As a military combat photographer, I absolutely love this film.
I was holding my breath throughout the entire encounter with Jesse Plemons.
You enjoyed Elton John killing Asians did ya? 🤣
This movie blew me away. Plemmons is an absolute scary villain whenever he gets the chance to play one and this was his worst.
Worse than Todd?
@@whitebread940 yes!
I agree it was an amazing film from start to finish. Oscarworthy, IMO.
@@whitebread940 way worse than todd.
lol what? are u like 6?
The most frequent criticism of this movie comes from people that think an alliance between Texas and California is unbelievable. Actually, it was very clever of the film maker to team Texas and California. If California had been the rebel state, it could logically be inferred the President was Conservative. If Texas was the secessionist, then the President must be Liberal. By making both states allies the audience doesn't know the political basis of the war. In my opinion Civil War is a better movie than Dune 2 and the best movies I've seen in a very long time.
Well said! I agree. And if people from either state have a hard time swallowing that pill, then this movie is more important and relevant than ever.
Why compare this with a film like Dune 2?
Dune Saga is set in stone now. Written in the early 60s and then influenced major sci-fi and fantasy that came after making its a seminal scifi. Even though Denis's adaptation has some changes (character changes, some story changes and leaving out lot of worldbuilding), and he nitpicks what themes to focus on from the first book (which has many), he's still telling Paul's arc from the Dune Saga. Dune 2's challenge is to bring us a story that's copied multiple times over in many materials in a unique, exciting way to a new audience while still focusing on saga's themes and messages through characters, story, and filmmaking. It's a film for generations, and once the trilogy is finished, it might be a seminal piece of filmmaking.
Because Dune 2 is predictable and doesn't offer anything new. It's the same white savior trope we've seen countless times before
@nerychristian Now, if you said this after Part 1, I would've given it a pass (who Attridies are going to be exposed in film one's opening monolog). But after Part 2, yeah, you've missed the whole point of the film, buddy! LOL. Critical thinking needs to be applied. This is cerebral sci-fi!
@@wathsi99 What's cerebral about it? If the setting were different, let's say it took place on Earth. Then it would just be a copy of Dances with Wolves or The Last Samurai. Maybe even Pocahontas.
I totally agree...the movie warns of the breakdown of guardrails meant to protect us from tyranny while also warning us of not to give in to our own personal grievances, prejudices, and hatred. The vagueness of the political stances of both sides allows this film to speak to both sides of our current political atmosphere. It's a warning not to allow any one person abuse power, nor allow ourselves to find excuses to give in to our worst impulses against our fellow humans/citizens. There is no clean and tidy way for violence to become an answer to political problems. I believe Kirsten Dunst could be remembered for best actress, depending on how deep the field is, and that Jesse Plemons could do a Beatrice Straight and get a supporting actor nomination for his tour de force performance in his extended scene that takes over the entire movie and is remembered after leaving the theater. The sound design should be a definite nomination, it is great and is like a character itself. I believe this movie will be remembered and a possible cult classic....and a prescient warning to a possible future for this country.
I’ve been following quite a few reviews of this movie and your synopsis is a great one.
I have a hard time watching war movies, but I’m trying to get myself prepared to see this one. I love that Kristen Dunst took this role!
It's not much of a war movie but it does show how people don't really care for one another even the people traveling together.
Bottom line, don't go in expecting a war movie, this is set during the final days of the Civil War. But understand that there are scenes that are absolutely disturbing throughout the film
This is the most brutal and terrifying war movie of all time, I’d argue, because it doesn’t spend even one second romanticizing it.
It's brutal. Way more brutal than most war movies...it seemed more real to me...disturbing as hell.
Hearing Brian saying he was underwhelmed by Men was kinda funny to me lol.
Weird cause he gave it a 4/5
@@gui4816 You got your head up your ass...lol....just kidding, I agree with you.
Your review of Civil War is excellent. It is very insightful.
I have already seen the movie three times.
There is one scene missing from this perfect movie.
