Netflix's new movie Don't Look Up
- Thread starter Insane Metal
- Start date
Netflix has that Goodbye 2021 show with Hugh Grant. In the trailer at least I can't tell if it is mocking wokism or embracing it. Anyone know?
The Hunt (2020) with Hillary Swank, Betty Gilpin, and Emma Roberts is like that.
It's a B-ish movie with a hilarious twist and you can definitely see the politics involved.
Great fight scene at the end too.
I've seen both 2020 and the better 2021 version. They're in the middle and never misses an opportunity to mock so they target both sides. I don't think they ever miss a beat to mock Joe Biden.
They have the old right-wing British guy (Hugh Grant), the white trump supporting mom, the left wing tech billionaires, the left wing millennial YouTuber who "cares", the scientist who nobody listens to.
I found that satire to be better than Don't Look Up personally.

I hate the whole woke thing but I enjoyed this movie.

Those of you who didn't like the movie, do you find the GEICO commercials funny? Just curious

It's probably the fact it had to be so OTT and blatant to get through to stupid people that I have an issue with

They used to, PCU was awesome but for some reason they make it nearly impossible to get your hands on.

I just finished the film last night and I must say it is frightening how much it reflects today's society. I hope this film just gives everyone some self awareness and realization of the world we're living in.

It's not a film, it's a documentary.
It documents reality and how people, societies, politicians, decision-makers, and governments will react should there ever be a comet/asteroid heading towards Earth on a collision course.

It has taken on new meaning with the looming possibility of nuclear war.
Think I am going to rewatch this and '13 days' as a good horror double bill.

"Dad is old".
I literally make everyone stop talking and point at the TV when that commercial comes up. It's my way of making the world just a little bit brighter. I'm no hero.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

This movie mocks the left and the right. Not sure how some can't see that.

The way it should always be.
