Making it Texas and Florida would be to on the nose so think about if you have something to say and want to get your point across do something absurd but allows you to have suttle or not so suttle undercurrents without getting shut down
Yeah, either Cali went red for some reason(possible) or Washington enacted policies so anti-American that both governors were like, "Revolution? Sure, why not."
there is no shortage of angry rednecks in California. When you consider that a little over half the eligible voters in this country actually vote and then when you look at the election results and see that the tide is turned by barely over fifty percent...this is a pretty evenly split country and the pot has been simmering for decades, long before Trump. Trump just turned up the heat. Sometimes I wonder how constructive films like this are. Civil war is a rednecks wet dream.
I wonder what those irish kids stabbed in school by that algerian would have to say about this Maybe we should send you on a vacation to zimbabwe to figure it out or detroit or chicago
Thing that amazes me is the idea that the states of California and Texas could actually find enough common ground to decide to try and make a country together. If the government in Washington was honestly bad enough that those two could put aside there differences to work together there really would be no going back.
Blue liberals and red gun nuts together?! Yeah, this is PURE FICTION! All the red states banding together, now that is a scenario I can believe! And they would be nuts AND gun nuts to try it! LOL
Most of the conflict in the US seems to be between city and country cultures. You can have a very progressive city like Portland virtually at war with the areas that surround it. Looks like they have the countryside of California and Texas uniting - maybe under a Dominionist - Christian extremist type government. Also thats a large percentage of the food supply for the US in those areas so not too far fetched.
Suspect it would be a lot more fragmented than that. More like Syria or Libya - lots of local tensions causing fractures with an array of loose alliances across the country between common interest groups. A soup of different power structures all competing, allying and then turning on one another, with different foreign interests pouring money and arms in on their favoured groups like petrol.
“What kind of American are you?” What a potent question, I used to think a second civil war was impossible. But these past few years I’ve reconsidered.
Something about this movie is so chilling. It’s so scary cause something like this is so much closer to real life than we realize and to think this has happened before really sucks…
@@kittoko9no I assure you it’s not. Americans are far too lazy and dependent on their daily doses of dopamine that if something like this were to happen majority of them would hop on Reddit and complain that “someone should really do something about all this!!!”

20 years ago, the idea of making such a film would not have even crossed anyone's mind. It would simply not make much sense. But today? Well, something has changed.
Yeah everything that was good is now bad and everything bad is now good.. Think the Bible says something about that… No more morals and values no more decency no more loyalty! We don’t see each other as brothers and sisters, agree with me or I have a name for you! When did we get to the point where we can’t agree to disagree and talk about Sports or families or even the damn weather… Now if we disagree with people they make it personal call you names… God help us we need it! This very much looks like a glimpse of our future!!
I’m actually comforted by the fact that this movie is coming out now. It’s good to remind people the abject horrors of war, and that goes double for civil wars.
When I first saw the preview for it there was no set release date yet, I thought to myself they shouldn't wait too long to release it because if they do it will be a documentary and not a "" Thriller "".

