Americans acting like they don’t make movies about other countries with little or no research but hey it’s only an issue when it comes to America
Give examples as egregious as this
@@rainbowremo1he’s gonna provide the alternative facts
@@rainbowremo1 U571
@@rainbowremo1Oliver Stone’s Alexander
@@rainbowremo1it's not even egregious months ago they announced that they didn't want this to parallel real life and wanted only to show the horrors of civil war.
In some of the promotion they even said don't expect the map or politics to to be accurate they were made nonsensical on purpose to stop it from taking a side or feeling preachy.
There’s a line in the movie that Kirstin says about how every photo she took was a warning she sent home; “don’t do this.” The movie is intentionally light on details because it’s a warning. The details don’t matter. Don’t do this.
This! I don't know how she didn't get this, to me this movie was very shallow but this is literally the only thing that it said ha.
“War is bad” being the only thesis is so insulting to its adult audience. A movie with this big of budget that takes itself this seriously should offer a little more than that.
@@user-eg2mf5xy9v disagree. it's the context as well as the execution that makes it effective. seeing historical or fictional war, as told by a soldier or specific warring faction allows you to 1 - think it doesn't apply to you and 2 - feel like you're on the side of the good guys. this movie doesn't allow for either of those perspectives.
Don’t do what though?
@jgdgbhf You got it. It doesn't say who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. It's saying, 'Don't let this happen in our country'.
As someone who has family who have just fled a civil war, this movie (that I saw ln) very much echoed their experiences - war always devolves into carnage and horror. This movie very much serves as a warning. Whatever the motivations for conflict, conflict always leads to the same place.
And that's the point Grace doesn't get.
The exact reason Alex Garland paired Texas and California was purely not to pick sides. Imagine if he’d made the movie pro-Democrat and made Texas the bad guys. It would not only be biased but would cause further division in the real United States.
yep everything she is implying could happen movie is more likely if he did pick a side he was just trying to show hey guys if you don't come together a little this might happen
Exactly right
I haven’t seen the movie but he vilify there democrats like sue said?
THIS! Garland instead focuses on Journalism as it has become a major problem in the US that both sides recognize. Grace seems very triggered by this take.
I mean at least Texas and California have the shared history of being independent nations at one point in the past
It’s about the mechanics of a modern civil war. It’s about what would happen, not why it happened.
Without a why there is no what
it sounded like she precisely criticized the mechanics when talking about the non-representation of special forces units / elite teams, journalist war heroes... the movie Grace seemed to want, with more realism, some kind of cultural relevance, more accurate depiction of America, etc... sounds more interesting than Garland's movie lol
@@ytubeanon Not really lol
I mean she made some valid points. I saw it last night and wasn't impressed. I feel like Alex Garland should do more sci-fi because that's when he really cooks. Man is 0-2.
You need a why since none of it makes any sense.
Grace, you are my favorite movie reviewer but i disagree with you 95% of the time. So... Im still looking foward for this movie.
LOL! 😆
lol I have the exact same relationship with her
Hollywood does it all the time when they decide to tell stories from other countries, so….
Maybe that's the entire point of this movie.
the amount of times they've butchered even fictional things like Robin Hood let alone anything factual
This is the only correct take lmao
EXACTLY
Yeah, but we don't care and you can't do anyhitng about it, so...........
Guess I as a Swed should be this upset about the Midsommar movie that was directed and written by an Ameican. The guy depicted one of our most precious holidays in Sweden as an Horror fiction 😅 (This is a joke obviously)
After seeing Civil War, I believe A24 is art house cinema. I don't vibe with their choice of films they distribute. They're not mainstream, as they would like to believe. To each their own, just not my cup of tea.
@@ShaneyBrightit really took you this long to figure that out
Who wrote and directed "Midsommar"?
And what is a "mohel"?
@@ShaneyBright ....yes....they ARE ARTHOUSE cinema....
I mean....I thought people knew this...
Agreed lol, i dont care who made the movie it’s about the quality of the art
With the state of modern journalism most corporate journalists wouldn't recognize themselves on screen.
