Hey everyone! Thanks for watching!
Just a quick update on what I said in regards to having a new TikTok and Instagram reel with my boy Rashad. After rewatching the clip we filmed, the audio wasn’t clear and I don’t want to post it. So, look out for more short form content in the future.
Journalists who are portrayed as neutral? We are not in the 1970s.
Their focus isn’t really on any politics throughout. It’s more about the scoop and catching the action on camera.
@@AnthonyAPerezso its inconsistently ambiguous. Fantasy backdrop yet its still clearly modern America. Sounds confused. There are plenty of war films about irl wars that already accomplish the visceral horror. This is agitprop during an election year. Most ppl don't even remember that Biden stood with Bush and both lied us into Iraq WAR
Communists infiltrated the media here back in the 50s.
This movie is showing a depiction of war journalists who have no bearing on the situation around them because they are non-combatants. It also shows journalism how it’s supposed to be.
Just because it doesn’t reflect your political views doesn’t mean it’s unrealistic
The government wants robots.
The corporations want robots.
Your boss wants robots.
The persons to your left and to your right wants robots.
Don’t be a robot.
Challenge them and make the world yours and don’t make robots.
I don’t intend to be a robot. I hope you don’t either.
I'd like a robot too. One of those Japanese women types ideally. If you have any link or discount code for one, hit me up
Ahhh I hope I made the cut…. Not looking like so but fingers crossed . I played a checkpoint soldier with like 10 lines
Oh, yeah? I gotta give it a rewatch and look for you!
@@AnthonyAPerez Pllllease do!!! Only if I’m good though hahahaha. I will say acting on a smaller project isn’t nearly as
much pressure…. I was so nervous at first and that hadn’t happened in forever bro. I felt alive again though as far as acting goes.
@@JessMatney That’s amazing, bro! Congrats on even being at that place in life! If you’d be down, I’d love to interview you about your acting journey here on my channel. No pressure, if uninterested though!
Was there a reason why they didn't have you wear flags or fake unit patches?
@@SasoSasori- bc they never intended to have me in the movie I guess. Fuck man they all jumped up and down and shot telling me I just had to see the playback and then they cut it
1984 is a worse cautionary tale also A Brave New World
“My dad could beat up your dad”
Exactly and the common thread of those parallels to nazi Germany and stalinist soviets and mao China is THIS: BIG CENTRAL GOVERNMENT which is spearheaded by today's modern left
This is another addition to those cautionary tales and honestly it’s kind of showin these signs now
I felt like the ending worked, including Jeesie’s (sort of) plot twist.
I imagine that plenty of other jobs are also dehumanising to a degree comparable to that of war photojournalism, though maybe not quite so quickly.
LOVED THE SCENE WHERE : In the middle of a shooting War ........ The Girls take time out to try on a dress and do some shopping ! EVERY CHAUVINIST IN THE THEATER WAS LAUGHING THEIR AZZ OFF !!!
Oh yeah? No laughs in my theater
Great and insightful review, man. I need to check this movie out, and your Tik tok with Rashad. Wish I could’ve joined you guys for this one!
This movie is like a great twilight zone episode from the early 60s. Totally killed it 🎯
I think the most chilling part of the preview of this movie is when its said: "Ok, well what kind of American are you?" Because we are quickly evolving into this nightmare.
That is indeed unsettling
Just stumbled across your channel. Great video bro! Can't wait to see this in the theater.
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it!
This movie makes you think, and hope, it never happens.
Why is the photographer using a film camera?
Good question 😂
Because it is a movie and in movies it has to look good... Digital cameras are not particularly interesting to look at
Because, as she states in the movie, she uses the camera that belonged to her father. Since she could not process color film in the field, all of her photos are shown in black and white.
Awesome to see you were able to check this out early def one I have got my eye on as I have been hearing nothing but great things on this movie was not expecting how the movie went but that just makes it sounds even better especially having the gun and sound design make it scary great review man
Thanks bro! I hope you enjoy this one!
Awesome review brotha!
We don’t get this until Thursday in the U.K. but I am intrigued to check it out.
I look forward to seeing your TikTok with Rashad!
I ended up scrapping it after uploading this 🥲 the audio wasn’t clear!
@@AnthonyAPerez NOOOOOOOOOO
I believe you hit the nail on the head with this very in-depth review Brother I agree with a lot of the points you made, especially with the sound design. I’ve seen many of action and war movies but no film in recent memory has made me jump out of my chair, the way a gunshot did in this film. Deff enjoyed your thoughts and the movie 🔥
Starting at 7:20 that was a great explanation of the film. Especially in reference to TikTok or Twitter. there are so many gang fights and shootings on there and then you come across a movie trailer and you forget. I will approach the film from that perspective on Thursday in IMAX! I am so excited. Great cerebral review! :)
Thanks so much for the kind words! I hope you enjoy the movie!
