Left the movie after first time watching, initially, a little disappointed. Couldn’t let go of the story, turned it this way and that in my mind, finally realizing i couldn’t put the pieces together. Too many moving parts. Overload! What just happened?
I was stone cold sober the first time I watched. About an hour before nestling in to re-watch the Civil War, I consumed two “cherry bomb” gummies. As the haze set in, I began to see things in the CW that I had missed, saw so much I think I must have fallen asleep the first time. The first watch was fission, the second, fusion.
Re-watching this movie, in a slightly altered state, in a wide-screen theater, with colossal sound, was one of, if not the most, powerfully cinematic experiences of my life.
