YO, I don't know if the big friends have an experience when watching the movie, that is, a certain movie relies on special tonality to win, not slow and hot, not playing reverses and the like, but as soon as the first 10 minutes or so, you can appreciate whether you love this kind of movie expression.
Today's "Don't Look Up" is a film with its own unique temperament, the film began 5 minutes, the black curtain out of a paragraph, has been positioned in the film's black humor and sarcasm style.
The phrase comes from humorist Jack Handy's one-line joke: "I wish I had died peacefully in a dream like my grandfather, rather than screaming in fear toward death, like his passengers." ”
Then, in the next minute, the film deliberately pauses the frame in the form of breaking the fourth wall to comically explain a thing called the "Planetary Defense Coordination Office."
These two operations at the beginning of the film, coupled with an Earth-level disaster-level McGuffin, "Don't Look Up" sucks you up, and the film quickly gives you the answer.
And the actors of "Don't Look Up" are also a highlight, and the big coffee is all familiar faces.
Needless to say, there are nominations for award-winning professional Aunt Mei, Kate Blanchett, Mark Reilance, Sweet Tea, Jonah Hill, etc., in addition to specially invited A sister and DJ Chello, as well as the US team to make cameos, this cast can be described as this year's following "Dune" and "French" after the production team of another super card division.
Of course, the actors in the film are sometimes light, but at the same time, the performance that can instantly explode emotions also makes "Don't Look Up" present a more brilliant and hilarious political satire comedy effect.
Next, I will review this year's surprise work with my big partners, and reminisce about the ridiculous laughter and finally the desperate "Don't Look Up".
The film begins with the astronomer of the master-apprentice relationship played by Little Plum and the big cousin, accidentally found a comet the size of the Himalayas, and there are more than 6 months to crash directly into the earth, the earth will suffer a worse fate than the extinction of the dinosaurs, all mankind and most of the earth life will cease to exist, in a word, it is over.
So Little Plum and big cousin immediately reported the news to NASA, from this point on it began to be abnormal, NASA director directly kicked the ball to a "planetary defense" agency, fortunately, the head of the agency is still responsible, knows that the situation is serious, so let Xiao Li and big cousin go directly to the White House to find the President of the United States to discuss.
Think this will solve the problem, the farce has just begun, they went there early in the morning, there is a general already waiting for them there, when introducing themselves, the director of "planetary defense" is called Teddy, the key is that the general thinks he is humorous, and ridicules "Teddy" is not "Teddy Bear".
I love this kind of awkward and static humor, and the film has a lot of jokes similar to this kind of stitching, and the context is misplaced with each other.
But because the president was too busy, they had to wait, and this wait was a whole day, and the general was kind enough to get some snacks and water, and complained that the White House was so expensive that a package of snacks cost $10.
But in the evening, when the eldest cousin went to the pantry to get snacks and water again, she asked where to pay for it, only to be told that these things were free.
that... Why did the general ask them to collect money, which was a satire on the wool of the US military.
They were then notified by White House staff that the meeting had been cancelled outright, and yes, when the President of the United States probably knew they were going to report on the emergency and waited for a day, they were told to come back the next day.
The next day they met the female president as they wished, but all this did not go well, Xiao Lizi was too nervous to express too complicated, did not say a few words everyone could not listen to it, here is a detail white house staff always rub their noses, this is obviously just sucked what the classic action, the president is the kind of person who does not stand like sitting and sitting, it is really ridicule and irony everywhere.
At this time, the eldest cousin bluntly said that the comet was going to hit the earth, and all mankind was going to be finished, thinking that the president would be stunned, and then the whole time he played the piano to the cow, the president reported all the things that are now reported to her, need to be used as a reference for her subsequent midterm elections, which is beneficial to the election, and will be implemented, otherwise it will "wait and see what happens.".
There is no mistake 6 months the earth is going to be finished, but the president wants everyone to wait and see, just when Xiao Li wants to explain the seriousness of the problem again, the president is just busy looking for cigarettes, and he is still telling the little story of his smoking discovery.
