Civil War Hits The Wall - Too Scared To Be Honest 

I didn’t even know this movie existed till I watched this video💀

Captain America:-"No, I don't think I will".

I saw it, and really enjoyed it. I expected a US, gung-ho, hell-yeah type of film, and it wasn't that. No 'The Message' that I could discern, and as a piece about war photographers, it was excellent in many respects. Four stars out of five, to quote Alex Turner.

Haven’t seen it yet

It tries so hard to not be controversial that it ends up not saying much On the positive side, it had some entertaining moments 5/10

Where he can definitely be shot down by the Raptors we saw WF had? The military who remained aligned with the President after the other parts of the US split surrendered late in the film, it's entirely reasonable to suggest that includes the people responsible for ferrying the President around on his aircraft.

One of the news blips mentions the President lost the faith of his Air Force which is why they weren’t there for him.

Or in the secure bunker under the East Wing and that's the bunker that people know about, wouldn't surprise me if there's a more secure secret location for him.

@@lordcarnorjax8599 he wasn't in the bunker I suspect because he was hoping to be taken to a neutral area for a surrender negotiation. One of his secret service agents is in the press room and is trying to negotiate him being allowed to go somewhere to discuss terms of surrender. That, obviously, goes poorly and there isn't time to take him to the bunker or they can't get to the bunker at that point.

I thought this was a post I made bc I said the same thing . He would be at site R . Let the strong female soldiers storm RavenRock

True 😅

🤣🤣🤣

If you thought it was an accident you missed the point

​@@GeahkBurchill totally

​@@GeahkBurchill They weren't smart enough to do it on purpose. Now, can you imagine how dumb that makes you?... I don't know why I explained that because you aren't going to understand it anyways.

Don't die

​@@RobotHead. Will you ever stream a playthrough of metal gear rising revengeance?

​@@erikbihari3625is that the 20 year old game?

@@sjc5411. Old stuff can still slap! And m.g.r.r. slaps harder than count spankula from k.n.d.!

Yup, if you’re neutral, you end up whatever the side that takes your town over first is, basically.

I might be dumb but wasn’t that what they were saying?? When she left the store there were armed gunman on the roof and then they ran into the Todd from breaking bad. Implying that they controlled the town

It's irrelevant. The point is the character makes a big deal about wearing one and then gets show and instantly dies. Robot head is correct in saying there should have been a scene where she gives it to the other girl and then tries to save her but gets shot.

@@James_Bee I'm adding to the criticism of the movie. No journo would wear a pistol/stab vest. You maybe don't know what's relevant to my viewpoint.

Also Secret service in this film was outfitted like they normally are with PDW's and pistols. I don't recall seeing them using rifles but in any case the vest should have stopped the 9mm rounds being sent downrange bt the secret service unless they were rechambered into 5.7×28 though that is a detail that should have been addressed in the movie were it the case.

@@isaiahsmith7123 Ah that's interesting. SS agents do have PDWs for backup during peacetime, but I imagine they'd have long rifles for this situation. You're right about the vest then, but my point was she wouldn't be gearing up submachinegun and pistol rounds during wartime.

@@BDnevernind To be fair there may have been some armed with assault rifles( as they logically should be) but yes you are spot on.

Episode III: The Wall Defeats Them All

time hasn't been kind to her

They were overruled by the director.

Dude, there’s a ton of things you’ll catch as someone who works with cameras. For one, they had a lens that had something on it, in the mid-left side of the frame, and it was driving me nuts. It’s there throughout the film. They take shots in the middle of a bright day and they’re blurry, which means the shutter speed is below 60fps, which would mean it would all be blown the hell up, lighting wise. The shutter would need to be higher, which wouldn’t cause blur. They have huge zoom lenses but choose to go way up close to get footage. Why? That bugged me immediately, like, why do you need to be in the face of people fighting? Get your 55-200mm lens, and shoot from a distance, not that hard. Sticking your eye in the viewfinder is incredibly idiotic when you need your peripheral vision to be on high alert, especially when you have an LCD in the middle of the camera.

