Despite me having watched no TV for nearly two years I watched this movie on Netflix over Xmas.\u00a0 I enjoyed it even though it was utterly ridiculous\u00a0 and more of a comedy spoof rather than a disaster movie.\u00a0\u00a0 Spoiler alert<\/strong> – here follow my thoughts on the movie which I regard as a type of parable or social commentary.<\/p>\n The plot has a giant planet killer asteroid heading towards earth and suddenly discovered at an observatory. It follows the adventures of the Professor and the PhD student trying to warn the world about the incoming disaster.\u00a0 Eventually they get a slot on a highly rated morning news show and even get to brief the female President.\u00a0\u00a0 The media is exposed as morally corrupt and compromised as is the President.\u00a0 A mission to vaporize the asteroid with nukes is cancelled because a billionaire wants to disintegrate the rock and mine the pieces that fall into the sea because they contain trillions of precious metals.\u00a0 The freakish billionaire controls his drones with AI and has thousands of data points on everyone and his algorithms allow him to predict future human behavior (sounds familiar).\u00a0\u00a0 The media are instructed to counter the we are all going to die<\/em> message with positive propaganda (jobs and prosperity for everyone) and to instruct people Don’t look up<\/em> otherwise they will see the approaching comet and become afraid.\u00a0\u00a0 The billionaire mission fails…people go nuts….the earth is hit. The end.<\/p>\n Despite the absurdities I enjoyed it even though it had the opposite message to what they intended.\u00a0 The film is trying to say that you are being manipulated….the earth is getting warmer etc…..the climate deniers represent vested interests.\u00a0 They don’t want you to look at the data (or something like that).\u00a0 I believe DiCaprio was a Young Global leader or at least part of the in-group Davos set.\u00a0 He certainly supports the Greta agenda while jetting everywhere and living in his mansions.<\/p>\n However, the movie is true if you turn it on it’s head.\u00a0 They are gaslighting us and manipulating us about climate change and about the virus. The billionaires do want to control\u00a0 us and the politicians are venal and corrupt.<\/p>\nDON’T LOOK UP | Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence | Official Trailer | Netflix (3 min)<\/h2>\n
