Good for you anon.
Trying to figure out if you’re far away enough from a nuclear explosion, eh anon?
I love how this place has turned into turbo reddit.

Yeah, all the cool kids from 2003 are boring adults now.

>Have to take your elderly dad to an anti-white movie that is about the decay and collapse of america.
He won't notice. Boomers never notice all this shit because they don't autistically think about weird implications like that, consciously or otherwise. To them movies are an excuse to see explosions and guns and monsters and car chases and shit. They don't give them an ounce of thought beyond that. If anon's dad enjoyed going out then that's all that mattered.
That's a good thing to do anon.
Did he like it?
Yea he liked it. He thought the ending was a bit too much. He couldn't follow what was going on.
Hell yeah man

Everyday someone posts they saw it, but can't give any details or greentext outline. very organic.
All right, i will tell ya what it's about. It's basically a road trip movie. Group of journos want to get from point A to B. The civil war is in the background for the first 2/3ds of the film. They never tell us why there's a war going on or who's fighting who. We only know that it's coming to a conclusion soon. And our protagonist set out on their journey before the civil war ends.
Dunst & co are war photographers. They take pictures of the war along the way. A lot of things happen, they take pictures of people dying, pictures of people getting shot, they take pictures of someone posing at two guts he hung on the gallow. I am not gonna mention everything here. The best scene is a group of guys who are in the midst of dumping people into a mass grave (part of it is in the trailer). All of it feels more like an arthouse film. I quite liked that part. I would rate this part KINO and certainly watchable.
Unfortunately the third act was fricking shite. The film turns into a chaotic war movie with nonstop action. It was nonsensical, the action scenes weren't very good. Because they never tell us What's going on. It's hard to follow. War is chaotic, okay then I didn't need 30 minutes of non stop chaos. The final act is NOT KINO, unfortunately it ruined an otherwise quite enjoyable film.
A movie about an occurring political event that has as much information about said event as a journalist would be able to provide; meaning, not much. Sounds like modern day political discourse, surface level bullshit.
So their bottom feeders?
>within the first five minutes
>an attractive young white female with a bomb vest runs towards a crowd of "ethnic and colored" people rioting over a water truck holding a large american flag and blows herself and them up
immersion completely ruined

chatgpt post
it's easier to type than war photographers
second half was batter because there was more explosions
it felt like a Michael Bay movie. If Garland wanted an action movie. He should have made an action movie. The final 30 minutes do not connect with the first hour of the film.
It's shit. Every shot is shallow focus. It looks like shit. It plays like shit. It was a boring snooze fest about how scum journos are...SURPRISE! scum journos. The only good part was Jesse Plemmons killing the chink homosexuals for being CCP agents. Also, why the frick would white suburban moms be committing JIHAD SUICIDE BOMBINGS? That happens in the opening scene and was plain moronic. That's how I knew the movie was shit.
Every single one of the cuban guy's lines were ADR because he can't speak English. It's Madame Webb all over again.
It's like everyone that knew how to make a movie suddenly disappeared from Hollywood.
I'm guessing a ton of them quit, or died during the pandemic.
Children of Men (2006) mogs the shit out of it.
CoM is from Alfonso Cuaron, a famously competent filmmaker with many kinos under his belt. Unfair to compare.
I Am Autism is my favorite of his.
>julianne moore
holy shit my mommy is in that movie? i will watch it now
Frick this Black person movie, it tries to be deep but is too shallow. The 3 way split is moronic and trying not to explain why they divided make it make less sense. Hell they could have even mad up an issue. Also why be vague about the political issues if your Bad President is just a Trump Stand in?
Strong start but felt more like a commentary on gonzo journalism by the end. The girl was a snake
I know they make a big deal about Ron Swanson Trump, but do they show the leaders from the other factions?
No. President Swanson only shows up for a few seconds at the beginning and at the end.
