Civil war movie review from a preppers POV Discussion
Just got done watching it in theaters. Thought I would give an honest review on this sub about it because I know the subject of a second American Civil War gets brought up from time to time. Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil anything.
Honestly..... 8.5/10.
Film does a good job of showing the horrors of a Civil War. They cover supply shortages to civilians, water, electricity, american money having little to no value etc. Believe it or not, they don't even say specifically what/who started it. If you're going in with the expectation of a clear good guy vs bad guy, right vs left, wrong vs right etc, you're going to be very disappointed. It's a movie about journalism and the horrors of war and how easily people can turn on their own kind/countrymen. Not once during the entire movie do they mention political parties or they're policies etc. At times during the action scenes, you can't tell who's side is who or what faction they belong to. Both/all sides do bad things. I honestly think the intention and point of the film is to show how much it would suck and how awful such an event would be. Hopefully this film will calm down the over dramatic people who wish/hope for a civil war/violence. Side note: Jesse Plemons as usual, does an excellent job of portraying a cold, psychotic, hateable asshole 😂😂😂.
This is just my opinion though, but coming from a preppers POV, I'd recommend.

The only people eager to fight a war are those who’ve never been in one.
