what was this movie really about
Don't trust anyone but math, but especiially don't trust sleazy looking IT CEOs who sound like Steve Jobs with a stutter.
do trust gates and the wef however
dont trust bill gates
This guy did nothing wrong. He wasn't even a villain.
bad bait
He stopped them nuking the asteroid at the last second because there was a chance to make money from it's raw materials.
Liberals being snarky and preachy while being alarmist about a fricking nothingburger.
These kinds of bullshit articles have been coming out for years and continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Oh no, it get's hot in the summer!
Actually the movie has been proven right by the Murdoch media's coverage of the heat wave. They went out of their way to dismiss it then suddenly took it seriously when houses near the media and political elite started burning.
Its literally a two-hour "I AM SILLY!!!!!"-comic written by fat soi-boys in a doomsday cult.
Muh climate change with the comet as an allegory for it.
it's a satire about the dysfunction of modern society.
people running towards a zombie horde while screaming "ZOMBIES ARE A homosexual HOAX", but preachy and gay instead of funny and camp
Or it was you know, a movie that at best could be described as a series of sketches with a unifying premise that is a clunky self-contradicting metaphor
I really enjoy being lectured by people who have 10000 times more money and a 100000 times bigger carbon footprint than i could
Dream of you
Know private jets and cars
How can people be so out of touch? It’s just peak hutzpah
DiCaprio is going to lecture the prolls while of course he flies private
Have you seen Joe Rogan's podcast lately? He's a case study on how going from "frick you" money to "FRICK YOU" money can will somebody in the head. Dude's become more and more delusional and out of touch with reality in recent years and completely lost the plot after getting that Spotify cheque. Having excessive wealth fricks people in the head.
I still watch rogan from time to time (on youtube kek) and haven't noticed any difference, but I've never really liked him. What has he said thats been out of touch? Link?
He's less and less capable of critical thinking, more and more goes into every conversation with his own agenda.
Thats been his main criticism for years, even guests talk about that. He gets railroaded into his way of thinking about something and will aggresively ask questions but wont change his viewpoint until they invevitably change subjects
also it was not biased enough against conservatives which is why the NYT said we need a second cut (to scapegoat right wingers).
Yes, just ignore that this message was delivered to you by mega wealthy media companies and mega wealthy actors.
If you're poor, you can't criticize because you're just jealous. If you're rich, you can't criticize because you're a hypocrite.
I think those in power just don't like to be criticized
It was pretty shoddily made tbh. It was obviously rushed, probably before dunking on Trump and his cabal got tired.
I still liked it though, was funny.
"Don't Look Up" will join the pantheon of"Idiocraty" and "Demolition Man". Just look at this shit, reality is as nuts as fiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00uGSlFBVDs
>"Idiocraty" and "Demolition Man
Both movies are KINO, dont look up is shit
I quite liked it.
It's refreshing, funny, cathartic, and very modern in a good way.
>It agreed with my juvenile beliefs
Yes, we know.
I don't really see it as propaganda one way or the other. Yes you can interpret it as climate change. You could also compare it to any other situation where people get so caught up in their beliefs to the point where they are blinded to reality. It's really more of an amusing commentary on the human mind and the state of contemporary internet-society.
Even the president is kind of a perfect mixture of the 2016 candidates, to the point where it seems well-balanced, almost to the point where it teases the audience to dare try to project their personal politics onto it.
With my last breath I curse you
this is true only up until the point where the title comes into play. from there the film has one side look up and another look down and it isn't subtle about which is which
True, that was a bit heavy handed and could have been cut.
i mean it's the titular conflict, and given mckay/sirota it was always going to be a film from the bernout perspective
i liked the movie but i think they were a bit too close to it which is always a disservice to comedy because it's hard to laugh about cancer after your mom died from it
idiocracy was mentioned earlier itt and even though judge obviously has his politics i think he's generally better at satire than mckay because he is more cognisant of this trap
you have to be political aware enough for you work to be sharp but not so invested that it just becomes a pulpit
Fair enough, though I felt like if done well that closeness can also feel refreshingly candid. As you say the bias can get in the way.
