WAR MACHINE FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
WAR MACHINE is a satirical war film that showcases the complexities of modern warfare through a unique lens. Directed by David Michôd and released on Netflix, the movie is inspired by the book The Operators by Michael Hastings. It features a star-studded cast led by the renowned actor Brad Pitt, who takes on the challenging role of General Glen McMahon.
In WAR MACHINE, Pitt's character is portrayed as an ambitious and somewhat arrogant military leader tasked with overseeing the NATO forces in Afghanistan. His mission is to bring about a quick end to the war, but the film delves deep into the absurdities and challenges of military strategy and the human cost of war. As McMahon attempts to implement his vision, he encounters various obstacles, including political bureaucracy, media scrutiny, and the moral dilemmas faced by soldiers on the ground.
The film adopts a darkly comic tone as it critiques not only the military operations but also the larger political landscape surrounding the conflict. It illustrates how the glorification of war can be derailed by the realities of geopolitical complexities. Moreover, it spotlights the disconnect between those making decisions at high levels and the soldiers who are sent into battle.
Throughout the film, viewers witness moments of introspection and humor intertwined with serious themes, providing a nuanced portrayal of a general who is out of touch with the very realities of the war he is waging. Brad Pitt’s performance has been praised for capturing the essence of a man driven by ideals yet hindered by his own limitations and the chaotic environment around him.
In addition to Pitt, WAR MACHINE features a talented ensemble cast that includes:
Anthony Michael Hall as General L. David O. Smith
Topher Grace as the disgruntled journalist, based on Hastings himself
Ben Kingsley in a key supporting role
Consuelo Koss, and others contributing to the depth of the narrative
The film not only highlights the absurdity of war but also serves as a reflection on the media's role in shaping public perception of military actions. The portrayal of the complex interplay between military objectives and media representation raises important questions about truth, propaganda, and accountability.
With its engaging storytelling and powerful performances, WAR MACHINE invites audiences to reflect on the longstanding issues associated with war and the impact it has on all involved. It challenges viewers to consider the price of victory and the true cost of conflict, all while providing an entertaining cinematic experience.

For Blu-Ray Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
