one benefits in a civil war, and we all suffer because of it. The war journalists are there because they're the ones making sure that the real details of the war get out to the public. Everyone in these comments sections keep talking about how unrealistic it is or how they never said who was at fault, when that's not the point.
Basically, this movie tries to use the 1861 Civil War, which was a product of its time, in modern society. First, in 1861, States had their own armies (militias) which were independent of the Federal Army and had fought independently. Up until then, the USA had fought two foreign powers, Great Britain 1812-15, who at the time were so focused on Napoleon that they could only send a token force to North America, and Mexico 1846-48 who was not very powerful as they only became a nation in 1821. When Great Britain did invade the USA, states formed militias that fought alongside the US army. Today the National Guard (successors to the militias) are part of the Federal Army and can be nationalized instantly. The next issue is that most Americans are so dependent on Federal programs that with a quick snap of the Fed's fingers people will comply, examples are healthcare, education, transportation, welfare, housing, banking, finance, infrastructure, transportation, credit, etc. So no one would survive without these today. Back in 1861 communities were more localized and self-sufficient. The main issue for the Civil War, slavery was very divided by states. Most in free states wanted to end it while most in slave states wanted to keep it. No one issue divides states today.
@@griver007able Yes, but being woke does not get a standing army or any force to last a long time. Whenever law enforcement cracks down they run away. Even the protesters at colleges last month or so wanted the comforts of home (iPhone, food deliveries, air conditioning). They are the same age as the Confederate soldiers 160 years ago. Imagine them going in the field without any comfort for 2 days (the ones 160 years ago went months without comfort).
@@griver007able i swear the GOP created wokeness because they know their domestic policies are severally unpopular with the general public so the only way the can compete in elections is by doing nonsense culture war rhetoric. its sad that it worked and how much its distracts from real issues within this country but whatever

