Civil Waris shaping up to be one of A24’s most successful films, which is odd considering how far the film starts from the roots of its studio. The film follows a group of journalists making their way from the now-divided United States of America, which had split into multiple factions.

Starring in the film along with Kristen Dunst and Wagner Moura, is Jesse Plemons, who has been credited with one of the most chilling scenes in the film, one that might be more relevant to today’s political climate than any other part of the film.

Jesse Plemons delivered one of the most chilling scenes ofCivil War

Civil Waris a film that comes under the genre of dystopian fiction, although there are enough memes online that would say otherwise. One of the scenes in the film, involving the ever-talentedJesse Plemons(Jungle Cruise,Killers of the Flower Moon), serves as a cameo for the actor. However, this one scene has gotten a lot of people at the edge of their seats, given how filled with tension it is.

This is one of the most DISTURBING scenes I’ve seen in a long time…it’s scary how good Jesse Plemons is at acting 😳

Kirsten Dunst’s character in Civil War was inspired by famed war correspondent Marie Colvin

The scene involves Plemmons, playing a militant, asking the journalists what kind of an American are they. This signifies the broken nature of the states, which might have unofficially separated from the union, but are not internationally recognized yet. This points towards the increasing problem of division that plagues even today’s America.

Civil Warhas been receiving a significant amount of praise online

Civil Waris being loved by critics, as is indicated by its more than satisfactorycriticsscoreson various sites. However, it has also managed to capture the hearts of fans.

The film’s themes and motifsare something that can resonate with the audiences, given how polarized the climate of the country is, and with every aspect of public life coming under immense scrutiny, there is something cathartic about the coming of a film likeCivil War. It is able to speak to people who feel that the United States has never been more divided, serving as a cautionary tale for all those who truly understand what the film means to a modern American audience.
