Sean gives his initial thoughts to Alex Garland's Civil War (2024).
Discussion Points:
-Sean was reminded of The Road (2009) and Nightcrawler (2014), with the intent of this film.
-Typical American understatement.
-Whether this film felt futuristic or not.
-The strange sense of normality that people still adhere to, in the midst of a civil war.
-Sean goes on tangent about Tesco.
-The strange way they marketed the film.
-How unexpectedly dark and gritty this film is.
-America and foreign intervention.
-The film's lack of answers or things to say.
Raised Questions:
-Did the marketing harm this film?
-Where has Kirsten Dunst been?
-Did the vague reasons for the war work for you?
-Do you like a thought-provoking film?
-Did you enjoy the "fantastically-at-odds with the horror" music choices?
-Do you think the film fully-commits to the horror?
