Civil War

Summary

Alex Garland ’s next movie afterCivil Warhas one fundamental conflict that will accost the big complaints about his A24 action epic . Civil Warmarked a drastic leaving for Garland as all his previous directorial features had fallen into the sci - fi or repulsion category . Dreddis a futuristic actioner , Ex Machinais a sci - fi hair-raiser meditating on A.I.,Annihilationis a stalk patch of cosmic revulsion , andMenexists in its own world of weirdness . Despite direct place in a dystopian near - future in which the United States is ravaged by war , Civil Waris his most grounded movie to date .

Alex Garland’s Next War Movie Is About Ray Mendoza’s True Story

Garland ’s next movie isWarfare , which will once again be bankrolled and grow by A24 . Unlike his last five films , Warfareis not a solo directorial project . Garland has co - written the script and will co - direct the film with Ray Mendoza . Mendoza exercise as the military supervisor onCivil War , andWarfarewill be an autobiographical body of work embroider his own military experiences . Garland has insisted thatWarfareis very much Mendoza ’s movie and he ’ll just shepherd it through production as a co - theatre director .

While some classic war movies are exclusively false , likeSaving Private Ryan , The Deer Hunter , andApocalypse Now , a raft of the musical genre ’s undecomposed movies are likewise based on veridical wartime experiences . Platoon , Dunkirk , Hacksaw Ridge , Lone Survivor , andThe Great Escapewere all based on true stories . With Garland and Mendoza at the helm , Warfarecould unite their ranks .

Warfare Being A True Story Avoids Civil War’s Biggest Criticism

The biggest criticism directed atCivil Waris that its political sympathies are too equivocal and it does n’t supply any detail on the background of its fictional state of war . Eagle - eyed viewers will notice thatCivil War ’s sniper scene explain everything , but there ’s no ironclad worldbuilding ; it ’s more about America ’s divisions in the outline . Warfarewon’t be able to avoid political item , since it ’s base on a true story and a existent - living warfare . Civil War ’s critic will come up what they ’re look for whenWarfarearrives .
