What an unnecessary and untrue thing to say lol. Hell, you even conceded that I'm probably right about COVID and that you simply do not care and accept the risks.Lmao what? You're definitely confusing BSP with someone else
Again, glad you enjoyed your apolitical action flick masquerading as a deep dive into journalism. I hope your are sipping a cup of delicious Twitter leftist tears.
What an unnecessary and untrue thing to say lol. Hell, you even conceded that I'm probably right about COVID and that you simply do not care and accept the risks.Well, that's wrong. The only thing I conceded was about the risks of long covid are probably worse than I aware of, but I will take that chance at this point .
I'm disappointed that it sounds like they don't go into the backstory of the war. DamnitTrust me it will be a TV series. Remember Revolution?
There is a huge difference between a kids movie centered around animated birds...and an actual movie about a second American Civil War, void of any political context from a director that outright says "left and right are just ways to run the government" when the American right at large is foaming at the mouth to have a second Civil War.
Greg and bsp are both empathetic people, idk the history of you guys going back and forth but this is silly.Ugh, I agree
I still hold onto my opinion that you can't change how people will interpret a movie to see themselves as the hero unless you make the message very on the nose to the point where there's no room for interpretation, which majority of the time makes for very bad movies.Even then this doesn't work, as seen with people saying that Light did nothing wrong, calling Homelander based when his followers in the final episode of Season 3 literally had the Viking Capitol dude in shot, and the anti fascism messages of Starship Troopers going over people's heads despite Neil Patrick Harris being dressed like a literal nazi.
Greg and bsp are both empathetic people, idk the history of you guys going back and forth but this is silly.Do you honestly not see what I am talking about though? I knew he would pop in and criticize my review.
I liked your review and could not begin to care about this back and forth. His dismissal and analysis of your review sounded dumb to me. You randomly bringing up him talking about covid sounded dumb to me.That is fair. I shouldn't have brought up an unrelated topic. I should be better at letting things go.
I think youve both said what you want to say to each other about the movie and should leave it at that.
Good to hear hes apparently returned to form after his last film wasnt as well-received as usual. On the other hand apparently hes giving up directing now so I guess it doesnt matter going forward, lol.He sorta has one more directing movie. It will be called Warfare and he is co director with Ray Mendoza, who I think is a first time director but was the military supervisor for Civil War. Garland says it is more of a support role he is providing though.
I feel like topics like this perfectly show just how susceptible people are to misinformation, even when they create the misinformation on their ownWhat misinformation?
Sometimes good directors drop a stinker. It's not the end of the world. Ex Machina and Annihilation are still amazing movies.Except its getting amazing reviews
Yeah, you're right, it was dumb and unnecessary and I shouldn't have said anything. Thank you for being the voice of reason.I appreciate that. And I am sorry for bringing up stuff
You're not the only one.
We do, and I keep that in mind if ever I see you post and may not agree with it. I shouldn't have been so critical about your review. We've both been vocal about this movie and the "everything must devolve to debate" mode kicked in.
Except its getting amazing reviewslol

Sometimes good directors drop a stinker.This is true, and it was a couple years ago with Men that he dropped his worst movie which imo had little to offer aside from that one actor pulling a James McAvoy from Split, the ending, and the extremely on the nose messaging. Thankfully Civil War is much better even if it doesn't reach the heights of Ex Machina or Annihilation, because I fucking love those movies so much it would be hard to reach them.

Damn y'all triggered over a movie wtf go outside
What misinformation?
Thinking the movie is something its not based on impression formation and confirmation biass.People have some valid criticisms of the film, and saying the film wasnt about that doesnt erase or invalidate those criticisms whatsoever, nor does it make it akin to misinformation.
which is representative of how misinformation tends to take hold on people in general.
saying the film wasnt about that doesnt erase or invalidate those criticisms whatsoeverYes it does. It's like when Jarhead got ripped apart because people thought it was an action war movie. People are free to dislike something because it wasn't what they expected but it is in no way a films fault if people misinterpret its intent and try to take it out on the movie itself. "Why doesn't this film take a stance on modern American politics" is just as valid as "why doesn't this movie take a stance on American football".

Is this a historical dry US Civil War Oscarbait flick or is this something I should care about?Its set in modern day. Actually I think its supposed to be a little bit in the future. Maybe 10 years from now. And its about a 2nd American Civil War
Is this a historical dry US Civil War Oscarbait flick or is this something I should care about?Definitely a good film and worth watching. They dont explicitly use words like democrat or republican or trump supporter but the film absolutely explains what is going on, why, who is doing what, etc. It is not ambiguous, nor does it shy from politics, however, this is largely done through clever use of inference and implication with some smattering of expositional dialogue.
