Completely unrealistic to the point of being comedic.
Are the elites on the left who control mass media so far removed from hardship that they can't imagine how bad such an event would actually be or are they nerfing their stories on purpose? Do they just fail to do their homework on such a topic and give it any real thought? A realistic portrayal of what would happen if the Republic fractured in this current social climate would legit disturb the audience to the point where suddenly everyone would be looking to get along better. Trump didn't stay in office after 2020, what makes them think he would pursue a third term by use of force? Republicans advocate in favor of nationalism, which is how you unify a diverse people composed of different ethnic and religious groups. On the other hand, Democrats advocate for division by promoting tribalism through identity politics and by vilifying nationalism. If our Republic does fracture it will be due in large part to the Democrats. |

Since I can view with an open thoughtful mind and handle both nuance and criticism, I'm sure this will appeal to me. Garland and A24 have exceptional track records. Some conservatives lament lefties' control of Hollywood but then refuse to engage with the culture, which all but guarantees it will be the sole domain of the progressives. Conservatives have a duty to reclaim a voice in our cultural conversation, and that may mean engaging with material that contradicts or challenges your worldview, but it also may mean giving credit where credit is due...sounds like a lot of closed minds here. But then not everyone is a wanna-be cinephile, I get it. Still, art matters, and if we want to be part of driving our culture, we have to engage with it. Nothing about this sounds like raving leftie propaganda.

In a way, it's like a zombie movie, everyone loves zombie movies because they can project who they hate onto the zombies and who they like onto the guys killing zombies. If you want the movie to say any of the characters belongs to the "other" party, you'll be disappointed. The only clearly evil character is the president because he won't relinquish power and he's used military force against the people of the USA. Is he a Republican or Democrat? Don't know, and it doesn't matter. And it brings in both Republicans and Democrats to the theater, after all, this is a business trying to maximize sales.
The movie also shows how combat highlights and amplifies individual character. Whether or not that's a thing I don't know but I got that message from the movie. One of the photogs is an adrenalin junkie, another is haunted by flashbacks, another is young and oblivious, another won't give up even when limited by his physical condition. The point of the CA/TX alliance is that even people of a deep blue CA and deep red TX can join together and fight against the federal government. Never happen. OK, so what.

I saw it last night. I think they did a good job of getting people to think especially with the ending. To get into the back story of how the western alliance got so strong would have taken too much time so you had to imagine. It did get me thinking about the number of criminal gangs that would prey on defenseless refugees or displaced people as a result of the war. I could definitely imagine people trying to live their lives like it wasn't happening.

Just got back from seeing it tonight. It gets off to a slow start with a lot of dialogue exchanged between the journalists but picks up as they make their way to D.C. Could it have been done better? Absolutely, but I was still entertained.
As has already been noted, Jesse Plemons was spot on with his understated psychopathic delivery as the unidentified ethnic cleanser. And Nick Offerman has all of 3 minutes screen time in the whole movie as the president. Click To View Spoiler The biggest clue that it was an anti-Trump movie was revealed early in the film when the elderly journalist told the younger journalists that they were crazy for wanting to go to D.C. to interview the president since they would be shot on sight because the current administration considered the press enemies of the state.

Ultimately, I did not care for the movie because it was so ambiguous. There was no context for why anything was happening. The Journalists were inconsequential and acted stupidly most of the time. Most of them are supposed to be seasoned, but their actions dont show that.
The Western Forces are supposedly secessionist, but why are they laying siege to DC? Also there are passing references to a Northwestern alliance of states as well as Florida and the south. Why bring it up to never mention it again? Everyone, both (all) sides are shown to be terrible, committing war crimes and atrocities. |

I saw it yesterday. Actually, it was pretty good and at no point did it feel like a Trump hit piece. In fact, it could just as easily have been a deranged Democrat who overstayed his welcome in the White House. The ambiguity of it all actually adds to the confusion, but it comes together a bit at the end. The cinematography is pretty outstanding.

Watched it again, just to make sure I wasn't wrong about this film. Nope, its clearly hit piece on Trump, civil war was clearly caused by Trump-like prez, fertile garbage from the liberal mind.
And so dumb. Like the whole mass grave scene journalist killings could have been avoided by simply not holding the moving cars side by side with the retardo asian journalists. And when the fat black journalist gets shot, just stuff him in the back seat, don't render first aid just let him bleed out while you drive hysterically to nowhere. Like I said, after watching it twice, imo, the entire film is a fetid fantasy from a tortured TDS afflicted liberal mind. There's no doubt |
