In Reply to: "Don't Look Up:" absolute best satire in years! Scorching posted by tinear on December 26, 2021 at 09:38:00:
"The biggest mistake that the new film, "Don't Look Up", makes is to bill itself as a comedy. It isn't really funny at all. Instead it is deadly serious and chilling as it accurately depicts how American society would react to a real, existential crisis.
First, such a crisis would be ignored in favor of celebrity news, then it would be scorned, science would be belittled, millions of people on social media would not believe it even when the establishment accepted it was true and then the corporate-controlled government would find a way to prevent mankind from being saved in favor of making a profit."
More. . .
(Comments are good too, such as "The movie critic for the Wall Street Journal complains that "Don't Look Up" portrays everyone as "nincompoops." I would say that that would make "Don't Look Up" a documentary.") LOL!
