Thank you for your support!
I really enjoyed Civil War. It's still one of my favorite MCU movies. Arguably RDJ's best Tony Stark performance.
Even though I know it’s a joke, this is a really sound opinion and I agree.
I thought it really showed the opposing developments from previous movies: of Captain America from representing a nation to now not trusting official organisations, and iron man from a liberal (the other definition), through creating a villain, and now not wanting to bear responsibility over his powers.
and man go big, spiderman stronk, manbot does head lazer, and so forth
Adum hasn’t seen it
True
I thought it was boring except for spiderman
Civil War confused the shit out of me because I walked out of it having taken away the message “journalists like those depicted in this film are vultures who prey upon misery and bloodshed to advance their own careers/egos/desire for thrills, and only by taking a stance, by doing more than being a neutral observer, can they hope to save lives.”
… I then read Alex Garland’s comments on his own movie, where he stated he wanted to make a film where journalists are the heroes, and that he thinks journalists should be neutral. I’m absolutely baffled.
Hollywoodians being out of touch from reality, story as old as film making.
I mean the movie is clearly pro war journalist. That or it is like some troll to portray unhinged shit in a good light just to fuck with people.
"these five kids seem basically interchangeable" is just a state of being over 30
IGN gave Sasquatch Sunset a 10/10. Whatever they did there speaks to SOMEONE
ign "theres something for everyone" meme lives forever
At least it’s not a 7/10 for them.
I feel like this would be a good segue into talking about Quest for Fire
@@stevengodoy6896 Now there's a movie I haven't thought about in YEARS...
People still give attention to that site? Interesting.
Sasquatch Sunset and Gasoline Rainbow sound like band names
Accurate
God you people are boring. Everything sounds like a band name…
@@ErenThorne Well when you consider what sort of goofy names a lot of bands have, yeah, these unironically do sound like band names.
@@Imhere510 civil war sounds like a band name. Everything sounds like a band name. It’s a redundant comment.
@@ErenThorne Nobody is saying everything sounds like a band name. That's what you're saying buddy. All I said is that considering some of the goofy names bands I've seen, yeah, Sasquatch Sunset and Gasoline Rainbow sound like they'd be actual band names.
Sasquatch Sunset gives off "Yeah, we could probably make our own Swiss Army Man" vibes.
Genuinely shocked he gave Civil War a 6/10 when he basically spent most of the time saying he didn't like the protagonists and that the overall story was really shallow and purposely made to not have a meaning outside of "Fighting each other bad"
Well I think he was also praising the filmmaking a lot and he said he didn't regret watching it. Although I agree with you that the film essentially not having a narrative, backstory, or characters makes it kind of pointless. You're just watching light and hearing sound, where is the substance even if the light and sound are heavenly?
I guess he was just disappointed that it didn't go certain directions.
I also remember him insisting on doing number scores specifically because he wants to give an indication of how much he overall thought of it in case he came off as more positive or negative than intended.
Its just a braindead concept in the first place. War is inherently political. You can't make a non political war movie.
@@kainoawaikiki2614 you can if you just want to incite civil unrest and want people, regardless of any politics, to latch onto the possibility of a civil war
@@obscure.reference Now why would anyone want to do that. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Apparently Civil War is gonna be the first A24 movie that my town's two screen theater will show. That's something I guess. Oh, and the other movie they're showing that week is a Shrek 2 re-release.
They’re always pitting two bad bitches against each other. Lol honestly most tension I’ve ever felt in a theater audience is whenever that CW Trailer plays
You know what you must do then...
But thats so much better than the big budget movies that are coming out recently
Go watch the better movie.
Shrek 2.
@@luiginastro8831 Fuck yeah!
There's a movie called Aaaaaah! by Steve Oram and it's a bunch of British actors acting and speaking like gorillas but while being completely human in physical appearance.
That movie rules, got myself kicked out of a university movie club for screening it.