At the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2006, Stephen Colbert joked about all the free time journalists should have by working as stenographers for the WH: "Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration? You know, fiction!"
Colbert was such a great satirist. He fell hard.
@ grace sadly
11:10 TBH this is probably how other countries feel when Americans make movies about them soooo
You know this is fiction? Not a documentary…
but even fiction should makes sense
For people like Grace fiction is their reality.
@@Phasael The movie you want makes no money
Then make it entertaining or with better world building. No excuse for it to be this boring
@@Phasaelfiction should make sense?
So it makes sense for a human to turn green and grow huge muscles right?
In case it doesn’t get mentioned here Texas and California were Garlands choice exactly because ideologically they don’t add up. He mentioned before not wanting to give clear answers for what its worth. I think he intends to confound and confuse. To disarm us if that makes sense. BUT both states have a history of people clamoring to succeed and both wield huge economic and political power and even one of those states succeding would cripple the rest of the nation. If they joined forces they could do incredible damage to the rest of the country.
That's fine, but it's not at all discussed in the film itself.
That is true with Texas and California talking about seceding from the union, but Texas was more vocal about it than California
California is certainly rich, the middle states always run at a deficit and need the coasts money
Sounds more like a cop-out for being poorly thought out than an intentional effort on Garland’s part.
@@JakeMercierFilmsbased on what Grace shared I could see Garland not even attempting to understand our politics but instead focusing on the most extreme and insane scenario he could come up with. Whats the most perverse version of another American civil war? Shoot what if the two sides supposedly most ideologically apart joined forces against the rest of us? Absolute horror movie stuff imo. I think it’s intentional because it’s so flagrant on its face. They would never? Right? But if they did they could do some incredible harm to the rest of us economically alone.
He doesn't take a side, and that seems to bother people. It's just a cautionary tale, Geez 🙄
It is the lack of standards and people's apathy towards corruption and decay that leads to a mess like this.
People are so entrenched in their sides that they can not handle interacting with someone who is not clearly on one side or the other. That is why Grace struggles to understand this movie.
@@davidloureiro7294 Even without the bias towards either side it is a very bland movie that is doesn't have much to say other than "don't do this".
How can a fictional movie be poorly researched.
Fictional doesn't mean fantasy. You have to build a world, or sow seeds on where the shift between our history and theirs takes place.
@@mikejunior211 Texas is 47% democrat remember
Fiction still has to be consistent; if a work is set on Earth, it has to obey the laws of physics unless it states otherwise; if a work is set in modern US, it has to obey modern reality unless it states otherwise. The movie could be set in an alternate present where Lyndon Johnson was re-elected in 1968 and our real history isn't the movie "history", but that has to be stated. (e.g. "Watchmen")
@@billsprestonesq.226ummm superhero movies are based in the modern world…. Physics don’t make sense there…. 🤣
A guy turning green and growing muscles? Oh yeah that’s real
Japan has always understood American nationalism better than almost anyone. See Senator Armstrong in Metal Gear: Revengence. Kojima wrote that character years before Trump entered the political theater.
Kojima God
Never thought id see someone talking abt Metal gear in this channel lol
YO, by far top-tier KAMI level comment. This will go so fucking far over the masses head it isn't even funny. I would argue Cambell from Son's of Patriots (Or his Digitized Algorithm AI Cambell) was hitting on some serious shit in early-mid 00's
I was thinking the other day that Japan and China probably have a better take than most Americans on the Civil War given their Waring States periods.
I was there last night and I thought that this movie was portraying an alternate version of America, and the horrors of what a civil war in modern America would look like. While it is obviously inspired by current events, it is not a 1:1.
If that were the case then film failed even to do that and made it all look like summer vacation.
Journalism is failing badly. It’s becoming an echo chamber.
@@mikejunior211 driven by agendas not facts
It's funny because Grace seems to want this movie to echo her beliefs.
@@abletothink
Bingo
I think Grace, is just running her mouth,..!
She's just bashing everything..
I get it the movie, not going to be liked by many..
But she's just being a political idiot..!!
Just saying:
Always has been.
