Civil War is a divisive movie, but does it really deserve to be?

a lot of people seem to be missing that this movie is not about politics or propaganda, it's about photojournalism and images being used to tell a story (the question is - whose story?). In the film we don't know why the states seceded from the US so its a bit of a guessing game as to who is right and who is wrong but thats not relevant Watch the very last bit/the ending again when jesse takes the shot of the soldiers and the press guy standing over the president, thats the image that shows what really happened. But what a lot of people miss is that there is another shot that appears as a closing credit shot where the soldiers are over the dead presidents body, smiling and showing v for victory signs and the press guy isnt in the shot. The first shot immediately before the credits is the truth, the second shot in that fades in after the credits is the shot that would be published by the winners/the WF. IMHO that was the point of the movie - the images we get to see are rarely the entire truth

And yet they had the lead characters that we are supposed to sympathize with, work for corporate mainstream news outlets like 'rueters' who are part of the problem and part of the reason why the images we see rarely show the entire truth...

The producer literally told people this before the movie even came out, and people still don't get it.

That’s the point, it could happen anywhere and it happens in the U.S.. Not because the U.S. is special but because it is not. The President doesn’t give you some 1776 final line he just doesn’t want to die. Which means that whatever he did all of this for doesn’t fuel him in the end when faced with his own mortality. It tells you that at some point the only reason everyone was fighting for him was because he just didn’t want to die.

War does not tell you who is right, only who is left.

I'd say it's amazing how many people don't get that the movie was vague on purpose. Because most people are stupid.

you would be able to understand the movie better if you get into the shoes of a journalist, you have identified the key point but i encourage you to understand them better....most reporters dont get time to process what they go through, they become numb and kinda of dead inside over time,...the movie captured that isolation and the lack of time to process ones own emotions , yes we see and acknowledge whats going on, thats the job...to report...to document even if it may seem pointless and often there is no time to be human in that process...

I don't think the video argues that the point isn't salient, I think the main character actually pushes the message of the movie at the beginning, and then the movie kind of just proves her right? There's no real ideological opposition or back-and-forth, and the video's arguing that makes for an uninteresting watch. Also the idea of a modern American Civil War isn't at all necessary, you could use any war-torn country to make the point the movie's making. Hence the title; the premise is a lie.

The movie is one big clickbait. It does not deliver what people were seeking.

@@Lakeland_IV The movie is about War Correspondents covering "a Civil War". The clickbait is it just happens to be in America. A generic theme with little to no background.
