Don’t Look Up is a brilliant film. It portrays, perfectly, the current corrupt, ridiculous, and absolutely nonsensical reality we have allowed our world to become; a world where facts are no longer facts. Where scientists & experts are cast aside in favor of the millionaires, billionaires and the powerful. Where politicians choose to be beholden to their almighty donors, rather than their constituents. And where MSM, social media and algorithms (leading to rabbit holes of misinformation) have led voters to elect the most incompetent people to positions of power.
Do not mistake this satirical film as just another Apocalyptic “end of the world” movie, or simply a comedy; Don’t Look Up has much deeper messages, holding a mirror up to what we’ve let our “Franken-society” become, and is terrifying in doing so. This movie is a must watch for anyone wondering “how the hell did we get here? And what can we do to fix it?”
My main thought after viewing: Satire, or reality?
