  • On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by SPECIAL GUEST Alex Garland, Writer and Director of CIVIL WAR. Alex is known for his thought-provoking storytelling and intricate narratives. He has directed acclaimed films like Ex Machina (2014), Annihilation (2018), and Men (2022), while also penning scripts for hits such as 28 Days Later (2002), Sunshine (2007), and Dredd (2012). His most recent film, Civil War, is an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razor's edge. Civil War is now playing exclusively in theatres in Canada by Elevation Pictures and in the U.S. by A24. ‪@ElevationPics‬ ‪@A24‬

    The worst part is I was like "who is this fucker" only to find out I like like all his movies. So I am just disappointed I guess. Imagine if they did anything else how cool it would've been.

    It just occurred to me: how would Mr. Garland feel if an American filmmaker made a movie called Civil War that took place in Ireland, but makes no mention of Catholics, Protestants or loyalty or lack thereof towards Britain and instead makes up some vague convoluted scenario that deliberately ignores existing regional affiliations? How would the Irish feel about an American director telling a story that implies that Ireland’s actual history and contentious issues don’t matter and the real problem is simply that people disagree on things and war is bad?

    It is beyond irresponsible to make such a movie, at this time in history. It could embolden real life terrorists, and "normalize" this unthinkable idea.

      Yeah watch the film. It’s very clearly anti-war.

      @@mdutch426 PTSD would prevent me from watching it. [Edit: I will read a synopsis.] I understand that it is perhaps meant as a cautionary tale? yet there will be Trumpers etc. who don't understand that level - it could become their unironic template or source of ideas.

      Bro, if seeing children get amputated without anesthetic isn't gonna do it what's a movie gonna do? People don't care.