@@Garbageman28that is amazing
@@Garbageman28might have to watch this now
The Civil war is apolitical, because it's based on an average western person perception of all these wars in the world that you hear about on the news. Complex conflict on ethnic, political, societal, religious and economic grounds that are just reduced to "people are just fighting the goverment because it's bad."
It's a movie made from the ignorant perspective of the media that just boiled down conflicts across the globe to nothingness, like the Syrian civil war. It doesn't matter who the sides are, just that war is bad and people die in it.
Finally someone gets this. People keep going “uh wtf, Cali and Texas!?? No way bro. So unrealistic.”
The purpose is to be anti war and not play on easy modern political tension for easy $$$ and attention.
@@IF2XboxGamingVids Cali + Texas is extremely believable, they have a very high immigration rate between the 2 states, and they are both highly populous and wealthy states. Maybe on ideological grounds they would find it hard but on economic grounds it's believable they'd be allies.
Okay I get that to an extent but wars are very much not apolitical and your war movie message being "war is bad regardless of why" I think is a very centrist neoliberal perspective that ignores reality and is ultimately an unhelpful position to take. Yes wars are bad but why they happen does matter and what the conflict is about does impact my perspective on the validity of that war*
*Not arguing against you just adding my perspective.
The president is completely based on Trump and a big chunk of the people against him are inmigrants, there´s nothing apolitical on that film.
I liked the film. To me it was about war journos more than anything else
Sasquatch seems like a movie that was made by rich nepo babies who thought "it wud be ha-larious if we made a movie about big foot". And because they could, they did, and now they are exceedingly proud of themselves for their 'weirdness'.
Exactly - and that it is really bad was "on purpose" *wink*
6/10 btw
Imo a 6 was too high.
I’m looking forward to it. I’m not even sure anyone is involved is a nepo baby but it’s not like those people aren’t capable of transcendent art. The Gen Z obsession with that term is getting old already
That describes a lot of arthouse films from my view
I always assumed California & Texas joined forces because they're, from what I understand, the highest GDP states in the country. So if Ron Swanson president raised taxes/did something to earn their ire from a financial standpoint, then I could kinda see them going 'enemy of my enemy' and rallying together because of that. But that's my two-cents.
I think you meant "ire" not ilk.
I like the theory though.
@@synthetic240 Yeah looking back, I thought ilk was a verb. It's more a noun. Thanks.
If that’s what actually happens in the film that would be worse for me than just factions existing as Adum describes.
Just find it fascinating a world in which those 2 states combined, just to have it not be addressed as to why.
@@jonbaxter2254 I guess Garland figured the why wasn't as important when telling the story. Though even something simple as newsreel montage footage a la intro of 2004 Dawn of the Dead would have helped.
Love that we’ve been getting these quickie reviews back!
Love that we've been getting these quickies back! /sexual
Good morning Adum Horseman
Are you the horse from your movie sucks?
the adam from sucking around
Jesse Eisenberg really gunning for that Oscar nom, huh
Dang, it looks like the Spermworld director should have done the Alex Jones one.
tbf it seems the movie is elevated by its footage, audio, lighting etc, presumably requiring a good working relation with it's subjects, and Adum says it was also made better by not telling you what to think. So covering a big topic like that might be harder, and it would be irresponsible to cast Jones as morally ambiguous.
Sasquatch sounds like a film that only a movie critic could stomach. Imagine spending money for some shit like that?
I think it sounds amazing
I would tbh I’d probably take friends with me too I think it sounds funny
It ended up being a deeply disturbing but also inspiring and emotional film? I'm not sure what to make of it, all I know is that it made me feel things and it executed everything that it wanted to as a film very effectively. Unfortunately though, that includes the dick jokes and gross out humor. Still, I can honestly say that I got more out of Sasquatch Sunset than Civil War somehow.
Nathan Zellner was part of the original Rooster Teeth crew iirc, he's even in some of the first RT Shorts!
Let’s keep that quiet lol
OK, that first movie sounds awful.
It's weird, but I kind of like the makeup effects. It's like they wanted every member of the cast to look like Sabertooth from X-Men 1.