A short time after the noisy start of the D.C. Siege, cut to a view of the statue of Lincoln, sitting inside the monument.
A very still scene, a very quiet scene, an almost serene scene, but, in the far, far away distance, you can hear machine gun fire.
As the D.C. siege moves forward, cut to this serene scene one more time and this time yhe the gunfire gets louder and louder.
Finally, when the rocket strikes, and the building explodes, we see Lincoln, with rubble piled up to his shoulders. He is trapped, frozen, unable to be free.
And lastly, we see a black-and-white snapshot-of-quietness of Lincoln’s closeup face.
That is a scene missing from the movie.
I thought this movie was incredibly compelling. I'm still processing what I watched, but it definitely moved me.
Good reviews for this so far. Garland’s direction and Dunst’s performance. No surprise there. Garland blew me away with Ex Machina and Annihilation. Dunst has been good going back to 1994 with Little Women and Interview with the Vampire, where she kind of out-acts Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. The question is whether or not the film will have lasting power to make it to award season.
Given this review, I wonder if the movie will play as being identical to Oppenheimer with its doomsday/dystopian premise or deemed as too political in an election year to Academy voters. We shall see.
Jaw was on the floor almost the whole film. Loved it, sniper scene might be my favorite tbh. whole movie boils down to that imo.
I really enjoyed it and appreciated it stayed neutral otherwise itwould just cause more vitriol that we really don’t need. I love films which show the human impact of war and how people are affected by it and process it. The sound design was exceptional and the camera work makes you feel like you’re right there with the characters. I think the dialogue could have been strange and perhaps a bit more background on how the civil war broke out, but other than that I have few complaints
I think CIVIL WAR might make people think regardless and Art does that.
I'm so happy with your review of this movie. I really think that you nailed it with your impressions. Many other movie channels are crying about it's too violent or complaining about that the movie doesn't explain too much about the conflict. Or even worst, trying to tell that the movie is good because is trying to predict the future of USA. I strongly disagree with most of those ideas.
I absolutely agree with everything you said here!🩷
The only thing that fails as a prediction is that Texas and California would find common ground ideologically. Change Texas out for New York or Washington....or California swapped out for all but a handful of liberal population centers...and this would be spot on. And in reality, probably prescient. Looked at several generations from now as something parallel to Nostradamus's predictions. Because the division in this country has no common ground. Nor is there any room left for compromises. Either something like this movie will happen, or or union dissolves via mutual agreement. Which the totalitarian left will absolutely never agree to.
@@tslade1cototalitarian left?
That is some strong projection you’re flinging.
This is how you write a “Strong female lead” like an actual human being 👌🏽
Agreed 👍👍👍
My main criticism with the film was the script. I feel it didn’t do a great job with characterization and there were several times when the characters said or did something that just took me out of a scene that I was fully invested in. I really appreciated the perspective and lens it was told in and I really did like the ideas explored but I didn’t think it was as compelling or interestingly told as some people. I’ve heard some people say they hated that the movie didn’t have a message, I totally disagree with that, I just think it wasn’t as interesting as it could have been. I think I enjoyed it overall but definitely a mixed bag.
I think the message is pretty loud and clear
I agree your review on Civil War. It shocked me when you mentioned the sound track. Loved the musical choices in the film. Also, loved the silent section after an explosion. The photos taken by the journalists were amazing. I never let my guard down. I didn’t want to miss a single second of the film. At this time, I am trying to deal with my feelings of satisfaction in the final scene and final photo. People that love movies must see this one.
De La Soul “Say No Go” was a bizarre needle drop choice
I keep hearing about Jesse Plemons in this movie. Is it possible he can get any award consideration for one scene? Like for the indie spirit or Gotham awards?