The big societal divide towards violence occurred starting in 2008. However societal shifts almost always involve some level of violence, e.g. late 1960’s. Expect more violence in the months and years to come.
so very well said, great review. One standout you were especially right about is the gunshots. Almost similar to when a film can really properly sell the severity of a characters death (when so often lately its done solely for plot and lacks the proper weight of it). this was one of the first to truly sell the horror of pulling the trigger. Each scene with one bullet shot heard was so ominous to what it meant, and the barrage of bullet sounds were so overwhelming and disorienting. i cant stop thinking about this movie
I’m glad you hear you also thought so!! Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
This is a top review and breakdown Perez. I think you may liked it a little more but, man that sound was amazing.
Thanks so much, bro!
Which movies do you not like or think are terrible do films from uwe boll or friedberg/seltzer come to mind
This movie A24 wants it to be a big commercial success so it can fund their typical more artsy films. I’ve heard the journalists in the film are supposed to provide a neutral point of view.
I enjoyed this review and appreciate no big spoilers.
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! Yeah, I think they’re hoping for this to appeal to people as an action movie of sorts.
Dope breakdown of this film, and thanks for not calling me out for snoring...which i just called out myself just now 🤦🏿♂️
Thanks for joining, fam!!
II watched the movie today. It was one of the best I've seen in a long time.
Hmm. I will have to see it. Insightful review.
Thanks so much!
Honestly that was a great review. I'm curious to go see this movie. Being a Canadian I have a different view on the American divisiveness we're seeing.
Although I know you kind of went off on a tangent I love your explanation of how on social media we can look at something horrific like what's happening between Palestine and Israel or what's happening with the Ukraine and Russia....
And it's horrific and upsetting and then we scroll on past and look at a cat video I'm laughing almost forget what we were just looking at a few seconds ago. That's actually a poignant observation
Thanks so much for your kind words and sharing your thoughts! I hope you enjoy the film! If you remember to, after seeing it, lmk what you thought!
Not me reading Civil Wap because of the thumbnail. Lol
😂
I don't care what side you are on, if the president doesn't speak for 14 months, he has to go.
Maybe we should start it Americans needs to get their American angers out the only way is this way lol
Watched this yesterday! This movie is very interesting but even more bizarre...kept my interest entire time watching it!
Iam Brazilian, I knew Wagner Moura he is an awesome person
That’s awesome! He’s a talented guy!
I wasn’t that interested in the film but your review has me wanting to see it now!
I’d be curious to hear your thoughts!
With this movie, Love lies bleeding and maxxine, 2024 feels like this COULD be the year for A24
Director Garland chose the age of each main character carefully. Notice how each main character age spans the current generations so that viewers can see, experience and understand with them.
So true. Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, and Z.
I like it!!!
I have to admit I don't know how I feel about it. I mean, I live in LA and there his a human rights crisis right outside my door so the film just reminds me of life.
Fair enough, I think this film is definitely trying to evoke that feeling from us all.
Really liked your description of modern life shaped by short attention spans and social media. It's super accurate. Also thanks for not being super political in your review..... It's just a movie and we should treat it as such.
Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate the kind words! And yeah, I tried to not lean too much into politics. Thankfully, the movie doesn’t lean too much to either side, which made it easier to avoid.
Very timely Movie,because we are on the perfuses of a civil war
Watch this channel grow. Interesting take.... On this movie and on the social aspects as well.
Thanks for watching! I hope the channel grows 😂 Appreciate the support!
This is something in the near future that may happen depending on who is in control of the government, and that should worry everyone.
Dance Gavin Dance : Afterburner is such a great album
Right?!
I don’t understand how there is not more unity in America… I don’t get how America has gotten away from their roots of Minimal Government, individual liberty, and personal responsibilities, it seems in America there are only two groups those who want wayyy less government in their life and those who want to rules over by government for the sake of safety and security. That’s all I see in America today
I need to see this movie.
Edit: I have seen this movie when it came out yesterday. Man this movie is simultaneously great and disturbing.
Couldn't agree more!
Just so happens to release on a election year.
The filmmakers definitely want to open a discussion
Actually the release date falls on the date of When the actual Civil War Started in the US, April 12th.
I love the video
Thanks so much!
Sounds interesting, but frankly, with the incindiary nature of the subject matter, I'm taking a pass going into a theatre to see it. Never know what nutjobs lurking in theatre crowds that this could trigger. Think I'll wait for when it goes on pay-per-view.
Fair enough! I hope you enjoy it!
What will happen to our military forces around the world? And our thousands of nuclear weapons? And a second Civil War would cause shockwaves in the global economy.
You’re not wrong! That’s something I wish the film had tackled, now that you mention it!
How can you review a movie that hasn't been out yet?
Early imax screening. I’m in a critics association and get invites to early screenings often.
I find it funny the same people who created this movie are the same group of people who push more of the divide in the US.
How do you mean?
Hmm. Something for the kids. Not for me!
Absolutely not for kids
without having seen the movie, why did the pres disband the FBI?