Why can’t we just get a good Bigfoot movie? The only halfway decent one is Harry and the Hendersons
Harry and the Hendersons prequel
@@tanner201x8 This is the good bigfoot movie, if you can get past the gross out humor. It genuinely succeeds at being an amazing film about what it would be like to watch an animal planet documentary about sasquatches in between all the jokes
@@tanner201x8Missing Link is a cute movie that has Bigfoot in it.
I respect the fact that you travel far and wide to attend these film festivals to be able to give us a first look at lesser known movies. I understand that you’d rather be at home, so it is appreciated that you go out of your way to bring this to us.
The Sasquatch movie seems like it could be a deliberate insult to Cocaine Bear.
edit: Civil War being apolitical is what I expected, seems like a total waste of time
and that bears repeating.
Yet I would not be surprised if someone like critical drinker starts complaining Civil War is too political anyway simply because it sets foot in that subject matter and has a female lead.
agree with the edit. i was hoping for the movie to have something to say; looks like a skip to me.
Personally I'm glad it was apolitical. It would have been insufferable if either side had some film like this to point to to justify their political angst.
@@zxt5148 you're the problem my man
Civil War doesn’t dive into politics?? Why would Garland direct this movie ?🤦♂️especially with this theme(if it doesn’t have much to say)
Im still watching it though.
to incite civil unrest
To be fair if they did a left is bad, right is bad, or centerist is bad moto in the trailer it would've not sold well and mabye not go through a theatrical release. I mean like at the Hunt for example.
The film is extremely political, Adum didn't catch a lot of the subtleties
@@firstnamelastname816 then im hyped again
@@firstnamelastname816there is 0 context given. The only political message was "mass killing minorities bad".
When I found out the plot for Civil War would not be about actual political and social tensions within the US, but instead an alternate reality where they can just dance around the actual reasons a lot of insane people in my country want to murder each other, my immediate thought was "So it's Far Cry 5 again". Just a politically toothless narrative that uses a genuinely interesting setup to do anything but address the implications of that setup.
Cowards one and all.
I mean, I didn’t mind, and I expected that.
DMZ is a fantastic comic about a 2nd civil war in an alternate America where people create a rebel faction over the country going downhill in general.
The point is that the reasons for the war don’t matter, the politics behind the war didn’t mean anything to me when I was walking through alleyways in Afghanistan
I think Civil War missed its mark because although it’s a movie about journalists, you learn nothing about any of the people in this war or what’s going on. The characters being journalists was a gimmick because they never actually did any journalism or investigation
EDIT: if none of the characters were journalists and were just random people tagging along, how much different would the movie had been?
I feel like people are missing the point. The movie is clearly less about the civil war and more about the journalism, it takes up a majority of the screen time. There are a lot of examples that make it obvious that its commentary about journalism and I kind of got the sense that I was feeding into that message by watching the violent things happen on screen
@@MnemonicHeadTrip I mean for a movie about journalism you don’t really learn anything about anyone
If all the characters were just normal dudes tagging along the movie would’ve been the same
So you just wanted political propaganda?
I see a lot of people complain about the California/Texas alliance in Civil War, both states have massive economies, share a border with Mexico, and have acces to the oceans, and while people in the big cities are more democrat, in the rural areas are more republican. Both aren't so different in the end.
“Texas-California Alliance”
I get the feeling the writers of this film don’t keep up with American politics
This was intentional
California actually produced Rush Limbaugh and literally everywhere outside of the big cities is red as hell. It's not -that- far off.
It's alternate history, so it's not *our* texas and california.
@@rgw7345 there is no amount of suspension of disbelief that can make a Texas-California alliance convincing even IN an alternate universe lmao
@@luigiwiiUU it depends on the divergence point.
Oh hey, I saw the Octopus Project live at an Explosions in the Sky show!
They were great!
I love these group reviews of yours. They give me a lot of recommendations for films I would never had heard of otherwise, even things you mention offhand as a point of reference. Spermworld looks super interesting and I'm 100% gonna check it out now.