Yes - William Hurt got a best supporting nod for one scene in a history of violence (iirc)
I feel like the scene with Jesse wearing those red glasses was saying something a in way or showing the character perception of the world (maybe I’m reaching) but definitely a great intense scene I’ve seen in a while, counting that bear scene in Annihilation…oof, goosebumps
Yup, rose tinted glasses, some people anticipate a potential US Civil War so they can be prepared, some people anticipate it because they want it. Think about all the mentally ill people, disgruntled young men, and political doomscrollers in the nation. We already see this in Ukraine; Russian Mercenary Companies hire Ultranationalists, Racists, Prisoners, and Psychopaths to kill their cultural cousins, and they excel at their job because they want to kill and they don't care if Ukrainians are their "cousins". The same will happen in America if it happens in America
There’s a whole subtext about lenses throughout the movie.
He’s seeing the whole world as red. When people “see red” it means that have become very angry.
This film knocked me out. I love the fact that it didn’t offer us any historical perspective: it simply plopped us down in the middle of the dreadful situation and lets us center on the concerns of its protagonists. This is what actual civil war could conceivably really look like. The performances are uniformly first-rate, the cinematography and sound design are incredible and this film is going to stick in my mind for a long time. The film of which this most reminds me is Children of Men.
I literally watched your elusive oscar vid a few days ago and it was so good. Kirsten to me is like a jake Gyllenhaal, or perhaps the other way around considering she started first, in which she chooses very thought provoking projects. Upon watching that vid, u def mentioned a few movies of hers i had not seen or heard of such as "Dick" which reminds me of a "Romy and Michelle". This character she plays however is the best I've seen her in a while. She really shows her range here, focusing more on body language than actual dialogue. And you can not only see PTSD written all over her, but u can feel it coming off of her. Such a transformative roll for her. Sure she's played depressed a lot but this is something different. She better get an Oscar win for this. Spaney is also great as a newcomer even though she got on my nerves towards the end. Im definitely looking forward to her version of Ellen Ripley in the upcoming "Alien: Romulus". Great review and i love the elusive Oscar segments.
Just watched it and absolutely loved it. Hope it gets a few Oscar noms, Garlands directing was fantastic here
I knew from the jump that the movie speaks controversy, and I freaking love it!
Fantastic use of music, Silver Apples and co.
They could totally make a series as a prequel of sorts!
I haven't seen this movie but I've been looking forward to it and now I'm looking forward to it even more!
Side note- I do think it's a little sad that still, the bar for well written female characters is often set so low that it's notable when someone is able to write fully fleshed out female roles. Haha.
Thanks for the review. Can't wait to see it!
What timestamp does the review of Civil War start?
Great video Brian!
Thanks sir for such a great analytical review, definitely a must see for me now👍
I've loved Garland since reading his debut novel, The Beach in the 90s...no matter what, he's always interesting. One day he'll get the awards recognition he deserves.
I just got home from seeing this. Your thumbnail motivated me to see it but I didn’t want to watch your review until I had seen it for myself. I loved Dunst in this. It’s such and understated performance. Jesse Plemmons was indeed terrifying! I was nervous through the whole film. The tension was so thick.
I saw it on Thursday and I thought it was very good!! 👍
The scariest part about this movie is that the possiblity of it coming true isn't even within the next "couple of decades"...it's much sooner
LOL, if you think California and Texas would _ever_ team up, you don't know much about American politics. California would more likely team up with China.
yeah, I can see like Tomorrow Texas allying itself with California
I see you are no stranger to sarcasm. Love it
The only thing that took me out of film was that song choice use in the first part of the movie (if you guys seen it, you know what I’m talking about) but, other then that, I’d say I enjoyed it for the most part but can’t say I would give another watch in the movies again (maybe) probably one more watch on Tuesday
Thank you for this. I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm even more eager now.
You are in the minority of the minority😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
THE MOVIE IS VERY GREAT.
The bar for sensational has been lowered dramatically 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I haven’t seen this movie yet. But from what I gather, the hate this movie is garnering has to do with one’s political views. Conservatives see this movie as an indictment of a the MAGA movement, as if “liberal” Hollywood is trying to scare voters in an election year into voting Democrat to prevent the kind of civil unrest this movie depicts. Liberals hate this movie precisely because it doesn’t paint Trump supporters as the cause of civil war, suggesting that both sides are equally responsible. In other words, you have one group feeling like the movie is an exaggerated depiction of them and another group complaining that the movie is too afraid to take a side at all.
