Brilliant analysis here! Love how you connected Ken’s relationship with water throughout the series to both Logan’s and the doctor’s time in the water at the therapy retreat. Really love seeing how layered the show is after having just finished it and wanted to dive deeper than the surface. You’ve earned a subscriber out of me, hope to see more videos like this (of other series/movies) in the future!

I think it also hints heavily that the Presidents followrs in this timeline, they are like a cult. Like the suicide bomber in the beginning of the films. The army and secret service units that defend the White House in the later part of film, they remind me of SS in Berlin 1945. So would have been interesting to heard more about that led to the three teams and civil war.

The movie is nonsense. It presumes that "JOURNALISTS" are still the Walter Cronkite/Paul Harveyesque variety "good guys". Modern media are propaganda outlets that are spinning facts and telling outright lies and pitting us against each other, fanning flames of hatred. The Majority of Americans no longer trust the media. Then there is the unlikely alliance between States that have totally different cultures and economies. The Military? would they follow orders to use Apache Helicopters against Americans? Then there is the issue of State National Guards, very unlikely they would support Federal troop actions in their respective states. So the film is very unrealistic and impractical. Now if the film makers would have factored in the millions of illegals taking up arms and refusing deportation, establishing autonomous zones that would be more likely.

you would be able to understand the movie better if you get into the shoes of a journalist, you have identified the key point but i encourage you to understand them better....most reporters dont get time to process what they go through, they become numb and kinda of dead inside over time,...the movie captured that isolation and the lack of time to process ones own emotions , yes we see and acknowledge whats going on, thats the job...to report...to document even if it may seem pointless and often there is no time to be human in that process...

I don't think the video argues that the point isn't salient, I think the main character actually pushes the message of the movie at the beginning, and then the movie kind of just proves her right? There's no real ideological opposition or back-and-forth, and the video's arguing that makes for an uninteresting watch. Also the idea of a modern American Civil War isn't at all necessary, you could use any war-torn country to make the point the movie's making. Hence the title; the premise is a lie.

That’s the point, it could happen anywhere and it happens in the U.S.. Not because the U.S. is special but because it is not. The President doesn’t give you some 1776 final line he just doesn’t want to die. Which means that whatever he did all of this for doesn’t fuel him in the end when faced with his own mortality. It tells you that at some point the only reason everyone was fighting for him was because he just didn’t want to die.

a lot of people seem to be missing that this movie is not about politics or propaganda, it's about photojournalism and images being used to tell a story (the question is - whose story?). In the film we don't know why the states seceded from the US so its a bit of a guessing game as to who is right and who is wrong but thats not relevant Watch the very last bit/the ending again when jesse takes the shot of the soldiers and the press guy standing over the president, thats the image that shows what really happened. But what a lot of people miss is that there is another shot that appears as a closing credit shot where the soldiers are over the dead presidents body, smiling and showing v for victory signs and the press guy isnt in the shot. The first shot immediately before the credits is the truth, the second shot in that fades in after the credits is the shot that would be published by the winners/the WF. IMHO that was the point of the movie - the images we get to see are rarely the entire truth

I agree with your take on the Thomas Wayne reveal I didn't think it brought as much to the film as it should've but I don't agree that batman was "gastlit" in his similarity to the Riddler. I think that this is a valid thing to feel as a vigilante/hero. I feel like you question how you're inspiring/influencing the people in the city that you're trying to save and when a masked murderer is claiming to be inspired by you I think you question it and take a deeper dive into yourself. I do agree with what you said about whether the batman at the end of the movie would react in the same way in the subway situation the movie leaves you to guess on that which I didn't mind but valid point.

“I wouldn’t question Batman re-examining his mission after his meeting with the Riddler but it’s wild to me that he’s using a sample of like 12 people who just tried to commit a mass shooting based on an obviously distorted version of his ideology as inspiration to change, and I think it’s made less effective when the movie doesn’t give us a clear idea of how Batman has actually changed. What exactly is he going to do differently? He talks about hope but again, our only demonstration of his change in direction comes when he saves the people who were trapped. He’s not making a real choice there. He doesn’t have to choose between saving civilians and beating someone up. He has to choose between saving them and just hanging out in the rafters. And so, to me, the moment doesn’t end up representing anything, when it’s clear the movie wants it to be a demonstration of Batman’s new outlook. I used the term “gaslighting” because I don’t think the movie adequately makes the case that Batman’s doing anything wrong, but it still, in a way, blames him for the entire conflict.” - theshwath
