While I disagree with the “boring as fuck” description, “war thriller” is surely just as wrong.
It’s not actually about the photographers realy. That’s just the plot.
The war is in fact far more than a cameo. It is what the movie is about. But again, it’s not about the story of the war, or the plot of it.
It’s about what a war would look like, or feel like, if it happened in the US, instead of some far off place we might not be able to point to on a map.
That’s what the movie is really about.
I’ve often wondered, and occasionally asked people:
Is this question, as I’m asking now with this sentaence, a stupid question?
India is roughly a billion people; The largest democracy in the world. I think they get it all done in 3 months. They also just had an election this year.
The US is kinda unique, having years long presedental campaigns. It’s crazy, and complety, unnecessarily, excessive.
There’s no reason for it, beyond driving donations for parties, and ratings for news networks.
But it’s the insanity we have. The insanity we’ve gotten used to.