After that, the farce of meeting the president ended hastily, and Xiao Li was sent away, and the matter was basically over.
Xiao Li did not give up, so they turned to newspapers and TV news interviews, hoping to expose all this with their own strength.
They found a semi-variety news program called "Every Day Revealed", which is probably what topic has traffic and heat, and it is right to go on this program.
Among them, A sister came to play a gossip singer, talked about the experience of breaking up with her ex-boyfriend Choello on the show, and successfully created a topic in the show, two old lovers connected, showed each other's old frontiers and love, than who loved whom more than to see, Chello directly connected to propose marriage after the line, everyone's mobile phone was bombarded by the news push, and artificial intelligence helped users buy and place orders for their songs, which is simply no different from the actual operation.
And the news of the comet hitting the earth, it is ironically ranked behind sister A, xiao Li and the big cousin on the stage, obviously incompatible with the host style of this show, when the host knows that the comet will crash into the earth, the male host also takes the ex-wife's house to ridicule, can not crash into that.
This led to the big cousin who had been in fear directly in the live broadcast room.
But fortunately, Xiao Li won a lot of audience favor with a round field that did not hurt or itch, and after the show, Xiao Li was unexpectedly rated as the sexiest scientist, and the big cousin could imagine being hit by a huge amount of Internet violence.
Their public comet hitting the earth did not rub much heat and attention, which also showed that in reality, everyone is bombarded with a huge amount of doomsday arguments and terrifying headline party information every day, and how many people really care about whether tomorrow is worth looking forward to and surviving.
Just in the case of seeing that things have not turned around, an opportunity for luck has come, the president has been exposed for passing nude photos with his lover, and the support rate has plummeted, and it is definitely to save the world to pull back the polls.
So the president "arrested" Little Li, Big Cousin and Teddy back to the White House in the absurd way that the FBI arrested the prisoners.
Among them, the FBI grabbed the Tate section, which was too able to pull.
The president has laid out a series of "save the planet" plans, preparing to launch a wave of drone-loaded rockets to rush towards the comet, so that the comet will deviate from orbit and not crash into the earth.
In order to make this event look greater, there was no need to send people to space, but the president still created a "hero" to sacrifice in heaven.
Although all this is a guarantee of victory in the presidential midterm elections, it is at least a good thing for humanity.
Due to the president's direct orders, everyone finally paid attention to it, the popularity of Xiao Li and his big cousin also rose sharply, and the female host of the show who chased fame and fortune, played by Kate Blanchett, also began to get involved with Xiao Li, and Xiao Li also began to taste the sweetness of fame outside.
Finally came the day when the rocket lifted off to block the comet, everyone waited and watched, I watched the film for only half the time, the good guys can't go wrong.
Sure enough, a mobile phone giant Peter came to the war room, it turned out that he had money enough to run a VIP, free to enter and exit the White House, and he had money to make the ghost push and grind.
The good drama is still to come, the rocket launch soon after the collective turn, do not explode!
Why, just because peter, who satirizes several figures in reality, discovers that comets contain a lot of rare minerals, and whoever gets it can be more powerful and richer.
In order to mine the comet, even the life can be eliminated, which is simply what is called bloodthirsty capital.
Then Peter began to explain not fluently how he could get the ore and save the earth, that is, to send their company's drone up, blow up the comet instead of yawing, and then the drone can also mine, anyway, how outrageous.
Peter's assistant also helped explain some details during this process, and Peter came directly to a famous scene of smelling his hair, and I can only say, Cow...
Xiao Li, who attended this secret meeting, then told his big cousin and Teddy about the matter, and the big cousin, who had always been emotionally excited, broke out directly in the bar, telling everyone present that we were finished, that the capitalists did not even want their own lives, and what our lives were.
The result was a small riot, and the eldest cousin was pulled into quarantine to sign a confidentiality agreement, either not to talk about it again or to go to jail.
The eldest cousin had no choice but to choose the former, and went home to work as a supermarket cashier. During this period, I also met hippie sweet tea, and I did not expect to become close friends.
