Lee saved Jessie in the beginning, she repaid that kindness by getting both Lee and Sammy dead.

[@22mph]

This movie is designed to teach us a lesson and that is “nobody wins in war” in the end the president is assassinated the western forces have won the troops are seen in good spirits with happy music in the background they’ve taken over DC but did they really win? The war left the entirety of America torn in pieces, many are left without home struggling to survive. Alot of death is yet to come as Western forces tries to get the rest of America to surrender. The whole country is like a lawless wasteland with no regard for human life. In the end nobody wins all that’s left is a still divided country and a dead president. The lack of information also contributes to the lesson as it’s not mentioned by anybody why they’re fighting it must not be a good reason showing that the war is pointless and nobody wins.

[@D.M.S.]

The ending was forced. They could just have moved out of the fire. It was unnecessary and predictable. Every death was. I think most of the nation already didn't participate, not even whole D.C. was part of the fighting. If the Western Forces reinstate the original USA with a reformed constitution, that would make impeachment easier, the country could heal again. After that the hunt for war criminals begins. The universal pardon after the first civil war is one reason for the current division after all. And was probably the biggest mistake Lincolns. Even though it was an understandable one. But criminals on both sides could just move on and became influential spreaders of hatred and propaganda that poisoned the minds of future generations. I mean, I read history books of several different states. Every single one is political colored and none of them actually portrait real scientific conclusions. For example: there are school texts from the South that are scientifically wrong and ignore historical documents that falsify their claims and they still teach it. That's just morally wrong, no matter how you look at it. No matter what political opinion you have. Fact is the Founding Fathers intended the current system on the premises that future leaders are integer people, with a political well educated population. People like Nixon, Clinton, Bush or Trump (I don't try to be political here) who use every grey are they can find and the current division of the political parties, because of politically biased media (like FOX and CNN) and social media algorithms (pretty much all of them), were never part of that picture they have drawn for their nation. The current political structure is not able to handle that sort of pressure and societal change and needs to be modernised. English is not my native language, so please forgive spelling errors. I'm from Germany and we also have political problems, but our democracy is younger. We had time to learn from failures and created a political structure that is somewhat able to adept to current times. Yes, there is discussion and worse, but it seems to be goal oriented. Sadly, I don't see that in the US anymore. Only, ideological and profit driven infighting. No matter of Republican or Democrats.

Civil War was an ok movie, however, the script, specifically the backstory did not explain enough about how the conflict started. The story didn't address any political questions about why the Civil War occurred because the President's character, the main antagonist was not developed. If you have a great actor like Nic Offerman then use him. The Western Forces also needed a character to explain why Texas and California succeeded from the USA. The journalist's screen time should have been cut down drastically in the movie. Civil Movie had too many unanswered questions.

[@Swecan76]

You say the President had "fascist" beliefs. What makes it 'fascist'. I never heard anything in the movie pointing towards that. More like he was overstaying his two terms and now in a third term. There was literally nothing else as information. He could have been any political side, but he just became dictatorial. I don't even know on what side the red glasses Jesse Plemmons was on. Was he loyalist? US military under the President? Florida alliance. It was never made clear. Those were slightly annoying. I don't need to know the politics, but I kind of just wanted to know what side some of these groups were on. At the end of the movie it also just ends so Western forces winning doesn't mean end of the civil war or that things will be better. But that was Garland's point. That civil war is bad and no one should want it.

He REALLY keeps the movie vague as the politics go. If you look at it the "loyalist" states would be basically "blue states" in real life. Florida alliance would be mostly Red states and so would Texas. California clearly a blue state. So the President in office doesn't seem likely to actually be conservative given the "loyalist" states supporting him. But that is Garland's point or trick it's all just a jumbled incoherent mess to have any clear cut politics of which party is which etc. He mostly just wanted to show horror of civil war. I mean the actions on all sides are pretty bad and brutal. Of course some worse than others like the Jesse guy. But at the same times, the Western forces just execute everyone in their way, no trials or surrender etc either. I just watched if for the scenes of craziness of seeing a civil war in USA etc.