This movie was a shitshow. California and texas teaming up? Soilders ok with press? Poor tatics on both sides. Low levels of destruction. Its just completely ridiculous.
We’re also supposed to believe the actual government are fanatic radicals and not the army of two dissimilar states seceding and teaming up to declare war on America
@@commanderiosifstalin4938 the president extended his term by four years And disbanded the FBI. That’s when Texas and California become the western forces
I heard that the President refuses to vacate the office of POTUS after his second term ends, and the rebels are fighting to save the Union. A classic turn for "saving democracy!"
@@commanderiosifstalin4938 it started for a few reasons. President refusal to give up his power and taking a third term, using drones against US civilians , disbanding the FBI, on top of him being a r real facist president.
This movie literally makes no sense. Literally do enough research and looking at the geopolitics of the US and other countries today, a civil war would not play out like this and many of the decisions in this film are so silly that it's silly to think some of these things are a possible outcome. The US literally has order of operations for an insurrection on the white house. The unison between Texas and Cali is so hilarious. The way the US is divided between state lines and ideals, a faction based civil war looks extremely likely where their are new lines for separation of states and violence breaks out between communities across states. Either new state lines are developed by law or military force is taken obviously.
The union between Cali and Texas is purposely absurd, because then the audience can't project a right/left ideology at either side fighting. The movie is not about the reason for fighting, it's about the moral absurdity of civil war viol*nce.
Civil wars make only sense in the begining......given enough time, people fight just because, or because they want to screw their neighbour from the next block, and not because some people that are thousends of miles away have some disagreement. They don`t really care on wich side they are, as long as it is the opposite of their neghbours one Then, there are the people who actually BENEFIT from war, and will make all they can to have it continued, because NOW they are a big fish, a warlord that can take whatever they want from whoever they want, and in the situation BEFORE they were just some poor suckers serving at Mc Donalds. They also don`t care for wich side they fight. Finally when you have the first generation that grew up knowing nothing but war, considers it "buissnes as usuall", and is ACTUALLY AFRAID from peace, because it represents a situation they don`t know and for wich they don`t have any usefull skills, THEN you know you are royally scr*w*d, and that the war will go on till all resources are burned and all people are d*ad......
@@jorgebarriosmur Im sorry wtf are you talking about? "given enough time, people just fight because or because they want to screw their neighbor from the block, not because some people that are thousands of miles away have some disagreement." Every major civil war in Africa the last 70 years blatantly contradicts your bs.... You really think the Rwanda Civil War was fought for 5 years because someone wanted to screw their neighbor? Bruh it was a genocide of an entire ethnicity of people - wtf are you talking about?! A rift STILL exists in that country between the two ethnicities 40 YEARS later The most current civil war is the Tingray Conflict in Ethiopia. 478,000 dead....... You seriously think this level of destruction occurs because people are fighting just to fight or just screw their neighbor? Uh more like northern state of the country with a population of 5.8 million people want to secede from the rest of the country because of different cultural backgrounds and belief in more socialist governing systems as compare with the current ruling government. This is the kind of movie you get when people like yourself have completely nonsensical beliefs of the history of cultures in this world.
I highly suggest actually watching the movie. The recapper missed out on some key points of the film. The people in the comments have no idea what they are talking about.
@@nonGigiactually, I saw nothing from anyone on the right about the movie. However, all over Twitter there were leftists left and right bitching that the President wasn’t Donald Trump.
@@nonGigiyour country is headed to this as you just insult the right lol. As a non american. Social media tells the world the right is racist and the left pedos. So gl with that one 😂
Just remember within a few hundred years the larges empire in history collapsed. Everyone saying this is a ridiculous premise seems very short sighted. Also its a film (an anti war film) not designed to be political but to show how awful war is and shows a ton of war crimes all of which happen in all wars, just look at Gaza and Ukraine for examples.
I watched this movie to see how TX and CA became allies. I never found out. Also, why did the military bug out of DC and the generals surrendered "just like that"? No explanation.
factually incorrect. the movie is much more of a warning, that if we dont deradicalize our political poles, the very idea of America would buckle under the weight of individuality
Brace for the steal. Biden will be re-elected with Michele Obama as VP, then Biden will resign, and Michele will be president and will choose Hillary Clinton for VP, then Michele will resign, and Hillary Clinton will be president and will choose Barack Obama as VP. Then, WWIII will begin.
@@potatouno And to add that, many weird alliances happened throughout history. The British allied with the French and the Turks (historically enemies for centuries) against the Russians during the Crimean War is one example, the Second Sino Japanese war forced all the warring Chinese factions to unite against a common enemy, and the Spanish Civil war was a cesspool that would take me a long time to explain what's going on with the Republicans and Nationalists lol So I'd say a California-Texas alliance is probable, even if it's cursed, haha.
I liked it. The urban combat scenes were decently good. The horrors of war coming to a 1st world country is disturbing to imagine. I wish however, it was a bit longer and the ending did not seem so…abrupt. A post credit scene on what happens to the states now or where the journalists will go from here would have been nice. Especially since the Florida Alliance and New People’s Army didn’t show up. Otherwise 8.5/10 for me.
What even is this movie supposed to be? Yes, I know what it’s called. But like do they ever explain why they’re fighting? You know why has this president seemingly lost control of the country?
According to the film plot on wikipedia, it's because the president got elected for a third term. Which pissed of some people. A third term president has only happened once during ww2 and he didn't make the full third term due to him passing away.
Why the war started: -The president likely suspended the constitution to get his illegal 3rd term -inflation is stupid high “$300 for a sandwich” said in the movie - US looks like 3rd world country now, in NYC scene u see ppl barley having access to water & electricity -President ordered airstrikes on his own civilians, whole towns bombed, who knows how many died
@@dark_unit2409 Such a cop out...... There have been plenty of war movies were both sides are shown to do horrendous crap, yet the films still explain wtf is going on. First 5 minutes of Saving Private Ryan you see 3 different scenes of Americans committing war crimes against POWs - not even germans. So this bs of "were not gonna explain or provide any explanation cuz war is bad" is such nonsense....
@@MattBuild4 Saving Private Ryan is based on a true story first of all and second of all I don’t know if you’ve looked around, but America’s pretty divided right now and in a politically charged environment. .How do you suppose a civil war film that explains what started the civil war would fare? It would further polarize an already divided nation with one side saying “see! We are are the good guys you’re the bad guys.” That’s not the point of this movie to see who is good or bad the point is to see the needless death and destruction a civil war brings. Because there are people calling for violence in the real world. We do see some glimpses of the president taking a 3rd term , disbanding the FBI and launching. Air strikes on US citizens implying a facist government takeover that causes California and Texas ( 2 of largest economies in the country/ world) to join forces in the interest of defeating the White House, despite leaning politically opposite. This has happened in history before. Japan and Germany formed an unlikely alliance in WWII.
Ahhhh damn... She's a complete idiot in the movie, especially in the climatic battle. She was told by both the WF guys and her fellow journalists too many times to stay back and/or take cover but she kept doing the exact opposite. Her stupidity caused Kirsten Dunst's character to be killed by a loyalist secret service agent. I absolutely hate her. Oh and she could've died when she hopped to the other car's window at high speeds, like damn!
Both presidents today are horrible and nobody should vote for either side if you don’t put time to see what both sides have done and the lies and crimes/corruption committed.

