I mean it isn't that clever. Wasn't Full Metal Jacket Vietnam from the perspective of a Combat Journalist? That film was how old?
If journalists are being hunted down then yeah, they are being portrayed as the good guys, I bet they never even touch on the fact that the only reason there even is a civil war is because of their meddling and fake news in the first place.
Anyway, I'll probably give it a watch, but if they make the Sniper with a hello kitty manicure the biggest bad ass I won't be happy about it. lol
PS. Im not the dude who downvoted you for whatever reason they did
I have also noticed a lot of downvotes on comments I am replying to while having an actual discussion with, obviously an attempt to cause infighting. I'm certain I'm not alone in this too.
That was just Kubrick's style, he wasn't hitting the audience over the head with the message of his films, which is why he was so great.
He didn't just "happen to be a journalist", That was the story that was written for a reason. The Born to Kill on his helmet, the peace pin on his fatigues, running into his old mates from bootcamp who have now become savages and documenting them, and eventually getting his first kill making the transition from being a spectator into a killer (one of them), played a larger part of the film than you picked up on.
I'd argue that not only is it similar, but I doubt Civil war can come close to accomplishing what FMJ did.
Also not sure if Civil War was shot in a 'fake' documentary style (think spinal tap - fuck Rob Reiner), looks like its just following Journalists making a documentary.

There’s been a lot of strange downvoting lately, especially on comments denouncing violence and lawbreaking.
Feds out in force.
Piss off, traitors.

I see you, glowboys!
The Mainstream press stopped covering wars after Vietnam.

Don't get mad at me you didn't get it. It's worth a rewatch. Kubrick's films went over alot of people's heads on their first viewings.
