Pandemic,wars,conflicts,poverty….it’s crystal clear that we are not living in a perfect society.In fact,in my view,we are living,ever more,in a sad and disturbing World.It is true that there are pleasing situations which make us living charming moments,and we try to enjoy deeply.Yet,it is difficult to not look about the situations that affects us.It appears that governments want to change our world,nevertheless there is a fine line between what is said and what really done.From my point of they don’t never look up.
‘Don’t look up’ is an American black-comedy film directed,produced and written by Adam McKay 2021.Needless to say that its reclaims is its amazing and strong cast,which involves with Leonardo DiCaprio,Jennifer Lawrence,Meryl Streep,Rob Morgan,Cate Blanchett,Johan Hill among others,although I must make clear that DiCaprio had several rifts with Mckay but finally he diced to join it.Firstly,this film was created to Paramount Picture but finally it was sold to Netflix in 2019.It is fair to point out that this satirical film and vindicatory received mixed reviews,some of them comment that it is controversial and heavy-handle.Yet,some scientist and the Neflix viewers believe that it is a positive and useful plot to take into account.As a final curiosity,Cate Blanchett has just received the first Goya International for her prestigious career.
Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence ) is a prestigious astronomer.During a project,she discovers an approaching comet which could destroy our planet.The probability is too high and she talks about it with her professor,Dr.Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and he confirms one hundred percent this chaotic phenomenon.In a due time,they travel to the White House in order to inform about this dramatic situation.Yet,to their surprise,they don’t receive any type of concern from the President (Meryl Steeep).As a consequence of her disregard,they decide to boost this future issue from the media,however the apathy and the way of handling the topic make Kate and Dr.Randall get really angry but with less inclined to struggle.The satire of government,political,celebrity and media show us the real world we are living,without realising that this current world will end up having far-reaching effects.
To my mind,this movie not only tells this chaotic feeling perfectly,but also conveys the message that not everything has to be bright and shinning or sarcastic.Sometimes we just have to tell the story directly instead of making up new/fake scenario to make points……We really did have everything,didn’t we? I mean,when you think about it.
….and please STOP WAR
