There's a quote by George Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright and activist who saw alot of societal upheaval, that goes: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." That's what Garland is referring to, though the original quote was more about innovation in a way. Though Civil war is innovation in a way also. All the media is focused on the unrreasnable man, and they are the ones quoted and put on TV. In a Russian Disinformation Study" or the "Russian Fake News Study," done by researchers at the Psychological Department of Moscow State University and published in the journal "Psychological Science, they found that you can change people's view of reality within a couple of days if you bombarded them with enough disinformation. This is one of the main issues in the US. The news is owned by just a few corporations and they focus on the extremes and polarize people, which is what creates the environment for Civil War.

Few Americans know the bloodshed and pain, they don't understand the failures of reconstruction and how that divide never fully healed, and most people don't seem to recall that in our Civil War there were SIX TIMES as many casualties suffered by the US during WWII. I don't think most people understand how absolutely deadly and destructive a civil war is, its fantasized because war has for America over the past century, never touched our soil. It happened 'over there', out of mind. But theres nothing that prevents Chicago or Atlanta or anywhere else from looking exactly like Gaza.

Going to see this on Friday - cant wait

Been dying to see this movie since the trailer dropped, cant wait to the two whole days until its released

His novel “The Beach” was a great read,

Thank you for pointing this out! I never read the novel, but did watch the film. Riveting in many ways about the psyche of humans whilst traveling in foreign lands, in the wilderness. Along with the soundtrack, it actually shaped a big part of my adolescence. Now I would like to visit that story again and read the book.

This guy's voice is well suited to tell a group of kids to keep quiet because they are in a library

An admirable man, humble, well spoken. I love Costa but he wasn’t the right choice to interview the guy, he kept interrupting, saying “right” etc. which was distracting. Will look for other interviews with Garland. Motivated now to see the movie.

Great interview

Just for curiosity… you ate ssying that the Daily Dhow is the real high moral media that only cares about the truth and are the free and unbiased media?

Saw it yesterday. It was riveting, depressing, thought-provoking and beautifully acted and filmed and...must be seen in a theatre. the assault on D.C. at the end is unlike anything I've seen.

Way to go Cousin Alex!

Journalists ARE extremely important to our way of life. But we absolutely have to find a way to cease the marketing inherent in most mainstream news…marketing is a term I use here because too many outlets are giving just enough context to stir anxiety and anger BECAUSE angry, anxious people stay tuned and that sells advertising. We need to get back to “the Fairness Doctrine” and Walter Cronkite style reporting without hyperbole and/or deletion of context that would reduce anxiety. The WHOLE story is important. I recommend people seek out news sources that are rigorous in fact checking and provide as much context as possible. One excellent source of such news is KZreadr “Beau of the Fifth Column”. Yes, there is a decided left slant but also enough context to reduce anxiety.

Beau only “leans left” only because DJT didn’t just push it, he drop kicked Overton’s Window so far to the right, anything that promotes any form of social equity feels “leftist” to many out there. Even if he is an avowed Progressive, there’s nothing wrong with caring about issues if they don’t actually affect him in his daily life. When someone lives their life with a true sense integrity, intellectual dishonesty from people like DJT and all those who still support him become quite off putting. If you like Beau, and I do too, check out Tennessee Brando too, except he doesn’t sugarcoat his material as well as Beau does. Side note: If you’re not familiar with it yet, Google: #Project2025 when you have the chance.

He is correct that most people are not themselves extremists but a lot of people are willing to support and prop up extremists.

So everyone is clear, this is a movie about journalists. As a former war photog, that element was spot on. This could be set in any of the wars I was in.

There is a 5th column, it consists of regular people. People who, in normal circumstances, just pick up the pieces and put society back together after/during a crisis. Those are the very same people who work diligently to protect and serve our society, as it is, with no reward or credit. I assure you . . . NO ONE should want to pick a fight with them.

@@nadominhocaThat individual is heated in their words, yes, but if you listen to the things DJT says, it’s not to be taken lightly. Google: #Project2025 for an idea of what lies at stake here, and why someone like this sounds hyperbolic the way they do. When DJT says he’d “only be dictator for one day” you can believe him in two ways; that he would become one, but not just for a day. Never in recorded history has anyone who has usurped power in government to establish a dictatorship has ever given up their power eventually, gradually, willingly. When faced with the conundrum of clarifying what he meant by that, he doubled down on it too.

We live is a strange world now. Even though it is fictional the possibility is more stronger than ever before. Remarkable I remember an HBO Original film called "Second Civil War" which was a comedy and satire since everyone said not likely to happen. Now we have another film suggesting another Civil War in the United States and now it is a serious film ko longer something to laugh but to ponder.

I love how people who are intelligent and articulate always look so uncomfortable on television, as if they're allergic to the spotlight or something. If you've ever been on a stage or set, you know what I'm talking about.

Garland and Cilian must get on so well when talking about how much they hate the commercial side of film making.

Love Alex

That last thing he said was one of the most profound. Every person who is at least trying to be a decent human being has some loonie out there claiming to represent them, and has to grapple with other people saying, “Oh, you’re _______ just like those creeps over there, I already know what you think, what you believe, how dumb you are...” They aren’t interested in being corrected either. When you say you’re not like those people, folks roll their eyes and say, “Oh, #notall_______,” and still won’t listen. If you’re reading this and can’t think of any situation where someone misjudged you this way, you’re probably either an extremist or someone who doesn’t do much of anything.