Then what's the fricking point, like I get they made him the bad guy but what if the other leaders are worse. What a fricking moronic movie, all I see if war bad, journalist good, and Ron Swanson Trump bad. Like you kill Ron Swanson what happens then? Also why doesn't other countries come in and take over the chaos.
The movie is not about the civil war
Woahhh almost like civil war is a complex issue
Yes, and the movie did not do much to show that complexity. It's just pure slop.
Is he actually supposed to be a Trump stand-in? Is it even clear which party he's in? Why would Texas try to overthrow a Republican
Not really? He's not bombastic. He's pretty much a generic president archetype. There was some line about abolishing the FBI but thats the only reach really.
You see him at the beginning, practicing his delivery right before a televised speech. You see the speech a little bit on TV later on. And you see him at the end get dragged out from under his desk at the oval. Legit nothing specific, it just seemed like some random prez. No parallels at all.
two parallels I can think of
>lies and over exaggerates - "our victory has been called the best victory in the history of humanity" or whatever he said
>hated the FBI enough to disband it.
More of a regan/Nixon vibe if anything. His delivery was resolved, confident. Which is a huge juxtaposition to when they kill him in the end.
I don't really know what they were like. I got more HUUUUUGHGE vibes from it.
you need help
????
They never state wether the president is red or blue.
It wasn't a black lady so it's red.
>Why would Texas try to overthrow a Republican
Why would texas team up with california?
because the president fricked the Governor's sister mate. Yea that's right. Stop getting hung up on this shit. There are so many reasons for wars to break out. Maybe this president was a Texan who decided to end a long-standing beef with his old neighbour with a well placed drone strike. Those do gooder Californians found it petty and decided to help Texans exact revenge. The point is it doesn't matter. Use your imagination. This film is not about the why or the how. If anything this film is more a critique on despicable behaviour by war journalists.
I’m not going to get invested if the background doesn’t make any sense.
“Don’t worry about it bro” is not an excuse.
So you want it to be a different movie than it actually is. The good the bad the ugly has the civil war going on in the background. Now that film is a masterpiece and this certainly isn't. It's more of an illustration that it's been done before to good effect.
They dont show any leaders. There is literally no worldbuilding at all. There is hardly any mention of factions. There is more worldbuilding in that promo image with the map than there is in the entire movie.
I may watch it when I don't have to pay for it
I don't know, let me go read the plot summary on Wikipedia and I'll get back to you guys with my opinion just wait 5 minutes brb
I started watching this after Dune 2 (absolutely awesome) yesterday in IMAX Sydney. Literally the best cinematic experience I've had followed by one of if not the worst experience. It really is the slow boil odd filter atmospheric A24 trope stuff mixed in with a slow motion bomb and some shooting footage. But most of the film (I walked out halfway) is a frumpy 45 year old hard-walled Kirsten Dunst and her somehow equally frumpy, chubby "22 year old" (but looks 14, but still somehow ugly) daughter hanging around as disaffected journalists. It's really really bad, the soundtrack is obnoxious too.
frick you guys, this movie was pure kino.
What exactly did you like about it
everything, especially the tension. I'm not a snob with a turned up nose to explosions, I liked the final act even if you knew how it was going to play out. The only thing I hated about it was that Sonoya didn't get blown up or ran over at the end because I can't fricking stand her acting. It kept me on the edge of my seat.
regardless of what you think, Jessie had a nice ass.
It was insane that in certain scenes you could clearly see she has a fricking dump truck
Yea even with those high ride jeans, it was a bit distracting. Good for her. Career going great, great ass. That’s all you need really
crazy how far a cute face and nice dumper will take you.
the credits being the victory photo as it develops was pure fricking kino
That photo low key looked like the photo from Pablo Escobar’s photo after they show him. Those big, genuine smiles right next to the man you just shot and killed, after going through hell to get there is… not pleasant.
