The amount of war crimes in this movie would ensure that this war would go on for years, it would not have to be force on force,but more of an insurgency.
@@rungfang27 They literally say that after the President is dead the WF and Florida Alliance are probably going to fight each other. The Presidents faction is unlikely to pose much of a challenge though. Their entire political point is to maintain the authority of the president. Even the ones who didn't surrender are going to find that a little pointless without said president. Maybe they will go down the line of succession, but that's only a dozen people long, and it's entirely possible that some of those people are in the WF or Florida Alliance.
These few minutes are probably 50% of the CGI in the entire movie. Maybe more. Remember, this is a 50 million dollar movie by an independent studio, and they needed to portray a road trip through the west coast of a war torn America on that budget, while leaving enough left over for a few well known actors.
I was wondering the same thing. I get the idea of "shoot who is shooting at you" but how do they know when to just start. Everyone is wearing the same thing and arm patches are too small to use as identification. Did the commanders call each other and say "we will start on this side so you should shoot this way"?
If they are shooting at you, they are on the wrong side. Joking aside, communication. You're in touch with your leadership so you know if you have friendlies operating in the area and where they are. Otherwise, if they are not your unit, they are the enemy and you engage. Friendly fire happens.
Practical answer, wouldn't matter cause it wouldn't get that far If we start fighting eachother we will be ar our weakest and our foreign enemies will invade
2:03 a 64 dropping that low with all those obstacles AND engaging targets that close is far, far more ridiculous than the potential for an actual battle taking place in DC in the near future.
And the 64 using hellfires at that range and against soft targets instead of the rocket pods they’re equipped with in the scene. At least it looked sick.
Look at them like this, possibly the pilot was a civilian who was given at most one or two hours of training, and they gave him the Apache because there were no really qualified pilots.
must be supply chain issues with the 30 mm chain gun ammo, so they mounted a mini gun with ample 7.62 nato ammo avail. and inserted more tracer rounds. They sure look pretty lighting up like that.

I love how people are taking this scene as a "Left is bad" or "Right is bad" when the plot is about both parties united together to remove a dictator president from power.
That Apache scene is totally ludicrous. It's close enough to the Loyalist positions that it could easily be taken out by small arms fire and it's surrounded by tall buildings so it can't take evasive maneuvers if need be. More realistically, the Apache should've either stayed above the buildings and taken out the enemy position from a safer distance or hung back and let the WF's better protected Abrams right below it take it out. Also, the sound department for this movie was apparently too lazy to do any research since Apaches in real life don't have 1,000+ RPM miniguns, they have much slower firing auto-cannons that only fire around 600 RPM.
I am an active army officer. It's not even an armored target, and the use of Hellfire is wrong for shooting at buildings. A 2.75-inch rocket is adequate. Above all, the fighting is so ridiculously close XD

One problem I had with this is I don't think the Apache would've been able to get that low amongst close building like that. Rotorwash produces forceful airwaves which would have bounced off the building back into the rotors. Which then would have pushed the helo down onto the street.
It’s an independent movie produced by a company of less than 300 people on a budget of 50 million. They couldn’t afford any more action scenes, and they couldn’t afford for half of Americans to boycott the film because it criticised them.
I feel like that wasn't quite the point. The idea wasn't to portray war straight up, but rather portray the material conditions war would bring. Shit's fucked for everyone, combatant or not.

