The genre label of "Don't Look Up" on Douban is "comedy, science fiction", but many people who have watched this film feel that it is not funny, why is it not funny? Comedy has always had layers, and high-level comedy has more power than any "serious" creation. Shaking baggage, telling jokes, and playing cleverness are comedies defined by a wide audience, but think about it from another angle, is this movie that brings together multiple Oscars just to shake your wit in front of the big screen? The film is a model of a so-called "high-class comedy."
Audiences who can't understand this movie or wonder why this movie is called "comedy" are lucky, because the happiness experienced by these audiences is very intuitive, I believe you must be Jia Ling, a fan of Shen Teng, you don't even like Guo Degang, you think Guo Degang is not tight, you think Xu Zheng is too pretentious, not as sincere and simple as Shen Teng and Jia Ling.
It is not difficult to understand this movie, and those who understand this movie while laughing are sad, and you must often feel that life is meaningless, even disappointed in life, even desperate. Good comedy is always a laugh and a lot of sadness at the same time, why say "the core of comedy is tragedy"? Yes, tragedy is the most empathetic, comedy is the form of expression, and irony is the basic technique.
Right! Ironically, this film takes the satire to the extreme. In this age of entertainment to the death, does anyone care about the demise of the world? What a joke, the president cares about his own votes is not enough, the stars only care about their own program ratings are not high enough, the general only cares about whether his wallet is full, and the entrepreneur only cares about his sales jump or not! And the masses? Under the fools of many parties, I can only care that today's news is funny or not.
Funny, how ridiculous life is, how funny the movie is. If you think this movie is funny, your life must have been ridiculous, at least it was absurd, but one thing is for sure, you are really alive, you are really alive in this world with your own personal experience, even if you may feel desperate, but you are also incredibly sober. Of course, I also know that I wrote five or six hundred words, in fact, many people will not even finish reading, my mentality is the same as the wonderful place of this movie.
