Middle-aged "little plum" Leonardo DiCaprio cheated on the "Big Devil" Kate Blanchett in marriage?
The "big cousin" Jennifer Lawrence, who was abandoned by the scumbag, and the "sweet tea" Timothy Chalmed fell in love seamlessly?
What can form this kind of immortal CP is, of course, the Netflix full of "banknote ability".
Since it is produced by Netflix, of course, it dares to shoot anything.
The U.S. female president sends her intimate photograph to the Supreme Court nominee, who not only has no law degree, but is also a human model and follows the code of conduct of "shoot first, ask questions later"; the director of the National Space Agency is an anesthesiologist and knows nothing about astronomy; even the president's son, who is also the chief of staff of the White House, is an addict who only cares about the midterm elections...
What's more: a comet with power equivalent to a billion atomic bombs of Hiroshima will hit Earth in 60 days...
But the future of the earth is in the hands of this group of people who are too absurd to be absurd.
In the final month of 2021, Netflix brought this sincere and ironic black humor comedy.
The origin of this absurd story: Kate (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy graduate student at Michigan State University, and her professor Dr. Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) observe that a comet will hit Earth 6 months later.
Kate and Mindy immediately informed NASA of the amazing news, and at the invitation of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan) of the Office of Planetary Coordinated Defense, they went to the White House to report the "extermination-level event" to the president in person. While waiting for the president's summons, they found that social media was full of discussions about the breakup of popular stars, and no one cared about this shocking news. They wait a long day to finally meet President Orrin (Meryl Streep), but instead of attracting her attention, they are ridiculed by the president and her son Jason (Jonah Hill).
Failing to get the president's attention and running into a wall with Peter Isherwell (Mark Reirance), the chief consul of the tech giant Bash and the third richest man in history, Kate and Mindy, who are still unwilling to give up hope, overcome the discomfort of facing the media and try to reveal this truth through a popular variety show in the United States.
Their shocking news was not taken seriously by the program team, but was arranged to play at the end. When the two finally get a chance to talk about it in public, their serious topic is seen as a joke by hosts Brie (Kate Blanchett) and Jack (Taylor Perry).
In the face of the host's laughter, Kate, who is suffering from mental pressure, has a big explosion, denouncing people's numbness and inaction at the camera. Her hysteria not only failed to awaken the masses that entertained to death, but was also regarded as a madman, and was ruthlessly abandoned by her boyfriend at the same time as being attacked by the Internet. However, Mindy's witty and interesting interaction with the host was greatly welcomed by the audience and became a new Internet celebrity.
Ironically, the turning point came when President Orrin was revealed by the media to send indecent photos to the Supreme Court nominee.
In order to reverse the decline in the midterm elections, the president decided to raise his support by resolving the "comet incident". So she approached Kate and Brie, invited them to join the panel of experts to resolve the comet crisis, and eventually decided to use a decommissioned space shuttle and satellite-loaded nuclear bomb to knock the comet out of its original orbit.
In order to cooperate with the government's action, Kate and Mindy also used tv programs to educate people about the feasibility of the science plan. The difference is that Kate's sharp words are not popular, and Mindy has taken the opportunity to become a new TV star. Indulging in the thrill of fame, Mindy soon lost herself, not only frequently participated in various variety shows, did her best to please the audience, and began an unruly affair with Brie.
Finally, the day came when the plan was implemented. To everyone's surprise, this exceptionally successful launch was suddenly stopped by the president after the rocket took off.
The reason is that Bash's Peter claimed that the comet had $32 trillion worth of minerals, and its total value reached a staggering $140 trillion. In order to grab a huge fortune, Peter proposed a crazy mining plan, which was also supported by a profit-hungry president.
Peter's tech team includes some of the world's best scientists, and his ambitious speech even says that Mindy moved. Only Kate questioned the plan and publicly denounced it in the restaurant for only making "the rich rich richer."
Yet the president declared that the comet was mined to boost the U.S. economy and provide more jobs for the people. This high-sounding argument was supported by many people, including Kate's parents. So Kate was abandoned by her boyfriend and was thrown out of the house by her parents.
On the other hand, as the comet approaches, Mindy is horrified to find that Bash's comet mining plan is ridiculously unappraised by the industry! What is even more desperate is that no one has ever questioned this. Tormented by her conscience, Mindy finally tells the truth on a TV show and breaks up with Brie.
Is this irretrievable?
Finally, with the passage of time, The Earth finally ushered in the visit of the comet.
When the comet was clearly hanging high above people's heads, the unprecedented oppressive force caused unprecedented panic. It was then that people came to believe that Kate and Mindy's warnings were not "crazy."
At the last moment, Mindy and Kate call on everyone to "raise their heads" and fight for the fate of humanity. They called a rally to protest to the president. The president's response was only one, and that was to get people to "don't look up."
At this point, two different voices have finally formed in the film:
Is it to "lift your head" and face reality bravely?
Or "don't look up" and run away from the established facts?
Or is the end of the story already predestined?
