A24’s ‘Civil War’ Movie Provokes Timing Debate Amid Some Fearing Actual Civil War
The Alex Garland film is sparking discussion about its release during a contentious election year: "The idea of civil war actually keeps me up at night."
You're viewing a single thread.
Opined another: “There are other Timothy McVeighs out there who will be like ‘[this movie is] exactly what this country needs’ … The potential danger is that [right-wing] groups are not known for media literacy or nuance. And a psychotic gang of rednecks committing terrorism [in the film] to ‘own the libs’ might be obvious criticism to us, but might be interpreted as a role model to MAGA groups if not portrayed carefully.'”
There's people who watch It's Always Sunny and think the main characters are the "good guys" and we should root for them...
Side note:
Is the guy in the screenshot the Matt Damon look like who played a nazi in Breaking Bad?
Dudes in a lot and he's a pretty good actor.
Yeah, that's Jesse Plemons. He's married to Kirsten Dunst of all things. I just finished watching season 2 of Fargo with him and Dunst - both were amazing in it.
I always think of him as "Walmart Matt Damon".
EDIT: Fixed his last name
Nice, dudes been in a lot of stuff, and he's really good.
Not sure if looking like one of the biggest movie stars around helps or hurts his career. But he's been good in everything I've seen him in.
Agreed! He plays the stoic sociopath really well, which is what I always seem to see him playing - Breaking Bad, Fargo Season 2 (less a sociopath here, but made very questionable choices), Black Mirror.
Might be a typecast, but I think he fits perfectly in this role.
Jesse Plemons
I was recently surprised seeing him in Like Mike as a bully. Great actor though
I always think Fat Damon or Downy Damon.
He's a great actor and better than Matt Damon, in my opinion.
That quote though, how condescending can you get? What's even worse, the whole article reads like this, a bunch of opinions of kids scared of the boogey man.
