"Civil War": Alex Garland's Anti-War Film Starring Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny
Director Alex Garland's new film "Civil War" aims to be a real anti-war movie by avoiding romanticizing war and focusing on portraying the reality of conflict through the experiences of journalists covering a civil war in the near-future U.S. The film explores the impact of repetition on journalists at different stages of their careers and reflects Garland's evolving perspective on politics and the media, leading him to identify as a centrist. Garland also expresses concerns about the rise of fascist behavior around the world, which he believes the government and media should protect against.
