‘Don't Look Up' movie review: A Trumpian Attack on America's Corrupt Establishment
[Breitbart] Co-writer, director Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up will accidentally please establishment-hating Trump fans. Of course, that might sound counter-intuitive considering all the This-is-about-Global-Warming! hype around it. The truth, though, is that (except for a few minutes), Don’t Look Up is such a brutal attack on the media, D.C., Big Tech, the FBI, and the ethically-compromised scientific community, Trump himself could have produced it.The plot is pretty straightforward. Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) is a Midwestern Ph.D. candidate observing the skies who discovers an unknown comet. At first, she’s excited. This is an amazing find, and the comet will be named after her. But during the big celebration that follows, her professor, Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio), does the math and discovers the Dibiasky Comet will destroy the planet in about six months. From here, Kate and Randall, two very smart but down-to-earth people from the rustbelt, attempt to sound the alarm. They start with the White House, then the media, then social media, then raising awareness through celebrities, then, then, then… The good news is that there’s enough time to save the earth. The bad news is that 1) no one wants to acknowledge this reality, and 2) our media/political/Big Tech/celebrity/science establishment are so compromised and self-involved, nothing happens.
