Found a picture of he whom you seek

Unfortunately, I’m not sure if I’ll go see this one. I’m traveling a bunch for work, and I don’t know how interested I am in it. We get plenty of national divide without paying good money to go spend a couple of tense uncomfortable hours in a movie theater for some more.

Good response.

Makes me think of how I watch sports. I only ever see the positives. It’s entertainment.

i feel the same way. that's why i wanted you to head into battle first ;-)

I have not seen it.

But, apparently, it is not at all about the blue/red divide of this country. That is never touched on.

The film is more about war and survival, and how war takes on a life of its own, especially so when brothers fight brothers for reasons they no longer understand, remember, or even care about.

Sounds like national divide to me.

Maybe, I haven't seen it. But reviews seem to indicate that it is about something else.

Reviews I've read touch on about how journalism is counted on to record for the future.
And Mr. Kristen Dunst (Jesse Plemons)

I usually check out PluggedIn before I visit the theater. https://www.pluggedin.com/...iews/civil-war-2024/

I'm not at home here and made a rare visit because I was interested to see if there was a thread on this film. I've seen it. I know from the tri forum that you read the NYT. I read the NYT review and the opinion pieces on the film (including Douthat's) before and after seeing the film and I think they do a good job of describing the content. This snip from the WSJ review describes it well: "This supposed cautionary tale isn't really about American divides at all. It's about the psychology of journalists, specifically the transnational band of roving war reporters and photographers..."The film didn't make me angry. It made me sad. I'm certainly not a fan of film violence but it was worth my $ and time.
