    Jesse Plemons Fun Fact: He was a last minute replacement for this film. Nobody wanted this part really, and the guy who was gonna play the role dropped out sick. Kirsten told Alex hey, Jesse's here with our kids, soooo? 😁 And Jesse went to local thrift stores and grabbed a bunch of sunglasses and stuff for Alex to choose from when he did the lines. Alex was sold and Jesse was most definitely probably better than whoever called in sick. Edit: For clarity, Jesse is married to Kirsten in case you didn't know.

    One thing that hit me hard about this movie was the sound design. I’ve never heard gunfire in a movie sound like it’s supposed to until this movie.

    The beautiful thing about thriller movies is the sense of dread of the unknown. Films like Sicario and Sicario: Day of the Soldado do an excellent job at building up the tension and keeping the audience guessing with anxiety for what comes next. I’ve only watched one of Alex Garland’s films, annihilation, and I loved it! I can’t wait to watch Civil War, and I hope it does give me the suspense Sicario did.

      This movie is definite propaganda created to sow the seeds of US deconstruction however it'll take a greater economic event before this could even be a possibility.

    You mentioning the shock of the image is what makes this movie so amazing to me.
    The power of journalistic photography even in film where sounds, explosions and vfx are trumped by the black and white photos edited in.
    The neutrality whether it’s for the world or against the world and if all that spectacle capturing is actually helping anyone.
    The fighting scenes not being thrilling but more frightening and the grayness of it all is just so great. Yeah the apoliticism can be described as “cowardly” but fuck trying to teach something to people when they probably don’t want to hear it. Fuck your sides, that’s literally why it’s following the journalists.

      War photography has played a vital role in documenting history and shining light on extremely uncomfortable truths, but I can't help think that in a country so divided by separate realities that its at war with itself, combined with the ability to convincingly fake pictures and videos, not enough people would care about these photos to justify the extreme risk. People already stubbornly cling to their realities, avoiding and dismissing anything that challenges their beliefs.. Now add in technology that makes it even easier to doubt anything you don't want to believe? People just wouldn't pay attention.

      The ending ruined what could have been a great movie. The last 5 minutes were really anticlimactic. They just shoot the president and cut to some corny music and The End. I wish they would have at least shown them mourn Lee's death. Or at least give the President a chance to make one last dramatic speech, and show the soldiers conflicted about whether they really wanted to shoot the President. Maybe show some of them break down in tears when they realize that America, as they know it, is over.

    People hate it 'cause it lacks catharsis for the most part (again, like real life...or TWD). In truth, Lee's death and Jessie's nosedive into the Joel-like adrenaline-junkie emotionally stunted life is the cathartic payoff. And IMO fully delivered (also the name choice of Joel had to be deliberately invoked).

In an actual civil war scenario, there wont be a neat little bow of an ending. Theres no "you know guys, ive learned something today" speech where everyone comes together and breaks bread while singing kumbaya. More than likely at the end of the film, nothings changed, and the war will just keep chugging along.
