    Civil War confused the shit out of me because I walked out of it having taken away the message “journalists like those depicted in this film are vultures who prey upon misery and bloodshed to advance their own careers/egos/desire for thrills, and only by taking a stance, by doing more than being a neutral observer, can they hope to save lives.”
    … I then read Alex Garland’s comments on his own movie, where he stated he wanted to make a film where journalists are the heroes, and that he thinks journalists should be neutral. I’m absolutely baffled.

    The Civil war is apolitical, because it's based on an average western person perception of all these wars in the world that you hear about on the news. Complex conflict on ethnic, political, societal, religious and economic grounds that are just reduced to "people are just fighting the goverment because it's bad."
    It's a movie made from the ignorant perspective of the media that just boiled down conflicts across the globe to nothingness, like the Syrian civil war. It doesn't matter who the sides are, just that war is bad and people die in it.

      Okay I get that to an extent but wars are very much not apolitical and your war movie message being "war is bad regardless of why" I think is a very centrist neoliberal perspective that ignores reality and is ultimately an unhelpful position to take. Yes wars are bad but why they happen does matter and what the conflict is about does impact my perspective on the validity of that war*

    On Civil War: People seem to want a "civil war would be THEIR fault" movie to validate everything they already believe but a "hey guys a civil war would be really really really bad" movie was what they wanted to make.
    You can criticize the ways they tried to deliver that message and it's not like they were subtle about it, but I don't think they made a mistake at all by trying to make the exact causes ambiguous and separated from any parallels that are too obvious.
    I mean you can say "it tried to appeal to everyone" but IMO it makes for a more productive message precisely because it's way more likely to be heard by someone who you'd want to hear it.

I loved that it was more about the dangers of war photography and could focus on the characters rather than the implications and motives of the war itself. It feels like whoever made it really wanted to make a war photography film first, and the idea of it being set in the US was secondary, which i enjoyed personally. War films really impact me for some reason, and I was 100% locked in the whole film. Personally it was 10/10 for me, the best film Ive gone to see in theaters in a long time.

    Also, I kinda liked the subversion of Civil War being less about politics and more of a commentary/celebration/love letter to war/combat photojournalism. It was very much the vibe of "this is what is happening currently overseas" with the set piece being the US. I feel like part of the point was to maintain a sense of neutrality from the POV for the photojournalists. I think the overall moral was left up in the air but the line where Kirsten Dunst is like "we don't do anything about this, we take pics so other people can do something about it" was definitely there to provoke discussion on the ethics of combat photojournalism. I had a friend who had a similar take as you though, and felt a bit disappointed or that it was a missed opportunity that they did not go political with it, but I think that was part of the point.

    Personally, one One of my favourite aspects of Civil War was the fact that you have no idea where this conflict originated, or what the political alignment of any of its characters are. It reminds me of the Cormac McCarthy quote “Before man was, war waited for him.” Conflict in its own right is the subject, and is not submitted to value judgments of good and evil. Despite the cruel senselessness of it, it remains both natural and inevitable.
    Every time we see violence on screen, the perpetrators of it do so with a smile on their face, as if the violent act in itself is the thing that fulfills them, above and beyond whatever cause or alliance they stand behind. Our protagonists are photographers, looking to exploit the conflict for its artistic value, no doubt to contribute to their own commercial success and prestige, not to mention the thrill they derive from it. Garland probably sees himself in Jesse and Lee, as he too utilizes art to exploit the violent nature of man, alongside the atrocities of war, in order to derive from it something that stimulates his interest and creativity. If war is inevitable, then none of us can forsake our participation, and at the end of the day, no claim to the rightful side of history is an objective one.

    But yeah, I felt like the point of Civil War was to show how civilians are affected the most in war-torn counties. Haiti is an unfortunate example, for instance.
    It doesn't matter what each side believed in, cause the fog of war had blinded everyone at that point. [ACTUAL SPOILERS: Hence why you saw Todd wear red sunglasses shooting up civilians. The literal fog of war blinded him. War had broken him, and many others in their country]
    Like with many 3-world countries, America was facing a war of two sides vying for power, not necessarily a war of ideology. Most civil wars are like that.
    Heck, Caesar crossed the Rubicon river because he didn't want to face prosecution, not because he was trying to "save the republic".
    And, like with most civil wars, the civilians were the affected the most.
