    This movie is designed to teach us a lesson and that is “nobody wins in war” in the end the president is assassinated the western forces have won the troops are seen in good spirits with happy music in the background they’ve taken over DC but did they really win? The war left the entirety of America torn in pieces, many are left without home struggling to survive. Alot of death is yet to come as Western forces tries to get the rest of America to surrender. The whole country is like a lawless wasteland with no regard for human life. In the end nobody wins all that’s left is a still divided country and a dead president. The lack of information also contributes to the lesson as it’s not mentioned by anybody why they’re fighting it must not be a good reason showing that the war is pointless and nobody wins.

    Civil War was an ok movie, however, the script, specifically the backstory did not explain enough about how the conflict started. The story didn't address any political questions about why the Civil War occurred because the President's character, the main antagonist was not developed. If you have a great actor like Nic Offerman then use him. The Western Forces also needed a character to explain why Texas and California succeeded from the USA. The journalist's screen time should have been cut down drastically in the movie. Civil Movie had too many unanswered questions.

    The ending was forced. They could just have moved out of the fire. It was unnecessary and predictable. Every death was.
    I think most of the nation already didn't participate, not even whole D.C. was part of the fighting. If the Western Forces reinstate the original USA with a reformed constitution, that would make impeachment easier, the country could heal again. After that the hunt for war criminals begins. The universal pardon after the first civil war is one reason for the current division after all. And was probably the biggest mistake Lincolns. Even though it was an understandable one. But criminals on both sides could just move on and became influential spreaders of hatred and propaganda that poisoned the minds of future generations. I mean, I read history books of several different states. Every single one is political colored and none of them actually portrait real scientific conclusions. For example: there are school texts from the South that are scientifically wrong and ignore historical documents that falsify their claims and they still teach it. That's just morally wrong, no matter how you look at it. No matter what political opinion you have.
    Fact is the Founding Fathers intended the current system on the premises that future leaders are integer people, with a political well educated population. People like Nixon, Clinton, Bush or Trump (I don't try to be political here) who use every grey are they can find and the current division of the political parties, because of politically biased media (like FOX and CNN) and social media algorithms (pretty much all of them), were never part of that picture they have drawn for their nation. The current political structure is not able to handle that sort of pressure and societal change and needs to be modernised.
    English is not my native language, so please forgive spelling errors. I'm from Germany and we also have political problems, but our democracy is younger. We had time to learn from failures and created a political structure that is somewhat able to adept to current times. Yes, there is discussion and worse, but it seems to be goal oriented.
    Sadly, I don't see that in the US anymore. Only, ideological and profit driven infighting. No matter of Republican or Democrats.

    The girl with them ruined the fun of the movie. The little brat got everyone killed, including Lee. Her role annoys me. Is the beast really that easy to destroy? Is it possible that the White House doesn't have an underground escape system known only to the president for emergencies like this? And why does it have to be the black soldiers who must kill the president? And what was the rest of the world like China, Russia and expecially NATO allies doing during this war... Overall, I think its a great movie in terms of picture quality, but story line with basic info is completely zero so with your permission, I rate this movie 3/10 and that is me being considerate.

    You say the President had "fascist" beliefs. What makes it 'fascist'. I never heard anything in the movie pointing towards that. More like he was overstaying his two terms and now in a third term. There was literally nothing else as information. He could have been any political side, but he just became dictatorial.
    I don't even know on what side the red glasses Jesse Plemmons was on. Was he loyalist? US military under the President? Florida alliance. It was never made clear.
    Those were slightly annoying. I don't need to know the politics, but I kind of just wanted to know what side some of these groups were on.
    At the end of the movie it also just ends so Western forces winning doesn't mean end of the civil war or that things will be better.
    But that was Garland's point. That civil war is bad and no one should want it.

    He REALLY keeps the movie vague as the politics go.
    If you look at it the "loyalist" states would be basically "blue states" in real life. Florida alliance would be mostly Red states and so would Texas. California clearly a blue state.
    So the President in office doesn't seem likely to actually be conservative given the "loyalist" states supporting him.
    But that is Garland's point or trick it's all just a jumbled incoherent mess to have any clear cut politics of which party is which etc.
    He mostly just wanted to show horror of civil war. I mean the actions on all sides are pretty bad and brutal. Of course some worse than others like the Jesse guy. But at the same times, the Western forces just execute everyone in their way, no trials or surrender etc either.

Assuming the WF does defeat the FA and NPA and don't tear themselves apart in the process they still have to get to the hard part by dealing with the obvious insurgency all across America. What most likely happens next is another ten to twenty years of War and insurgency ultimately ending with a very fragile peace and a high probability that not all of the territory that made up the former US joins the new union under the Western Forces if they are even still around.

    This movie does not explain the cause of the coming US Civil War, which should be the reason why Garland made this movie. One must know the conflicts and root causes that led up to the coming civil war. Without an explanation, the movie story flops. It is not realistic, and no one knows the cause of why they are fighting, who the enemy is, and why the US government became so authoritarian. No one knows how biased the US military is toward one side or the other. No one knows what triggered the civil war. California and Texas currently have extremely opposing political views and would never join forces against the US government if they continued to be political foes. No one knows how a new civil war will make the US vulnerable to foreign aggression if China takes over Taiwan or if Russia takes over the former Soviet-block countries while the US is in a civil war. No one knows realistically what states will secede from the union or how they will form a united army to defend themselves against the Federal government. The movie mentions nothing about the Constitution or what happened to the three branches of government. For a very probable and realistic cause of another US Civil War, read "The Coming Tyranny: How Socialism Will Lead to Civil War in the United States."