Meh. It’s an interesting premise but not very likely to occur in real life. Most of the fools that talk about wanting a Civil War would never be able to fight or organize well enough to be an effective army. And most of them are all talk anyway. Easy to act tough behind their computers. Not so easy to leave the comfort of their homes and actually get shot at.
At first glance, the idea of CA and TX allied against the government seems ridiculous, but think about it for a minute…. both states have tossed around the idea of secession for different reasons, during different presidential administrations. If both states decided they had enough and tried to secede, and the government moved in on both states to stop them, they might turn to each other as temporary allies, knowing the only way they could be successful was to team up (the enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of thing)…..
I think it’s more half of CA has moved to TX, so they’re gonna try & say that has influenced its politics. Cause that’s what they’re already trying to say irl. Just my guess.
Basically Texas and California National Guard joining forces temporarily, to become separate sovereign countries going their own way. I could that attempt but not successful.
Damn, this sequel to Friday Night Lights is DARK, but it's good, I guess, to finally see where Landry ended up and Plemons back in the role that got him started.
@@squibbsounds The true Plemons fans know exactly what I"m talking about and are giving me the 👍to keep it up. The man was a legend before Breaking Bad. And at least Landry isn't winding up time travelling to the earlier Civil War and then waking up on Mars like Tim Riggins.
@@midnightplatypus1973 lol I’ll have to take your word for it bro, I don’t follow actors, just writers and directors. Saw him in Antlers. That was pretty good. He was good in it. Enjoy the flick 😎👍🏻
Garland casting Dunst in this was what finally got him the in with the Jesse Plemons cameo mafia. IMDB and One Media may be top billing him, but this seems like at most he may get a moment like the military in 28 Days rather than the main story which seems to be following journalists.
I don't think we're that bad. The irony of dystopia, is that by being actually worse than our worrying present, it actually presents embers of hope, and a strange comfort in being grateful for what you have. You don't know it's gone till it's really gone.
They always show you first and people are so fascinated by what they see "man that was a great movie/TV show" only to see it play out right before their own eyes.
Jesus is coming, and they even know it, but they hate Him and what He stands for, and they don't care about the rest of us. Same thing happened last year with East Palestine, Ohio trainwreck and the movie White Noise, which came out before the actual trainwreck and featured extras from the actual town of East Palestine, Ohio. These people worship demons. They are truly evil. They use this so called "revelation of the method" because they want to be seen as some divine oracles-like God. But that job is permanently taken by Jesus Christ. Jesus is God. Even the demons know who Jesus is and they do fear Him. Cry out to Jesus and believe in Him and you will be saved.
I love how the genius who felt the need to remind someone there was a civil war going on later thought "We're Americans" was a proper description of who they are during a CIVIL WAR
@@TheSaltyAdmiral It doesn't really matter. The fact that they're journalists and they would be the first to know about a civil war and its their job to explain what is going on to the people but dont even know what civil war means is hilarious.
this film literally proves that the elites rule the world, what are the chances that a movie about a civil war between modern americans comes out right as there is tensions between texas and the feds.
The idea that the media would be the bastion of hope or survival is laughable. Or that people who are in the media wouldn't be corrupt is also laughable.
@@Brownsound279 actually…. Do u? Lol. Coz I’m not sure what u meant by that. If u assumed I was a conservative(aka American) and despise the left… u assumed correct. If not, we have a miscommunication here
The idea that a militia could take down the largest richest military the world has ever seen is laughable. One aircraft carrier cost as much as the whole military budget of at least 9 different countries.
Well here in the US right now, there are people trying to teach our children they can change their gender… And I’d be willing to fight them with the proper leader ship
The diversity here is just wack. Traditional American culture that made the country great, is now just one of many subcultures, and had been largely replaced by corporate “consumer culture” as well.
@@furthereast6775 And that "consumer culture" will be replaced by whatever culture the millions upon millions of migrants being allowed over the border are bringing with them. Considering where they're coming from, we're probably on the way to having mud huts, Sharia law, and designated shitting streets.
In terms of "downfall scenarios" that could befall modern America, I honestly see balkanization (splitting into several factions) as a more realistic path, than a big ole 1860s style civil war with two major sides going at it.
I have the same Opinion. In fact, most of the problems we are facing today as fascism starts in the balkans countries in the 90's with nationalism, ethnic and cultural issues, a dark revival.
Yeah California wants to split into four parts, parts of Oregon want to split over to Iowa or Idaho I forget which. I see Texas Oklahoma and the South East forming a nation. Dividing Virginia for the second time.