They never say, truly.
Dude, there is freedom and liberty or there isn't. The EEU became the EU, Globalist big corporations support the EU. America got a president that undid 160 years of the races and genders getting along. That is where we are. It all comes down to Plato's "The Republic", Mao's "Red Book", Lenin's writings, and of course Marx and deciding which team you are on. This movie is political as it can get because "War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means." Karl von Clausewitz.
So, you’re asserting that Joe Biden single handedly resurrected racism, after 160 of it just not existing in America?
Bro are you okay?
"160 years of the races and genders getting along." - only so long as the "right" races and genders were on top... if you call that "getting along". Reform wasn't necessary because everyone just naturally played nice.
@@Malt454 the tension between the races had dramatically lessened since 1865. B Hussein Obama purposely undid that. Btw, white liberal woman are the ones who have worked masterfully to keep black people in check. The rest of team delta also. They purposely did the welfare state in order to get black and brown dads out of the family. This kept people in a place that they wanted. Sadly, just like the Germans in 1933 and the Soviets during WW1 people supported their own demise. Stalin even had a term for it, "полезные дураки", or "useful idiots". As a hard working American I want American black and brown people to do well because then I save tax money on cops, prisons, jails, welfare and other government funded things.
Thanks for watching!
lol wtf. when did genders and races get along for 160 years? and what president undid that?
Yeah this movie was truly epic and one of the best of the year so far! 9/10
This is a look forward of November 2024.
It feels like that, doesn’t it?
@AnthonyAPerez Part 2 of this movie will be a live version. Unfortunately, yes, it does. Very divided and tribal. Good review, thank you.
@@timf2279 Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate it!
🎭🎥📽️🙈🙊🙉
🤢🤢🤮 Pure trash film 🤢🤢🤮
I saw the poster & I decided to pass🤢🤢🤮 How can be a civil war where Texas & California in the same call 🤦♀️
Totally respect that this film may not be for you, but saying it’s trash without having seen it is pretty silly.
@@AnthonyAPerez Nothing sillier than an ignorant shameless British dude making a film about “pending civil war” in America & puts Texas & California in the same camp! 🤷♀️
It was genius to name California and Texas as the secessionists. If it had been California had seceded, it would be natural to assume the President was conservative. If Texas, a natural assumption would be the President was Liberal. With both, you can't determine the cause of the war.
lol that’s what you’re focusing on? california and texas joining? ignorance.
This movie blows.
Journalists are the "neutral" main heroes? You can tell a twitter crusader wrote this movie
Sorry to hear you didn’t like it! Thanks for watching!
As a combat veteran, your take on this is interesting
I am wary of this movie. I am expecting it to be a hit piece on Trump Supporters and Militas
I think the best part about this film is that it highlights a divide between Americans, but never focuses on specific individuals or political affiliations for any of our characters.
Better than Dune part two
I don’t agree, personally, but I’m glad you think so!!
The movie sucked. Was poorly done on many levels. No real story, just some unrealistic action with some poor dialog.
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it
Woman hero again thinking its woke
Female protagonist doesn’t mean hero. This film doesn’t highlight anyone as a hero.
trmp 2024
I was waiting for someone to comment this 😂😂 I knew it was coming
who are you going to vote for @@AnthonyAPerez
I'm a bit older than you but I think your youth and the media allowed you to see a sense of unity that really wasn't there. I had that feeling growing up in the 80's but looking back what I understand is that it's not that there was a true unity but an agreed on reality and the "rules" that the country works with. Starting with Newt Gingrich and the monopolized right wing am talk radio in the South and Midwest there was a radicalization on the right. The left just got weak and stopped representing working class. In any case we are where we are and I'm interested in this film. I've been thinking about how a civil war could happen.
For sure, which is why I mentioned that I was just a kid and realize there was still very much division before that time and during that time. There always has been and always will be, but even as I got older, it felt like discussion could still be had to an extent. Whereas, in the last decade, people on both sides have lost any care for discussion or trying to understand another viewpoint.
Today, I watched "Civil War" at the theater. It was terrible. The movie had an excessive and unnecessary use of profanity words, such as "f**k." The film centers on a news press team's expedition through the Civil War region, capturing news photographs as they travel from New York City to Washington, D.C. The scariest moment happened when two deranged soldiers held a press team captive in a mass grave site. They asked the press team, "What kind of American are you?". The soldier, without mercy, shot and killed two individuals who were not American and made threats to harm the three remaining news press teams. Thankfully, they escaped unharmed as the heavyset African American driver used the media car to take out two insane soldiers. I felt intense by the sound effects and loud gunfire. In the movie's ending scene, the rebel army mercilessly killed the U.S. president. The entire situation made no sense, with no explanation for states seceding and rebelling.
Sorry to hear you didn’t like it! Thanks for watching!
Why am I seeing reviews for this movie from all liberal left wing youtubers and not any right wing youtubers?
I’m not sure I said what my political affiliation is 😂