Telling the truth doesn't feed the flames; lying to people stupid enough to believe the propaganda is the problem. Read news, don't eat it.

indeed

Fr that was the only thing I got out of this movie

The score was a shit show & spoilt the already crap movie 100%

This movie was just a totally self-indulgent libt@rd's fantasy. Muh racisms.

Well, in the American air force that kind of stupid shit is normal, isn't it? I remember seeing on the news in the UK how a US fighter pilot targeted an *allied* truck convoy and destroyed a truck with a Union Jack painted on the top (precisely to help American pilots *not* shoot their allies) and *then* contacted the reconnaissance plane high above him to ask what it was that he had destroyed (the correct protocol is to contact the reconnaissance plane to ask what it is the pilot is seeing *before* he fires at anything).

@@KeldorDAntrell LOL. How is attacking the wrong convey related to doing arial stunts? One is a huge error, the other is just silly. Sorry about your convoy bro!

@@KeldorDAntrellthat’s not normal. What are you on about?

@@grenademaster8981 it's related because both demonstrate a lack of restraint, a careless attitude, a lack of concern for correct procedure.

@@Alex-ie1qu I thought I was quite clear. What don't you understand?

They are conflict journalists, not really the same as your average woke pundit

Most people wouldn't know a real journalist if they saw one. They even think they're allowed on cable news. 😂

@@B0tch0 Watergate was long before social media. . You get more accurate news from meme videos then mockingbird controlled media. Woodward and Bernstein would never be able to break a story like that now days unless they had permission.

Exactly journalism in the West as a whole is a joke nowadays especially the UK 🇬🇧 don’t get me fucking started on the daily mail or as I and others like to call it daily fail

@@B0tch0 , oh, I'm not discounting individuals that actually know how to do proper journalism (even in today's day and age). I'm just pointing out how a lot of people, especially those in positions of power or gated-off sectors where they don't see the harsh reality of the world, still have no clue how a lot of today's mainstream journalists are merely masquerading as such. And, yes, there are people out here on RU-vid who have done better attempts at proper journalism than those that have that label in their profession. Just compare and contrast journalism done by major news outlets versus someone like Upper Echelon who provides as much receipts as possible before committing to a conclusion (even admitting to faults and flaws at times whenever viable). You won't see nor hear that kind of humility from those journalists in seats of power where they'll do anything for the sake of clout and/or access to companies/corporations, politicians, etc. So, yes, journalism, on paper and on its own, is not a bad thing by default. It's just easily corruptible, especially during times when capitalizing on dividing people is at an all time high. I live in a country where it's basically all I hear from news outlets instead of actual meaningful developments in what's going on to help the regular folks.

Congratulations you might of missed the point

@@Dread_Pirate_Homesteader "Might have" not "might of"

@truthisparamount8992 aww cute you like marvel movies

Just pointing out that the Secret Service were using H&K MP5Ks, which use a 9mm pistol rounds.

@@gunfytr249 haven’t watched the movie, so thanks for pointing that out

100% factual, still recommend it though was one of the better big budget movies to come out

Expecxcting an all out action movie from A24 as a studio is not right though.

Wait she’s not 52?!

Well she is 41...

She seems like she’s aged 25 years in a decade

Bro, Kirsten is 74 😝🤣🤣Check your facts LOL

Jesse Plumpins makes her eat meat out of a bag.

That’s the Sithil war. Futurama already covered this

No no no It’s been _Star Wars_ fans and _Star Wars_ fans 😂

How is that a civil war?

^ yeah true, that would be a war war

😂 Gotta love clueless extras!

😅 I think you are right 👍

​@@RobotHead. Only America is capable of such narcissism. Metal gear rising revengeance was right!

@@erikbihari3625 Have you never spoken to a European before?

