You might like this review of the movie Civil War. Very well thought out review.
Alex Garland's CIVIL WAR has a clear and simple meaning
What an excellent video essay, thanks for sharing. On the second watch, after removing the expectation of an alternative history, Civil War hit me really hard that a future civil war would be absurd and horrific.
That contrasts well with how most of the media present events as somehow well thought out and considered. Many stories somehow manage to make even the most unhinged, word salad rants into thoughtful position statements, followed up with a bland bit of "other side" objection.
