Good movies
1. Good fellas
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Brave Heart

Civil war was terrible. There was no point to story? No tears to shed if main characters died. Save your money and watch on Max.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but just going off what other people have said, I think you're right.

This isn't a movie about gun owners rising up to save their nation from a tyrannical government in the name of liberty. The director never intended it to be.

I’m not saying you are wrong. It’s a movie titled “Civil War” and all the trailers showed only the cool scenes for the most part.
What I didn’t expect was a movie about a group of journalists driving around being fucking idiots for 1hr50min. The movie title and trailers are very misleading.

That sounds as bad as OP described. I learned my lesson about movies suggested by Arfcom with “Nefarious”.

That “totally not religious at all” movie felt like a Catholic Mass.

Pretty much this in a nutshell. I noticed long ago that the GD video game cadre judges movie quality based on rounds expended, violent death by any means and high speed chase sequences. Plot, dialogue...character development? That shit's for faggots, and any movie that goes more than ten minutes without action is boring AF and a waste of time.

Not defending this movie, just a general observation.

True.

On the other hand...just based on the descriptions I feel like this movie is probably a more accurate representation of what a modern Civil War woild actually look like, as opposed to the Civil War that most of us imagine in our heads. In reality, the civil war movie we WANT would be no more realistic than the Marvel movie franchise.

If a civil war ever actually happens, arfcommers are going to be very disappointed when half of them die within the first couple weeks after their insulin supplies run out.

Went and saw it today.

After months of speculation, the actual movie is just that, a movie. No overt political nonsense, no hidden messages, just a movie.

Some really cool scenes, good soundtrack and the movie moved right along.

There are no heroes and no real good guys. The two sides naturally hate each other and it shows.

It was entertaining, to me at least. That's all I look for in a movie.

I'm not sure how anyone could think it was anything other than that unless they're living under a rock. However, I do see how someone expecting Red Dawn or The Big Red One would be disappointed.

If anyone hasn't seen it yet, and wants to see a "war movie" or "action movie" or wants to see a movie with clear good guys and bad guys, go see something else.

I haven't seen the movie, and won't any time soon.  If for no other reason than I'm not giving the leftoids that made this my monies.

I did watch the Timcast IRL review and based on that no one on ARF is going to convince me the president is not supposed to be DT.

So the background is DT seizes power (or doesn't relinquish power) and he ends up killed while cowering from a diverse group of "Special Forces." Sounds like a leftist wet dream.  And now OP tells me that's just the background and the overlay is shitty too?

I might watch it for the combat scenes when it ends up somewhere free.

It's tough for me to believe there aren't any overt political or hidden messages; seems like the entire premise and launch date alone are overtly political.

For me, there are quite a few red flags here.  From what I’ve read, the main story is the passing of the torch from a seasoned war correspondent to a younger one but this movie could have taken place in any war setting.  Why not the Russia- Ukraine war?

Nope, it was done in the setting of an American civil war and released during an election year in a climate where civil war and political discourse is the highest.  What a coincidence that this film will probably be released to DVD and the streaming/download market just before the election?

This is no accident.  This purpose is to further spread discourse and political division in an already tinderbox environment, as well as normalizing the concept of a modern day civil war.  Seeing it on film makes it much easier to accept its possibility when it actually happens.

If America does enter a civil war, that will be the end of this country.  Isn’t it pretty obvious that the Left has been trying to do this at least since Obama and probably before?

point being to journalism, not "journalism". <- note the air quotes

Garland quote
Attempting to remove bias and usually not using the word ‘I,’ trying to objectify it or rather to be objective in that reporting, that was the dominant form of journalism for a long time, and it had the benefit of feeling more trustworthy than news organizations that are effectively working as propagandists in one way or another,” Garland said.


I'd argue propaganda was part of journalism back to 60s, but nothing like it is now.  Stream of stories from NY times and NPR how their explicit bias hides any stories that could reflect well on Trump, etc.

I haven't seen it yet (been on call), but portrayal is supposed to be journalist who report facts, instead of their opinions and how you are supposed to think about events.  

It's a pretty shocking statement coming from someone in hollywood. lefties are still trying to spin it as "orange man bad" and getting mad they can't.

When it's about how journalism differs from propaganda, could there be a better time to have launched it?
and Garland's position is propaganda bad.

I was hoping someone else noticed that. Could have had that character be an Asian. Or Hispanic, or a black man or even a white woman, a few of them have been Press Secretaries over the years. But that's who they chose to be the Press Secretary in a movie all about the press and a president who had a rather... Murderous disdain for the press in general.

But maybe I'm reading too much into it.

While it may be a lame film, the good thing is that Civil War 2 themed movies, TV, games may become more socially acceptable as more of these things get made.

Its ok for alphabet deviants to kill people because they are trying to kill them.

It's ok to kill a sitting president without a trial because you're the good guys and the media got a quote.

The movie makes no sense other than a bad guy president who appears popular to someone and unpopular to others.

The social/cultural ques are Hawaiian shirts and multi colored hair/fingernail people and those ostrich people that have no clue anything is going on.

I think it's basically a movie that tells a certain group of people that it's ok to fight an illegitimate government up to assassination of a president without trial.
