I was quite skeptical when this movie was nominated for the Oscars. A satire with comedy? But with such an illustrious cast of stars, may be that was the ticket to success at the academy awards? It draws so many parallels with our current situation like the asteroid coming to destroy the earth akin to climate change though I would consider that it’s also similar to covid as a non-visible killer (at least you can’t see the asteroid yet). We have the amazing Meryl Streep who’s portraying a self-centred American president with large golden hair proclaiming “Don’t look up!” just like Trump during his MAGA campaign. Similarly, celebrity worship and social media popularity is so unapologetically brash in the movie that nobody takes the impending doom seriously – sometimes portraying issues with our media a bit close to heart. The eccentric tech billionaire played by Mark Rylance is part Tim Cook, part Mark Zuckerberg (with god-like algorithms to know exactly how you die) has the heart of a spreadsheet and the mind of a spiritual guru is quite hilarious if not for the likelihood the movie made his character an actual encapsulation of big CEOs today. What are your thoughts on the movie?
