Finally watched "Don't Look Up."
Definitely not a classic, but replete with irony that would likely be lost on a person not living thru the Trump administration.
That said, I am wondering about the Bash CEO character, Peter Isherwell. Is he supposed to be inspired by Elon Musk?
What say you, CoSo?
@BlueStateBabe @BlueStateBabe I thought it was commentary on our nature to want what we want, ignoring consequences (“never happen!”) in general because they’re inconvenient rather than a story pointing to one particular event or figure.
@Lena_Tasi @BlueStateBabe It can have a broader meaning if you like, sure.
That’s why it’s a good movie.
But first and foremost it’s satire directed at the covid deniers.
@Vonzales @BlueStateBabe Was that what was said in an interview? I must have missed it. Enjoyed it, either way, and think it’s better that it doesn’t try to be time- or topic-specific about the human folly it’s exploring. Since, well, it didn’t begin and won’t end with COVID.