I get what Grace is saying but I think what the film tries to focus on is the dehumanization of people during war, the picture during the credits fully captured this. I think it did that pretty well tbh
Crazy how many people on RUclips couldn't get that. It doesn't pander to my political party so it has to be a bad movie. Christ...
Grace missed the point of the movie.
To be fair, there ARE a lot of conservatives in California and there are a lot of liberals in Texas. Seeing the movie Thursday so will make my own judgement of it.
And that's the major reason why America would not fight another civil war
@@eliselianaboyd2547*should not _want_ to fight another civil war
But people are "intelligence challenged", history rhymes, and never say never.
@@eliselianaboyd2547 as if there weren't Southern sympathizers in the North and vice versa.
it seems like the western alliance isn't a political entity but rather the national guard forces of both states.
So what did you think of it.
Grace, Alex made a creative choice to pair Texas and California (two opposing sides politically IRL) in order to not show bias. This movie is meant to be fiction and not taken literally. I believe Garland did an excellent job centering the film around photographers who simply wanted to record history and not create an opinion. This film is not based on this universe’s USA, but shows how gruesome and violent a modern day civil war would look like. Something that is crucial to avoid.
"This film is fiction and should not be taken seriously" and in another sentence you say that "shows how gruesome and violent a modern day civil war would look like." What a contradiction!
I think its pretty much common knowledge that Garland didn't want the film to reflect the current political climate of the US... That seems to be lost on Grace however, who most likely was disappointed that there were no super heroes in it...
There's currently (since 2015, or earlier with Putin in power) a worldwide, far-right movement to elect authoritarian men into office who are straight, of the majority ethnicity and religion, who their followers feel will settle scores, and put the women, minorities and LGBTQ in their place. Make a movie about a country like Brazil, Hungary, Turkey, Belarus, India or even the U.S. falling for that, it has something to say today! But don't make nonsense just to show people getting shot for the fun of it.
It’s weird to say, how do you, a non-American make a movie about a fictitious setting in the US. Haven’t American directors done exactly that with other countries! Very weird take …
She's not saying he can't make the movie, she is saying that since he isn't American, he has to do the research and back up what he is saying in the movie, which Grace feels he did not.
literally
Speak it!
She's mad because her side was not shown to be the good guys.
@@InMyGetawayCar But that's exactly what 99.99% of American directors do when they tell stories about other countries: they don't research.
No knock to you or anything Grace because I love your videos and what you do but I caught civil war last night and unless I missed something there is no implication that this president has any similarities to Donald Trump at all. I'm saying that as a non Trump supporter. The politics of the president aren't even shown in the film. They don't even say what political party he's affiliated with.
There's the line about him dismantling the FBI, and other things that mirror Trump's actions as president.
@@BeyondTheTrailerTrump dismantled the FBI? I didn’t know they weren’t operating anymore.
@@BeyondTheTrailerAnd that he was on his third term
@@BeyondTheTrailer I recon every autocrat would probably do that once into power. The FBI is scarily effective behind the curtain of what the public thinks about it. Still one if not the leading investigating force in the modern world. I'm pretty convinced they want it this way. Being out of the public eye i mean.
You guys need to learn to read between the lines. I can say the sky is red, that doesn’t make it true.
If they answered all Grace's questions this would need to be a 10 episode miniseries.
It might be made into a book or miniseries if the movie is profitable.
I do think its funny seeing Americans react to this movie, when American cinema has represented everywhere else in the world even worse for a century.
1000% - I feel like all this is intentional in its portrayal. Most of the world has a disdain for Americans and it’s almost like garland put those views into a film. I can’t wait to see this!
I can’t help but smile at all honestly. It’s like it’s the first time they’ve seen a negative portrayal of how people perceive them and are in a deep shock. It’s like they don’t like being generalised like they generalise everyone else
It’s typical of Americans 😂 it actually proves a lot of points everyone else says and thinks of America
It's not just about a "bas view" of America or Americans. But a flawed bad description. You can show a view of all the thing perceived as bad from The USA but you gotta do it right. Otherwise it'll read as lazy(one of the things America is criticized for)
@@Rockstar-bq5fm I don't know how you could possibly think that Americans, in modern times, with access to the INTERNET are in shock that people despise us. Of course we know that.
