If it doesn’t get votes, it’s best not to talk about it. If it does not make an audience, it is better to change the subject. If you don’t get money and lots of it, it doesn’t matter. And this is the complaint that comes from Don’t look up (Don’t look up or don’t look up), a tragicomic film streaming on Netflix and distributed in some cinemas, which has already become a cult and deserves to be watched. It is not a cinematic masterpiece, this is good to say, even if it will win many awards.
Don’t look up has managed to involve a stellar cast to create a real manifesto for the fight against climate change and an indictment against the stupidity of human beings, against the selfishness of politics and the economy. Information is also targeted by the film’s satire. Don’t look up deliberately uses the language of the absurd. It uses the way of making satire present in many “viral” videos on the Internet and in social networks to turn up the volume on an emergency that none of us can pretend not to see or understand.
We all know that the Covid 19 Pandemic, in this historical moment, is the greatest of evils, how to disagree on this point
but climate change is the absolute problem, as the consequences of a concrete fight for the reduction of emissions and for the protection of biodiversity could have even more tragic effects: there is a risk of ending the life of all living species on Earth . Don’t look up, the plot
Astronomy graduate student Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and Professor Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make an extraordinary discovery: a comet orbiting within the solar system. The first problem is that it is on a collision course with the Earth. And the other
The thing does not seem to interest anyone. Apparently, alerting humanity to a threat the size of Mount Everest is an awkward event to deal with.
With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall set out on a media tour that takes them from the office of the indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and his servile son as well as cabinet chief Jason (Jonah Hill), to The Daily Rip station, a lively morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). Six months after the comet’s impact, continually managing the news and grabbing the attention of the social media obsessed public before it’s too late turns out to be an incredibly comic undertaking. What will drive the whole world to take an interest in the end of the world. DON’T LOOK UP is written and directed by Academy Award winner Adam McKay and also stars Mark Rylance, Ron Perlman, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi), Himesh Patel,Don’t look up, the Trailer Don’t look up points the finger at nullity
The Don’t look up asteroid seems to represent the emergence of the dramatic climate changes taking place and the generalized indifference that we are all showing in recent years. An indifference that unfortunately goes hand in hand with the stupidity of human beings. Between clicking and liking the attention from the really important topics seems to continually shift towards an infinite nothing. Triviality seems to take over with regard to the generalized choice that seems to prefer continuous stupidity to topics of effective general interest. The private life of the Influencers and the wide-ranging gossip seem to get more consensus and the preferences of the public, with respect to the protection and safeguarding of the future of the Planet and of all living species.
The media and social networks seem “addicted” to nullity. The generalist and thematic television channels push their productions on a huge proposal of reality and talent, many of these of dubious quality. We are still trying to find out why we insist on producing programs that define themselves as successful, but which fail to give anything to the public, if not always and continuously nothing. Talk shows and opinion programs seem to have turned into a huge Colosseum, where blood, battle, and clash are the common threads to claim the public. To the question “why do we continue to propose this type of broadcasting
, the answer is” The public wants this “. But it is really true .
We are sure
. In our opinion, no.Don’t look up, our asteroid and ignorance
For years we have been working on cultural themes and arguments, because in Italy culture is the problem. Our asteroid and ignorance. This generates and supports corruption, illegality, lack of civic sense, lack of protection of a territorial and artistic heritage that could guarantee true well-being for the entire Italian population and for future generations. But, smartphones and giga interest and are more interesting than books and art. It is possible
in our opinion not. Don’t look up helps us to support our mission: to do everything to spread culture and fight stupidity and, above all, ignorance.
I will be found
