Civil War (2024) Movie Thread

[Ginger Ted]

So .. the premise of this movie is:

The United States stands on the brink of civil war in a near-future setting. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Cailee Spaeny.

This could be interesting in the times we now live in. I have a friend in the USA (Scottish) living there for last 20 years. He is very afraid that this may come to pass, said its very uncomfortable living there last few years, divided polarised society.

Looks good. Pretty daring topic for a movie that will release next year.

The mention of a "three term president" is interesting

 

[Franco Pinion]

The mention of a "three term president" is interesting

I think that's the inciting incident that triggers events.

I've seen mixed reaction from Americans on this; much of it amused mockery at its reductive politics like Texas and California being sudden allies.

Maybe it's a way to show that no political side is beyond nonsense.

Of course in recent years one side is way ahead of the other.

This looks good, but I hope someone will give me a good explanation as to how California and Texas are spearheading the rebel coalition.

A second trailer has been released



It looks like this film's slightly bonkers politics has two secessionist states: Florida & Texas/California.

I wonder which side in the US this is gonna piss off more, assuming it makes a splash at all.

First look with Alex Garland, Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura and Cailee Spaeny.



I saw the trailer in the cinema today and thought it looked like a great spectacle, and I have a lot of time for Garland.

I had hoped for this to be a big budget spectacle but it seems that won't be the case.
