The Movie ‘Civil War’: Alex Garland’s Provocative Exploration of America’s Unimaginable Future
A Fresh Perspective on the Movie “Civil War”: Exploring Themes of Journalism, Politics, and Art
With his latest film “Civil War,” renowned writer and director Alex Garland presents a thought-provoking portrayal of an imagined America grappling with authoritarianism, political polarization, and the harrowing realities of modern warfare. Through a dynamic narrative set against the backdrop of urban fighting, refugee camps, and mass atrocities that are typically associated with distant conflicts, Garland dares to bring these nightmarish scenarios right into our own backyard.
Journalism as a Central Theme
In its essence, “Civil War” is not just another action-packed blockbuster but also an introspective examination of journalism’s role in society. As we follow four reporters embarking on a perilous journey from New York to Washington D.C. via uncharted territories like Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia, we witness firsthand the ethical dilemmas faced by those committed to shedding light on truth

At the Venice Biennale, the hypnotic “Drama 1882” in the Egyptian pavilion
The long queue in front of the Egyptian pavilion at the Giardini is a sign that word of mouth is favorable. The trickle of entries can also be explained by the fact that Wael Shawky presents a forty-five minute film, in classical Arabic, with a gauge defined by a concern for readability of the subtitles, at ground level. It’s worth being patient. The Egyptian artist (born in 1971) revisits the story again in his own way, at once epic, serious, and full of fantasy.

However, he was the only one who didn’t know anything yet. “I’m full of stress. The uncertainty consumes energy,” he said. “I threw myself, then you don’t want him to choose someone else.”
But by then the die had already been cast. “I already half know what’s going to happen. After all, there was a kiss and a hug,” said Branko, who, like Robbe, was not really looking forward to the moment of choice. After all, Joffrey was a great guy and he had to be deeply disappointed. “I often got out of bed and went for a walk. I have been worrying a lot,” Robbe sighed. “You know he’s going to get hurt and you run all the scenarios of how he’s going to react. But it felt right with Branko. That kiss was a release for both of us. This is the man I want to build a future with. He also indicated that.”

Customs officers dismantled a drug smuggling network – eight Vilnius residents were arrested, shipments of drugs were intercepted
During the investigation led by the Vilnius District Prosecutor’s Office, eight residents of the capital were arrested, dozens of searches were conducted, and 35 shipments with more than 34 kg of drugs – cannabis and cocaine – were seized.
Drugs were mainly distributed in Vilnius, and several groups of individuals were operating, coordinating their actions with each other.
Authorities say they have encountered a new generation of criminals who treat their actions as a business, but not as a very serious crime. For drug smuggling in large quantities, suspects face imprisonment from 10 to 18 years.
This research was started back in 2023. in May, when MKT Narcotics Control Division officers recorded a sudden increase in drug smuggling shipments from the United States. In previous years, the amount of postal shipments with drugs from this region was insignificant (counted in units), and last year it already made up a larger part – 40 percent. of all shipments.
In response to the situation, the MKT officers launched an investigation, during which they exposed a netwo