That situation is an actual nightmare. The government is executing civilians! But they are finally on the back foot jt seems. I hope tbey can take back their country and hold the junta accountable.
I had fun watching this movie with my family and we kept asking the main question of “would you wanna be the person to take the last few shots of the president?”
War time journalist are not the same as buzzfeed blogger it’s disingenuous to act like people who throw themselves into the line of fire so we can see what is going on are somehow bad because some idiots who have access to a computer call themselves “journalists”
It was very loud movie. Damn near to the point of causing hearing damage. As far as the story went, well, if you see parallels to today who could blame you? The most haunting moment for me in the entire movie was that gas station scene. Three guys are standing there holding rifles. Nothing else. Except maybe torturing their buddies around back because they can get away with doing it. This is the kind of lawlessness proposed by some. Every man for himself. Vigilantism. Watching that scene I thought to myself that I hope it also sticks in the mind of other viewers, because what's more simple than pulling into a gas station today? Can you imagine that version of pulling up to a gas station? Just armed thugs standing there like "this is ours and we'll kill you to keep it"? No more open public parks and playgrounds. Life as WE know it, long gone. With us having no clue how to bring it back, because we inherited it all in the first place. People ask, "could it happen here?" It's already started. Most people just can't recognize it yet. Frog in slow boiling water effect I guess. Who'll win? Since we lead the free world, nobody, especially Americans. To those who think they're disenfranchised and powerless now, wait until America is a tattered wasteland, and a shadow of its former self. That big superior military politicians love to lionize? Gone. The economy you rely so much on to define who you are and how you live? Gone. You crying about barely a percentage point of inflation? Normally inflation hovers around 2.5% to 3%. Currently it's at 3.85%. When fighting breaks out watch it go to 400%. Or how about your money being worthless? All those credit cards and HELOCS and lines of credit you use to extend and finance your current lifestyle? All gone overnight. It's all fiat currency anyway. Gold and silver won't do you any good either. We'll be back on the barter system. That stock market your 401k is tied up in? What do you think happens when our economic system collapses overnight? Our deterrence to enemies like China and Russia? C'mon. You think they're going to be afraid of half the United States? Or a third? While Americans are killing each other they'll be landing troops on both our shores, ready to help finish off whatever's left, carving our country up into their territories. The reality is that it's always been easier to destroy than to create. My advice is if you don't know how to rebuild it, don't break it in the first place. That's this movie's warning, and it's message.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this became a reality in america at all cause that’s kinda where we’re headed, we’re warning ourselves but at the same time not heeding the warnings, tyrannical leaders, division and in fighting, desensitized to violence, lack of humanity empathy compassion, selfishness, which is disturbing as hell and concerning, we’re in some dark times and I honestly dk what the future holds in this country but as of right now it’s not looking good
From what I've been able to piece together of this world in CIVIL War if kinda have a idea.. The president of the US had apparently won a third term, something that was considered not possible after WWII, He dissolved the FBI and other agencies effectively making him and his party ruling the country in a dictatorship. He used lethal force on American protestors, Apparently given that this use of lethal force was one of the primary reasons of the civil war its likely he used military force on multiple protest groups that wasn't for his regime. Apparently he might have tried to crack down on states that did not conform to his regime, California and Texas being states that effectively run themselves didn't take well to that and rebelled. Both states also retain the largest armies in the Union in the form of their national guards. Given at the sheer anger and orders to kill him on site its likely the dictator directly attacked these states and didn't attack military forces but civilians. Its likely the dictator , imprisoned soldiers that were citizens of those states and or executed them especially if they hesitated attacking there own states and citizens. This likely would result in desertion. Given that Western Forces appeared to have a variety of equipment that appeared to be fairly up to date its likely that regular army that were still loyal to the US original values defected to the Western Forces along with their equipment. Like any dictatorship on its way out we see evidence of a propaganda campaign to hide the evidence of what was going on in the war. A map that showed the various factions and the remaining US one, lying about the actual number of states that turned. although we don't truly see the dictatorships forces to much we do see that Western Forces, the Florida alliance and other factions apparently have no problems with journalist so long as they stay out of the way in a firefight. US forces were gunning anything that moved.
Imagine hearing the call out for a bomb, hiding not becuase of the chance of it being real but BECAUSE OF HOW MANY TIMES ITS BEEN REAL I fear this reality and not for the reason you'd expect
There is no civil war coming, it's pure fear tactics and people wanting to drag others down with their problems instead of focusing on how to fix these problems. Guns, Video Games, Civil Discussions, and Rights aren't the problems but Illegal Immigration, High Taxes, Instigating wars for profit and oil, Resentment of the lower and middle working class, Mental health, and Narcotics are the primary issues
It was approved by the government & military in the first place,thus no back story or fo you think producers have such a free leg when it comes to stuff like this and just keep in mind who owns Hollywood…..
Fun fact: Jesse Plemons character (disturbing crazy racist red sunglasses guy) was not originally meant for him. For some reasons beyond their control the original actor dropped out last minute. Kirsten Dunst suggested to the director her husband take the role and that was that.
To be honest this movie show you a potential reality we all could face. For example, when Donald Trump lost the election in 2020. The riot that happened in the capital that was caused by trump supporters could be seen as an attempt overthrow the government because they didn’t want to accept that Trump lost. Let’s say it was successful in some sorts and Trump even had the support of the military. The country could quickly descend into Civil War.
Movie tried too hard to be artsy for my liking. The soundtrack wasn't great either. Had it just stuck to being an action flick it would have been better.
the soundtrack was AMAZING for the film. The first song is offbeat and eerie, and later on, they use contemporary rap and hip hop as a backdrop to today's culture being used as the "war music", like Fortune Son and Everybody Wants to Rule the World before it.
@@seanwallcroft6272 They did a lot of scenes where they really focused on the shots and framing because "the characters are journalists." If I wanted to watch a documentary I'd just watch one. I went into this expecting a war movie
My son saw movie this and said we shouldn’t watch it. Wasn’t worth it but I can’t help think this is where we are heading. Only thing I find missing is politicians and fake news media aren’t targeted. I feel certain that is going happen.
Our forefathers said that America will fall to no other faults than its own no nation will be as brazen to come across the vast oceans from us we form within will undermine our great nation if at all there’s any chance to fail
honestly, the fact that A24 has made a few politically based movies while remaining unbiased is something that almost no other studio has been successful with. Didn't they also make 'the hunt'? I mean that movie was very political, but still without taking one side or the other. Making both sides look cool and making them both look ignorant. That's kind of how this movie feels as well. I mean, quality of story plot aside, you got to admit, they're tip toeing a line that other production companies have a hard time doing these days.
Didn't know Night Crawler 2 came out? Anyway, this movie was made due to referencing Trump, the people behind the project was trying not to confirm it, but everyone knows.
If you think about it, Jesse saved Lee. She would let anyone die and document it, she was clearly dead inside. Saving her brought her humanity back because she cared about another and tried to save her. Then she dies but with her soul restored instead of empty and depressed.
I must disagree with those who are saying the California/Texas alliance is absurd and impossible. The film takes place not today but in the near future. With thousands of Californians and New Yorkers moving to Texas and other red states for economic reasons it’s perfectly possible that Texas could someday turn purple or even blue, as Arizona has. So a Texas/California alliance is by no means impossible at some point t in the future.