Thank you for this review, Brian! This was so good. I loved that it wasn't a typical apocalyptic/destruction movie and actually built up the tension. There were so many scenes I actually gasped at like in a horror movie. Kirsten Dunst & Jesse Plemons were great, with Wagner Moura adding some comic relief in between. Alex Garland did that again! To me, this is on the level of Ex-Machina & Anhillation, and better than Men.
Bro how did you avoid the trailers? I swear it played before every other film I've seen in the past 6 months
Loved it
Usted señor se ha ganado su like y un nuevo subscriptor
As a brazilian I am so proud of Wagner Moura! He is amazing!
This won't be one of the very few movies this year I'll be able to see on the big screen. I will get it on DVD/Blu Ray and see it then.
Why?
@ScottLewisMusic Getting the DVD or Blu Ray costs about the same as going to the theater for ONE showing. Especially if concessions are included.
And being a parent of 3 young children is hard work. Especially with a lack of trusted babysitters.
@@biganimefan84 I have to say, this movie is beautifully shot and has incredible sound design. I highly recommend seeing it in IMAX.

@@swann433 Me baby
@@whitebread940 yeah it's losing steam for me in the days after watching
@@432N1CK short attention span
This is NOT a civil war. This is the military correcting an unconstitutional tyranny. Almost clickbait…..
Completely agree I thought this ripped plus a great theater experience on top of it. Would be cool for sounds design to get some love during award season. Also the comments on this film are really weird, I understand if it didn’t work for you personally but some of the dialogue calling Garland spineless and cowardly is so weird to me.
Wasn’t my favorite movie but I do agree that the Jessie Plemmons part was awesome
All here for Kiersten Dunst renaissance we are witnessing
She’s always been decent.
That bitch got old huh
There are non political reviews where a lot of the technical are critiqued. You know the type, nerds that worry about whether a vest would work...etc.
I went to a civil war screening last year while it was in post-production and the final film is better than what I saw last year. Garland took out a lot of scenes that made the film drag and, from what I can recall, what happens to Dunst is different too. I hated Men. It's one of those me too movies that makes men look bad, needy and clingy, like Barbie and Poor Things. We don't need to put men down to make women look better.
Didn't Garland partially write Dredd?
He did.
Judge Dredd is my favourite Karl Urban role.
Do you have a letterboxd?
I have seen a fair number of reviewers giving a poor review based on expectations that were not met for them. I think the expectation of what this film would be, versus what the film actually is, is what upset some viewers. That's not the film's or director's fault. People wanted this film to make a political statement one way or the other. Since the message was more anti-war than anti-left or anti-right, somehow, that made the film less interesting. This film is about the human condition. It shows the best and worst of humanity. It's a cautionary tale of why no one should want for war. The reality is much more horrifying than what is glamoirised. I felt like the photo journalists were very realized. I have read and heard interviews with journalists who are around warzones, and this depiction felt very faithful to those experiences. Overall, I thought Civil War was a great film!
Uaguiner Moura ? O ator se chama Wagner Moura. Com o w com som de v. Como o compositor Richard Wagner.
What kind of American are you…? Are you a Jack Daniels in your morning coffee American? Or some Kettle One in your OJ 🍊 American…? 🤔
Anihilation would be SO GOOD if it wasnt atttached to the book lol. The all female team was also a main component of the book. I just feel like all the complexity from the novel was replaced by aesthetics in the film ☠
"that was a little bit underwhelmed by men" ... Who isn't
I now have the perfect American doomsday trilogy:
The Day After (1983)
Red Dawn (1984)
Civil War (2024)
That actually is. Red Dawn was made as a reaction to The Day After, a more conservative perspective. Civil War forces both ends of the political spectrum to sit with the discomfort
I loved the performances from the actors/actresses but I wasn’t a fan of the film …i didn’t understand why there was a civil war in the first place …they never explained that nor why it was important to go to DC
There’s been a lot of political commentary recently about Texas flipping to a blue state in the near future based on the demographic of people moving there.