I also liked the way Don't Look Up has this "placeless" quality to it, where the physical locations of characters doesn't really matter much, and it almost occurs as a broad society-wide dialogue in the noosphere moreso than the events occurring across physical locations. That's something that's only really enabled with a very modern mindset and so the movie is kind of a bold venture into a new form of storytelling in my thinking. Something I hadn't seen before.
>but the fact that it saw distribution doesn't mean anything
>listen to a bunch of people with mega mansions and private planes lecture you about climate change
Frick you.
Totally agree. I'd rather listen to multinational billion dollar oil companies. Those people have my interest in mind.
big
Tobacco too, don't forget https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6B1q22R438
i just wish adam mckay could make something even half as good as the insider
>NOOOOOO IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THE HYPOCRITE UR A BOOTLICKER!!!!!
seething
Stay mad, moron. I hope you like your climate refugees. They'll come soon enough.
if only the earth is seething as hard as you are right now
there might actually be a climate change if it did.
>climate refugees
Not a real thing. Literally an excuse for you to dump more third world economic migrants into what were once good countries.
>Climate refugees
Haven't people been trying to illegally immigrate to the US west for decades now? The only difference is people are going to claim it's because of climate change and not because those people are from commie shithole countries.
You mean the ones YOU let into the country?
Holy shit, frick off. This is pathetic.
Say you get what you want and we get taxed up the fricking ass to appease you. We aren't even close to contributing the amount of damage India and China are, so what then?
September this year will have the worst crop yields reported in years. Climate change will be blamed, in reality it's high fertilizer prices because of the war in Ukraine. Oil isn't just used for the go juice but it's industries as varied as agriculture to medicine. Petrochemicals are in everything, our entire civilization is dependent on them.
if farmers in the West are sparring using them because of price, you can bet African farmers are not using them at all because of price
That means a 5 fold decrease in food production in Africa, a return to 1950 levels of production. Ah but the population sextupled since then.
Two of the top 5 wheat producers are basically offline, Ukraine definitely but Russia because no ships will transport.
fathom that for a moment. That's called famine on a continental scale.
they'll be called "climate" refugees when in fact it was the war in Ukraine and sanctions that will cause it.
prepare for millions of African refugees flooding into the West.
Multinational billion dollar oil companies openly shill for "climate change" on their own fricking websites.
>they spill billions of gallons of oil in the ocean and purposefully buried data of the effects of climate change for decades, but they have a green leaf on their website and say they care!
imagine being this much of an npc brainlet sheep
I kind of agree with this, and a lot of things that were meant to be humorous I couldn't laugh at because they were too close to home. However, it's sort of like a tarantino movie where you laugh despite the situation, or at least see irony/humor.
I don't think it was meant to be a laughfest anyway, it was meant to tell that story and the absurdity is naturally humorous, but may not make you actually laugh.
Burning fossil fuels is good for the environment moron.
>Those people have my interest in mind.
Yep, oil companies never lied to the public
i need more diesel for my compact excavator and my ute, incidentally this means they do have my interests in mind
Make sure you get all of Harvey's cum Jennifer
And make sure you say nothing about him and the other predator Hollywood executives
>If you're not on my side you're on THEIR side!!!!
Low iq.
No. It was a shitty movie. Read the reviews for a change.
>read the reviews
>not "watch the movie"
Cinemaphile in a nutshell
Maybe the movie was just ass.
>the 75m budget little indie netflix film with a star-studded cast co-written by bernie's speechwriter and directed by an academy darling was unfairly maligned by corporate power
the absolute state of internet leftism
decent flick though
The utter religious cult of fat soi-chuggers that has developed around this movie, despite it being such a transpastent and laughable piece of propaganda, is really disturbing.
I remember not watching this because gays here were saying it’s shit. Watched it recently and it was kino. Never listen to Cinemaphile since it’s full of corporate shills.
>call others corporate shills while watching a goyflix original
lmao
>He says while paying for internet and browsing Cinemaphile on his phone or computer
LMAO
Lol this.
Imagine watching Shitflix content and thinking you're "sticking" it to the man.
You know I actually hope climate change is real. I wish only pain and suffering for the new generations, I mean if zooms already suck this much imagine how annoying the future will be
unfathomably based
everything should go up in flames
You can't "expose" something through a caricature. If I draw a person with a big nose, it doesn't "expose" that you actually have one. I need a photograph to do that.
inb4 they claim the movie is right wing or nazis.