If a second civil war were to happen in real life, it would be completey different tonwhat isnportrayed in the movie. At least in regards to political motivations/aliances 😬
I wish we couldve gotten more backstory. Like flashbacks or even just more scenes of them talking about it. All i really got is
1. President is on term 3 (somehow)
2. Fbi was disbanded
3. Something vague about an ANTIFA massacre
Dont forget the economical collapse
@@npc2.010 yeah, I would've liked to know how a sandwich came to be $300
@@npc2.010 I'd have to be a millionaire to survive lol I eat 6 times a day or I won't gain weight
I think it was intentionally vague...I hope someone makes one that really takes a chance and tries to be specific. I have seen Jericho and read Turner Diaries and One Second After. There are other books. I would like to reaD or see something based on the conditions that exist now. A lot has happened in the past few years.
The ANTIFA massacre was kept vague on purpose. You don't know if it's a massacre done by ANTIFA, or against ANTIFA. That's not what's important though, because the film is about how no one benefits in a civil war, and we all suffer because of it. The war journalists are there because they're the ones making sure that the real details of the war get out to the public. Everyone in these comments sections keep talking about how unrealistic it is or how they never said who was at fault, when that's not the point.
Basically, this movie tries to use the 1861 Civil War, which was a product of its time, in modern society. First, in 1861, States had their own armies (militias) which were independent of the Federal Army and had fought independently. Up until then, the USA had fought two foreign powers, Great Britain 1812-15, who at the time were so focused on Napoleon that they could only send a token force to North America, and Mexico 1846-48 who was not very powerful as they only became a nation in 1821. When Great Britain did invade the USA, states formed militias that fought alongside the US army. Today the National Guard (successors to the militias) are part of the Federal Army and can be nationalized instantly. The next issue is that most Americans are so dependent on Federal programs that with a quick snap of the Fed's fingers people will comply, examples are healthcare, education, transportation, welfare, housing, banking, finance, infrastructure, transportation, credit, etc. So no one would survive without these today. Back in 1861 communities were more localized and self-sufficient. The main issue for the Civil War, slavery was very divided by states. Most in free states wanted to end it while most in slave states wanted to keep it. No one issue divides states today.
There is now: wokeness
@@griver007able Yes, but being woke does not get a standing army or any force to last a long time. Whenever law enforcement cracks down they run away. Even the protesters at colleges last month or so wanted the comforts of home (iPhone, food deliveries, air conditioning). They are the same age as the Confederate soldiers 160 years ago. Imagine them going in the field without any comfort for 2 days (the ones 160 years ago went months without comfort).