I live in Australia and 10 years ago I moved to Queensland, very similar to Texas as a state the has been conservative for our entire history. Over that 10 year period I have seen it transition to a more liberal state.
At our last national election Queensland veered so far left that several districts were won by the Green Party, our far left political party.
So California and Texas aligning in a fictional near future doesn’t seem so far fetched to me.
You do an awesome job and you know how to review movie and you remind me of Roger Ebert who taught me how to analyze and appreciate good cinema . Great job.
Bot
The movie Civil War has no plot, no story line, no context, no background. A movie, if you want to be generous, fails completely.
What failed here is your ability to read the narrative. Sorry
Cailee Spaney looks like Millie Bobbie Brown just like how Emma Stone and Mila Kunis look alike
Emma and Mila look absolutely nothing like each other. Not even a little bit.
@@MichaelSmith-zx5lwexactly, I dunno where that came from😂😂
Could this movie be a little similar to The Hurt Locker (2009)?
More similar to the road.
Nick Offerman is so under used in this movie that it should be considered a war crime. Like, why the Hell was he even in this movie? He’s in two minutes of the opening and then a smattering here and there, and I know the movie isn’t about him, but I felt like it built him up so much, that I found myself disappointed and honestly for most of the movie. Now, there are some great sequences in this film, and the sound design in particular is really good, but otherwise I found it to be shallow and for a movie entitled “Civil War”, I expected a film about a civil war and I didn’t get that, and I think the film’s insistence on objectivity really hurt it for me. There’s no world building. We don’t know anything about any of the events to the point when the Civil War feels so background that I wonder why the movie was even made.
Think of it as a modern day Easy Rider parable; a road trip type movie with alternatiing moments of beauty, grace and introspection, punctuated by scenarios of sheer terror and ultra-violence. Like Easy Rider, you either got it or you didn't. Personally, it goes into my Top 250 films ever made. The sound design is incredible. This movie will haunt you for days and weeks to come, as you mull over each montage and vignette, wondering about it's irony and the what-if scenarios...Sammy's (Stephen Mckinley) death scene is like an elegy...filmed with such grace and compassion...you will tear up during the sequence, trust me...I saw it in IMAX, which I recommend highly if you are going to see it once. I'm going back for a second viewing in Dolby this week, to catch any of the nuances I may have missed. Finally, I will eagerly await the possibility of a director's cut version of this film to see what was left on the cutting room floor....
Needed a screen writer for this one

Yeah for sure, like how did they adlib every line in the movie…
@@gotabonetopick2942 I wish they were allowed to
Brazil is so proud of Wagner Moura! ❤
He has an incredible emotional range.
Those who say Civil War was slow need to go back to watching Tik Tok videos. Civil War cost $80 Million dollars and is the most expensive A24 film to date.
Awesome movie👍 I’ll be watching it again on DVD when that comes out.

who?
He's dead wrong. He missed the point.
@@hominessuntsaluatores Critical drinker is another movie critic on you tube. He's pretty good.
@@swann433 And what was the point?
@@wokesick the point is that once a war starts everyone becomes brutalized and loses their humanity. did you notice there were no heroes in the film? both sides murdered the other side. both sides were just as bad. the director even said both sides are to blame for the current situation in the us right now. its a warning and a cautionary tale. if you cant see that then I doubt I can explain it to you. that scene at the end was taken straight out of so many other civil wars of the modern era. in fact it was very similar to what happened to khadaffi in libya. go watch the video of him being murdered. its on youtube...
Tonight I watched this movie in the theatre. I thought it was utterly amazing!
I feel like the reason why people hated this fill is due to their own feeling of conviction. they want to be like "Oh see, your faction/tribe is doing this and then we rise up and kicked your ass, and we're gonna do that in real life too". What they failed to unload is, this movie is about a group of photo journalists. Journalists, whom supposed to be impartial to any political ideology, and just document a story.
