It is definitely because it actually gives a background and buildup to the conflict whereas A24s film is just some jerk off movie slobbering over the media and gives utterly no background on what caused the Civil War other than the President dissolved the FBI and was on a third term
This is why I liked HBO they dared to tackle subjects that ordinary Hollywood would sanitise. Few mainstream movies would have touched upon this in such a blunt way. End result most of those movies are so dated its not even funny while this is still relevant.
It's sick to think that HBO had this on so long ago and it is coming to being now with the South American kids and the media is playing the game to a tee:(
Their parents shouldnt crossing the border risking their lives to break our border laws, if they can do that why cant they overthrow their corrupted mexican govt?oh thats right because theyre moochers who wanna exploit our way of life.
Haha whos the one talking about giving citizenship to anyone crossing the border. Biden! And guess what hundreds of thousands of mexicans are planning to rush the border soon. This is what bidens presidency will look like.
@@banjiman9869 And yet, '22 will show the right-wing that America has had enough of its bullshit. '20 was a referendum on Donald Trump, and for the first time, it was #DonTheCon being told "You're Fired!"
It seems to be on Amazon Prime or for sale. Not sure if its been sanitized like some movies are. (Blazing Saddles for one) I have an original DVD. It was suppose to be a comedy when it was made, but now it takes on a whole different look. Joe Dante was the director, and this movie is just now starting to be recognized because of whats happening now in Washington and elsewhere.
Imagine being an Iraqi veteran, watching these two American officers bickering about who won what you had considered a valiant but hopeless struggle, only to then hear one of them call it a “race” like you weren’t even fighting back. The humiliation!
I just wanna point out how fucking annoying it is to see all these folks talking bout ''tHiS wAS a ComEdy BuT MuH 2nd CiviL WAr is HaPPeNIng''. Its all gonna be fine no worries. We didn't break during the great Depression and we wont break now
More like biden because they legit will give citizenship to anyone who crosses illegally, and trump was making peace and not taking in refugees, but biden will let the flood gates open, trump doesnt tolerate illegal border crossing and procedures. Biden will open the flood gates.
And see nothing has happened with trump since 2016. Yall are so fucking dumb amd clueless. Notice how the president in this show works with the media to project their narrative, its exactly what dems do and biden is a democrat.
@@banjiman9869 Donald Trump was also being exposed as an agent of the Kremlin who was willing to give top secret, classified information to America's worst enemies. '20 was a referendum on Donald Trump, and for the first time in his life, Trump was the one told "You're Fired!"

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SATIRE! A COMEDY! I LIVE IN A UNIVERSE OF THE INSANE!
De ne ne nu nu ne ne nu nu
Fuzzy Karma lmao
This is what happens when you live long enough satire and comedy slowly and surely blend into reality
And by then the Beast is staring at you in the face and it's no longer a laughing matter
it only gets worse from where you are lmao
well this has aged a bit too fine
Yes
Funny story, This was a Satirical comedy 20 years ago.....Not so funny anymore...
How history repeats itself!!
What was that about the bad taste jokes ceasing to be funny?
Looks like it's near.
Porque no to es chistoso Anglo?
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊😎😎😎😎🦅🦅🦅🦅
Nah, it’s hilarious to see what prejudices and stereotypes about politics where like 30 years ago and what stays the same. It’s also a comedy
I mean it was a issue back then, too. We just didn't damn do anything about it.
To me personally this is better than A24’s Civil War
It is definitely because it actually gives a background and buildup to the conflict whereas A24s film is just some jerk off movie slobbering over the media and gives utterly no background on what caused the Civil War other than the President dissolved the FBI and was on a third term

I saw this when it came out. At the time, I was under the impression that it was satire...
...well, live and learn.
wtf, i suddenly got this on my feed
There's more to life than cheap sneakers!
True
This is the most prescient movie ever.
nah. Idiocracy.
RocketeerAndRoll
You got that word from Trilla correct?
HBO didn’t predict this.. Billy Meier did over 65 years ago. Don’t know who Billy Meier is?? Find out.
SyracuseWholesaler The UFO guy?
I did, and you're an idiot
Yeah this was seriously a fucked movie but sometimes movies predict the future.
This cast is stacked
For a satire I'm shocked by how well this aged compared to the problems America is facing right now. Bro. What are the freaking chances? That is wild.
Send them all back!
Uhhh. This looks oddly familiar.
This is hilarious. There are right-wingers in this news organisation.

This movie is the ultimate 6 degrees of Bacon connection point (if only Kevin Bacon was in it!)
The "Anybody speak Arabic?" joke was setup great.
James Earl Jones was an officer in the Army Rangers… no joke
Well I'm just admiring the Great Cast
Is it possible to get this whole movie someplace??

@@iworkout6912 Amazing. I remember watching it when it debuted in '97. I'm gonna try to hunt down an original DVD (probably impossible).
It’s on UA-cam. There are atleast 2 different uploads.
@@kennethcadesharp Ended up hunting down a copy on DVD. Yes, you're right, but the quality is not there.
So this was a documentary after all?
Oops 2024
The director of Gremlins did this
I find it terrifying how much this resembles the current political environment 😂
2:51: Why did he not reply "You're out of a job if you don't do it, is what you are."?

ahh yes, the better 2nd civil war movie
So... basically now.
Comedy then……reality now.
i'm only watching this so i don't have to listen to my annoying mum
Was this a comedy show
I guess at the time it sort of was to some people. But today there are very few laughs, and more like it really is now.
It was some dark humor and satire mixed with a drama
5:03 AYYYY GENERAL LANDRY!
Ironic
"There's more to life than cheap sneakers", that sounds like a commie to me.
ha ha ohhh yeahhh thanks
This is going to happen.

Illegal immigrants from south of the border and middle east. Watch the whole movie and you will understand. Northwestern states like Idaho, Montana, Wyoming etc. want it stopped.
No, Federal Army troops versus National Guard units of at least 11 states
