[...] these are some of the film makers I have revered: Charlie Chaplin (more for his silent features than his talkies) and Shirley Temple, (both as a child and adult for the former and as a child only for the latter) [...]

Wow! I just examined Shirly Temple's complete filmography on Wikipedia, and couldn't find a single silent film listed.

Do you know something we don't?

Regards,

I haven’t seen it because I’m not sure from which political persuasion the movie is coming from. I’ve heard recently that it’s actually more a movie that is pro left than to conservatives. But I’m glad you’re asking the forum here so we can find out exactly what is fact and fiction.

The timing of this movie is interesting as we do seem on the edge of a civil war. Arguably much more so than in the 1850s.

Am I wrong on this one?

The movie is predicated on a ridiculous suppostion: CA and TX are mortal ememies and would NEVER join forces.

At least the South had several months to organize and prepare for war. It had leaders trained by the best US Military academies. That is why a 90 day dust up lasted four long years. I see no preparation now just bold talk.

It’s a road trip movie, not a war movie.

It’s Marxist commie trash. The message is that if you’re anything but a progressive Marxist commie then you’re the enemy. Notice the Yellow Vests (France) and the Blue Helmet (The UN Soldiers). The messages are sometime blatant and sometimes subliminal but they are all pushing a single narrative.

Notice the bad guy in someplace like the Ozarks who plays an ignorant mean hateful hillbilly bully. Are there people like that, maybe, but there are far more rural folk who are not.

Civil War is progressive trash.

The movie was ok. Would have liked to have seen more of the war, but the focus was on the reporters road trip to Washington.
