Who Would Win an Actual A24 Civil War?
A24’s Civil War never gets into specifics about its divided America, so we imagined our own A24 civil war.
Because while the actual film actively works against attempts to turn the underlying conflict into grist for the supplementary-content mill — Max Read calls it an “anti-explainer movie” — to sell Civil War to the public, A24’s marketing has leaned into the bird’s-eye-view, strategy-game approach. Notable Films: The Bling Ring, 20th Century Women, A Ghost Story, Lady Bird, The Disaster Artist, mid90s, Gloria Bell, Under the Silver Lake, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Red Rocket, Everything Everywhere All at Once, X, Pearl, The Iron Claw. I wouldn’t want to come up against Katy O’Brian’s female bodybuilder from Love Lies Bleeding in a fight, and while Robert Pattinson in Good Time and Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems don’t make the best strategic decisions, those Safdie protagonists certainly know how to seize the initiative, one of the U.S. military’s fundamental operational doctrines.