Grace I usually really like your takes but I’m thinking you may have missed the point with this movie.
Completely
It seems like this movie takes place in a completely fictionalized U.S. with a different history to ours and is also more about the horrors of war rather than politics. Of course, this raises the question of why Garland didn't just choose to set the story in a fictional country to avoid confusion on the part of the audience if that was his goal.
I see why he would want to do that, but that's just lazy screenwriting tbh. Like if I want to watch about the horrors of war, I could just watch the Hunger Games or something. I get that it could be dense, maybe a miniseries would have been better.
Probably cause he wanted mass appeal. Some unknown place wouldn't be as popular in name recognition, and it can play on the funnier side of what might be if people gave up modern society because they couldn't get it together.
Exactly. If there's nothing actually 'American' about the film then not sure why he chose America. This isn't the first piece of media to do a fictionalized version of a country. 'Years and Years' is a TV show that depicts a fictionalized UK heading towards dystopia, but there is very clear context for how they got there and everything makes sense. Seems Garland just wanted to draw attention to his film and decided to choose the USA. If you choose a country, do a fictionalized version of it, but not proper research of that country's history then you definitely open yourself up to criticism.
_V for Vendetta_ is a good alternate future movie where fascists take over the U.K. Where was the U.S. in that? Fighting a war against Muslims.
Why couldn't he use his own country then? He picked the USA for a reason.
i will be watching this. i think this is not intended to have historical accuracy or geographical accuracy. i'm curious to see how this plays with audiences. alex is not a mainstream director so i'm curious how this leans.
Having recently witnessed how biased and quite frankly disgusting some journalism can be I’m inclined to believe that maybe this wouldn’t be too far fetched.
Does the movie touch on Presidents trying to jail their political opponents like in third world countries?
Sounds like something happening currently against not only against political opponents but it's supporters in the name of save the democracy.
grace the history expert randolph
Grace, I love ya, but I don't think you're very familiar with Reuters
All this shows me is that a lot of people will benefit from watching the movie more than once. It was very powerful.
Slight spoilers so skip if you haven’t watched:
1 - too close to the elephant. The point isn’t why it’s happening. It’s that it IS happening. America is the vehicle, not the whole point.
2 - Wagner’s character is literally breaking down at the base and all the other male characters die. Lee has a whole arc and saves her mentee
3 - the point of Plemons scene is very clear. Who does he shoot? Which one of the three does he consistently point the gone at? Which two places does he say are Real America?
4 - Look into what’s happening to journalists in Gaza
5 - watch it again if you can and see how it impacts how you perceive the movie
I will NEVER watch this movie again lmfaoooo Shit was boring as hell and mainly because the characters themselves were weak as fuck
Journalism today is in the GUTTER so why be so offended by how they are represented?
for real journalism has turned into pushing whatever agenda instead of telling of the truth
Apparently she believes the highly curated narrative.
The offense comes from how clumsily the representation is, not how "unfair".
Homegirl is lost af
Would you prefer no Journalism or just the ones you agree with?
But a film that doesn’t take a side has broad appeal. Which is what you always say you want in movies grace. I can’t talk too much on the film as I see it Thursday but you’re suppose to feel and see the horror of war. There are countless wars going on currently where people who surrender are killed even tho they surrender. I’ve seen videos online of Russians killing ukrainians and vice Versa yet they surrendered. Same with fictional tv shoes and movies we watch . It happens in war and from my understanding garland wants us to see the reality of it.
I want to add I have now seen the film and I stand by what I said. Also these are PHOTO journalist . Meant to show photos of the ravaged war zones. Really the movie isn’t suppose to be anything but the horrors of wars. And garland does NOT take a sad or villify any liberals or conservatives, it’s humans killing humans, you don’t get an opinion on a side because we aren’t given a stance. And we were shown these journalist wrestling with hardships with taking photos. I don’t wanna get into spoilers but come on. It’s right there
Looks like she missed the point again....
