Civil War director Alex Garland believes that many critics are missing the point by deeming the movie apolitical. In an interview, Garland revealed that the movie does have a massive political undertone, leaving audiences to decide the meaning for themselves.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Civil War director Alex Garland believes that many critics are missing the point. In a movie about journalists working to document the events of a second American civil war , politics are an inherent element of the narrative. The United States has split into factions, with California and Texas forming the revolutionary Western Forces.

People keep saying the film is not political. I think they're just missing the point. It's just not stating politics in the way they want it to be stated. I thought, it's actually not necessary because audiences ideally would make their own interpretation: ‘What threatens us? What is there around right now that might lead us to this place?’ And I leave that to them.
