Don't Look Up (2021)
10/10
An excellent memento of a politically and socially dark period in human history
25 December 2021
This movie may look fun but it is actually extremely sad. It successfully targets and demonstrates the public ignorance and incuriosity on the one hand and systematic corruption among the politicians and the super-rich on the other. Imagine a condition where even the destruction of the whole planet and the extinction of all life on it is not enough for some people to put an end to their destructive acts. Looks familiar? Well, this is what this movie is about.

It is surely one of the best movies that explains the problem in that matter. The movie is mainly focuses on explaining the problem and does not explain the causes or solutions. This is a good thing I think because otherwise it would be too much to handle in a featured film. It gives some hints in very short scenes though. For example, we can see the corruption among the successors of previous generations who have been honest and hardworking people in one scene. Also, The movie shortly explains the difficulties that hardworking and talented people of current generation are faced to only if they are not belonged to a small percentage of wealthy families.

This movie however is particularly targeting the republicans and former president of the US. It explains the anti-science movements among their fans. Simply, replace the comet with the Covid-19 virus and you will find the other elements and characters easily. So, of course there are some people both among the critics and in the public who show this movie the bad face only because it has done the same to their interest or political believes.

Therefore, I suggest you ignore negative expressions and watch and enjoy this masterpiece. Especially if you have been annoyingly bothered by anti-science people and corrupted politicians and the super-rich, this movie is for you. I, for one, appreciate the effort, courage and talent that has been used to make this brilliant movie. The acting is superb, story telling is brilliant and the directing is excellent. Thanks again for bringing this to us.
