Alex Garland, the visionary director behind the provocative film *Civil War*, has defended the movie against criticisms claiming it lacks political commentary or relevance to the current American political climate. Describing such critiques as "complete bullshit," Garland emphasized that the film's political nature might not align with critics’ expectations, but it undeniably engages with political themes. Set against a backdrop of speculative fiction and dystopian thrill, *Civil War* explores a dark future where the United States descends into chaos, a narrative that has sparked debate even before its wide release. Garland’s intention is to ignite conversations about political division, violence, and the potential for fascism, encouraged by the film's disquieting narrative and complex portrayal of a fragmented America.