On the note of don’t take your grandma to the Sasquatch movie, I once took mine to see ‘Sorry to Bother You’ not knowing anything about it and boy did I regret it
I had a feeling Civil War was gonna play it safe. Seems like a movie that could have been made in the 2000s and I'm actually fine with it. The more you try to tie it to current issues and try to "say" something, the higher the risk of pissing off half of the country, and since movies are made by Hollywood, we know which half is gonna be pissed.
Gotta love YMS. Very much a real film critic - terribly written film where the point of every scene is that something gross happens, but it's got cool sound design and is sort of "funny." 6/10
I couldn’t be more glad that you’re watching The Curse. It seemed to fly under the radar and I can’t wait to see what you think of it. It’s a masterclass in making you uncomfortable.
Speaking of Spermworld, the director also had an HBO show premiere at SXSW called Ren Fair and it was fantastic. If you enjoyed his last two, Ren Fair will not disappoint.
I live up where this was filmed, and Jesse came into my work, twice actually. He talked about how he was dressing up in a giant sasquatch outfit and jumping into rivers. Nice guy
On Civil War: People seem to want a "civil war would be THEIR fault" movie to validate everything they already believe but a "hey guys a civil war would be really really really bad" movie was what they wanted to make.
You can criticize the ways they tried to deliver that message and it's not like they were subtle about it, but I don't think they made a mistake at all by trying to make the exact causes ambiguous and separated from any parallels that are too obvious.
I mean you can say "it tried to appeal to everyone" but IMO it makes for a more productive message precisely because it's way more likely to be heard by someone who you'd want to hear it.
couldn't have been said better
Agreed
Thank you! Finally someone who gets it!
It seems like everyone wanted a "This guy obviously bad guy cause it's my opposition, RAH" kind of movie.
But I found the characters to be likeable.
The depiction of PTSD was really good.
See the characters progress was great.
The younger photographer going from scared to taking too many risks for her job.
The seasoned veteran photographer slowly breaking down with every snap of her camera.
The sound design was amazing, and tense scenes were tense.
It's a story about PEOPLE, and how events like this would affect them, and not so much the event itself.
Kind of a shame about Civil War. Going purely off Adum's description, so I haven't seen it and I'm looking forward to it. But from his description, I hoped this movie had more bite to it and a deeper exploration of the current political climate.
I remember seeing the trailer for Sasquatch Sunset and thinking "Wow is this a mockumentary? Wow if they did a documentary-style film and played it as totally sincere it would be very such a unique and intere- Oh, no, they're screwing, it's going to be toilet humor. That's disappointing."
If you can stomach the gross out humor it's actually a very good movie
@@MnemonicHeadTrip No thanks, I'll wait for someone to make a sincere heatfelt mockumentary of a cryptid and die waiting lol
@@apollofell3925 beggars can’t be choosers
@@MnemonicHeadTrip I choose not to watch sasquatches bone
@@apollofell3925 well do you want a nature mockumentary where Sasquatch eat and forage and bang or another Harry and the Henderson’s lol? I definitely didn’t want it to be a toilet humor comedy but it somehow manages to come closer to a mockumentary than any other movie despite that huge flaw
I've been friends with Bill and Turner since 2008, and it's so cool to see you review one of their films! I had no idea coming into this video, either! What a world...
I'm going to pass on that Sasquatch movie.
I’ll see it.
Enjoy. 🙃@@thecinematicmind
Ok?
@@DevilMaskMedia🙃
It was super fun to run into you during my volunteer shift right before Sasquatch Sunset. Glad to hear we got the same experience from it, hahah.
Bro the Octopus Project was that one indie band I found randomly on reddit. Their shit is fire and they’ve been going for a long time without a break.
I had to do a double take @21:08 because the logo for Sperm Donation USA almost looks like Sanic.
can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Curse.
Noice, watching YMS summoned him
Aw that’s legitimately disappointing about Civil War.
Had no idea that it was an alternate universe, and for them to not develop the reason for why the different factions exist, and why they’re fighting sounds like a big let down.
