99.78% is the truth.

 
 

 This movie was a surprise, in many ways.  With such a boatload of respected actors, it was released to a limited time at some theaters, on Dec. 21, 2021 . It became another movie  on Netflix Dec. 24, three days later.

The presidential debates?

The Finality
 
There are many views of this movie.  Here a few:

"The whole movie really emphasized the pure truth: - how politicians are telling lies - how powerful technology billionaires are - the privilege of rich people - the ignorance of people about scientific threats"

"Idk if I'm over analyzing but my favorite detail about this scene is how he's holding the coffee mug at the end. He has his hand on the hot part not by the handle, almost like a last bit of comfort/distraction, a little warmth, the very thing that brought life in the first place."
 
There are many many comments about this movie, all of them shaking their heads and saying "This looks strangely possible, and the politicians are also strangely scary in the view of their power."

If you have time, watch this.  The comedy is good, message is even better.

Don't Look Up

 

Don't Look Up

 YouTube. Politics at play:  President  expects the audience to agree. Meryl Streep is Madame President, who is scales down the danger, eyes on the numbers, hopes for good numbers in the re-election. Don't look up!  is an oft-repeated command. If she said that often and loudly enough, her nation would believe it.  She is one darn crazy, devious president.

Telling someone, "Don't look up!" almost always makes that someone look up. In fact, everyone around that person will also look up.

Would you? Sure, and I would, too. ONCE. 

This movie is "Don't Look Up!"

Here is a synopsis, which says everything I would want to say, but can't:

Astronomy student Kate discovers the existence of an unidentified comet. Her professor, Dr Mindy, calculates that the trajectory of the asteroid crosses that of the Earth and that an impact will take place in about six months, killing all life in the process. They travel to the White House to present their findings. However The White House has other plans and are trying to silence Dr Mindy and Kate. In their attempt to inform the population through a television program, nothing really changes. Nobody seems interested and they will soon find out why.

Each YouTube video is between 3 to 5 minutes.

This film is chock a block with some really top-notch actors. Each is particularly gifted in improvisation and the film has some comedic acting and improv.  The video above is well-done synopsis. Those who are upset at a spoiler need to know: it is all predictable with a whole lot of funny.