The movie didnt suck because it wasnt accurate, the movie sucked because it was horribly unfunny despite trying so hard to be. McKay hasnt been able to be funny for over a decade. A movie can be an accurate satire and still be a piece of shit.
I found the characters hopelessness hilarious, dunno why more people don't feel the same. There's a humor in trying your best, doing everything right and still failing.
But they are hopeless in the face of a single joke thats mildly funny the first time (when they first go to the whitehouse), and then its just that for the next 2 hours.
A satire doesn't need to be funny to be a good satire. humour is one of the weapons it has but it doesn't have to be. I thought the movie was good, but it didn't make me laugh.
That would be an argument if the movie wasnt desperately trying to be funny. Its like Thor Love and Thunder. A Marvel movie doesnt need to be funny to be good, and its not the fact that Love and Thunder isnt funny that makes it not good, its the fact that every single scene is swinging for a laugh and it misses 99/100 times.
I'm not sure they were trying to be funny. they were trying to ridicule and they were trying to make a point, and they achieved both. maybe some people found it funny for the ridiculousness of it all, but either way, it's not a valid criticism because it's not a comedy.
>they were trying to ridicule
I understand the tone. Its trying to do Network, down to the marriage drama and satire. The problem is Network is a million times smarter, better written, accurate, and most importantly FUNNY. DLU has so many stupid unfunny jokes that arent even accurate.
Like when the Trump supporters finally look up and say "heyy wait they are lying to us!" and start throwing shit at Jonah Hill. You know what would have been actually funny, and more accurate? If they saw the meteor and still didnt believe it, if they cheered the fake meteor right until it disintegrates their bodies. Dumb movie made by a hack that hasnt made a good movie since the first Anchorman.
>If they saw the meteor and still didnt believe it, if they cheered the fake meteor right until it disintegrates their bodies.
reading this I laughed but actually watching that play out would have been too pathetic. there's something satisfying seeing them realize they were duped without realizing how stupid they are, but it's too late regardless
I mean I guess thats what they were going for. Just from my point of view it felt like the movie was trying to be funny and missing opportunities left and right or just failing to land, and you cant really say it was for the sake of making a hard hitting satire because you "get" the gist of the satire near the beginning and it doesnt really go anywhere.
that's fair enough I see what you mean
I'm not watching this trash. Stop shoving it in my face, you goddamn climate alarmists. Just because it's not corporate propaganda doesn't mean I want to watch your propaganda instead. Frick right off.
It's interesting because I saw people interpreting the movie several ways too. I don't think the movie was bad and it seemed like a it would be a homerun for critics, but it came out at a time when they the media wanted people to see both them and the government as the ultimate authority on everything.
I just want to see a full cut of just the topless urgent care center. Something about hearing multiple white women moaning as they get slammed just revs me up.
The thing with this movie is it's incredibly dated.
You can tell it's referencing something like the Bush era and a time when the MSM went along with anti-science if it was politically convenient, it feels very odd and naive in this day and age of science worship
Now it just makes everyone mad and nobody can identify with the message anymore
>You can tell it's referencing something like the Bush era and a time when the MSM went along with anti-science if it was politically convenient, it feels very odd and naive in this day and age of science worship
The thing is, it still happens on Fox News and half the country listens to it. The joke is that despite impending disaster, half the country is in total denial about the problem. Which is exactly what's happening right now in regards to Russia, China, the energy crisis and the climate crisis. Everything is coming apart and most people are ignoring it.
but it doesn't
the movie doesn't even show fox news, but the whole media apparatus, political class, public opinion as being anti science, which in this day and age looks just bizarre
That's pretty much what happens, yes. How many liberal news outlets support nuclear power?
nucular power is not supported because sciencegays (ie di carpio in the movie) hate it, you are making no sense
most science people in fact do, you're revealing yourself to be the type of dip the movie is making fun of
>most science people in fact do
nope
No matter how hard you try the movie has basically no connection to real life, especially as an allegory for globular worming crisis
energy crisis alarmist bros, will nuclear power ever be given a second chance by legislators and be deregulated?
truly disgusting movie, i hope adam mckay dies slow
they actually hated it because it was co-written by bernie sanders' speechwriter who is an annoying dick to them on twitter
twitter drama informs like 90% of their agenda