@@brassmonkey2697 everybody wants to split in niches and sub niches, looking for small groups with the same interests despite diversity and collectivity of this world controlled for neoliberal thoughts and ideas. Big companies make rules and give the cards where average people can't win.
To the people wondering what Ca and Tx could possibly bond over, these are the two largest economies in the country separately (ca about 15%, Tx about 9%). Combined they make up almost a $a quarter of the country's gdp. Both would do better outside of the union.
It is frightening although it’s not nearly as frightening as knowing people like the 3 idiots who replied to your comment exist and seem to think that it’s just a work or fiction and has absolutely no chance of ever happening. And they call ‘you’ the NPC! 😂😂😂
I'm overwhelmed by the number of political analysts and war correspondents in the comment section making sure to remind us that a Texas-California alliance wouldn't happen.
It's no accident. This and other movies like 'Leave the World Behind" where America turns on itself. It's the zeitgeist. Half the country wants this, for real.
What do you expect ? You have Democrats preying on our kids in schools. An wide open southern border allowing God knows who in. Record homelessness. Record crime. Record drug use. Americans being triple taxed.
I would say half of Americans want civil war is generous .. A lot of big talkers out there, but when it comes down to it how many would give up their liberty for temporal security?
It says a lot about us, as a civilization, that we seem to fantasize about this kind of stuff regularly. If there is a civil war... none of us have anything to look forward to. We're an empire of over 300 million people. To expect them all to be the same is beyond stupid. Regardless of our differences, solidarity matters.
@@fujimi715What will be the outcome though? Balkanization? A new dictatorship? Other countries taking dibs into new lands under chaos? These are genuine questions by the way
Except it won't be states aligning. It will be many violent skirmishes between various areas and groups. Militias fighting against each other, against various government entities. Many rogue people and groups attacking governments, officials, people they don't like. Think: Ricky Schiffer, James Alex Fields Jr., Craig Robertson, the riots in Portland, or worse, attacks like Oklahoma City.
It's kind of brilliant because that's what a lot of narcissists and psychopaths do; they're waiting to see your response to read how to keep the manipulation and control going.
Although they don't mention HOW it happened. Maybe Texas simply ANNEXED California? I didn't see many people on those Hollywood picket lines that were likely to put up much of a fight!
They lost me at Texas and California aligning 😂 but on a serious note, the trailer makes it seem like this is just another one-dimensional action movie. This could have been a really intriguing movie and a chance to explore the polarizing issues in our country from that apocalyptic standpoint but so far it seem like another CGI exercise.
Nobody wants it but it is happening and nothing can be done to avoid it at this point. We have a criminal government that refuses to follow the constitution how else can that be remedied
It's no coincidence, Alex Garland has this idea for a script decades ago, he's only making it now because the idea of second Civil war is on everyone's minds so he wanted to make it while the topics hot
You might get this if you want to cancel, imprison or call your political opponents 'public enemy'. Wish next elections wouldn't be as dirty and boiling as they were in 2016 and 2020.
When Yuval Noah Harari declares openly that elections and deciding what you want to buy at the grocery store-those days are over, I think we are very near the beginning the the 7 year tribulation in the Book of Revelation and Daniel. Satan knows the Holy Bible too. All that call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in Him will be saved.
They could have made this a lot more realistic by adding 40 pounds to everyone in the film and having them run out of breath after running the first twenty feet.
Plemons just walked onto the set and played the part when the original actor dropped out last minute. Dunst married Plemons after working with him on Fargo. So she called him up and he came in and played the role with no rehearsal. In addition, because of the late change of actors, he goes uncredited in the movie.
A friend's father works for the FBI. Today he was urgently called to a briefing. He returned late and did not explain anything. He just told me to pack my stuff and run to the store for groceries for two weeks. Now we are going somewhere far outside the city. I don't know what's going on, but it seems to me it's started...
First saw him in Breaking Bad and have loved him in everything since. And yes I thought he was Matt Damon at first..lol. But he was hilarious in Game Night. He can play any role.
Does every apocalypse movie that films in Atlanta use that same piece of highway to shoot their abandoned traffic jam scene??? Who remembers that same place from _The Walking Dead_ ?
Looks chilling and awesome, reminds me kinda of the movie The Purge, God forgive and save us from the real sci-fi nightmares yet to come in the near future!
...And I'm sure some Americans will say this scenario should happen for real...and for the good of the United State. This is the most frightening things of them all.
Yeh, that’s terrifying. They clearly have no idea what war is really like. I’ve literally seen comments in this comment section saying they hope this really happens.
@ShakirahIbaad slaving away for 30 years to a corporation and being subjected to politicians and terrorism and Tyranny only to die a few years after retirement, that is what is terrifying.

