I recommend the movie "Civil War" very original. Not saying that will happen but the movie is great.

I found the movie to be hollow and contradictory to the point that I couldn’t suspend disbelief.

haven't seen it, so I shouldn't comment, but from the reviews they went out of their way to make the movie apolitical, or at least to obfuscate the setting's relation to our current zeitgeist. which resulted in a tortured, implausible scenario.

if that was their goal, it would have been better to never explain the conflict in the first place. just start in medias res, with asemic dialogue and references.

I wish they'd try again and do better.

I really liked it. Beautifully made film. But it just rides on shock value. It doesn't have anything interesting to say about the topic.

My takeaway was civil war isn't something to be desired in any way, not even journalists who might gain (money, work, notoriety) regardless of the outcome.

The shock seems to be the point.

Quite different from all the documentaries my dad was really into about the US civil war. (Many of which lionized the southern generals.) Or annoying "states rights" points that he seems to have picked up from some YouTube gutter.