This may be one of the worst representations of combat I have ever seen. They really don't think the capital of the US is going to be this lightly defended? The real thing would look more like a high-tech version of the Battle of Berlin. An absolute shit show with Spec Ops, armor, air support, extremely accurate artillery, short and long range missiles, and there is no way two HMMWV's (humvees) are going to drive through the front gate. There would be no front gate to drive through. You don't have to be a military historian to know that this would look like hell on earth and not just organized chaos.
This was years deep into the civil war.. the current U.S. Military was a shell of its former self with the western forces overtaking it. At this point most U.S. Generals had already surrendered with only the 3rd term president and his deep loyalist remaining at the White House
The reason why DC was lightly defended was because according to the movie, most of the President's generals who understood that the war was lost and decided to order their forces to stand down, thus allowing the Western Forces and Florida Alliance to move into DC. The only forces remaining in DC were the remnant gov forces still loyal to the President.
The Loyalist Forces are clearly on their last legs by this point. Hell, the movie starts with the Western Forces being only a short way from DC. Now, Generals who have served the regime for years have thrown in the towel and probably brought with them to soldiers they command. Those who are still fighting are doing so out of loyalty or the assumption they'll be shot when trying to surrender. Plenty have probably abandoned their uniforms or fled- It's been suggested that the escape attempt of the Beast was an attempt by some individual Secret Service members to escape DC instead of some sort of distraction. The point is, the Loyalists are held together by the sheer desperation of a man who knows he's dead and simple refusal to think for themselves.
People would ask how should they tell which side is which, The Western Forces have the standard OCP/ACU uniform and the Loyalist Forces have a darker tan-brown OCP/ACU uniform
The best part of this movie is, both major forces who were trying to rush the Capitol first to claim the kill, it did not seem like they would get along very well after removing the President.
I'm in the Press. You would wear more PPE than those photographers and media people are wearing in this movie. Helmet and chest protection, even crotch and back.
This movie could have done well with a UN Peacekeeping force, perhaps Canadians, British, Irish, Chinese, or even Russians. Experiencing first-hand the atrocities on both sides, helping with aid distribution and refugees. I don't think the rest of the world would have stood idly by while the biggest superpower destroyed itself.
It's a photography movie to me tbh. The civil war is just a vehicle to help tell the story of the two togs. Why do Americans always froth at the mouth about battle scenes? And critique anything to do with guns? Obsessed much

Check out "The Assembly" its an Anti War movie about a disgraced captain and his unit accused of cowardice during the Chinese Civil War. Casualties mount up, and theres visibly less people as time goes on. They even makw aure to include casualty figures
this movie with 1) more assault action like this 2) less "waaaaaa! I want to be in the press!"....."NO! serious press business is serious don't you understand how serious it is!!!!" would have made for a great movie
As an aside and curiosity cause I haven't seen this movie yet, at 5:07, is that Scott from Kentucky Ballistics? Like that looks and sounds exactly like him
The country in the movie itself was already divided into several factions. The Loyalists forces, The Western Alliance forces, Florida Alliance, and the last one who's never been mentioned in the movie is New People's Army. It is said the NPA has ties with China, or presumably under Chinese direct control.
Because they had it. I've seen footage of dudes in Afghanistan shooting AT-4s at rocks. It's better than sitting there shooting at them with small arms while in an exposed position all day. The way they're fighting from their vehicles like that - I know it's just for the sake of the cinematography, but it gives the sense that they were ambushed and were not expecting to take contact from the Lincoln memorial.

the USA reconciled.
Sergeant Sharia abolished lobbying system, make it illegal. he took over Federal Reserve and seized them under USA jurisdiction. no more private owned central bank.
USA free from AIPAC.
israel became the last bastion for The Messiah.

One problem I had with this is I don't think the Apache would've been able to get that low amongst close building like that. Rotorwash produces forceful airwaves which would have bounced off the building back into the rotors. Which then would have pushed the helo down onto the street.
Not to mention the multiple SAM sites around D.C.
This movie could’ve been such a great modern war movie and social commentary, but it ended up being a weird, abstract arthouse film.
It was obvious it was about the journalists tho 😂 people still complaining even months after its release.. loooool!
It’s an independent movie produced by a company of less than 300 people on a budget of 50 million.
They couldn’t afford any more action scenes, and they couldn’t afford for half of Americans to boycott the film because it criticised them.
I feel like that wasn't quite the point. The idea wasn't to portray war straight up, but rather portray the material conditions war would bring. Shit's fucked for everyone, combatant or not. I certainly think it would be possible to do a serious and competent civil war movie, but that's not what this set out to do.
@@Moss_Cliff_ They didn't do a very good job of it in my opinion. The level of suffering would have been immense. The entire movie felt like it took place in Wyoming with how little people there are
You don’t understand the point of the movie
The point is there is no good guys and bad guys. The reasons of the war are unknown because they don’t matter.
The point is that wars like these are occurring all over the globe, and that they’re brutal, and everyone loses, the country is left devastated, and millions die
It’s an epic in my opinion, and it wasn’t what anyone expected
A preview of tomorrow
I know right! Perfect timing...