Yeah, oddly pointless as there is no film like it. Still will watch it but meh
Is it surprise tho? Considering the themes of his previous movies, a topical political commentary would be one of the last things he seem to be interested in. I hope it's good, but I have the feeling it's going to get very mixed reviews, like his earlier movies, as it's not really what people expected.
A “topical” film with a corny political message would not age well and would not be very interesting, but tbf neither is what we got
Nathan Zellner also worked on Red vs Blue. He voiced Andy the Bomb. It's cool seeing how far he came along.
I was in the express line for Monkey Man and saw you walking by to the end. I was like "holy shit that's YMS" and no one else knew who you were lol. Sorry you couldn't see it, lines were fucking long for SXSW this year.
Also, I kinda liked the subversion of Civil War being less about politics and more of a commentary/celebration/love letter to war/combat photojournalism. It was very much the vibe of "this is what is happening currently overseas" with the set piece being the US. I feel like part of the point was to maintain a sense of neutrality from the POV for the photojournalists. I think the overall moral was left up in the air but the line where Kirsten Dunst is like "we don't do anything about this, we take pics so other people can do something about it" was definitely there to provoke discussion on the ethics of combat photojournalism. I had a friend who had a similar take as you though, and felt a bit disappointed or that it was a missed opportunity that they did not go political with it, but I think that was part of the point.
I saw Civil War last night, and I really liked it. I found the characters engaging, and I felt like it didn’t need to have a political edge to it. It’s about journalism, which is meant not to favor one side or faction. So idk.
Whoa, Bridge Stewart was in The Last Brunch! I love his RUclips stuff. Had no idea he was getting some serious roles
Was excited for the Civil War Review. Came out wanting to see the Black Box Diaries
Sad that Garland probably got held back - I imagine it probably wasn’t him deciding to avoid uncomfortable situations, based on his previous directing and writing work.
Annihilation and Dredd are huge favourites of mine precisely because they weren’t creatively smothered. Squandered resources to make something without sharp edges like Civil War.
Man. I’ve been so excited for civil war, this review has me a bit worried
Me too, seems like the movie doesn’t have a lot to say about politics and doesn’t take any stance. Thats crazy considering the director and the theme
@@bat1579I thought with Alex sticking to his guns in Men and it being A24 it wouldn’t be as compromised as it would with one of the big studios but glad this is tempering my expectations.
same *sigh*
@@Kevo6492 exactly especially after “Men”. Garland really went for it in that movie
so dissapointed that from what you're saying my hopes for civil war actually saying something and explaining how they got there did not come true. I liked the Alex Jones Doc on streaming and do recommend it honestly.
Thank you for the Spermworld rec, I don’t think I would have found out about it otherwise❤️
17:00 - I'm Australian and even I know this map is a load of crap. Texas succeeding is one thing but joining forces with California??
I could buy rural California retaking the capital and joining forces with Texas. Despite the cities being very left, you forget that millions of right wingers also live there, especially in nocal.
or y’all can just let a movie be a movie, jesus. all of y’all complaining are acting like garland wrote a film based off a real event lmao
Seceding*
@@dir.byliam Yeah, I can't believe how someone would have the gall to complain about major plot points in a movie being nonsensical.
@@Lorenzo_I. so no movie ever is allowed to be a little nonsensical? if this isn’t our universe, why can’t garland have some fun with the rules of his FAKE, MOVIE world?
it’d be one thing if garland was trying to make a near-future dystopia set in our timeline. but it isn’t. he can fuck around and make up rules he wants.
the fact that they don't even explore the ideologies of the factions in civil war is seriously disappointing for me to hear.
You sound like the type of person who enjoys the prequels more than the original trilogy.
@@jakemitchell9853 could not care less about star wars
The point is the conflict itself. Not the ideologies.
It would be cool to see the backstory of the conflicts that led to the strange alliances, but then it opens up a whole box of politics and moral arguments that the director wasn’t interested in exploring.
