"Civil War" is quite specifically about US: the "what kind of American are you" question asked by a paramilitary soldier who shoots foreigners, the inclusion of Charlottesville, a president serving the third term while the country is plagued by civil war; those quite obviously are Alex Garland's musings about how certain scenarios could become reality in contemporary USA. It is indeed worthwhile to look at how certain points there connect to countries and events of the past outside US. In this sense Bangladesh wouldn't have been the country coming to mind, rather places in Latin and South Americas. But it is somewhat comforting to know people resonate to the ideas and themes in "Civil War" anywhere in the world, this imo means there is still an understanding about what democracy and civil liberties are, and what those are not even if one's birthplace wouldn't exactly be a beacon of values associated with those.
Cailee Spaeny is also in the lead role in the new "Alien" movie, my review of it can be seen at https://hive.blog/hive-121744/@peerynt/movie-review-alien-romulus-2024
