re: Is Civil War any good?

He's ok replying to you when he thinks he's proving a point but then backs himself in a corner and then he's no longer replying to you

Solid tactic.

I've asked multiple people in this thread now what scenes exactly portray the journalists as "awesome" or "heroes" and none have even attempted an answer

I'm not dogpiling

I'm asking y'all to defend your stance

Your answer so far is "well the movie was about journalists therefore it must portray them as the good guys" which is laughable

The movie portrays the journalists as kind of noble idiots I thought. They clearly lacked judgement when dealing with militia types.

Finally watched it. The movie should have been called “Let’s focus on Kirsten Dunst frowning for two hours.” It barely covered what was actually going on with the civil war.

Kirsten Dunst

She spent the whole movie looking like a teacher who was about to take a mug shot for sleeping with her student.

Only good part was the "what kind of American?" scene

They just were no longer phased by the horrors of war, when Jesse finds the bodies of the dudes at the gas station she has a pretty visible reaction to it meanwhile Lee doesn’t give a shite and keeps on moving. Joel actually gets excited at the idea of seeing the frontlines. We see Jesse slowly becoming Lee when she takes that picture of Sammy.

Lee starts to change as she see Jesse slowly change from a naive and innocent photographer to a cold nearly emotionless war photographer after Sammy’s death. Lee completes the change when she sacrifices herself to save Jesse which will in turn causes Jesse to change as she deletes the picture of Sammy.

Nothing about the film says these journalists are heroes, just that they’re vehicles for us to see America at war. More so Jesse as she like the viewer is seeing the war for the first time.

Also people wanting to know more about the war are missing the point, the movie is not about how it started. It’s why we saw it through journalists, people who are doing nothing but observing the horrors of the war just like the person watching the movie. We observe what they observe

I finally watched it as I was had nothing else to do except veg out. It was alright and would not buy a ticket for it.

This might be the worst thing I’ve ever wasted time on watching.


It was terrible from start to finish.
