Release some of that rage with Don't Look Up
The common criticism of Adam Mckay 's latest, Don't Look Up , appears to be that its satire is so blunt that it is unfunny. Even if that rings true for some, it doesn't make the film's purpose less effective. The film was not laugh-out-loud funny, because it was downright terrifying. After Jennifer Lawrence 's character, Kate Dibiasky, says as much, "Well, maybe the destruction of the entire planet is not supposed to be fun," on live TV, she is ridiculed for it. It takes Leonardo's Dicaprio 's character, Dr. Randall Mindy, more time to get to his televised outburst : in which he yells that everything doesn't have to, "sound so goddamn clever or charming or likeable all the time." I get that the climate change message is obvious for a lot of aware viewers, but for me Don't Look Up is welcomed catharsis.
