I wish there was just a bit more backstory.
Alex Garland's dystopian war thriller Civil War provided a riveting narrative about journalists embedded at the front of a new war between the states, but I wish it had given just a bit more detail about how the new Civil War started. The heavy thriller marks production company A24's most expensive project yet, and Civil War's ambitious and controversial storytelling matches the significant investment.
Civil War Not Explaining The Origin Of The War Hurt The Movie It Provided Small Details, But No Real Backstory Civil War provides some clues throughout its runtime as to why and how the new Civil War began, but it never explicitly discusses the origins of the war, or how the lines came to be drawn where they were when the movie began. In some ways, not explaining any of the war's backstory ended up hurting the movie.
In not providing any details about the war's origins, Civil War also missed out on enhancing the backstories of the central characters as well. Kirsten Dunst's Lee Smith is a renowned war photographer by the time the events of Civil War take place, but relatively little is revealed about the other characters' histories.
While Garland's desire for political neutrality is admirable in that context, that isn't a satisfying reason to provide virtually no details about the war that the entire story centers around. Wanting to understand how something that has never felt more possible came to be is a perfectly natural line of thought for any American watching the movie, and Garland's refusal to address it feels borderline stubborn.
