As an American, I find this trailer incredibly unnerving and triggering. 10 years ago, I would have thought the mere idea of it was silly and over the top, but……not today…..😢❤
I've heard it said that this movie will normalize us killing each other. I sure hope not. I'm hoping it warms us all and helps us to unify for good not evil.
The movie touches on a theme, but the thing most like to normalize indifference to entire populations dying out is climate change. Checkout "The Ministry for the Future",a book by Kim Stanley Robinson.
We no longer agree on what is good and evil anymore. You can ask one American about a subject of if it is good or evil then ask another American and today you can expect different answers if they live more than 10 miles apart. When that isn't cohesive in a nation, civil war becomes inevitable. In all reality, it's a miracle the United States hasn't gone into such a war sooner. But the last 8 years of rapidly growing and deepening division is now irreversible and makes this inevitable.
Wow… 😮 the idea of this really happening is so close to home. The fall of America and it’s empire would mean world war 3 and a worldwide collapse. I personally feel it’s already started in a gradual kind of way. As a British person looking at America from the outside and living in the U.K. that shares many similar political issues with the US, I can see the cracks in American society becoming wider and potentially deteriorating in the way this trailer suggests. I hope the movie does this justice, it’s a big topic to deal with in a movie format.
Sadly it’s come to this for us here my friend, and as much as that pains me to see us this divided I don’t see this getting any better in our election year. Saying that I would fight for my Home State of California if a tyrant ever took office . Wish us luck. 🏴 🫱🏽🫲🏾 🇺🇸
mainly only movies of cool british spies infiltrating fascist regimes or the battle of britain or us having our revolution against the tyrants of the 18th century in britain man like what are you on about? the world just is foaming at the mouth waiting for america to fall. even our allies that we saved from becoming german speaking people 75 years ago and under the murderous rule of the empire of japan. Just remember the beloved Churchill begged us to come into the war. he appreciated us.. other brits? i think theyre just mad we broke off from them and became much much more powerful than they ever were @@LordLOC
Thanks Mark! I always enjoy your reviews and reactions. It was Popcorn Junkies that brought me to your channel in the first place. I think this film will do very well here in the states. We need some kind of catharsis.
I think the reactions to this movie are just as interesting as the concept and content of the movie. It's quite strange seeing Americans getting so hung-up on the idea of California and Texas forming a military alliance. That might be a good example of just how unimaginative so many Americans are, how insular and myopic they've become. I think that's one of the most plausible things about it. Both Texas and California are in the top three for military power in the US. They're among the top three economies in the US, too. Under a civil war scenario it's also plausible that one or both would be under a military leadership instead of political. The imagined political leanings of the majority of citizens in either state is entirely irrelevant under this scenario but most Americans viewing this trailer seem intellectually unable to consider it.
I was interested to see reactions and commentary from foreign reviewers myself. I see at least one other American in the comments echoing a sentiment that a lot of us are a bit fearful of. Whether you be conservative, moderate, or more liberal, there's a very real underlying unease across the entire nation. I am a moderate and I can have conversations with either very conservative or very liberal friends and I can't say that I've seen this much tension, nervousness, and sometimes outright animosity as I have in a very long time. You can listen to many leaders or scholars who may say that Trump could never be re-elected, but there's a very real sense that isn't guaranteed. Also, I am not even sure all of the damage would come from Trump himself regardless of the outcome of the 2024 election. There are some extreme elements nowadays who are likely to respond in some form or fashion just in general to whatever undesirable outcome they feel. This goes for both extremes (although we can certainly anticipate the far right-wing, more fascist/nationalist may have the potentially more violent reactions). Nonetheless, if the United States Supreme Court does not affirm the Constitution disqualifying Trump, I think that speaks to a very deep problem within every branch of our government. The judicial branch is supposed to be minimally partisan and base its judgments on interpretation of established laws. I am not confident in that today. I see a lot of forces coalescing around an establishment of a more authoritarian reimagination of our nation. See Project 2025 for an example. Unfortunately, I believe Biden has proven himself to be more akin to a Jimmy Carter than a Barack Obama and may not have a lot of intrinsic strength to defeat Trump on the ballot. People are very short-sighted and seemingly perfectly apt to ignore the very real threats posed by power-hungry players who actually have little interest in serving the American people for an overall good than they do dealing with a President they simply have some disagreements or frustrations with, even though the assumed alternative is a very dangerous one.
To prevent cries of 'predictive programming', the war should be over something innocuous...... is it proper to say Orange Soda vs Orange Pop vs Orange Coke
Gave me goosebumps!!!!! I agree the human element being more realistic is far scarier. (Have you watched Leave The World Behind? Watched last night. Interested to know what you thought)

Come to the UK my friend. Its not much better here, we don't have guns but we do have tea
@@vonvardI do l love the UK ❤❤…….and tea 😂❤
In 1995 I was in the Rodney King riot. !979, Elk's club riot. Watts riot of 1965. Your gonna have lots of fun. Lets see how liberals fight.
Is Jessie Plemons the most talented actor working in Hollywood right now? I think he is
One of them , there are some very good other young actors around ATM as well
This movie seems like it could be reality in the not so distant future. I do want to watch it.
Thank you Mark for another great review 👍
He also wrote The Beach
Alex Garland is brilliant
That moment sold me as well! So well done. So chilling 🥶
Oh, this looks eerily true to life,I'd usually like this sort of movie, but this feels unsettling. Humans are way more scary than aliens😬

@@LordLOC My brother and he just retired DOD. He said he heard it on a podcast but I'm not sure who.

Alex Garland who is English seems very brave to make a film about America going to War with itself
He certainly does doesn’t he?
Often it takes an outsider to see what is happening.

Rewatching this after having seen the film, congrats on your sobriety you wonderful man. Still struggling alcoholic here

Maybe this movie will have the opposite affect after millions of people see it and we won't have a civil war.
