The review mentions that war crimes are being committed by all the factions involved, suggesting that none of the sides are intended to be portrayed as "the good guys".
ETA: I'm guessing that's why the protagonists are journalists. That could be a pro-journalism bias, but it allows the audience to not identify with any side. |

Quoted: All I need to know is who are the non government peeps fighting the establishment and why. Libs fighting trump fucking Eyeroll. View Quote It's not all civilians vs govn't. It's militias vs militias with organized military mixed in, likely with the military fractured as well. Ya know, the same way a real civil war would play out. |

I don't believe they possibly COULD make it unbiased. Not because they are evil, or trying to hide some bias. I think they probably set out to make it completely unbiased, to make as much money as possible, I just don't think people are capable of doing that, especially film makers. They believe they are the middle of the road politically, even though we see them as far left. They will present their "Middle of the road" and it will be far left.

It’s in the first few seconds of Trailer 2. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cA4wVhs3HC0 I believe the tanks that aren’t CGI are viz mod British Chieftans. I’d say most liberals (not hard core leftists) equate owning “assault weapons” and tactical gear with evil conservatives. |

Quoted: Just because the words "democrat" or "republican" aren't flat out stated, doesn't mean a thing. As many here have noted already, the most liberal part of the state said ut was a great film. There are two kinds of people. Those who can extrapolate. View Quote Guess they should have debuted the movie in Gillette, WY |

First trailer has a very quick blink scene right after the 240 gunner firing at night.

Quoted: https://www.polygon.com/24099490/civil-war-review-2024 Studios don't generally do high-budget partisan* polemics....because they want as many asses in seats/buys on streaming as possible, so you don't try to alienate half the potential audience out of the gate. My guess is that it's a "fictional" Civil War, in a parallel reality where the political fracture lines are sufficiently different from Reality-2024 that folks on both the Left and Right can watch the movie and see themselves in the designated protagonists. I'm going to give it a chance. Although, TBH, I think this sort of story would be better as a streaming series, For All Mankind-style. *-yes, that includes the "Woke" shit coming out of Disney, et al. Those are misfired attempts by out-of-touch producers to tap into what they think the moviegoers want to see. View Quote That argument doesn't hold water. |

Quoted: I can see Texas and Florida with Northern California. Northern California is not Central or Southern California. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Written by raging libs. Very doubtful. What Bizzaro universe has Texas and Florida siding with Kalifornia? I can see Texas and Florida with Northern California. Northern California is not Central or Southern California. CA is likely at least 5-6 different cultures and subtypes. Which are tough to draw geographical lines around. The "Valleys" of CA and TX probably would get along fine. (The audience would need subtitles to follow along though.)

One of the Boogaloo dudes in Hawaiian shirts is Black....which might be a good sign that the Good/Bad isn't color-coded.... So many posters seem to think this movie will try to make one side "good" and another "bad". From the sound of the reviews, there are no good guys or bad guys, just an unfolding of chaos showing how terrible another civil war would be. I think I understand how the movie plays out and it is a pretty brilliant way to do it without pissing off half of your potential audience. |

People have a hard time understanding that not everyone feels and believes the same as they do. It is easy to see California and Austin as allies - and easy to see neither understands that the majority of Texas is not like Austin.
Of course there is a bit of an opposite to that. Take somebody out of their environment and put them into one that is completely different, and often they will adapt to their new environment. Musk moved production to "Austin" because it was California East - but he did not actually move it to Austin, he moved it to the area around Austin - which is vastly more conservative than the city. Musk does not act nearly as much like a person from California now. |

Quoted: I'd grant you that. By not identifying the political party of the president in that scenario, they can claim they are not being political and ignore the rest of their clear bias as they clearly show boogboys doing terrible shit while at the same time, ignoring the inner cities devolving or the amount of heinous shit the antifatards would be pulling off that would make the boogboys look like choir boys.
