Civil War (2024)
A war correspondent movie without much story
Chilling scenes of violence depicting man's inhumanity to man especially disturbing when considering it is Americans doing it to each other. The military equipment was pretty accurately depicted. The plot of the film was a flimsy tale of four journalists traveling from NYC to DC to interview the President amidst a civil war. The story was weak. There was no intrigue or suspense in the story. If it were not for threat of being caught up in the violence of the war there would be no excitement in the story at all. There was no explanation as to what started the civil war except the president disbanded the FBI and somehow forced himself into a 3rd term. It was subtle but there were hints as to who the president was supposed to be. The ending did not bring any reasonable resolution to the story or
believable end to the supposed war.
World War II: From the Frontlines (2023)
Could've been amazing but historically inaccurate
Amazing restored footage and personal interviews but misses the mark on accurate history. Went out of the way to show the actions of the Allies that cast them in a bad light. Makes no mention that Germany targeted civilians first in the Battle over Britain. Made no attempt to explain the loss lives in the invasions of the smaller islands that led the US to estimate the millions that would have died in fighting for the main islands of Japan. Italy did not conquer Greece either. Jon Boyega's narration was terrible. You would think English was not his native tongue. I would say it's worth watching for the interviews and restored frontline film. Take the history as slanted and in some cases just wrong.
