Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Civil War” writer-director Alex Garland gave a lengthy interview to Vulture in which he was asked to weigh in on accusations against his film that claim it’s irresponsible to open it in theaters amid such a turbulent election year.
Garland’s film is set in an America at war with itself (Texas and California have seceded to become the Western Forces) and follows a group of journalists attempting to interview the U.S.
president. “The truest thing I’d say about that is I honestly don’t know whether it’s responsible or irresponsible because I would need to know too many things I don’t know in order to be able to answer that question,” Garland answered about “Civil War” opening amid the 2024 election cycle. “But what I do think is that there’s a converse, a counter to that, which is ‘What’s the consequence of not saying things?
What’s the consequence of silence? Of silencing oneself or silencing other people?'” That Garland’s script does not provide much political context at all for the civil war unfolding on screen, which has ignited heated debate among film critics and audiences.
