"Don't Look Up" REVIEW [ENG/ESP]
Hello Hive Community !
The truth is that I didn't have much interest in this production, but after seeing the official trailer and the mixed reviews from the public, I felt the need to see "Don't Look Up", and (SPOILER) I don't regret it.
Kate Dibiasky is an astronomer who discovers a large comet approaching the earth, soon together with her professor, Dr. Randall Mindy, they realize that this comet is not only approaching our planet, but also has a 99% chance of destroying it, both astronomers join forces with Dr. Clayton of NASA and try to alert the higher-ups, but in an environment where realistic (and unproductive) facts are ignored in favor of public acceptance. Clayton of NASA and try to alert the higher-ups to the seriousness of the matter, but in an environment where realistic (and unproductive) facts are ignored in favor of public acceptance, the news of the end of planet earth is ruthlessly ignored, rather than determined to do something about it, Kate and Dr. Randall take matters into their own hands in the hope of being taken seriously, only they don't get the reactions they expected.

Porque, ¡Oye, Hay una cantidad absurda de dinero que podríamos obtener de ese meteorito! ¿Y qué seria de la sociedad moderna si no pudiéramos ponerle precio hasta el más mínimo (y mortal) recurso que se nos pongan a la vista?
Taking matters into their own hands doesn't end up as well as they thought it would, luckily for both of them, the president gets caught up in a huge media controversy and in an attempt to clean up her image and that of her party, she sets out to save the planet. Everything looks great by this point and humanity seems to have a glimmer of hope peeking over the horizon, but soon the heroic plans to save the world will be interrupted
Because, hey, there's an absurd amount of money we could get from that meteorite! And what would modern society be like if we couldn't put a price on even the smallest (and deadliest) resource in sight?

Don't look up is a satire on the indifference of politicians, big "businessmen", and even the average human being, to the cruel reality we are facing, the world is vanishing before our very eyes and all we want to know is how billionaires spend their vacations, or what will happen next in Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's weird relationship; And let alone the "ultimate" thing we can do as a society in an attempt to help the world, like giving a re-tweet to a news story about recycling and anti-consumerism, planting some plants around you, and maybe picking up a plastic bag we see on the street. The truth is that we live in a society built on rather dubious pillars, and that if we look objectively we will realize how absurd it all becomes at some point, and Don't look up tries to show us that during the two hours that the film lasts.

Now I'm not complaining that they took this message and went for a comic aspect, to portray us how ridiculous reality becomes, but certainly I was left with that little desire to see the matter more balanced, no doubt it was a rather pretentious story, wanting to cover various topics at the same time and later adding scenes and characters that little complemented the main themes, in turn with this said, I can understand the frustration of many with this film, it is not a humor for everything (and does not mean that those who do not like it have, well, a bad sense of humor) the truth is that Don't Look Up borders on the subtle line of a satire to a parody, they dumb down reality so much and add situations with sexual connotations (which become unnecessary) that it might be difficult to connect with the film for some, but even so, we can't deny the obvious message we are presented with, that our future looks pretty bad if we don't start giving the news about the future of our planet and humanity itself the merit and importance it deserves. While there is the occasional cinematically engaging scene, it's not particularly noteworthy on par with other "end of the world" films. With one of the most pretentious casts in recent years, filled with more than talented and appreciated stars by the public I have this little resentment inside me, it was like a missed opportunity to create a truly meaningful film for years to come, a product with longevity and impact, but hey... Why did they charge those poor scientists for free snacks...?

Sin duda puedo decir que Don't Look Up fue muy entretenida, con personajes bien actuados que me gustaron -especialmente el personaje de Leonardo DiCaprio como el (perdedor pero aparentemente atractivo) Dr.Randall y Mark Rylance como el "genio" (y el no, pero sí, empresario) Peter Isherwell- y con el claro mensaje sobre la situación actual de los medios de comunicación, las redes sociales, las personas con poder, y por supuesto, nuestra sociedad moderna. Honestamente recomendado
Without a doubt I can say that Don't Look Up was highly entertaining, with well acted characters that I enjoyed -especially Leonardo DiCaprio's character as the (loser but apparently attractive) Dr.Randall and Mark Rylance as the "genius" (and the not, but yes, entrepreneur) Peter Isherwell - and with the clear message about the current situation of the media, social networks, people with power, and of course, our modern society. Honestly recommended

Una sátira genial aunque admito que no es una película para todo el mundo, se debe afrontar con la mente muy abierta.
La secuencia final es brillante y está plagado con un cast excelente.
Sí, sin duda no es una película para toda (el caos que hay en opiniones sobre esta película en redes habla bastante de ello) pero no podemos negar que hay cierta verdad en la trama. Totalmente de acuerdo contigo con el aspecto de que hay que ver esta película con la mente abierta
Muchas gracias por leer!
Concuerdo con cada cosa que expresas en esta reseña, creo al igual que tú, que es una película entretenida y que tiene un mensaje muy importante, pero que deja una sensación de insatisfacción debido a que pudo ser mucho más de lo que es, ya que se acerca demasiado a una parodia y se utilizan recursos que, a mi modo de ver la comedia, está sobrando y le restan calidad al producto. Excelente publicación, saludos, espero volver a leerte próximamente.
Estoy feliz de que te gustara la publicación :). sin duda la película tenia un potencial bastante bueno (ademas con el tremendo cast que tenia) pero creo que hubo un poco de duda por parte del director de llevar las cosas al siguiente nivel, muchas gracias por leer, y saludos para ti también!
A mí me encantó la verdad, ya la he visto tres veces, pensando también en hacer una reseña en algún momento. Es increíble como te muestra una realidad que a simple vista parece absurda, pero es exactamente hacia donde vamos. Todo es una chiste y la única forma que un político se tome en serio las noticias importantes es para generar puntos en las encuestas. Me encantó el chiste del general cobrando las galletas, haciendo una fuerte crítica a que no importa el cargo que tenga, siempre van a querer exprimirte el dinero. de verdad podría dialogar por horas acerca de eta peli, no se por qué me gustó tanto. Genial que hayas hecho esta reseña.
Esa pequeña broma del general cobrando las galletas y la botella de agua en realidad fue genial, y la manera en que incluso en momentos serios Kate siguió haciéndose la misma pregunta de por qué rayos les cobraron por algo gratis ciertamente fue en detalle que añadió bastante a Don't look up, sin duda es una película que yo también me vería varias veces, totalmente entretenida!, muchas gracias por tu comentario :D
Tengo muchas ganas de ver la peli, y la reseña a pesar de los puntos débiles que resalta, luego de haber pasado por todo lo del coronavirus, me hace pensar que es más realista que si la hubieran hecho con mayor seriedad jaja.
