So, I was digging into this “Civil War” movie, right? And this dude, Damson Idris, caught my eye. I’m like, who’s this guy? Turns out, he’s a pretty big deal, especially in that “Snowfall” show. I’m not really into crime dramas, but still, it got me curious.
Getting Started
First off, I went down the usual rabbit hole, you know, Googling his name and all that. Found out he was born on September 2, 1991. He’s a Nigerian-English actor, which is pretty cool. I saw some snippets about him being in some plays and stuff, but nothing really detailed about his connection to “Civil War.”
Deep Dive into Idris’s Career
Then, I started looking into his early career. It seems like he got a break after meeting this actress, Cathy Tyson, at Brunel University. She pushed him to meet Ade Solanke, and he ended up in this play called “Pandora’s Box.” Sounds interesting, though I’ve never heard of it. From there, he got an agent and started doing more theater work. He even trained at the Identity School of Acting, which apparently was founded by some guy named Femi Oguns. He did some work at the Royal National Theatre in London, which sounds pretty legit. But still, nothing really connected him to this “Civil War” flick.
Connecting the Dots (or Trying To)
Now, about this “Civil War” movie. I watched some clips and the plot is totally made up. The director, whose name escapes me, said it’s not supposed to be like real life or anything. And they don’t really explain why the war even started, it’s all very hush-hush. There’s this scene where a character named Lee gets shot, and another character, Jessie, is taking pictures. It’s all artsy and sad, with the camera clicks replacing the sound of bullets. I guess Jessie’s been photographing Lee throughout the movie, and this is like the final, depressing picture in the series.
My Thoughts on the Film
Honestly, the whole movie felt kind of empty. It tries to make a statement about how messed up American politics can be, but it doesn’t really say much. It just uses this fake war as an excuse to show a bunch of dramatic scenes. I mean, I guess a good movie about this topic could be made, but this wasn’t it, in my opinion.
Final Thoughts on Idris and “Civil War”
So, yeah, that’s my take on it. I went in looking for info on Damson Idris and his role in “Civil War,” and I ended up learning a bit about his career, but not much about his connection to the movie specifically, because he’s not actually in it. The movie itself? Meh. It’s got some cool visuals, but the story didn’t really do it for me. It’s one of those movies you watch and then forget about, I guess. Or maybe I just don’t get it. Anyway, that’s my two cents.