By far. Yet i can follow her arguments from an American's perspective just fine. Just not how the rest of the world sees it.
She kept saing that the biggest problem of all is how little research this movie has and she supported all her arguments with real historical events. I think you missed her point
@@Alex-hx4on it doesn’t matter to the point of the movie and what it tried to get across.
@@Alex-hx4onIt's fiction movie. This event didn't happen.
As per usual.
Saw the tweet and knew I had to tune in to the review
Me too
Same
Samee
Same!!
Yeppppp
I don’t see how you can critique a movie that revolves around a fictional political landscape by holding it to the standards and patterns of our current, non-fiction political landscape.
Yeah I think it's set up to not be a commentary on the (actual) US on purpose lol Having Texas allied with California is just one example of how this isn't supposed to be a commentary on the US but rather on war journalism it seems with how she describes the movie. It may take place in a US divided, but it seems like Garland didn't want to piss off either side in the actual divided US.
She has said so many bonkers things over the years, but the idea that Alex Garland chose California and Texas as partners was a poorly researched mistake rather than a obvious purposeful decision is the worst. It's baffling to hear someone who has so much professional success say some completely ignorant and downright stupid things.
These points are valid but I would say Garland and the people behind this movie are aware of the tension in the U.S. and are almost exploiting that tension. That being said I would agree that Grave fixating on the details on the movie aren’t really the point ig, still valid too though.
art imitates life? she goes too far with it here but this critique isn’t valid mostly
I think her point is that there’s no in-universe explanation. She really, really doesn’t like the world building here, it seems. Even the wildest fantasy has rules
Been watching and enjoying your channel for years , but this feels like a rant rather than a review, obviously you are entitled to your opinion as is everyone, but as in your tweets you are coming across as angry in this review and taking this film personally
I think if the film was set outside of the US with the same set pieces the review would have been more positive.
It does bring up an interesting point in that I don't think the US gets the same coverage of the realities of war as the rest of the world OR its heavily edited in their favour and rarely challenged
My guess is, they vilify opinion based journalism and that’s what Grace does.
In her rage she blocked me on Twitter for suggesting something similar. I even said I enjoyed her content, but disagreed with her movie tastes.
She didn't like this movie cause it wasnt a superhero movie. If this exaxt plot was in a superhero movie she would be applauding it
If the movie blatantly bashed the right she would have loved it.
I very honestly think if people can handle like 10 Purge movies we will be okay with something like this.
Americans finally realizing what other countries feel 😅
And they are all so salty 😅
Garland conveyed that he intentionally didn't mirror the current partisan divides in the US. His focus was on the importance of the press considering the current climate and dangers of delegitimizing vetted legacy media in order to shape an alternate reality. If the movie did take a side, half the country would refuse to go see it. He explained that he was angry about the misinformation spread during Covid and this was a cautionary tale for everyone. Political and military accuracy were not the point.
I'd be interested to hear what actual photo journalists think of this movie.
😂😂😂
Actually it would be good to hear from any photographer and photo journalist.
Yeah - I exited the cinema thinking "Oh good, now there's an action movie for photographers!"
Sounds a bit like Garland depicts America in a similar way than many american movies depicting places outside the US. At least he places important buildings in the right cities. Thats not always the case the other way round. =)
Exactly what i thought. But but guys: That's how you look to the outside world. A bunch of megalomanical muppets on meth, shrooms and laxatives wielding you big hammer around ;)
Dude your review makes me want to see it now. the movie sounds GREAT!!
So easily manipulated. Sad.
I know right? sounds like a great movie lol

Grace lowkey being patriotic without maybe even knowing it 😂
The Confederacy is regaining its power??? With all due respect, you've been watching too much of The View ;)
Having been to every county in Virginia as a political professional since 2016, I can tell you it absolutely has gained momentum
@@cedarroscoe1066 Good, because the socialists who have power in the North, have shown how destructive their policies are. See Baltimore, Chicago, NY, Detroit, etc.
@@cedarroscoe1066your delusional 😂
@cedarroscoe1066 are these "confederats" in the room with you right now?