This movie literally makes no sense. Literally do enough research and looking at the geopolitics of the US and other countries today, a civil war would not play out like this and many of the decisions in this film are so silly that it's silly to think some of these things are a possible outcome. The US literally has order of operations for an insurrection on the white house. The unison between Texas and Cali is so hilarious. The way the US is divided between state lines and ideals, a faction based civil war looks extremely likely where their are new lines for separation of states and violence breaks out between communities across states. Either new state lines are developed by law or military force is taken obviously.
The union between Cali and Texas is purposely absurd, because then the audience can't project a right/left ideology at either side fighting. The movie is not about the reason for fighting, it's about the moral absurdity of civil war viol*nce.
Cool story bro. 👍🏽
@@Fullmetal_christolet them larp with there buddies its for the best.😂
Civil wars make only sense in the begining......given enough time, people fight just because, or because they want to screw their neighbour from the next block, and not because some people that are thousends of miles away have some disagreement.
They don`t really care on wich side they are, as long as it is the opposite of their neghbours one
Then, there are the people who actually BENEFIT from war, and will make all they can to have it continued, because NOW they are a big fish, a warlord that can take whatever they want from whoever they want, and in the situation BEFORE they were just some poor suckers serving at Mc Donalds. They also don`t care for wich side they fight.
Finally when you have the first generation that grew up knowing nothing but war, considers it "buissnes as usuall", and is ACTUALLY AFRAID from peace, because it represents a situation they don`t know and for wich they don`t have any usefull skills, THEN you know you are royally scr*w*d, and that the war will go on till all resources are burned and all people are d*ad......
@@jorgebarriosmur Im sorry wtf are you talking about? "given enough time, people just fight because or because they want to screw their neighbor from the block, not because some people that are thousands of miles away have some disagreement."
Every major civil war in Africa the last 70 years blatantly contradicts your bs.... You really think the Rwanda Civil War was fought for 5 years because someone wanted to screw their neighbor? Bruh it was a genocide of an entire ethnicity of people - wtf are you talking about?! A rift STILL exists in that country between the two ethnicities 40 YEARS later
The most current civil war is the Tingray Conflict in Ethiopia. 478,000 dead....... You seriously think this level of destruction occurs because people are fighting just to fight or just screw their neighbor? Uh more like northern state of the country with a population of 5.8 million people want to secede from the rest of the country because of different cultural backgrounds and belief in more socialist governing systems as compare with the current ruling government.
This is the kind of movie you get when people like yourself have completely nonsensical beliefs of the history of cultures in this world.