How can you tell they’re good? Sure they’re the protagonists but that doesn’t necessarily make em the good guys

No they aren't, I don't think you guys understood the movie

It was strangely empty 👍

Rule of cool ?

Only 41!

​@@RobotHead. Thought i'm looking at pepper potts!

Peter Parker's blood isn't his only body fluid that's radioactive. =~[.]^=

F-ing hell 🤣

@@Elder74 Seriously, there was a "What If?" storyline in which Peter Parker gave MJ *CANCER!* ='[.]'=

Same reason you see soldiers with anime girls on their guns in the real world lol

You know why and it’s polluting the armed forces in the real world, this day.

Antifa side

I assume it’s kinda like satire (prolly not the right word) almost like how movies set in the 80’s are obnoxiously 80’s, this time around they did it with modern culture

@@duck_entertainment they did a neutral movement. They featured Boogaloo boys in one fight and lbgtqplus antifa in the other

That would be a different film. You don't have to focus on every single aspect in a movie to tell a story. In fact, that will deter the viewer's focus from what you want to tell.

@@solokom and what exactly they want to tell? War is bad? Civil war is bad?

@@solokom at least give a reason why civil war is happening. Avarage people are not just going to fight their fellow countrymen just because they love fighting. Usually, somethings big,some very controversial events must be happening and caused civil unrest and ignite civil war.

​@@muhammadashshiddiq8752 "at least give a reason why civil war is happening." - that's the point, it doesn't matter. Also, if they had given a detailed reason they would have made it political and people would only have discussed these reasons. People already freaked out because Texas and California are fighting together. Imagine what would have happened if they gave the reason like you want it.

@@solokom but every civil war is in fact,political. War is politic with bloodshed and politics is war without bloodshed. And no war is more political than a civil war. Politics is what makes war interesting to study.

Maybe Reddit bots wrote this film?

Fail? Civil War Fends Off Three New Movies this week to Remain No. 1 on North American charts. LOL

@@solokom fail in term of lore and story. It doesn't even feel like a war movie,it feels more like a post-apocalyptic movie. Also the maps doesn't even make any sense.

@@muhammadashshiddiq8752 How does a war movie have to feel like to you?

@@muhammadashshiddiq8752 All of that was intentional.

@@solokom realistic war crime like looting and stuff if they really wanted to show a war is hell. A shell shocked veteran, entire town bombed to dust, foreign intervention and interest, some short truce.

It does say a lot though haha that war is bad for ALL sides.

@@user-gw1xl8tf6j 👆🏳‍🌈

@@user-gw1xl8tf6jlike every war movie?

That's her regular face! She just hit the wall hard!

@@meal_team_six I went to the enhanced format and sat in the second row. Her makeup was fucking nasty too, looked like she had dried cake batter under her eyes. It was not good.

That look has been going around lately. Like a certain actress in DUNE part II, she makes the same face. I call it, "California Face".

Cheers and thanks for the info 👍

When has the US, Israel, UK or France ever admitted to or been accountable for any atrocities? You're very naive if you believe that everyone is brought to justice after an armistice.

​@@RobotHead. Wanna see something with balls to tackle these topics? Four words"Metal gear rising revengeance"!

Yeah whoever was in charge of the military aspects of the movie did zero actual research into uniforms, weapons, vehicles, or other equipment. The scene with the Apache attack helicopter is one of the worst examples of the piss-poor research that went into this movie. To start with, Apaches don't have miniguns, they have autocannons that only fire at around 600 RPM, not the 2,000+ RPM of a minigun. Also, the Apache is flying way to low to the ground and way too close to the enemy, way too easy to be taken down by small arms fire and it couldn't maneuver at all if it had to because of the surrounding buildings. Also, the Apache wouldn't need to be there anyway since the Abrams tank on the street right behind and below it could have done a much better job of suppressing the enemy positions.

Which ironically they probably created.

I mean… It can happen. Until one of the sides gets to you, then you’re fighting on that side whether you want to or not.

