When I watched "Love Death Robot" S1, I liked the episode of "Yogurt", which and "Yogurt" have slight similarities in their intentions, except that the short film "Yogurt" is hindered by the length of the time, and the movie "Don't Look Up" let go of itself.
If you don't try to understand today's American social contradictions, you may not get the memes in the film, and a lot of irony and "connotation" of the straight ball will make you feel inexplicable, but I think that everyone should have some understanding of the "magical reality" of the United States in recent years.
In fact, Hollywood comet hit the earth disaster film everyone has watched a lot, the same 98 years of the release of "Heaven and Earth Collision" and "Peerless Heaven" is the benchmark, they are not only excellent popcorn movies, but also the traditional American main theme film, through heroism and the U.S. imperialism to master the core technology of the screenwriting thinking, manifested in how the Americans under the star-spangled flag to save the earth.
At that time, the United States was under the clinton administration, not only had no foreign debt, but also led the world's "third scientific and technological revolution" with the semiconductor industry as the mainstay, but more than 20 years later, American society has undergone tremendous changes.
"Don't Look Up" is more clever, using a variety of major characters to represent all social classes in the United States, from his/her journey and transformation, reflecting the "spectrum" of contradictions in all aspects of American society.
Basically you can see in the film about the European and American new crown virus lying flat propaganda text, Japan's nuclear pollution treatment "emergency response" and a series of strange operations, although the intention of the film may collide with the new crown virus in Europe and the United States, but the original intention of the film is aimed at the social chaos caused by american identity politics, and the chaos can be amplified by modern social media to what extent, after all, 0 yuan purchase occurs frequently in many places in the United States.
In front of the public nervous and anxious and not good at words, the slightly dull professor, because he is handsome enough, is gradually packaged as a national idol of middle-aged and elderly women, not only to find a "second spring", but even to the point that anti-anxiety drugs can be stopped.
Ordinary family, there is no possibility of going out of the ordinary, he is gradually "corroded" by the D.C circle of sound dogs and horses, if it is not the mean curse of the capitalists, will he change back to the original professor?
The white house chief of staff of the inbreed giant baby, who openly calls his supporters the low-level people, is full of disdain for scientific researchers, who not only has no administrative ability, but is even a very vulgar person, and has repeatedly ridiculed the female scholar played by the eldest cousin, whose performance is quite excited and neurotic when he has just taken drugs.
The female president is basically copying President Trump, she has her autobiography in the oval office, and she is also a good seller of anxiety and hatred, all administrative decisions must follow the election, I promise to the capital boss, I strike hard at the general public, use the state apparatus to suppress the doubts and fears of the whole people about the comet hitting the earth, and its "DONT LOOK UP" icon and slogan are really the same as THE BIGA.
The NASA "leader" who came out of the political and business revolving door of the White House is an anesthesiologist who buys officials by political donations, and when the president's reputation encounters a crisis, he is used as a rag without hesitation to abandon it and send it to the relevant company as an unreliable project director, as to why he chose Asians to star...
Among the characters that can be described as bizarre and eccentric, the most attractive to me are 2 people, the US imperialist general and the technology chaebol B.
First of all, the US imperialist general, this person has the shortest appearance time and the fewest shots, but he is 1/4 of the film's "best funny person in the whole scene"
He represents the Pentagon, and even if he represents the US military system in the film, as a military general, he naturally has to pluck the hair.
Fooling three scientists into "paying" for free things, not even finding change, is also a balance for a day of being tossed around.
As for his excuse at night to suppress the local people in Okinawa, he not only ridiculed the US military base in Japan being protested by the Japanese people, but the ghost knew whether he had set a private off-duty alarm clock.
And the chaebol B played by the acting school boss Mark Relais really played a dick who is rich enough to be unknowingly good, and the most intuitive feeling is that chaebol B is an empty-eyed and arrogant person.
He never looks into the eyes of others when he speaks, when he only stares at the eyes of scientists in the whole film, his eyes are full of disdain, hatred, threat and a trace of "pity", he speaks with a sense of charity, and in public he is full of professional words that are high-end and need to look up the dictionary, in fact, he is also selling an anxiety, and in the blink of an eye, he is extremely self-conscious, calling the president like a dog.
I believe that capitalists like B, who are very numerous in the real world, really regard themselves as supreme beings, and will not think of anyone else for their own sake.
When a capital-controlled government like Chaebol B abandons the entire planet for "its own safety and survival," the contradictions of the entire film are radically intensified.
And in the second half of the film, it is also implied that the United States secretly undermined the efforts of China, Russia and India to deflect the comet, of course, you can say that this is not a hint, it is to say that Chinese and Russian technology is not good, just be happy.
So has the whole film given a solution, of course, it can't be given, the earth is going to be gone, and there is a kung fu revolution?
When mankind is really facing the despair of annihilation, some people run away, some people indulge, some people kill themselves, some people return to religion, obviously, the creators finally returned to the traditional Christian methodology, since they can not be born, they can only seek to ascend to heaven after death to enjoy happiness, after all, it is a spiritual sustenance.
Of course, rich people have PLAN B, and the spaceships that immigrate to other planets are either rich or expensive, but the funny thing is that they are all a bunch of old men, old ladies or middle-aged people, and they are rich, but there is no martial virtue!
Whether they came to the Garden of Eden or Hell is another story, presumably depending on whether they can speak bird language.
In addition to these, there are many stems in the film, I will not state them one by one, or it is more recommended to watch, probably a part of the United States people have watched the work of breaking the defense, and our people have watched the work of decompression.
PS. The film also ridiculed Indian netizens, after all, they often leave messages on FB and YouTube: Why does the United States not look for India to help.
