DON'T LOOK UP REVIEW

An incredible cast but a movie with mixed feelings.On one hand i thought it was a good film but not excelent, the budget was enormous and to make it into a parody was a great but bold choice.


It parodyes our negligence. Like the parable of the climate crisis, it was praised by activists. The film at the end of Adam McKay's world is an "unforgettable" portrayal of social reaction to scientific warnings, activists say. The film, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, is a deliberate parable of the climate crisis, a satire in which two scientists try to warn an indifferent world of a comet that could destroy a planet. Despite the outstanding cast with


Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Mark Rylance, Jonah Hill and Timothée Chalamet, the film has been chilled by many film critics, including this imprint. I did.


However, the lukewarm critical acceptance is in contrast to the reaction of the film's allegorical heroes, climate scientists and activists.


The cast led by Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio most praises the wonderful work done in every scene. Also, a widespread crisis in the current world situation, especially after a two-year pandemic.


"You can't look up too much and the stray thorns can land forever, but Adam McKay's star-studded satire achieves the goal of collective denial," critics consensus. However, critics seem to be basically quite divided. After all, the film received six nominations at the Critics' Choice Awards, including the Best Film Award. Despite various reactions, it has been nominated as one of Oscar's favorites.


It obviously follows McKay's style and the cast was impecable even though i would have made the film shorter and turned it into more of a parody, the screenplay was a little off a times. In the great science fiction tradition, Don't Look Up uses the disaster movie framework as a metaphor for reality-based disasters, with giant comets rushing towards Earth instead of indifference to climate change. However, this star-studded, highly provocative satire can sometimes go off course in itself and sometimes undermine its fine quality in its tone width.

Writer Adam McKay (who wrote the script with journalist / activist David Shirota) has published a very keen dissertation on the current state of political and media dysfunction. Things can focus on danger. The title reflects its inevitable end point, with the approach of digging its head in the sand to witness the imminent ruin. This window to absurdity comes during the astronomy professor Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his dissertation. Student Kate Diviaski (Jennifer Lawrence) discovered the comet. The orbit of this comet will lead to a direct collision with the Earth in just six months. Not surprisingly, her findings will soon reach the White House. At the White House, the president (Meryl Streep, dissatisfied with the ridiculousness of her personality) is obsessed with the endangered Supreme Court elections, and Randall becomes an extinct-level event. I can't focus on what I called. After failing back and forth, she came to the conclusion that they "stuck and measured" the situation. From there, "Don't Look Up" comes from the Happy Talk newscast, especially fixed by Tyler Perry and Cate Blanchett, who emphasize themselves as selfish television moderators, on traffic and social media. I'm busy with the meme. McKay and Shirota make a spot-on attack on how easy it is for people (especially the media) to distract by sticking to Kate's hair and clothes and ignoring the content of the message.

However, an attempt to emphasize this is to become the White House Chief of Staff from Technology Billionaire (assuming Mark Rylance is out of the accent of this world), who is finding opportunities to harness the comet's natural resources. Up to, it is going wild in various directions. Hill) Those who see the threat just by how it can affect midterm elections. Still, "Don't Look Up" continues to be distracted, thanks to the accumulation of celebrities in supporting roles (for example, drinking for strength and action. DiCaprio (documentary "Ice Fire" for climate change activities). (Contains the creation of) and Lawrence are both very good, but many of the other bold names basically act as flashy and somewhat unnecessary window dressings. McKay's "Big Shorts" "And" Vice "are the most obvious precursors to dealing with a large, dark and climatic institution, but the movie owes it to also be" Dr. Strangelab "and higher on his net (actually). Throw with a stake (the highest). The title certainly does a lot of hard work and captures the general reaction to inconvenient news. As clearly intended, "Do n't Look Up" uses satire to stimulate conversations about the possibility of ignoring the crisis until it's too late. It's a simple message, but it's a message that is transmitted through the lens of an uneven film.