@@cedarroscoe1066 I lived in The South for more than 20 years as an adult (I didn't grow up there) and there's always been some folks hanging onto the 'Confederacy', but it's NOT gaining momentum. It's MORE marginalized now. There will always be some nuts and it may be that they are louder today, but they are not more numerous. (IME, much of the "louder" part is political nutpicking, where partisans deliberately amplify the craziest part of The Other Side.)
If Grace takes a movie personally and is losing her mind over it that means the film is great. Can’t wait to see it!
She didn't like this movie cause it wasnt a superhero movie. If this exaxt plot was in a superhero movie she would be applauding it
If she things this version of America doesnt add up, the Hunger Games would send her to the ER.
Except the Hunger Games is a completely fictional country that is not claiming at all to be a version of the US or UK it just happens to have people speaking with American and British accents.

100%
You missed the point Grace. And I get it. I felt the same way after seeing it last night but taking a bit to really analyze it and take my political bias out of it really makes me understand the film better. And it really does show that when you really don’t like something, you will go out of your way to undermine the entire film/show. I really hope you reconsider a rewatch or just actually listen to what others might be saying.
She won't. She blocks people on X if they disagree with her opinion on the film. She's soft.
@@jairbear619 that's such a inmature way to react... more and more I question why I follow the channel!! Couple of years ago it wasn't lke this....
She did not miss the point. She is spot on - and I say this as someone who lambasts wokey BS. But also as someone who works professionally in elections and politics - who over wrote this film is naive, bumbling and a complete outsider.
The movie didnt say what you thought it would say. Funny seeing you all get upset
This is the main issue I have with Graces reviews, I love her for the most part, particularly with most superhero movies but if she doesn't like someone involved in the production it most certainly will mean she'll speak negatively about the movie.
This is probably the worst review I've watched in a long time.
Grace wanted this to be a documentary and is treating it as such. It's a great FICTIONAL film that takes liberties and doesn't pick sides or reflect today's political environment and it's all the better for it.
A24 being based in NY...I would would vert surprised if it didn't heavily in one direction 🙂...
She didn't like this movie cause it wasnt a superhero movie. If this exaxt plot was in a superhero movie she would be applauding it
The problem with modern journalism is that it is activism not journalism. It used to be if you walked in to CNN you'd find journalists with dirty shoes and clothes because they just got back from investigating a story, you walk in now and everyone is wearing pristine clothes and shining shoes.
Heaven forbid any Writer/Filmmaker vilify Democrats in a fictional work...
not even vilify, it just didn't crucify the right enough for her liking.
The funny part is it doesn't even vilify Democrat's or Republicans but she is so culture war obsessed that she puts her own bias on the film.
What allegations against Democrats made this week is Grace referring to? I follow politics pretty closely and I have no clue.
Didn't get that one either. It's a roadmovie about morally corrupt journalists set in in a fictional world. Maybe she wants to see more into it than Garland intended.
I don't know as I'm out of the loop on this one.
Grace thinks of herself as "knowledgeable" about politics and history, but she definitely is not. I'm saying this as someone who's watched her videos for years.
Sigh... Somehow, the Confederacy has returned...
@@damonx6109 I concur... Frecuently she says she loves history and then makes a comment on a video/review that clearly reflects the ignorance about history ... like WTF!!!
if it’s fiction then it should be fiction, if it’s too on the nose, then there would be the complaint that it’s too realistic, sowing seeds of violence and rebellion.🤷🏽♀️
It's possible one or both presidential candidates could die before the following election in 2028, or even Jan 2025. Do a movie about chaos in America if one or both die or are assassinated. Don't do nonsense.
Grace, this film shows all the things that happen in other civil wars. The mass graves, the hangings, the refugee camps. Destruction in the cities taking out local landmarks. These happen in plenty of countries around the world. It is not shocking.
However due to it happening in America, its scary. It also is shocking to see these events happen in America.
After the tweets I knew this was gonna be a spicy vid.
Would really love to hear Grace's take on what was going on a few summer's back when the major cities were on fire and police and civilians alike were being murdered in the streets?