This movie doesn't herd you to be left or right or who's right and wrong. It's a fictional documentary.
Yeah, except that the Offerman President is clearly modelled on Trump and all the crazy militias torturing people and digging mass graves for ethnic minorities are clearly modelled on MAGAs who’ve been left without law enforcement.
The movie is clearly the views wet dream of Trump wtf are you weirdos talking about? 🤣
This is the first time that you done a movie review? Great Review though.
I love this movie and I love my fellow Americans left or right.
must see?! are u drunk
Hi. I’m from Myanmar, which is actually in the midst of a civil war. After watching this, all I can say is… wow its accurate. The bomb scene especially resonated with me and was like a huge cold open… The other stuff was strangely relatable.. it felt oddly familiar but at the same time tense…
Every criticism of the movie seems to be from people who were let down because they were expecting something else, rather than going in with a completely open mind

@@taykitrleevitt4314you're blind if you think reporters are the good guys 🤣
As a woman who felt very recognized by “Men,” it always tickles me how male Garland fans diminish it. I don’t expect men to get it right away, but if you like Garland’s weirdness and are willing to do the work, it’s interesting to see how unwilling they are to try with “Men.”
It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that parallels the critiques of “Civil War.” People who want to see their values and perspectives reinforced, explicitly, have no business watching Garland (or A24, frankly). People who came into this movie for validation in their finger-pointing, or who are stymied by the vagueness, need to stick to Marvel.
What's with the "close up of guy smoking a cigarette" scenes?
This film is cliched crap that stole an afternoon out of my life.
Cardboard characterization and meaningless disjointed writing.
This film is for the brain dead already. Which means this film will win loads of awards. This film is the epitome of Hollywood film making today. This film will make the actors embarrassed every time they remember they took all that dollar to be in it.

It is NOT a sensational must see movie. Saw it on Thursday and while it had tense moments and a vert intriguing ending climax, the movie was bare bones on script and left more questions then answers. The ending scene was a throw away and a slap to anyone's intelligence.
The Left is in love with it - seems to be a sort of political horror film indulgence for them. And most of the film critics are Lefties.
It’s up left to the audience to figure out what happens next.
Until Doomcock the future ruler of Earth weighs in and reviews this movie I will not see it.
It sucked. The Media as the good guys is a joke!!!
Brian you don't find this movie dangerous and irresponsible?
Why would it be? It doesn’t glorify the war, nor does it take a side in the hypothetical war the movie shows.
It should be seen by everyone. Kids too. It should required for all Americans to watch
Film was a mess , no reasonable plot or movie scenes with a terrible ending. I don’t get the hype.
You missed the whole point. Congrats.
@@swann433And you possess an extra chromosome
So Texas and California are marching on DC - for reasons never explained. And middle America, we are told, wisely stays out of it, leaving these bozos on the East Coast to fight it out.
A team of seasoned war correspondents on a road trip to the war's finale get themselves into a series of scrapes that have to mark a new benchmark for incompetency on the job. Older emotionally drained war photographer is being overtaken by younger not yet emotionally drained war photographer, in a script so predictable you expect cue cards. Lots of guns and explosions at the end. As to who won, or what that means - well shucks, that just shows how civil wars end up with just pointless violence. Except that, in historical fact, no wars are as clearly delineated as to causal differences than are civil wars. A flimsy political film, and a second tier action film. But the Lefties appear awe struck by it.
No. It's shown that the forces that attack Washington are from North Carolina and some other State. Everyone seems to be against Washington
It was explained. The President violated the Constitution - 3rd term, abolished the FBI, and fired upon U.S. citizens!
I thoroughly enjoyed "Civil War." It's definitely in my top three favorite movies of 2024 thus far along with "Dune 2" and " the Monkey Man." This was a great movie review. ❤❤❤❤🍿🎬🎥🎟️🎞️
