Wealthy western liberals have grown up in such comfort and ease that they can't comprehend the horror of any major break down in society so this film will be laughable at best.
Plus, this is going to be pure leftists anti-conservative propaganda. If you want to sit through the equivalent of a two hour lecture on how evil you are then by all means go see it. I'll pass. |

Quote HistoryDid I hear that right in the trailer, California and Texas secedes and I assume are the ones in rebellion? How in the world would, even in fantasy land Hollywood, would that happen? Cali is extreme far left, and Texas is well... Texas, no way that changes overnight. That alone seems a bit much for the viewer to accept. Edit to add: Right at the start the narration mentions "19 states seceded" and "western forces and Florida alliance" and at the 33 second mark is the mention of western forces being Texas and California.

How in the world would, even in fantasy land Hollywood, would that happen? A Hispanic uprising. Otherwise, red California (they do have red counties) successfully revolting against blue california first, with Texas backing those rebels. FWIW, I think they just paired them up so that contemporary Americans wouldn't accuse the film of political bias. |

FWIW, I think they just paired them up so that contemporary Americans wouldn't accuse the film of political bias. Yeah that's about the only conceivable scenario. There is a reversed reflection of a national map with TX and CA in blue, with several north central/western states in red and a swath in white along with some southern states also possibly in red. |

There are some unverified rumors/leaks that the national split isnt over rep/dem or race, one leak says there is some sci-fi aspect where near future tech or invention that causes unrest and the split.
Also it says president Ron Swanson is on his 3rd term so that might be part of it if hes going the dictator route. |

I'm still in the wait for reviews camp before I spend any money on the movie. Wouldn't surprise me at all based off the director's words that they try to claim some kind of sci-fi reason causing the break up while showing it's the right wingers who are really the bad guys to deflect from it being a "political message". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: This doesn't look like your typical A24 movie Yeah, that surprised me too. Not what I expected coming out of A24. Could be dogshit, who knows. Not going to make any predictions until I see it. https://www.vulture.com/2023/10/a24-action-movies-ip.html A24 the auteur-focused studio behind such films/classic Halloween costumes as Pearl, The Lighthouse, and Everything Everywhere All at Once is looking to diversify. By becoming the same as all the other studios. The Wrap is reporting that A24 is looking for "action and big IP projects" as part of a new strategy "deemphasizing the traditional character/auteur-driven dramas" the studio has made previously. A24 became the first studio in Oscars history to win the big six categories (all the acting awards, plus Best Picture and Best Director) last year, but does that equal big buckets of cash in a Scrooge McDuck-style vault? Apparently not. In pursuit of their Scrooge McDuck money pit dreams, A24 will be "widening the aperture" of their offerings giving people cinema about generational trauma, but also movies with shit blowing up. Or, in the case of Everything Everywhere All at Once, both. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I didn't get that at all. I thought they were just depicting the reality of the situation, which is that most people would just be neutral and go about their lives as best as they can. Every man, woman and child isn't just going to pick up an AK and start slotting people they're politically opposed to. Many people in the Civil War, on both sides, fought begrudgingly. The Irish didn't want to fight for the liberation of blacks. They rioted against the draft. Equally possible, if not more probable. Combine that with them not being able to answer what kind of Americans they are seems to indicate that theme. |

There's no red, but I suppose how you could assume you're seeing red, distorted through reflection\referaction, but I think that's more of an effect of being "trained" for so long looking at political maps using red and blue. Or, again, I've had a stroke. |

How much complaining do you do when you watch porn? Sheesh. LOL are you involved in the movie? Seems you are a bit upset. People always complain when movie plots/storylines don't make any sense. I assume the movie's story line will probably explain how the country got to the point where TX, CA, FL and a number of other states are suddenly on the same side rebelling.