Honestly I can feel that, that one soldier yelling "Fucks sake, stay down!" Your vest is a suggestion not to get shot, not insurance, honestly doubt either side would care much if it's a human sized target press or not
What an interesting day to upload this specific clip.
Should have waited till January 6th in my opinion
It is very painful to have to fight the same Americans for law on the one hand and for justice on the other.
no one to be a winner after that.
And division weakens the country, and even if victorious, civil war creates an opening for a new external enemy to take advantage of.
I would alway suspect utube to be going beyond probaganda not only by recommending these videos but to manipulate the comment section having the good no of fake bots in there to generate hype for war, create a false trend.
No one would have electricity. The first thing either side would do is kill the lights
Generators must be a new concept to you.
Yeah you said this elsewhere. Good luck finding enough generators to power the entirety of dc.
Yes. There's some rules in urban warfare.
Cut the lights, the water system, the communication systems, control the main bridges and crossroads, etc.
@@trevorvallo5841 you must live in the city bless your heart. Generators would not work on a natinal scale and no one has enough fuel to run them for more than a few weeks.

do you do this with comic books?
you know spidermans shoes would actually be wet and dirty because the average humdity in that area is ....
i love how all the lights are on during the offensive into the city.... a helicopter in a street... shooting rockets at close range with zero room for manoeuvre...
This may be one of the worst representations of combat I have ever seen. They really don't think the capital of the US is going to be this lightly defended? The real thing would look more like a high-tech version of the Battle of Berlin. An absolute shit show with Spec Ops, armor, air support, extremely accurate artillery, short and long range missiles, and there is no way two HMMWV's (humvees) are going to drive through the front gate. There would be no front gate to drive through. You don't have to be a military historian to know that this would look like hell on earth and not just organized chaos.
This was years deep into the civil war.. the current U.S. Military was a shell of its former self with the western forces overtaking it. At this point most U.S. Generals had already surrendered with only the 3rd term president and his deep loyalist remaining at the White House
The reason why DC was lightly defended was because according to the movie, most of the President's generals who understood that the war was lost and decided to order their forces to stand down, thus allowing the Western Forces and Florida Alliance to move into DC.
The only forces remaining in DC were the remnant gov forces still loyal to the President.
The City Washington D.C was designed for urban combat. The building and street placements and directions were made so it cant be easily captured.
Modern warfare 3(OG) was a great example of this
The Loyalist Forces are clearly on their last legs by this point. Hell, the movie starts with the Western Forces being only a short way from DC. Now, Generals who have served the regime for years have thrown in the towel and probably brought with them to soldiers they command. Those who are still fighting are doing so out of loyalty or the assumption they'll be shot when trying to surrender. Plenty have probably abandoned their uniforms or fled- It's been suggested that the escape attempt of the Beast was an attempt by some individual Secret Service members to escape DC instead of some sort of distraction. The point is, the Loyalists are held together by the sheer desperation of a man who knows he's dead and simple refusal to think for themselves.
30 mm apache sound like beam gun XD
Yeah they turned it into a minigun instead of the usual cannon.
Reminds me of the Washington D.C missions Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2.
People would ask how should they tell which side is which, The Western Forces have the standard OCP/ACU uniform and the Loyalist Forces have a darker tan-brown OCP/ACU uniform
Is this what will happen in America starting next week?
Probably not. The side with guns won the election.
I wanted the see the scene with the limo from the thumbnail, and it's not here. Pure rage. Aaaaaaargh.