What’s to come? Civil war isn’t happening, no matter how much the left wing radicals/anarchists and the other enemies of the US want it to happen
factually incorrect. the movie is much more of a warning, that if we dont deradicalize our political poles, the very idea of America would buckle under the weight of individuality
Brace for the steal. Biden will be re-elected with Michele Obama as VP, then Biden will resign, and Michele will be president and will choose Hillary Clinton for VP, then Michele will resign, and Hillary Clinton will be president and will choose Barack Obama as VP. Then, WWIII will begin.
More like art and reality both headed in similar directions, and can influence each other.

Thank you but scary stuff
Not a single person in this comment section has ever read a fictional book, and it really shows.
people complaining about "California and texas teaming up" don't know what a narrative element is
@@potatouno And to add that, many weird alliances happened throughout history. The British allied with the French and the Turks (historically enemies for centuries) against the Russians during the Crimean War is one example, the Second Sino Japanese war forced all the warring Chinese factions to unite against a common enemy, and the Spanish Civil war was a cesspool that would take me a long time to explain what's going on with the Republicans and Nationalists lol
So I'd say a California-Texas alliance is probable, even if it's cursed, haha.
3:16 That clearly wasn't Washington. They were somewhere around Virginia at that point.
I liked it. The urban combat scenes were decently good. The horrors of war coming to a 1st world country is disturbing to imagine.
I wish however, it was a bit longer and the ending did not seem so…abrupt. A post credit scene on what happens to the states now or where the journalists will go from here would have been nice. Especially since the Florida Alliance and New People’s Army didn’t show up.
Otherwise 8.5/10 for me.
So this is some parallel Earth where film photography is still a thing?
08:24 where mag?
What even is this movie supposed to be? Yes, I know what it’s called. But like do they ever explain why they’re fighting? You know why has this president seemingly lost control of the country?
According to the film plot on wikipedia, it's because the president got elected for a third term. Which pissed of some people. A third term president has only happened once during ww2 and he didn't make the full third term due to him passing away.
Why the war started:
-The president likely suspended the constitution to get his illegal 3rd term
-inflation is stupid high “$300 for a sandwich” said in the movie
- US looks like 3rd world country now, in NYC scene u see ppl barley having access to water & electricity
-President ordered airstrikes on his own civilians, whole towns bombed, who knows how many died
The movie is supposed to be an anti-war film, so there is no good or bad guy
It’s to show the horrors of war & why we should never fight ourselves
@@dark_unit2409 Such a cop out...... There have been plenty of war movies were both sides are shown to do horrendous crap, yet the films still explain wtf is going on. First 5 minutes of Saving Private Ryan you see 3 different scenes of Americans committing war crimes against POWs - not even germans.
So this bs of "were not gonna explain or provide any explanation cuz war is bad" is such nonsense....
@@MattBuild4 Saving Private Ryan is based on a true story first of all and second of all I don’t know if you’ve looked around, but America’s pretty divided right now and in a politically charged environment. .How do you suppose a civil war film that explains what started the civil war would fare? It would further polarize an already divided nation with one side saying “see! We are are the good guys you’re the bad guys.” That’s not the point of this movie to see who is good or bad the point is to see the needless death and destruction a civil war brings. Because there are people calling for violence in the real world. We do see some glimpses of the president taking a 3rd term , disbanding the FBI and launching. Air strikes on US citizens implying a facist government takeover that causes California and Texas ( 2 of largest economies in the country/ world) to join forces in the interest of defeating the White House, despite leaning politically opposite. This has happened in history before. Japan and Germany formed an unlikely alliance in WWII.

