Civil War (2024) is the newest film from auteur production studio A24, and it has been cause of a lot of debate due to it's apolitical approach to the film's storyline. I think the lack of politics is what makes Civil War good...terrifyingly good, with an underlying tone of what I call "philosophical horror"

/chapters.
1. premise and initial thoughts
2. hidden artistry
3. the flaws of the film
4. philosophical horror
.Conclusion

About me:
I am a 20-somethin’ y.o intellectual crackhead, who like books, poetry, and anything else I like to get into (art, films, philosophy, culture, social commentary etc.). Talking books, I like classics, literary fiction, and sci-fi, but will read anything if it’s bad-funny enough.
