ipswich-2 Review of The Second Civil War

The Second Civil War (1997 TV Movie)

So what's the message here? Is this merely a spoof?

[5/10 · 21 April 2000]

I think you need to be an American to fully understand the satire at play here. This is a spoof of American politics, government and the hypocrisy of the news media. While Wag the Dog gave us a numbing account of how the media can shape public opinion, the Second Civil War only shows how inept the government and media organizations are. Isn't it frightening if the movie a portent to how political life will shape out in the future? I didn't find the movie funny in any way, nor is that any real message for us to learn.