dumbass, the journalists were seen as vultures throughout the whole movie
In the movie they don’t take a side they just coldly take pictures of dead people
It was very loud movie. Damn near to the point of causing hearing damage. As far as the story went, well, if you see parallels to today who could blame you? The most haunting moment for me in the entire movie was that gas station scene. Three guys are standing there holding rifles. Nothing else. Except maybe torturing their buddies around back because they can get away with doing it. This is the kind of lawlessness proposed by some. Every man for himself. Vigilantism. Watching that scene I thought to myself that I hope it also sticks in the mind of other viewers, because what's more simple than pulling into a gas station today? Can you imagine that version of pulling up to a gas station? Just armed thugs standing there like "this is ours and we'll kill you to keep it"? No more open public parks and playgrounds. Life as WE know it, long gone. With us having no clue how to bring it back, because we inherited it all in the first place. People ask, "could it happen here?"
It's already started. Most people just can't recognize it yet. Frog in slow boiling water effect I guess. Who'll win? Since we lead the free world, nobody, especially Americans. To those who think they're disenfranchised and powerless now, wait until America is a tattered wasteland, and a shadow of its former self. That big superior military politicians love to lionize? Gone. The economy you rely so much on to define who you are and how you live? Gone. You crying about barely a percentage point of inflation? Normally inflation hovers around 2.5% to 3%. Currently it's at 3.85%. When fighting breaks out watch it go to 400%. Or how about your money being worthless? All those credit cards and HELOCS and lines of credit you use to extend and finance your current lifestyle? All gone overnight. It's all fiat currency anyway. Gold and silver won't do you any good either. We'll be back on the barter system. That stock market your 401k is tied up in? What do you think happens when our economic system collapses overnight? Our deterrence to enemies like China and Russia? C'mon. You think they're going to be afraid of half the United States? Or a third? While Americans are killing each other they'll be landing troops on both our shores, ready to help finish off whatever's left, carving our country up into their territories. The reality is that it's always been easier to destroy than to create. My advice is if you don't know how to rebuild it, don't break it in the first place.
That's this movie's warning, and it's message.
HOI4 alt history modders can make better story. Take "Make America Again" and "The Fire Rises" as example

Civil War is the movie's name.
Was the Dobly Atmos a least good during battles?
absolutely amazing. The entire movie itself really is great
Ya for about two whole minutes, this movie sucks ass
From what I've been able to piece together of this world in CIVIL War if kinda have a idea..
The president of the US had apparently won a third term, something that was considered not possible after WWII,
He dissolved the FBI and other agencies effectively making him and his party ruling the country in a dictatorship.
He used lethal force on American protestors, Apparently given that this use of lethal force was one of the primary reasons of the civil war its likely he used military force on multiple protest groups that wasn't for his regime.
Apparently he might have tried to crack down on states that did not conform to his regime, California and Texas being states that effectively run themselves didn't take well to that and rebelled. Both states also retain the largest armies in the Union in the form of their national guards. Given at the sheer anger and orders to kill him on site its likely the dictator directly attacked these states and didn't attack military forces but civilians.
Its likely the dictator , imprisoned soldiers that were citizens of those states and or executed them especially if they hesitated attacking there own states and citizens. This likely would result in desertion. Given that Western Forces appeared to have a variety of equipment that appeared to be fairly up to date its likely that regular army that were still loyal to the US original values defected to the Western Forces along with their equipment.
Like any dictatorship on its way out we see evidence of a propaganda campaign to hide the evidence of what was going on in the war. A map that showed the various factions and the remaining US one, lying about the actual number of states that turned.
although we don't truly see the dictatorships forces to much we do see that Western Forces, the Florida alliance and other factions apparently have no problems with journalist so long as they stay out of the way in a firefight. US forces were gunning anything that moved.
Imagine hearing the call out for a bomb, hiding not becuase of the chance of it being real but BECAUSE OF HOW MANY TIMES ITS BEEN REAL
I fear this reality and not for the reason you'd expect
The president would have escaped in a Rocket ship 🚀 months before they arrived to the White House 😂

