The director says the reason for California and Texas working together was to be an example of Americans with 2 different ideologies working together as Americans should. Not sure how that’s confusing. In his words he’s mind blown on why people are so divided on Americans working together than the fascism they’re fighting against. I’m also glad yall laughed at the same exact moments I laughed at 😂
We talk about this in the post discussion. It makes sense that they could come together for a moment just to secede then go separate ways. We get the intention, but in today's political climate, with two states that are so opposite socio-politically, it just seems highly unlikely.
@@joshandcasey I understand where that comes from because of the polarized politics right now but people all around the us fight alongside each other all the time in the army, marines, navy, etc… Im optimistic that Americans when faced with terrorism will work together.Civil war is just exaggerating that idea by blatantly saying California and Texas. In reality they both work together consistently
@@joshandcasey I also thought the Cailee spaeny character wasn’t going to have her ID when they got to the shelter at the stadium but then took it after the fact of the two young girls being aware of where they are :They’re too young to be in this position and the responsibilities they now face. Even though some of the photographers seem indifferent on sides, I do believe Joel and the older black man are very open to where they stand. Joel is chatting up to the boogaloo boys, following WF into the White House and feeling anger and resentment toward the president at the end of the film. Jessie on the other hand I believe is turning into Kirsten dunsts characters mentality. The director has stated there’s a rainbowish blur that gets harsher surrounding Dunsts character to show her instability and at the end Jessie also has a rainbow blur around her.
@@imnotac0p well also some of the interviews I’ve heard Alex garland talk about how it IS a political film and a film that talks about politics. I took California and Texas working together as a political statement. Fuck the divisiveness, when shit happens, Dems and republicans SHOULD be working together and I think it’s clear it’s pissed and upset a lot of people, which says a lot about them
The guys in the Hawaiian shirts were a nod to the Boogaloo movement. I really liked this movie. The biggest complaint I had was the Secret Service being in suits and ties and shooting 9mm submachine guns. The Secret Service are serious people with serious gear. They're trained to parachute the president out of danger in a situation like this. They would have been kitted up to the gills with military gear, not in their covert suits and ties.
@joshandcasey that's part of a Civil War, though. Most of the time, you don't know who is who. That's what the sniper scene was, for I suppose. All you know is they are trying to end us, so we have to end them.
@joshandcasey I feel that would have added to the feel, tho. In a real CW. We won't have unifors and we won't know what side, the other person on. That comes in the sniper scene. They ask who they are shooting at, they said someone shooting at them.
@@joshandcaseythey are war press and they are documenting a historical event. Through photos and journaling in their laptops. I don’t think they have internet, it’s mainly just so there is documentation proof. So people can see, learn and not fabricate things throughout time . That’s just my educated guess on making sense of it.
Love the react. But despite the repeated remarks about the impracticality of using film cameras, it's worth pointing out that James Nachtwey, possibly the greatest active war photographer, still uses film cameras in his war correspondence
I actually really enjoyed this film. Some parts I raised my eyebrow to like the younger girl getting Kirsten Dunst killed. But overall it had a really eerie tone I haven’t felt from many other films. And I love a good ass clenching thriller.
This movie in the theater was some of the most intense I’ve EVER seen. The last 45 minutes was crazy.
Wish I got to see it in theatres there were definitely some intense scenes!
I regret not seeing this in theater this is my favorite movie of 2024 (so far)

@@joshandcasey "it just seems highly unlikely" That's the point.... It's not a political statement, it's an anti-war movie....

You are supposed to use ear protection. It was wasn't as prioritized in the past but the military is putting a bigger emphasis on it.

You're right. I suppose they just wanted the audience to be able to distinguish who is who.
@joshandcasey that's part of a Civil War, though. Most of the time, you don't know who is who. That's what the sniper scene was, for I suppose. All you know is they are trying to end us, so we have to end them.
Not all secret service is the same

@@ThATgUY-bu5ynin a real civil war Washington DC would look like Bakemut. Not a single building standing.
“i wonder what she’s doing with all these photos” dude like use your thinking cap…. she’s a fucking journalist 💀
Haha I think we were questioning the reporting structure like how news organizations and businesses were operating during that time

Earpro is used in combat
Figured, but thanks for confirming!

Glad you liked it! Film definitely has it's place, just the convenience factor of digital (in our opinion) would make life easier
great break down guys! new to the channel but your perspective was dope!
thank you!
only qualm is movie audio is too low
Loved this movie
I love this movie. I think it got so much hate because people wanted a war movie
Absolutely, the marketing for the movie made it seem completely different

@@Slimchimrichalds yeah as Americans, the concept is super eerie
Wagner Moura é o nome do ator... vão procurar se informar primeiro 😅
Great actor!
Couple of regular xQc reactors over here.
все у наших военкоров слизали охренеть
Yeah this movie was mid, it’s definitely a movie.
Definitely a movie 😆
