Thoughts: Phew, a lot of big thoughts. I find myself rolling back through the scenes, from the ending, piece by piece, unpacking the scenes.
The president's final quote: please don't kill me. Just prior, so many innocents killed, killing, waste after waste. Standing for what?
It is a very American war. Uniquely American. Fed by and portraying strange thought processes and standards, ways of living. There is no mention of God, no religious bent or undertone, aside from the god of Capitalism. Possession and ownership, who you are and how you identify in this fractured nation.
I noticed Jesse Plemons is uncredited as the patriot mass grave soldier. Interesting.
The film is a Devs reunion, with Cailee Spaeny, Sonoya Mizuno, Nick Offerman, Jin Ha, Stephen McKinley Henderson. Karl Glusman..... after doing my due diligence I just realized how many there are. So many. Way more than I realized. I have chills right now. I've almost finished a Devs rewatch.