Peaceful protests - grace probably
Her comment was "YOU KNOWWWWWWW"
Huh? I'm sure she and every other person in the country would be disgusted. Why would you suggest otherwise?
@@luciusblackwood2640 because BLM good no matter what they do
It sounds like the film is politically ambiguous. Everyone will see it through their own political and philosophical POV. The 2 states that are united are purposely done that way to show no political bias. Si Vi Pacem Parabellum.
Absolutely amazing film. Incredibly realistic when it comes to the carnage of war. The genius of Texas and California teaming up goes beyond the pitfalls of a democrat / republican divide. All Americans should be against Fascism. Highly recommend in Dolby Cinema. The sound mix is haunting.
I completely agree!
Saw this film last night with my two friends and we all LOVED it. Riveting from start to finish, beautifully filmed and Kirsten Dunst is THAT girl! Everyone’s life experiences informs their perspectives and taste in media, but I would 100% recommend this movie to anyone who expresses interest in seeing it. The photograph slowly developing as the credits roll was *chefs kiss*
My thoughts exact!😎
California and Texas have the largest economies in the country, if there is a federal overreach, not that difficult to imagine them having similar interests, people care more about money than red v blue, just ask lobbyists🤷🏼♂️
Or the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I just can’t see Cali and Texas ever allying together. I mean, if anything Texas would just secede and stay away from everyone. There’d have to be some real world building explanation for them to ever work together.
@@Davidsworldtravelsisn't Texas dead smack in the centre of the country and totally landlocked? How can they stay away from everyone? California could, because they're a coastal state. I doubt Texas could physically keep other Americans out the way Cali or NY could.
@@edselgreaves6503 I say that bc Texas had a lot of people wanting to secede. Landlocked or not, they are huge and at the bottom of the country. So the border could very well be north of them. It was a serious thing many Texans wanted to vote on.
I could see Jan 6 style insurrection in Texas if the good guys win election there and the bad guys don't like it. But the movie sounds like a lot of nonsense.
That's how Hollywood portraits everything country, inauthentic haha 😂😂
It's a fictional world the movie is set in. I don't get what's to hard to understand there. Maybe Garland should make them speak Klingon in the next movie for people to get it ;)
But knee jerk reaction: immigrants!!!!! -Grace more than likely
just like alex garland i too am someone looking at usa from the outside so i'm curious what it'll be like for me to watch this
No no, I won’t let Grace talk down to Wagner Moura. Brazilian gold right there. 🇧🇷
I don’t understand why she hated his character, he was a standout for me.
I’m really surprised how much Grace missed the point of the entire movie… but I feel a lot of Americans would struggle with this film
I was going to walk out after 30 minutes, then I read reviews that said all the trailer beats were in the last act of the film. Dont go in with any pre established knowledge of political science or american history or sociology. This film is actually a super dark comedy about the ignorance and naivety of man as we try to play god. Ive watched it twice in Dolby. 9/10.
It’s fiction… can it be treated as such?
lol, leftist's let entertainment to be fun, and not preach? ha good one.
@@SourBogBubble u cant treat as fiction when its political and knowing how messed us the usa is a civil war might happen
I thought The movie was more about war jornalists not about political movie
@@Destroyer3212-gv2ss isn’t this the same hysteria which people had when joker came out. ‘Oh there will be mass violence and riots now’… people just saw it as another movie and a work of pure fiction
Not when its trying to act like non fiction
I think explicitly not having sides was important so you aren't choosing sides and can just see the violence as tragic not heroic
So what exactly happened on January 6th?
Nothing
Search up on youtube or google or any neutral media service.
@@mikejunior211 you obviously didn't see the entire footage then. I suggest you do a more exhausting research.
@@mikejunior211 not falling for the trap. Please look at the full footage of the Jan 6 incident. I'm sure there is stuff you can find enjoy cause it wasn't a peaceful demonstration.
