Koalabama and the Cosmos
So the other day, I pulled out the TV guide and noticed there's nothing on, so I decided to check out a movie called "Civil War". I mean its from A24, they made some cool movies despite being Miramax at home. I loved that Iron Claw movie and Hidden Gems, so lets get into such a thing :ehh: . I put the tape in the VCR and adjust the buffering and holy hell what a fukking mess of a movie.

  • No plot other than war
  • Kristen Dunst wasted her acting chops on such a empty fukking movie
  • The WOAT characters in existence of movies (Unlikable humans)
  • Spoiler
    the president chilling in the White House, while it dawn on Dunst THE REPORTER, that he's in the White House and thus leading the dumb ass troops to the White House
  • The young reporter being the most selfish, ignorant, dumb ass incompetent human to grace the 1 hour and 50 minutes of this movie
  • The only redeeming factor is ole boy from Breaking Bad being a serial lunatic as always
  • WHO IS THE fukkING BAD GUY?!?!
  • WHO ARE WE ROOTING FOR?!?
  • WHERE IS THE GODDAMN PLOT??!??!?
Once the movie ended (Worst ending ever), I damn near dropped from my tree at a nearby bystander and clawed the living hell out of them. IDGAF, this is whats hot in Hollywood :why: ?!?!

Bad enough the movie felt like a temper tantrum from the director, but good grief give me something to excuse. Such a waste of time and quite frankly, I'm over movies. I'm just going to binge Turner Classic Movies and pretend that a 40s movie is a current wave because this is preposterous.

1. The president is the bad guy
2. You're not rooting for anyone

3. The plot is the president takes an unconstitutional 3rd term causing states to succeed and create factions. These factions join forces to overthrow the president of the United States and return things to normal.

This movie is probably the realest depiction of the necessary factors to facilitate a civil war in this country. It has elements of succession. Reclamation of territory, economic implications associated with civil war. Large scale fighting. Small scale fighting with guerilla groups.

The other aspect is that the story is being told from the reporters point of view, so a lot of elements are going to be lost because they don't have the entire picture.

Why they just didn't go full-blown three part saga with the movie? Its obvious the plot was there, but the reporter POV just killed the whole dynamic of what the common viewer is trying to understand. In their eye, especially mines...its just a bunch of flat ideas and war. Like the sniper scene...why the soldiers are in a standoff with the guy and whats the backstory behind it?

How the president ended up causing the fractions to begin with?

There's so many questions about this damn movie to the point it's making my neck hurt. This would have been a amazing 3 part saga or just a HBO series. Something to bridge the gap and get me into such a plot, as the movie itself served nothing but emptiness and probably the worst characters in existence. Why not do a Saving Private Ryan and have the plot from a rival perspective? Maybe have the POV of the president or do a radio/internet life feed chatter of the events going on. Something that could give you all the aspects of a plot that seemed to be lost by the dumb ass rhyme and reason from the upstart of the movie (We got to get to DC because the president is cornered, lol).

Go see Horizon on the big screen. It's got a little bit of that old feeling of Kevin Costner movies. Try to see part 1 first before you go see the new one coming out.

heard that movie is more about war journalism than anything

making a movie about the hypothetical American civil war that these white supremacists love shouting for, and not even talking about the actual shyt that would lead to it but instead doing some weird not-political take on it, is the most cac shyt in the fukking world
