Look up, stop laughing

I have seen many people commenting on this movie before. It is dark humor, political satire, and the characters in it can basically guess the prototype. What's interesting is that people with different political orientations and political understandings will have different feelings when watching this movie. To be honest, I am not surprised by the absurdity of this movie. The panic and helplessness of reality are more profound than the rendering power of the movie, but this is a movie that makes people who live peacefully vigilant, especially The cast inside can attract more people to watch movies with such content. After all, dark humor movies have never been mainstream.

What do you do when you see a seemingly absurd message? The film describes the irrational side of human beings:

1. Memeization
2. eat melon
3. Blindly listening to authority
4. say they're crazy

Only the irrational side: go to professionals to read their brief analysis data reports, ask their opinions, and really, prepare for doomsday escape.

Why should we most empathize with this movie in this day and age?

In the midst of the epidemic, we look back on the entire trajectory from the onset to the present. People who don't trust warnings, people who don't trust expert analysis, people who create panic, people who listen to rumors... Everything, collide with a comet Isn't the only difference on earth the ending?

How to choose what to trust is based on the basis of knowledge and tolerance, so we always have to learn and see more arguments from different positions. When we understand what others are thinking, we will be more empathetic and change. Others, change the status quo.

The predicament that the protagonists fall into is that they always express themselves in their own thinking. Although the world is absurd and unacceptable, in positive terms, it is just diversity . Use methods that others will accept to find channels. In fact, they did it too. Unfortunately, it started when it was irreversible. Before that, they themselves were part of the absurdity. ;

But they are also great. Knowing that the end is coming, they did not find a way to escape by themselves, but kept warning humans.

If it were me, I might have given up long ago, and would rather find a rich man who is afraid of death to dig a hole or prepare to move to outer space. (Please give me a little space to imagine

Children's play entertainment / eating melon

This is probably not a phenomenon unique to this era, and probably in every era there will be people who use similar methods to manipulate other people's thoughts. I think one of the reasons for this is that many people cannot distinguish between fact and opinion due to insufficient basic education.

When Kate yelled, instead of trying to judge the credibility of her statement that the comet was about to hit the earth, she tried to obfuscate what she wanted to say in terms of her expression, attitude, appearance, and everything else, while entertaining Go take her words as a joke.

Instead, people liked Randull -- but also didn't listen to him, but looked at his looks, body, charm, and no one cared about Teddy at all.

Apparently people's values are also something that the film wants to satirize.

What's more, when we grow up, neither school nor parents will teach critical thinking, but before the age of 18 is the period of the highest value shaping and absorptive ability, when we have been taught what we should pay attention to— -Money, career, what age should do things, other things seem to have no value, and less thinking and understanding, and even treat those who study these things as a joke, otherwise, no one will seriously think about the comet hitting the earth this thing?

"I don't know if the comet will hit the earth, but what should I do if the comet doesn't hit the earth if I quit my job?" I think this is a question that most people will think about.

There's another movie on Netflix called "The Survival Family," which tells the story of what happens when Japan's power goes out—despite a series of disasters, a large number of employees rush to the company to arrange paperwork and run business.

Why do people become like this? How are we shaped by our environment and how are we shaped by ourselves?

Why do people enjoy the pleasure of laughing at someone? Why is chewing other people's pain a kind of "eating melon", and what is the reason for "wanting to watch it"?

When you see Kate complaining, pay attention to these messages because they may affect you, I'm sure every viewer will laugh at people who don't think about what she's saying.

What if we switch scenes back to reality when we see other news? Or is it just a complaint from a netizen on the Internet?

Seeing that two film reviews use climate change as an example, probably because this is also something that changes the world and human beings, but now we don’t feel urgent panic, so some people will make fun of people who cry about the severity of climate change. , because they cannot empathize with their panic, as well as their love of the environment.

Another example, when we see other people complaining about things in their lives online, how many people downplay their pain, and then extend "what if it was me", I think these and those things are all in common. Yes, being able to see how a person treats others, and how they treat others, to a certain extent, will treat the world in the same way.

At the end of the movie, everything is destroyed. Some human beings go to other planets, and the remaining son of the president lives on earth. Of course, this is also the ironic part, but most people use the end of their lives to respond to the scenes created by human beings unable to connect with each other.

In real life, we are still living in the world, how should we face ourselves, others, and tomorrow?
