One of the topics of the discussion that has been involved in social media in the last few months is the imminent idea that our country is so politically divided that we are on the verge of the second civil war. After watching last year’s concise name Civil warMy anxiety over such a bleak prospect was not suppressed, but I took some of the film that gives me hope: no matter what happens – war, death, famine or economic collapse – people will continue to be people and the ashes of decimated America can be found a way to rebuild.
Civil war He makes a serious attempt to show his viewers how quickly society can deteriorate when the forces that focus on their own interest rather than the well -being of their citizens; The Alliance is created and everyone has radically different approaches to restoring the natural order of things, resulting in barbaric practices where people are treated as cannon feeding.
Yet humanity is somehow prevailing.
Civil War benefits from leaving the audience in the dark
One common criticism for which I saw Civil war This is how vaguely approaches political disagreement in the United States, which is directly inspired by our current sociopolitical climate in real life. Although the audience is informed about four fractions (loyalistic states, western forces, Florida Alliance and New People’s Army), their motifs are never explicitly explained, but rather brought to the audience in pieces and pieces and leave the room for interpretation. Although it is easy to criticize this narrative choice as a braid-out, we really do not need a ton of exposure to know what is really at this film.
All you need to know Civil war It is that the world is on fire and there is no clear answer to how we can extinguish the flame that has already started. Think about it … If you live in this kind of historical event, will you check Twitter to update what is actually happening or would you focus on survival?
To drive this point of home, B-Reel Mass Graves, militarized police and dying citizens are built with the President (Nick of) The opening of a speech about how peace will soon be renewed due to the commitment of the US Army to re -re -reopened a broken nation.
Emotionally absent attempts at objectivity
Civil war follows a group of journalists led by the world tired Lee Smith (Kirsten dunst) And her colleague, Joel (Wagner Moura), who are determined to interview the president before he captured him and executed Western Forces or Florida Alliance, or flee from his mixture of Washington DC. He joins Lee and Joele to their treacherous trek from New York to Washington, and is an aspiring photojournalist named Jessie (Cailee Spane) and the New York Times veteran named Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson), who is also Lee’s mentor.
Between Lee’s cynicism, Joel’s attitude “Let’s do it”, along the way, clear dynamics, Jessie’s youthful enthusiasm and naivety and Sammy sage and wise Sammy. Documenting their entire journey on highways full of abandoned cars, war -destroyed cities and through the landscape, which is used as a landfill for innocent victims captured in cross fire, a group of journalists is exposed to serious pockets of humanity and violence that have resulted in the fall of the modern civil war.
While everyone in the group is trying to stay emotionally absent in order to complete this work, they cannot help but be a person when this opportunity is. After everyone has seen terrible things on a daily basis for an indefinite time, they experience moments of Levit when they enter shops with small cities in areas that are not crossed by a militarized police or compete for loyalistic and rebel factions. Some of the most disarming moments Civil war Include the establishment of a camp for a night, while the battles of neighboring regions light up the night sky in the distance, while everyone shares a drink and decompresses after a tense day of traveling in enemy territory.
It’s not a conflict but how we respond to it
Civil war The real “conflict” is irrelevant for his narrative, because events that occur before we introduced ourselves in our main characters are too complicated to unpack in one feature film. The important thing to consider is that while Lee, Joel, Jessie and Sammy are trying to document what is happening in real time, so future generations may have a historical context in the second American Civil War, embody the human spirit of endurance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, endurance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, and willingness to die for your work, so such a terrible chain will never happen again.