He is more focused on showing how horrific war is, who is “right” isn’t the point when everyone is suffering.
@@IF2XboxGamingVids if you're making a revisionist history film that is exploiting todays political climate, then the "lore" is going to be your biggest strongsuit. even modern warfare 2 took the time to explain the origin of the conflict. If I'm only watching to see the horrors of war I might as well rewatch come and see.
I understand if Garland didn't wanna do that though. I just think that would have been a far more interesting film.
@@IF2XboxGamingVidsthe point isn’t even the war for better or worse. It kinda just seems like commentary on journalism
I love when YMS does these Film Festival videos.
oh man the octopus project slaps. they also did the score for kumiko the treasure hunter. i might watch sasquatch just for that.
Sasquatch Sunset seems to be a prequel to the GDQ Awful Block classic Urban Yeti
I was not expecting to hear someone ever mention Urban Yeti again.
Civil War makes me roll my eyes, I can't shake the feeling that it's like they wanted to capitalize on that insane time period from 2016 to 2021 where everyone was losing their shit over politics, but it's already 2024. Too with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea constantly poking us with a stick saying "come on, do a civil war already", the timing is still as cringe as if it came out in 2016.
Yep sounds like a typical Alex Garland joint.
I actually really enjoyed that America was meerly a backdrop in Civil War. I loved that it was more about the dangers of war photography and could focus on the characters rather than the implications and motives of the war itself. It feels like whoever made it really wanted to make a war photography film first, and the idea of it being set in the US was secondary, which i enjoyed personally. War films really impact me for some reason, and I was 100% locked in the whole film. Personally it was 10/10 for me, the best film Ive gone to see in theaters in a long time.
Sasquatch Sunset is my favorite Fiddler on the Roof song
Lowkey really hyped for Gasoline Rainbow, since I’m an Oregon boi
You know, "fighting each other is bad" is pretty much exactly the message that americans need. It sounds ridiculous to everyone else, but few other 1st world countries have that level of patriotism. The choices that Alex Garland took, seem very intentional to me. He pretty much wants to bring this message without hitting anyone over the head with it and that is a very difficult task for a writer/director...
Just watched you on Foreign’s video. Good stuff 💜🖤
The way you described "Gasoline Rainbow" reminded me of the episode of American Dad! called Independant Movie (Season 10 Episode 6) where Steve and his friends go on a road trip to Snot's Dad's funeral.
I sat behind Adam at Civil War and was waiting for his thoughts on it.
Wait the Civil War movie wasn't a fake trailer? 🙃
Thanks for the recs great video
Personally, one One of my favourite aspects of Civil War was the fact that you have no idea where this conflict originated, or what the political alignment of any of its characters are. It reminds me of the Cormac McCarthy quote “Before man was, war waited for him.” Conflict in its own right is the subject, and is not submitted to value judgments of good and evil. Despite the cruel senselessness of it, it remains both natural and inevitable.
Every time we see violence on screen, the perpetrators of it do so with a smile on their face, as if the violent act in itself is the thing that fulfills them, above and beyond whatever cause or alliance they stand behind. Our protagonists are photographers, looking to exploit the conflict for its artistic value, no doubt to contribute to their own commercial success and prestige, not to mention the thrill they derive from it. Garland probably sees himself in Jesse and Lee, as he too utilizes art to exploit the violent nature of man, alongside the atrocities of war, in order to derive from it something that stimulates his interest and creativity. If war is inevitable, then none of us can forsake our participation, and at the end of the day, no claim to the rightful side of history is an objective one.
I loved this/these reviews. I really like the 10 point review system where you are saying if it’s closer to the number above or below. I am going to put on that short comedy right after this.
"Watch it and make your own mind" is about what I expected from any Garland movie review... 😄
Your description of Sasquatch Sunset reminds me of one of my dad's favorite movies, Quest for Fire. It's about neanderthal cavemen going on a journey to find more fire after the one they had blows out. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I remember it being a bit gross with a sex scene, and I don't think there's any dialogue at all, since the cavemen haven't developed a spoken language yet. Sounds like it could be a similar experience of a movie.
