Hello friends, good vibes to all.
We arrived at the sensation of the moment, the movie that EVERYONE is talking about and how could it be otherwise on this side also had to get on that train and understand everything that was happening in the various social networks. I saw it hours after it was released and it had already caused a stir in people because there are those who thought it was amazing and a gem, I include myself, and those who did not like it at all. The thing about this film is that there are no grays, you either like it or you hate it.
I confess that I had no idea what I was going to find since part of the general review said it was a comedy, with drama and science fiction, which is real, but at first it was a little complicated to digest that. Everything becomes clear once seen and the truth is that I ended up very pleased since as I put in the title I think that without any doubt it is one of the best films released this year. Let's go then and talk about it....
This story centers on two very ordinary astronomers, Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) who suddenly make the discovery of something extremely impressive but at the same time terrifying and that is that a comet of great proportions is heading towards Earth with a real threat of a direct impact. The catch here is that NOBODY seems to care about it.
In the face of Kate and Dr. Mindy's anguish, they decide that everyone must be told so that the necessary measures can be taken and that is when they go to talk to Orlean (Meryl Streep) who is the President of the United States along with her son Jason (Jonah Hill). But in the end the remedy is more dangerous than the disease itself because everyone is willing to take this news as if it were a joke.
From the White House itself to the most banal television program there can be, the efforts of these two astronomers arrive to convince people in what will undoubtedly become a titanic task. We must begin by saying that this film must be seen under the concept that it is a comedy that in the end becomes a great satire of the real world, from there I am sure you will enjoy it better.
Having clarified the above, yes, Don't Look Up is a high level satire where we are shown EVERYTHING that is wrong with the world to the point where I was laughing almost the entire movie because of how REAL it is. You know that saying "it's so real it hurts"? - Well, that's just the way it is. I am sure that if an event of that magnitude were to happen in our reality the society in general would react just like the movie and it is that detail that impressed me a lot.
In history there are several phenomena: we understand that politics is useless because it will always be petty and tied to their own interests accompanied by people who are clearly not capable of holding any office, there are the empty media that rather than informing what they seek is to entertain and in some cases manipulate, people who are Anti science and Anti everything and a humanity in general addicted to the networks which is very easy to influence.
In other words, I see this film as a well-delivered blow to the reality of which we are a part, and in my opinion, they did it quite well. And part of the success is due to the brutal cast it has, we are talking about first class actors and an Oscar-winning director, Adam McKay, who knew how to put together such a plot and exploit the qualities of each one of them.
DiCaprio's performance is magnificent, as he has become accustomed to. His character has certain characteristics that make him have to put an extra in the performance and the truth is that he does it with flying colors; moments of crisis, happiness, sadness and anger are some of the emotions that we can see him interpret in a matter of minutes.
What to say about Jennifer Lawrence, the misunderstood young woman who struggles for some acceptance but ends up practically worse than she started, an average performance not bad at all but I didn't see her stand out that much except in a couple of scenes. President Orlean played by the great Meryl Streep is a character you hate because of how well done she is, a lot of character and experience together make what she does never wrong.
But for me one of the best characters was Jason (Jonah Hill), a true comedy MVP. What a nefarious character and so real at the same time, I'm sure we ALL know someone like that in any walk of life. And he is so good that the first scene in the Oval room was almost improvised, said by the director himself, which shows the great ability of this actor, one of my favorites in the genre.
In conclusion, an incredible movie that I didn't expect to like so much but seeing everything behind it and its way of taking criticism to a comedy level definitely got me. Great actors, we even saw some sci-fi effects which were not bad at all and a high degree of comedy to the point of being uncomfortable which for me is wonderful (I say that because of my sense of humor) made this film one of the top of the year.
I rate it with an 8/10. As you can see I am in the group of those who liked it, personally I enjoyed the more than two and a half hours that the film lasts and you can find it on the Netflix platform. As usual I leave you the trailer.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!
Es muy difícil mantener el ritmo y el interés del público en una película de más de 2 horas. Y No Mires Arriba lo mantuvo. Estoy de acuerdo contigo sobre Jonah Hill, su personaje y el que nos hace pensar en Elon Musk fueron los que más me hicieron reír, por lo terriblemente realistas y bien actuados. Me encantó la peli, que hablara del desastre ecológico sin mencionarlo, haciéndonos "mirar arriba" para contarnos el desastre que tenemos "abajo". ¡Buena reseña!
Tal cual. Es querer tapar el sol con un dedo.
Como dije, es un golpe a la realidad que lastimosamente nos toca vivir.
Gracias por leer!
¡Vaya elenco! Debo confesar que Netflix tiene chispa para impulsar controversias cuando de películas y series de TV se trata. Al menos está historia tiene potencia actoral. No la he visto, quizás lo haga. Siento que a veces me hago muchas esperanzas y al final solo obtengo decepciones.
Creo que esta pinta bueno.
Buena reseña 👍
Es una película que no tiene puntos medios, te gusta o la odias.
Yo que tu le daría una oportunidad, si todo el mundo habla de ella es por algo.
Gracias por la visita, saludos!