There is no civil war coming, it's pure fear tactics and people wanting to drag others down with their problems instead of focusing on how to fix these problems. Guns, Video Games, Civil Discussions, and Rights aren't the problems but Illegal Immigration, High Taxes, Instigating wars for profit and oil, Resentment of the lower and middle working class, Mental health, and Narcotics are the primary issues
It was approved by the government & military in the first place,thus no back story or fo you think producers have such a free leg when it comes to stuff like this and just keep in mind who owns Hollywood…..
Where is Spiderman? 😂😂😂
Such a milquetoast plot. Writers were too scared to add in any that even resembles current events that would actually spark a civil war.
A interesting movie. Often confusing. But very well made.
Fiction may soon be reality

Absoltuely zero relation to that game, the division is centered around a biological terroist attack. Not a civil war
Fun fact:
Jesse Plemons character (disturbing crazy racist red sunglasses guy) was not originally meant for him.
For some reasons beyond their control the original actor dropped out last minute.

To be honest this movie show you a potential reality we all could face. For example, when Donald Trump lost the election in 2020. The riot that happened in the capital that was caused by trump supporters could be seen as an attempt overthrow the government because they didn’t want to accept that Trump lost. Let’s say it was successful in some sorts and Trump even had the support of the military. The country could quickly descend into Civil War.
Suspension of disbelief is one thing. Suspension of all cognitive and critical thinking ability is another entirely.

What was so artsy about this movie? The slow pace?
the soundtrack was AMAZING for the film. The first song is offbeat and eerie, and later on, they use contemporary rap and hip hop as a backdrop to today's culture being used as the "war music", like Fortune Son and Everybody Wants to Rule the World before it.

This is like Donald trump not wining the election in 2021
honestly, the fact that A24 has made a few politically based movies while remaining unbiased is something that almost no other studio has been successful with. Didn't they also make 'the hunt'? I mean that movie was very political, but still without taking one side or the other. Making both sides look cool and making them both look ignorant. That's kind of how this movie feels as well. I mean, quality of story plot aside, you got to admit, they're tip toeing a line that other production companies have a hard time doing these days.
Only in the Bronx
Didn't know Night Crawler 2 came out? Anyway, this movie was made due to referencing Trump, the people behind the project was trying not to confirm it, but everyone knows.

I wonder how you will live during a civil war.
If you think about it, Jesse saved Lee. She would let anyone die and document it, she was clearly dead inside. Saving her brought her humanity back because she cared about another and tried to save her. Then she dies but with her soul restored instead of empty and depressed.

@@davidsegal2236 lmfao way to show you only saw the movie and didn't watch it
We'll see how "improbable" this all is. It seems we've voted for it, ultimately.
I understand that journalism is shit.

What this movie name?
“Civil War”
For future reference, this channel posts the name of the video in the description.
Don’t waste your time watching the movie
This movie is already unrealistic when California and Texas are united against the federal government
I must disagree with those who are saying the California/Texas alliance is absurd and impossible. The film takes place not today but in the near future. With thousands of Californians and New Yorkers moving to Texas and other red states for economic reasons it’s perfectly possible that Texas could someday turn purple or even blue, as Arizona has. So a Texas/California alliance is by no means impossible at some point t in the future.