Although Xiao Li was so influenced by fame and fortune that even his wife left him, he still had some conscience in his heart, and he repeatedly wanted to put Peter's project under the transparent review of his peers to test the feasibility, but the result was that Xiao Li was also kicked out.
Xiao Li can only return to the unveiling variety show in the end, this time it is he who stormed out, Xiao Li directly scolded American politics and the president, as well as the capitalists and bloodthirsty interests behind it.
But what is the use of this, this is just an eye-catching show, as ordinary people, no one can do such a comet hitting the earth.
Just as Xiao Li habitually looked up on the way home and found that the comet had come to the naked eye, people also began to panic a little.
Because of the conclusive comet evidence, Xiao Li and big cousin attacked again and formed the "look up" organization, on the contrary, led by President Peter, it became the "Don't Look Up" organization, which is the title of the film.
The two camps are tearing each other apart on the Internet and reality, just as the real world has been in the United States' previous elections.
Here the US team also made a cameo as a director and made a disaster film, just like "2012" was released before 2012.
What's even more ridiculous is that A-sister and Choello also sang "Look Up", the song is good, and the lyrics are simply laughable.
Well, even if the United States is indifferent, other countries China, Russia, India set up their own comet yaw plan, but at the critical moment, Russia's total launch site was blown up by the United States, and the last straw of the earth was completely gone.
On the day of the United States' own launch plan, it rotted a few as soon as it came up, and then the comet destroyed itself and crashed into a few, and finally all of them were directly destroyed, and the comet did not explode, or rushed straight to the earth.
At this time, Peter and the president both boarded PLAN B's Noah's Ark on the grounds of urinary urgency to escape the earth, and also left the White House staff in the launch command center, by the way, the White House staff is the president's son.
And Xiao Li they knew from the beginning that Peter's plan was useless, Xiao Li chose to take his big cousin and sweet tea, and Teddy to his home for dinner, ending his life in the form of family reunion.
Finally, there are Easter eggs in the movie, Noah's Ark with all the elderly magnates, and really go to a planet with ample oxygen and vegetation, but this group of people is destroyed by the giant unknown alien of the planet as soon as they leave the capsule.
"Don't Look Up" is written and directed by Adam McKay, the film follows the consistent tone of his "Vice President" and "The Big Short", highly purified black humor and irony, and the unscrupulous black flight of American politics and capital, which makes people look absolutely superior.
This time, "Don't Look Up" has been strongly upgraded in terms of actors and scripts, as well as shooting and editing, and the whole movie has been blackened in one go, and the satire and ridicule of the moment are eager to fill every scene and every line.
Here we have to mention the film's misplaced time-space montage editing, which is absolutely advanced and does not reveal traces, so that the film is full of breathing and rhythmic rhythm, but also effectively compresses the narrative time to superimpose the richness of the narrative.
The film was originally filmed before the epidemic, and the arrival of the epidemic delayed the shooting, that is to say, the script was written before the epidemic, and the main irony is the current torn United States and the already highly entertained American politics.
But perhaps the film is too real, especially in the current epidemic situation, after the film is laughing, it makes people a little angry and desperate, anxious and helpless in the back.
When the comet finally crashed into the earth, human civilization ended in an absurdity, and everything seemed meaningless in the quiet universe, which made people sigh and sigh after watching.
Of course, the film has its own obvious advantages, but it is not invulnerable without shortcomings, "Don't Look Up" is actually a very straightforward mockery of the current Problems in the United States, but there is no black humor like "Parasite" with a deeper tragedy, if you often watch SNL Saturday Night, you should also be familiar with the taunt of "Don't Look Up".
But don't think about what a movie can change in the United States, so maybe "Don't Look Up" also knows its own positioning, and it directly fires up and entertains to death in a ridiculous and humorous way.
If you really want to dig up some profound truth in the film, or want to expose some ugly truths through the film, in fact, the film does not have much material to dig, because what happens in the United States in reality is more incredible than the movie.
