"Civil War" -- Reactions? [View all]

I watched it the other day and walked out of the theater feeling traumatized and shaken. Kirsten Dunst is magnificent as a hardened photojournalist trying to cover the breakdown of American society. It's a vision of America that reminds me of the MAGA fantasy of civil war, where they get to pull out their guns and shoot or hang liberals.

This film is a horrifying look at the reality of "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." The question is, who is the patriot and who is the tyrant? The film leaves it up to the viewer.
