Kirsten Dunst’s final scene as photojournalist Lee Smith in Civil War is one of the film’s biggest surprises, but she spent her entire character arc building to that moment. Alex Garland’s Civil War has quickly become one of the most talked-about movies of the year. Thanks to its inherently polarizing premise of a modern-day American Civil War and its curiously ambiguous political stance, it opens itself up to a wide range of discussions. And it’s not just the political elements that deserve a deep dive; the characters all go on complex personal journeys that are open to interpretation.
