Director Alex Garland\u2019s \u201cCivil War\u201d is still more than a month away, but the online chatter over it has reached a fever pitch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film, co-starring Kirsten Dunst and \u201cParks & Recreation\u201d alum Nick Offerman, takes place in a near-future where America is at war.<\/p>\n

With itself.<\/p>\n

The two trailers for the A24 release give little away<\/a> about the story in question. We know that Offerman\u2019s president is taking a stand, Texas and California have forged an unlikely alliance and the titular \u201cWar\u201d is far from cold.<\/p>\n

Guns. Tanks. Weapons. Bodies.<\/p>\n

The title is the ultimate spoiler alert.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=civil+wars+trailer+2024<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for the liberal press to use the film as a cudgel against Red State America. Variety used several Tweets to frame the conversation as unhinged conservatives<\/a> declaring war on the film, sight unseen.<\/p>\n

The bulk of such reactions to Civil War seem to come from the left side of the political spectrum, and their take goes like this: Regardless of the film\u2019s (presumably pro-unity) message, the film is uncomfortably timely and its \u201cus vs. us\u201d warfare will become MAGA fantasy fuel.<\/p>\n

That story’s URL includes the phrases “MAGA violence.”<\/p>\n

Subtle.<\/p>\n

To be fair, a tiny fraction of conservatives has dubbed the film \u201cpredictive programming<\/a>,\u201d suggesting Garland co. are setting the stage for a progressive hot war against conservatives via the film.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a kernel of truth to the “Civil War” debate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an election year, and a film like this would have landed far differently a decade ago.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s rematch between Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be as ugly as any contest in recent memory. The 2020 election may look quaint by comparison.<\/p>\n

Remember how stores boarded up their windows<\/a> prior to the 2020 election results? That wasn\u2019t to prepare for a Biden victory.<\/p>\n

Does anyone doubt a Trump win will be greeted by far-Left violence?<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

America, in too many ways, is a deeply divided nation. Every Thanksgiving we\u2019re treated to think pieces on how to handle your problematic Uncle at turkey time.<\/p>\n

Political differences have shattered more than a few friendships. Some family members no longer speak to each other over their political disagreements.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t experienced either phenomenon consider yourself lucky.<\/p>\n

Pop culture makes matters worse.<\/p>\n

Celebrities and TV shows routinely demonize conservatives, from late-night talkers to \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d It\u2019s hard to forget the time \u201cSNL\u201d depicted Trump supporters as racist, KKK-style members.<\/p>\n

Literally.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

And that was roughly eight years ago. Imagine what the show will uncork in the months to come.<\/p>\n

News outlets do all they can to gin up hate and mistrust.<\/p>\n

Remember how George Zimmerman, who fatally shot Trayvon Martin back in 2012, was dubbed a \u201cwhite Hispanic<\/a>\u201d in the press to create a racial storyline where none existed?<\/p>\n

Remember the media\u2019s fake, \u201cHands up, don\u2019t shoot\u201d narrative?<\/p>\n

More recently, MSNBC rolled out the red carpet for the authors behind a new book claiming rural white men<\/a> are the new threat to the American dream.<\/p>\n

Celebrated director Rob Reiner\u2019s latest project, \u201cGod & Country,\u201d<\/a> pulls a similar stunt against God-fearing Republicans.<\/p>\n

Is it any wonder a film like \u201cCivil War\u201d has some folks on edge?<\/p>\n

One thing is clear. We know nothing about the film. Zero. Nada.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re micro-examining the trailers for clues, but they\u2019ve offered nothing of consequence. It\u2019s clear Garland is a top-flight storyteller, witness bravura films like \u201cEx Machina\u201d and \u201cAnnihilation.\u201d He\u2019s likely disinterested in a grindhouse assault on the senses, and he must know the delicate state of the nation.<\/p>\n

The better artists grasp the culture at large and the timing of their art.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been done a similar road before, and culture didn\u2019t handle it well.<\/p>\n

The 2016 film \u201cThe Hunt\u201d teased a frightening scenario. What if liberals captured a gaggle of conservatives and hunted them for sport?<\/p>\n

That film arrived after Trump assumed office, and tensions were already white hot. Trump even weighed in on the film indirectly, making matters worse since no one had seen the film yet.<\/p>\n

What happened next?<\/p>\n

Two mass shootings roiled the news cycle and, before long Universal Pictures hit \u201cpause\u201d<\/a> on \u201cThe Hunt\u2019s\u201d release schedule.<\/p>\n

It was a sad moment for free speech, although not nearly as tragic as what we\u2019re seeing now across the culture. Big Tech censorship, aided and abetted by Team Biden, should worry us all.<\/p>\n

(That it doesn\u2019t is another reason to despair the state of our Union.)<\/p>\n

When \u201cThe Hunt\u201d finally arrived in theaters<\/a> most movie goers greeted it with a shrug. The story proved surprisingly bipartisan, with both sides of the political aisle taking their lumps.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

The big surprise? Betty Gilpin\u2019s Red State warrior stole the film and emerged as its moral compass.<\/p>\n

Looking back, conservatives who condemned the film without seeing it looked foolish.<\/p>\n

Will history repeat itself with \u201cCivil War?\u201d Could it, too, be stricken from the release schedule a la \u201cThe Hunt?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter even suggested it shouldn\u2019t debut so close to a presidential election \u2013 with a dash of Jan. 6 propaganda.<\/p>\n

Still, after the Jan. 6 riots that attempted to decertify the 2020 presidential election and with the likelihood of a Joe Biden and Donald Trump rematch, some find it impossible not to see the movie as a pointed commentary on our current divisive times \u2014 regardless of its fictional premise \u2014 and question whether its release is appropriate seven months before the presidential election.<\/p>\n

A few more adrenalized think pieces could make that a reality. Hollywood cowardice is the order of the day. Just ask Michael Rapaport, who can\u2019t stop blasting celebrities<\/a> for not speaking up on behalf of Israeli hostages.<\/p>\n

Dunst offered one tease about the film<\/a>, something that makes it more in line with \u201cThe Hunt\u201d than some expect.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a cautionary tale, a fable of what happens when people don’t communicate with each other and stop seeing each other as human beings.”<\/p>\n

One thing remains clear.<\/p>\n

If America can\u2019t handle a thriller packed with themes uncomfortably ripped from the headlines, there\u2019s little need for a civil war, real or imagined.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cCivil War\u201d premieres at the SXSW TV & Film Festival next week and rolls out in theaters nationwide April 12.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