It's an awesome movie if you don't mind that kind of humor. I personally wish it didn't go in that direction though, because every other scene is really incredible
I wish the documentary had shown the moment where Alex Jones, on his show, still said that he still thinks Sandy Hook was fake during the Connecticut trial.
Source please.

“and more!” is so funny lol
Alex garland has been on my radar since 28 Days Later. Love him as a writer and director so was keen to see Civil War.
I'm glad Adum got to see And More! while he was there but I wish he got to see And Even More!! because that one was pretty great.
Sasquatch Sunset getting a higher rating than Dune pt 1 is peak trolling 😂
kind of knew civil war was just going to be good looking schlock that fails at being anti-war because it has to look cool instead of real. when they released the map to show the different factions it had me rolling my eyes. It's a situation obviously so improbable. Looks just as dumb as Red Dawn.
I mean, the director isn’t stupid. I don’t think it was anything but intentional
Sasquatch Sunset sounds like someone took the Wookie segments of the Star Wars Holiday Special and tried to make a feature length film out of it for shits and giggles.
Such a facile dissection on Civil War
Lets goo!! Im just glad I'm early to see this:)
So Sasquatch Sunset is essentially just the Star Wars Holiday Special?
Are we gonna get a Oscar video? I’ve been avoiding the clips
I genuinely enjoyed Civil War, I wasn’t planning on seeing it but my buddy was pumped for it. I would personally give it a 7-7.5 out of 10. Though the story isn’t as deep as I hoped, I genuinely enjoyed some of the character interactions and fucking loved the cinematography of it all.
I reading martha washington right now and after watching this, the comic seems to be doing this concept much better
Loved civil war. I see you points but I didn’t mind that the characters acted as ambivalent vessels for the horror road trip to unfold before us
That zoom in on Minnie Me almost ended my life
I think civil war was a great character study actually. The younger woman over time practically became the blond woman (forgot the names lol) and the hunt for the absolute 100% perfect shot, which artists want, was well put. Great camera angles, only the gun shots sounded a bit off here and there and at times "Hollywoodesque". Good watch.
Of all the positives I could take from Sasquatch Sunset, the biggest is being reminded of The Octopus Project. Hello, Avalanche is one of my all-time favorite albums.
6:44 You really love to bring up that movie into discussion for no apparent reason. Your guilty pleasure movie.
I saw Civil War in theaters today and was blown away. The most I have been impacted in a theater seat in years and Im not even from the US. Amazingly shot and amazing sound design. Many scenes had me on the edge of my seat. And Adam kinda misunderstood some things in my opinion. The film feels apolotical because it's meant to represent what we see every day on the news. Conflict in nations far away from the western world were people die horribly and we have no idea what is really going on. That's why theres also scenes of that in flashbacks in the movie of the protagonists carreer. The movie is summed up perfectly by the dialogue between the characters and the two snipers on the road. Why does it matter which side you are on? What matters is there's a person in the house ahead shooting at you, and you wanna shoot them.
Thank you Adam
Adam, have you watched Devs also made by Garland? I don't remember if you ever talked about it
Hey @YMS i was the person who said Hi to you at the civil war premiere, nice to meet you!
19:36 Im assuming you don't mean the voice actor who played an assload of famous cartoon villains. He's still one of the best Dr. Robotniks.
I watched Civil War last week. I think the main characters are definitely the worst part of the film, but I also think there is something to be said about journalists being the lens through which all of us observe conflicts, safe from it all, on our wide screens, in our airconditioned houses. There is a parallel between that relationship and the relationship between the 4 "little turds" and the movie's audience. I also take issue with the criticism that the message of "war bad" is a shallow one. It's not just "War Bad". It's also "how do you feel now that all those conflicts that you have been observing from the safety of western prosperity finally come to your lawn?". The fact that many of the reviews I have seen so far get hung up on the Texas-California Alliance shows me that we care less about the very basic horrors of such a conflict than we let on.
