Disunited we fail: Are we literally headed toward sea-to-sea in-fighting?

The four journalists covering America’s collapse don’t editorialize but conscientiously document its demise.

Instead, he leaves it to the viewer to fill in the blanks. And the movie is chock-full of blanks, though when limitless firearms repeatedly go off, there’s no doubt that they’re altogether capable of indiscriminately killing people—and totally innocent civilians at that. In this apocalyptic universe, arch-ideological antagonists, Texas and California, having seceded from the union, join forces against a terrifying, self-destructive government. Still, these documentors of history in the making all too often find it impossible to be certain about who the patriots and rebels really are—particularly as the different sides are outfitted, ironically, with the same U.S. army fatigues.

Doubtless, the crew is emotionally detached from their work, and they seem implicitly to grasp that it’s a prerequisite for professional cogency. True, to concentrate wholly on what’s external to their personal values might seem almost inhuman. But this is an essential dimension of Garland’s consciousness about their meticulously standing watch over events as they unfold.

When Jessie, her innocent protege, inquires as to what she’d do if she saw Jessie dying, she responds almost robotically, “What do you think?” clearly indicating she’d take a shot of her. But at the film’s climax, while Jessie has taught herself how to emulate her role model’s aberrant stoicism, Lee herself is experiencingpsychologically convincing, for though she’s managed to exile her fears, they’re not gone, lurking just behind her resolutely hard-nosed exterior.
