Civil War is an intense and realistic film experience
The bleak vision for the future is more like this Soft sci-fi because it is less about technical achievements than about a US civil war that deals with political and sociological conflicts.
Our editor Esther Stroh describes her intense cinematic experience of Civil War in detail and praises the actors who emotionally convey the story from the main cast to the supporting cast. First and foremost is Kirsten Dunst as a war reporter. The film also questions the motivation behind their dangerous work:
It throws us into the profession of war correspondents in a frighteningly real way. With their cameras they storm into a raging conflict film people burning instead of saving them.
Why audiences and critics are so enthusiastic is probably due to the emotionality of the topic, which is presented with powerful images and sensitivity.
It is a fictional war experience that is based on real fears and seems all the more tangible given the current news situation – because it is theirs puts fingers in the wound of our present.Civil War: The cinema high-flyer sets two records