Psy-op priming people for coincidental election year. Purely coincidental.
It's crazy to think this movie is based off a true future event.
Facts
Meh. It’s an interesting premise but not very likely to occur in real life. Most of the fools that talk about wanting a Civil War would never be able to fight or organize well enough to be an effective army. And most of them are all talk anyway. Easy to act tough behind their computers. Not so easy to leave the comfort of their homes and actually get shot at.
At first glance, the idea of CA and TX allied against the government seems ridiculous, but think about it for a minute…. both states have tossed around the idea of secession for different reasons, during different presidential administrations. If both states decided they had enough and tried to secede, and the government moved in on both states to stop them, they might turn to each other as temporary allies, knowing the only way they could be successful was to team up (the enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of thing)…..
Man best response to the question I’ve had when I first saw the trailer, makes alotta sense
I think it’s more half of CA has moved to TX, so they’re gonna try & say that has influenced its politics. Cause that’s what they’re already trying to say irl. Just my guess.
How do Nevada and Arizona feel about that?
Basically Texas and California National Guard joining forces temporarily, to become separate sovereign countries going their own way. I could that attempt but not successful.
Also right at the beginning of trailer in the first few seconds it mentions the 'Florida Alliance'. That's interesting to me?
Those two were great in the second season of Fargo.
And then they got married.
Best Fargo season
This is like the prequel to Escape from New York.
Explains how Snake Plissken got that eye patch.
The President stays in hiding, and doesn’t publicly address the situation, so realistic.
Damn, this sequel to Friday Night Lights is DARK, but it's good, I guess, to finally see where Landry ended up and Plemons back in the role that got him started.
I like how no one knows what you’re taking about 😂👍🏻
@@squibbsounds The true Plemons fans know exactly what I"m talking about and are giving me the 👍to keep it up. The man was a legend before Breaking Bad. And at least Landry isn't winding up time travelling to the earlier Civil War and then waking up on Mars like Tim Riggins.
@@midnightplatypus1973 lol I’ll have to take your word for it bro, I don’t follow actors, just writers and directors. Saw him in Antlers. That was pretty good. He was good in it. Enjoy the flick 😎👍🏻
Makes me sad for him.
Has 1 actor from that TV show.....wtf are you talking about?
It's nice to see Plemons finally cast in something. Missed that guy.
Edit - I guess I have to clarify this is sarcasm.
Where you being? That guy has being working with the best directors in the past 10 years.
@@Oliver401 Sarcasm. He's in everything.
He is good stuff
You mean Fat Damon?
Garland casting Dunst in this was what finally got him the in with the Jesse Plemons cameo mafia. IMDB and One Media may be top billing him, but this seems like at most he may get a moment like the military in 28 Days rather than the main story which seems to be following journalists.
"What kind of American are you?" That is a very up to date expression.
Part of me wants to see this. Part of me thinks it might be too potentially prophetic and therefore depressingly stressful
either a civil war, or the south americans get more babies and turn 'true americans' into a minority.
Oy vey agent provocateur
It would be exciting except for that fact that it probably won't happen
I don't think we're that bad. The irony of dystopia, is that by being actually worse than our worrying present, it actually presents embers of hope, and a strange comfort in being grateful for what you have. You don't know it's gone till it's really gone.
They always show you first and people are so fascinated by what they see "man that was a great movie/TV show" only to see it play out right before their own eyes.