Oh cool, I didn't know the trailer for next week was out already... ;)
Why is this recomended after the elections?
Why do you think?
Subliminal programming
The best part of this movie is, both major forces who were trying to rush the Capitol first to claim the kill, it did not seem like they would get along very well after removing the President.
You have a good sense of humor, TH-cam.... 😅
I love how simple they make combat
I love how I’m getting recommended this shortly after the election
It is awesome!
But assault guns are illegal in the District of Columbia, how come this be?
We have them and some of us actually know how to use them. I seriously doubt the streetlights will be working during armed combat in the city.
exactly, why were soldiers issued illegal weapons?
I'm in the Press. You would wear more PPE than those photographers and media people are wearing in this movie. Helmet and chest protection, even crotch and back.
And the press would not be advancing with the first wave, either. No way in hell any military unit would allow it.
This movie could have done well with a UN Peacekeeping force, perhaps Canadians, British, Irish, Chinese, or even Russians. Experiencing first-hand the atrocities on both sides, helping with aid distribution and refugees. I don't think the rest of the world would have stood idly by while the biggest superpower destroyed itself.
lol the UN wouldn't dare put a boot on the ground in the US. It would make Iraq look like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
If a second civil war happens, I am getting out of the country asap and move back to my home country Japan.

its like they asked themselves when making this movie "what is the worst possible movie we can make with our budget?"
It's a photography movie to me tbh. The civil war is just a vehicle to help tell the story of the two togs.
Why do Americans always froth at the mouth about battle scenes? And critique anything to do with guns? Obsessed much
cry about it
The most unrealistic part of this movie is people standing up to fight the US government
The more unrealistic part is people thinking orange man is going to be the cause for this because he won...
@@JohnDoe-wt9ekif he tries to stay in office and keeps rigging the Supreme Court and coming after our rights, then it’ll cause a conflict of some sort. Gutting the economy and education system while filling the pockets of his rich friends will make life unbearable for most of the country and increase willingness to resist.
What kind of sick timing is this, JoBlo?
This movie is in no way, shape, or form a good movie, but from a scenario standpoint, this movie is underrated.
God your showing this to me now?!
So I guess the message of this movie "if you think dying in war is bad, just imagine what it's like to walk around taking pictures of it"
a decade or so ago, we had many states holding referendums for leaving the USA several succeeding and submitted to the president. then everyone forgot about it. i hope i'm long gone when it comes--but it will.
I am Korean. I am worried that something like this movie might become a reality these days. I hope that our country can heal the wounds of democracy on its own and become a stronger democratic ally.

@@johnkongsaisy7014 nope what i mean a modern day not old days
That beginning part with the chinook did not look like CGI when I watched the movie. Now, it does 😂
Why was this not the whole movie??
50 million budget, in the industry, is like being brokie
Apache having "minigun" instead of 30mm canon is just wrong, not to mention bad mock up of Abrams made of M60
this movie with
1) more assault action like this
2) less "waaaaaa! I want to be in the press!"....."NO! serious press business is serious don't you understand how serious it is!!!!"
would have made for a great movie
50 million budget isn’t enough
Honestly, seeing this hurts my heart.
As an aside and curiosity cause I haven't seen this movie yet, at 5:07, is that Scott from Kentucky Ballistics? Like that looks and sounds exactly like him
When that Abrams rolled up at the end I was like, 'better get right with God cause you about to meet him."
God help us
If this did happen in America now
We be a third wheel country
We be divided
Our states be it own or unclaimed
We be a divided country
The country in the movie itself was already divided into several factions. The Loyalists forces, The Western Alliance forces, Florida Alliance, and the last one who's never been mentioned in the movie is New People's Army. It is said the NPA has ties with China, or presumably under Chinese direct control.
Fall out for the ending
How about in English next time?
I forget sometimes that war movies are made for those who’ve never been to a war.
Why would you waste a Javelin on a target that close by?
Also that’s not how an Apache chin gun sounds.
Because they had it. I've seen footage of dudes in Afghanistan shooting AT-4s at rocks. It's better than sitting there shooting at them with small arms while in an exposed position all day. The way they're fighting from their vehicles like that - I know it's just for the sake of the cinematography, but it gives the sense that they were ambushed and were not expecting to take contact from the Lincoln memorial.
