doesn't garland's civil war have similiar themes?

[lyra_loo]

I've heard Civil War is surprisingly apolitical? Which isn't that surprising considering they have Texas and California teaming up. I could be wrong tho.

garland gave some pretty weird interviews, idek

Alex Garland: “Left and right are ideological arguments about how to run a state. That’s all. They’re not right or wrong, but we’ve made it into ‘good and bad,’ a moral issue, and that’s f-king idiotic” #CivilWarMovie https://t.co/VyLPP5EOkk

I think there's a valid point to be made about how a lot of war films push camaraderie and brotherhood and end up essentially being morally pro-conflict because of sentiment. but like, APOCALYPSE NOW is absolutely Not It. pic.twitter.com/Lqp6xwcLTe

There aren't enough (good) movies about hippies. As someone who's really fascinated by the 60s, I wish the topic was explored more

If I believed in past lives I would actually think I was alive back then, haha. Sadly no such thing.

And Field of dreams, I love that movie! Young Kevin Costner ♥

I wish there was a better gif lol. I’m honestly meh about the movie as a whole but it has so many great moments including this. When he starts spraying him and tells him to go back where he came from 😂

I totally get you though. Even though I was born in ‘86 I def vibe more with that era and I can’t explain why.

This sounds awful, hard pass.

Alternate reality - L O L. Not in my America.

But also, go hippies!
