    I just finished that Civil War movie last night. Anyone who thinks they want Civil War should be forced to watch that movie. Anyone who still thinks they want it after that should get their heads examined.

      Which civil war movie? Was it about a modern day civil war in the U.S.?

        Yes. It’s just called Civil War, and it’s starring Kirsten Dunst. It came out this year. It’s a lot better than I expected.

          It was pretty good i thought. They never mention any politics, it’s all about the photographers. And the final scene is one of the best action scenes I’ve seen in a good while.

            They do show disdain for the president’s fascist actions and violence against Americans, and they make it pretty obvious that they’re inferring trump is the president, given his choice of words in the opening speech “It was a very very big victory. People are saying it was the greatest military victory in the history of armed forces”, or something like that. They’re pretty subdued about real life comparisons and directly stating which party is which, but I felt like there was enough there to figure it out.

            Edit: yeah man, that whole battle at the end was incredible. So immersive! It conveyed a strong sense of actually being there.

              I was under the impression going in that it was gonna be “librul this” and “conservative that,” and that never happened. It’s clear, if you can read between the lines who’s who in the bigger scheme, but it’s never implicitly stated. And you never really know which side people are fighting for until the last scene in Washington. There is that scene with the boogaloo boys, but are the separatists, or loyalists…?

              I thought it was gonna be some sad propaganda movie, and it’s more like a decent action movie about war correspondences that happens to be in America during a civil war.

                Ooh, I didn’t notice that screen. I agree with your assessment, and I was pleased with the quality of the movie. It was much better than I expected. I only watched it because I was bored, but I’m glad that I did.