[@j.j.3349]

Looking at the makeup of the Western forces, it appears as if the majority of the US military has gone over to them. The Chinook helicopter, which was hooking up to a Humvee, had the 1st Air Cavalry patch on its nose. Also, there was a mixture of army, marine, and maybe navy seals involved in the attack on the White House.

Ending was dumb, why would you take an inexperience 20 something kid to war? I know the guy just want to sleep with her it's still dumb.

[@harryc1971]

It gets slated because it does not choose a (current political) side and simply wants to tell a story, will get around to watching it at some point.

[@OWL1177]

This movie does not explain the cause of the coming US Civil War, which should be the reason why Garland made this movie. One must know the conflicts and root causes that led up to the coming civil war. Without an explanation, the movie story flops. It is not realistic, and no one knows the cause of why they are fighting, who the enemy is, and why the US government became so authoritarian. No one knows how biased the US military is toward one side or the other. No one knows what triggered the civil war. California and Texas currently have extremely opposing political views and would never join forces against the US government if they continued to be political foes. No one knows how a new civil war will make the US vulnerable to foreign aggression if China takes over Taiwan or if Russia takes over the former Soviet-block countries while the US is in a civil war. No one knows realistically what states will secede from the union or how they will form a united army to defend themselves against the Federal government. The movie mentions nothing about the Constitution or what happened to the three branches of government. For a very probable and realistic cause of another US Civil War, read "The Coming Tyranny: How Socialism Will Lead to Civil War in the United States."

I seen this today and I still don’t know who the western forces are? Still don’t know why it’s going on ?

[@imWillJ]

In real life if this happens that's how it's going to feel for some people, some citizens are going to be confused on what's going on

[@Cund]

They straight up said at the beginning that it's an alliance of California and Texas.

@@FilmPassionprod Ah yes the... checks notes..... current version of the KGB altering results intimidating people framing people and is politically partisan... also you do know in 1991 they paid a settlement to his family acknowledging they killed martin luther king jr.... but hey... its bad to get rid of a literal fucking gestapo

Well according of this any government who committed attack against America citizens well that means entire America country reactions about their actions that means they responsible for cause trouble they gonna have face consequences their actions.

If civil war happens then nato and Ukraine alone fighting Russia

[@scniors]

i expected too much for this movie...so much talk about the mass brave scene....a small dot compared to the village scene from platoon....

[@shawnp8076]

The movie was ok not great id give it a b- only for the fact they didnt really explain to much of the backstory of what caused the war it was more about the insight from the press side and what they saw, could have been better just my honest opinion.

[@cowetascore8476]

I hated every character in this movie and COULD NOT CARE who lived or died. What a stupid movie.

[@Ozymandias83]

Maybe dont use clips with pirate watermarks in your youtube videos?

[@Ton369]

none of the characters looked at Kirsten Dunst after she saved the girl. Was she a ghost for half the time? I think they were doing an American Pyscho kinda thing, where you don't know if she's really there or not.

[@lokokrz.gaming]

How that doesn't make sense lol she existed alright.

[@zerocool1344]

Yeah not how it's gonna happen if it does.

[@davidmaez7253]

Saw it today...Civil Bore ! Love Kirsten Dunst I remember Bring it On well Bring it Been Gone. She hit the wall pretty hard and now looks like my friend Kurt Boyle if he were ever to transition. I digress , this movie should have been titled " War Photos " and I probably wouldn't have been so harsh. But let's see didn't I see this before ? But with a more rounded storyline named Full Metal Jacket. Just my opinion folks we can agree to disagree.

Did it need explained? I liked the movie, gave it 7/10

Obama's third term using Biden as a puppet sure has gone down hill fast. If things don't change for the better quick fast and in a hurry, this movie won't be a fiction.

This film was terrible. Might be worst plot ever written. It literally made no sense. Best part of film is the glorification of photojournalism. But that’s it.