>the credits being the victory photo as it develops was pure fricking kino
I thought the part where Jesse was slowely visually processing of taking a photo as the president just got shot was already 10/10 but as the credits photo-negative was being shown made me smile hard
Well career and a nice dumper are not necessarily correlated but it is crazy how most commonly only one can potentially affect the other. Unless your career is going so great that you develop a nice ass thru a health diet and exercise.
victory photo
>characters discuss how Texas and California are eventually going to fight each other for the White House
>we never see the slightest hint of dissent amongst the rebels
bang bang club v2
/pol/tards are getting filtered from this movie which makes me happy. As a photography buff and a war film afficionado this flick made me all sorts of horny
Satan up to his tricks again.
>photography buff
>war film afficionado
It's a good thing photographers and armchair generals aren't paid to think.
>when?
Soon
>RT says it's shit.
>PrepHole says it's shit.
Congrats PrepHole, you've convinced me to not spend my money on it.
since when is 84% shit?
Anything below a 95% on RT is guaranteed shit. This is due to the massive amount of shill critics, meaning that only a small minority of critics sway the score between a range of 87% and 99%. But this methodology only applies to Amazon/Netflix shows. For art-house and non-American films RT is able to give generally decent ratings.
Absolutely not. Some of the best movies hover around 60% because they filter the masses. You only enjoy the most common denominator bullshit if you only look for 95%+. Npc homosexual
My god man think for your self
>This shitty movie comes out
>Gets overshadowed by a TV show about a video game
the resident russian shill is mad that a black guy kissed a white girl
There's no way Texas and California would be on the same side in anything
This is irrelevant to the story though. They don't explain why the civil war is going on. Just that it is. and they explain that the war is coming to its conclusion. A lot of you wanted a different movie it seems. We spent most of the movie behind the lines of the war. Seeing the effect of the war. That's why I personally felt the Michael Bay - ending was not in line with the rest of the film.
>irrelevant
yeah but they still decided to choose those two out of the 50 (or 48 contiguous) didn't they
They probably did it so it'd be more ambiguous what the actual cause is, which is irrelevant to the actual film. The fact that you can't think of a reason why those two specific states would ally is enough of a reason for why the writers would want to do it, it makes it much harder for people to say "it supports the left" or "it supports the right" when two "enemy" states are allies against literally everyone else.
Movie made by a radical far left extremist activist who was trying (and failing) to make a movie that seems to be neutral.
i assume it was also rushed for election season.
Smile butthole! (Oh wait you can't)
>Texas and California fighting together.
Has the writer even been to America?
Who did they have win it?
The president loses. the insurgency wins. But the movie isn't about that. It's more of a story about a couple of war journalists. One is jaded, the other is young and still naïve. The other is an adrenaline junkie.
I suppose that is the only way you could make a movie like this, be vague about the war, and whos winning, and why they are even fighting.
So the movie is journoslop? Gay.
Is this movie really about journo scum that just want to beat the revolutionaries to washington so they can take pictures? I hate journos so much its unreal
they better show influencer "journalists" getting lit up by republichads while they chant "die propagandist!"
Any webms of qts dying? I've always gotten kind of turned on thinking about female soldiers being shot and killed in combat. Just pale young qt3.14s hiding in trenches in the woods or foxholes desperately trying to keep themselves out of the line of fire, or else rushing through the trees and bullets ripping into their soft innocent bellies.
No one dies in this movie except at the beginning a white suburban mom does a suicide bombing, a fat soldier, three soldiers are executed with a gatlin gun, two chinese CCP agents, secret service members, the press secretary, and the president.
For a movie called Civil War, there is very little Civil War going on. It's a movie about how journos are scum and how they rationalize getting rich and famous off people being murdered and executed in horrible ways.
After the opening jihad bombing it cuts back to the journos in their posh NY hotel all cheering and having a good time drinking and partying because they got some hecking epic! shots of the jihad bombing. It's a journos are scum movie.
it's a stupid-ass movie.
the reddit thread about the movie is full of shills/paid posters lmao.
literally posting stuff like "chilling", "Nerve-wracking", "haunting" kek