Everyone will feel how they feel but I disagree with the way you're reviewing and critiquing a movie (an art piece) based on how close it is to reality, holding it to the standard of real world politics, as if it's a docu. Not gonna comment on the movie's quality, it just irked me a little bit how you approached your review. I personally don't think a movie whose plot revolves around politics needs to adjust and be made by mirroring the state of the real world we're living in, examining any parallels is of course interesting but the movie should be held to an artistic standard like every other movie, not a sociopolitical one. Anyway, really enjoy watching you Grace! Waiting for your take on the next X-men episode lol always look forward to that every wednesday.
Got the popcorn at the ready for this review after seeing the tweets from last night Grace! 😂
Its fiction nuff said!
Joel (Wagner Moura) is not conducting interviews along the way. The only interview he is interested in was the President’s.
Trying not to spoil stuff too much, buddy...
@@BeyondTheTrailer definitely don’t think the “buddy…” was necessary. I was simply commenting on a point you made in this video.
Be careful grace has a fragile ego.
@@BeyondTheTrailer this is probably the snarkiest I have ever seen you in the comments... and Grace I am here for it! 🤣😂 Loved the review.
L for Grace here. Went over her head clearly
Ridiculously
She’s been missing the mark a lot lately with her criticisms against movies
it feels like this movie is made for an international audience who sees US as exactly like this
it's almost like a funny parody cause Hollywood always screws up other countries histories
The movie wants to appear bigger in scope than it actually is.
Careful Grace, your one World government, digital currency, social credit score loving self showing.
The only way to ban the bomb will be one-world government, which will have the authority and nerve to step in to stop genocide, ethnic cleansing, military coups, etc. A very Star Trek-like future, though _Star Trek_ never said how to get from here to there.
It's just disGRACEful how she opened the review by framing Garland as a foreigner who basically need to watch himself in America.
Love you Grace, but this a Journalism themed movie not a political one, and just be because we are not on the same aisle, I still love you. Im excited for this one!
11:17 feel the pain Grace, now you know 😌 on a more serious note, didn't garland say it's about the horror of tue experience of war in modern america and motivations were left vague for people of both ends to easily associate themselves with the characters? Shame it didn't work for you 😕
A modern day civil war in the US is actually an interesting idea, but I feel like it would be so complex that it would almost need to be a streaming show, with multiple seasons.
Something like Man in the High Castle
You should read the book, its far better than the show ever was
This movie was absolutely riveting. Idc how anyone else feels about it. And oh yeah, I hated Jessie by the end 🤣🤣
Why do people still take her opinion serious?
I was so interested to see this review based on your tweets.
Journalists DO have immunity. It's just a question of other people respecting that or not.
"So This Is How Liberty Dies, With Thunderous Applause" - Star Wars, Padme Amidala.
People are starting to realize they don't actually like democracy. Everytime....good bye American experiment, the founders always suspected an idol would come along cult style, they tried to mitigate it
Said after she deposed a good politician to put the new Emperor in.
Hi Grace have you seen the new Maxxxine trailer?
Jeez, just enjoy the intimate story rather than the pseudo-projected lore on todays America.
Perhaps if a room of journalists almost all applaud a movie about journalism, they might know what they've seen, and perhaps you don't?!
Controversy will be found in any media no matter what.
I appreciate the movie for the fact it doesn't pick a side, doesn't justify anyone's way of thinking, just that in any war, chaos is king.
Sounds like an amazing concept for a mini-series or streaming show that got smooshed into 2 hours.
M*A*S*H was a book then into a movie then into a series. It's possible that this world could be turned into a streaming show.
And… she lost me 😂
Saw the movie last night and thought it was pretty solid. It’s not the action die hard Olympus has fallen movie the trailers promised but it was a good put together imax experience with the best sound production of 2024
I am still going to see it because it currently has a 93% RT score.
Probably is a great movie
I'm definitely watching it in IMAX
THANK YOU FOR THIS REVIEW GRACE!!!!
8:15 HE'S GOTTA DO THE WORK.
White House Bunkers & Tunnels???
16:20 NO RESEARCH DONE. Writen in a Night.
17:15 Journalist Lead the WAY!
This is one of the most ignorant reviews ive ever seen lmao
I love seeing Grace worked up even when I don’t agree 😭