@@alexman378 If you think of countries that were hit by war, civil or otherwise, cities usually don't have the option. If you are in a warzone combat will get to you.

@@LamiNalchor That’s what I’m saying, you can choose to be out of it, but someone will get to you and take you into the war eventually.

Cheers and Thanks. Nice to hear 👍

​@@RobotHead. Hope you're not an a.i. generated"generic"response.😅

I like the name

@@RobotHead It's very good, from what I've seen so far. I've only seen over half of the first season, but it's well done for the time (1985). It basically consists of 3 different anime re-edited to be part of one consistent continuity. Give it a look when you can.

I grew up watching that on Saturday mornings 😁 God I'm old...

Someone should show them metal gear rising revengeance! Even if it lacks the mutch praised"subtlety".

“People die when they are killed.” -Shiro Emiya

@@White_Recluse Also Shiro: "Lemme give up my invincibility to help king arthur-turned female fight gilgamesh"

I just watched his cut of Apocalypse Now (Redux) and afterwards (my first time seeing the film at all, mind you( my first thought was "well, that was pretentious". They build up Kurtz and then... he's just a sociopath that mumbles a bunch of nonsense. Maybe that was the point? What a dumb film. Duvall was awesome, though.

But Dont Look Up was such an amazing and clever film /s

@@James_Bee he doesn't talk non sense, the movie says something about war (how it should be fought: either make yourself at home like Kilgore tries to do with the surf stuff or you make war yours), Kurtz praises the Vietcong ability to wage war (the cut the arm of every vaccinated children), that's the point of his mologue and Brando is insanely good in it.

but there is a TrAnS sNiPeR though

Legitimately mind boggling how these points were not brought up at all on his well spoken criticism and her incels somehow bring it up. Just come out the closet already and tell us you can't get LGBT off your mind

How does one get a whole muffin lost in a sofa? 😂

@@lordartahnis Did you look in your sofa recently, you could be surprised lol 🧐🥞

I met a 24yo who’s “a writer for a high profile show” and was clearly a sheltered kid who spent his whole show inexperienced life playing video games and in the echo chamber university system. I simply asked him, what could you possibly write about anyone would be interested in? Good writers like JRR Tolkien, Hemingway, and Dostoyevsky had gritty life experience that made their work compelling, relatable, and realistic. That’s why movies like Civil War and current shows are terrible. Anymore, the bar is “well, at least it’s not terrible.”

I see what you did there.😉

They use digital as well in the film.

If you're watching this movie and nit picking the cameras, you're watching the movie wrong

@@scottmiller2222 The camera nitpicking is just an example of the greater issues. I would suggest if you are making a movie about the horror of war without any grounding or context for the conflict or the how the protagonists feel about it then you are doing your movie making wrong because there is no reason to be invested in anything or anyone. Like the romanticism of the cameras I nitpicked the characters themselves are thinly draw romanticizations of classic journo stereotypes with little else going for them. And world building is likewise devoid of context which I realize was intentional, but makes it difficult to invest in. For all the audience knows invading armies execute the last person, however flawed, standing for the freedoms of the constitution. Yay?

@@dangerdolls The analog choice of camera reveals something about the mindset of the character. It is a perfectly fine choice.

I like old cameras, in that I think they look cool, and I like learning how they work. I don’t, however, have any interest in using one when digital versions work so much better.

LOL it’s like they didn’t even bother cleaning up the set

What horror movie are you thinking of?

@@solokom basically anything from steven king XD

?

@@Gypsygeekfreak17 Yeah, I said it

Agreed. Also, they had tanks - why bring a chopper...?

@@saynomore192 an if’n you’re gunna they fly higher than that for a reason. Apaches are surprisingly under armored.

That is the best way to describe her face and makes so much sense.

Ella Purnell is very pretty. Just needs to not drown herself in makeup

Show sucked and ruined lore but did diversity casting right, only problem is that there shouldn’t be a fat guy in a vault
