Well-intentioned but too stilted & earnest

Ironically, MAGA movies are the sentimental snowflakes of cinema.

Surprisingly Strong Anti-War Film

In the bonus track of the DVD of "Indivisible," the film artists described two major goals for their film: (1) to dramatize the role that chaplains play in the military and (2) the impact of war on the families at home. As the film project was in the making for six years, it is commendable that the filmmakers met their objectives.At the same time, there was perhaps a byproduct of this film that was unintentional: a strong anti-war sentiment. It has now been two decades of America fighting senseless foreign wars. This film shows the utter futility of attacks on little towns, civilian casualties, and the devastating effects on the home front of vets returning with PSTD. One of the most unforgettable sequences in the film is that of Chaplain Turner returning home and just sitting and staring off into space as he shuts out his family members from his life.While on the surface, there was the intent to show how "the armor of God" protects and heals those traumatized by the war experience, the broader scope of the film approached that of such famous Greek tragedies as Euripides' "The Trojan Women" as an anti-war experience. A little girl in Iraq dies. A twenty-one year old soldier perishes in a surprise attack. The neighbor of the chaplain loses a leg. The chaplain himself returns home, takes leave of the military, and assumes a job in a nursery working for "Digger O'Dell." These are all expressions of the insanity of costly and futile wars.The historical context of "Indivisible" was the decision for a "troop surge" for Baghdad in 2007 during the administration of George W. Bush, which began the war in Iraq. From Fort Stewart in Georgia, a number of recruits are called up for service, and Chaplain Turner accompanies them to Iraq. The utter futility of the combat that ensues was earnestly depicted in a film that raises consciousness about the complete lack of nobility associated with America's tragic foreign entanglements.