The timing of this trailer being released around the same time “Leave the World Behind” went to Netflix is kinda spooky.
Jesus is coming, and they even know it, but they hate Him and what He stands for, and they don't care about the rest of us. Same thing happened last year with East Palestine, Ohio trainwreck and the movie White Noise, which came out before the actual trainwreck and featured extras from the actual town of East Palestine, Ohio. These people worship demons. They are truly evil. They use this so called "revelation of the method" because they want to be seen as some divine oracles-like God. But that job is permanently taken by Jesus Christ. Jesus is God. Even the demons know who Jesus is and they do fear Him. Cry out to Jesus and believe in Him and you will be saved.
No coincidences
Not spooky, deliberate. Ask yourself "Who does Hollywood answer to?" Connect the dots and follow the $$$$.
This is a nice pre-game for the real one. Any day now.
Well ! This concept is not unexpected.

How do you know which scene comes first in the actual movie?
@@TheSaltyAdmiral It doesn't really matter. The fact that they're journalists and they would be the first to know about a civil war and its their job to explain what is going on to the people but dont even know what civil war means is hilarious.
Maybe he was making a point by saying "we're Americans", not unaware that it explains nothing about his affiliation during the civil war.
To be fair the average person wouldn’t take sides or be considered a belligerent. If you’re just a civilian you’re still just an American
Pay attention everyone. This is our future.
this film literally proves that the elites rule the world, what are the chances that a movie about a civil war between modern americans comes out right as there is tensions between texas and the feds.

Well here in the US right now, there are people trying to teach our children they can change their gender… And I’d be willing to fight them with the proper leader ship
Yeah, me looking from Europe that doesn t sound bit crazy at all.
The diversity here is just wack. Traditional American culture that made the country great, is now just one of many subcultures, and had been largely replaced by corporate “consumer culture” as well.
@@furthereast6775 And that "consumer culture" will be replaced by whatever culture the millions upon millions of migrants being allowed over the border are bringing with them. Considering where they're coming from, we're probably on the way to having mud huts, Sharia law, and designated shitting streets.
My answer would be “the kind that that likes peace and freedom” can’t go wrong with that I would hope.
In terms of "downfall scenarios" that could befall modern America, I honestly see balkanization (splitting into several factions) as a more realistic path, than a big ole 1860s style civil war with two major sides going at it.
I have the same Opinion. In fact, most of the problems we are facing today as fascism starts in the balkans countries in the 90's with nationalism, ethnic and cultural issues, a dark revival.
Yeah California wants to split into four parts, parts of Oregon want to split over to Iowa or Idaho I forget which. I see Texas Oklahoma and the South East forming a nation. Dividing Virginia for the second time.
@@brassmonkey2697 everybody wants to split in niches and sub niches, looking for small groups with the same interests despite diversity and collectivity of this world controlled for neoliberal thoughts and ideas. Big companies make rules and give the cards where average people can't win.

To the people wondering what Ca and Tx could possibly bond over, these are the two largest economies in the country separately (ca about 15%, Tx about 9%). Combined they make up almost a $a quarter of the country's gdp. Both would do better outside of the union.

I'm overwhelmed by the number of political analysts and war correspondents in the comment section making sure to remind us that a Texas-California alliance wouldn't happen.
It's no accident. This and other movies like 'Leave the World Behind" where America turns on itself. It's the zeitgeist. Half the country wants this, for real.

It says a lot about us, as a civilization, that we seem to fantasize about this kind of stuff regularly. If there is a civil war... none of us have anything to look forward to.

Except it won't be states aligning. It will be many violent skirmishes between various areas and groups. Militias fighting against each other, against various government entities. Many rogue people and groups attacking governments, officials, people they don't like. Think: Ricky Schiffer, James Alex Fields Jr., Craig Robertson, the riots in Portland, or worse, attacks like Oklahoma City.

Although they don't mention HOW it happened. Maybe Texas simply ANNEXED California? I didn't see many people on those Hollywood picket lines that were likely to put up much of a fight!
Give California another couple of years of bad policy and they are on the same page

This could have been a really intriguing movie and a chance to explore the polarizing issues in our country from that apocalyptic standpoint but so far it seem like another CGI exercise.

Plemons just walked onto the set and played the part when the original actor dropped out last minute. Dunst married Plemons after working with him on Fargo. So she called him up and he came in and played the role with no rehearsal. In addition, because of the late change of actors, he goes uncredited in the movie.
