Don't Look Up 2021

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Don’t Look Up’:

  1. Yeah, it was funny. But it was more scary and depressing, considering how it aligns way too closely with reality. And I know that was the point. They really did hit the nail on the head. This film is truly the black mirror of our country.

  2. The random quick-shots of real-world moments were powerful. Interlaced with all the insanity, it did a great job depicting how wondrous and wild our lives can be on this beautiful planet — and how much we take for granted.

  3. This was a great cast. Awesome to see the ever-talented Jennifer Lawrence again. Great performance from DiCaprio, which I’m sure was powered by his real-life passions. And I really do love Meryl in comedy. She’s so subtle and I’m here for it.

@tvwatcha3 our country? Really? Well it's not mine but it's almost cute to assume that only US Americans are on Trakt..the world :thinking:

@nescobar-a-lop-lop Holy negativity. I did not assume that only U.S. Americans are on Trakt (I follow people on here from Europe), but it’s adorable for you to assume that.

This film is blatantly based on, and a parody of, American figures and American politics. These were merely my thoughts from watching this film as an American, and I simply wrote as such, from that point of view. A stream of consciousness. I can’t speak on how comparable the film is to your country, but I promise I won’t scold or school you for your use of semantics when discussing it.

Happy New Year!
