What's your point?

No of course not, this movie is not an exact reflection of our reality but it captures the absurdity of the society that we live in. There might be exaggerations and completely unrealistic scenarios in the movie because it's a comedy, but if you just look at the very essence of the film you'll see it's not very far from our reality. The Politics, Celebrity Culture and Stupidity of People, etc.

What better way to portray reality if not through satire comedy? Brilliant Film. It will make you laugh till it hurts for either being too funny or too real.

Found this great as well, Mark Rylance in particular - I'm also not into the hype around JLaw but I did like her in this.

Yeah. Had it been a remotely realistic reflection of reality, the movie would've had DiCaprio and JLaw playing themselves. In between the former conducting trysts with Tobey Maguire while pretending to date supermodels, and the latter lamenting the alleged wage gap while living a more moneyed life than most human beings on the planet, both would've also been shown regurgitating hackneyed climate alarmism, while they themselves are jet setting around the planet every other week. And in the process, leaving a larger carbon footprint than just about everyone else

Not a fan of the film or actors (or both) I take it?

I’ve decided I can’t stand Rylance. Something about his acting style really annoys me. He was terrible in BFG, did the same thing in Ready Player One, and basically again in Don’t Look Up. I was okay with Dunkirk, at least.

Don’t Look Up is pretty funny, overall.

DiCaprio is an okay actor, and JLaw is pretty good. It's just regrettable that both don't stick to acting or confine their philanthropy to actually feeding the hungry

Oh come on, who of Di Caprio's generation is any better? Christian Bale possibly, but otherwise not many others.

I'm not a big fan of his but you cannot watch a film like Blood Diamond and say he's an OK actor!

Lots of fellas who don't get a whole lot of press., or who never quite achieved A list status. Adrien Brody, James DeBello, Mike Fassbender, Billy Crudup, the list goes on. DiCaprio hasn't even really demonstrated the versatility of Bradley Cooper, if we're being honest. Check out Midnight Meat Train, or even Coop's Crispin Glover-esque turn in Wedding Crashers for evidence. I'm not saying DiCaprio is a terrible actor, let's just not pretend that he's anything more than a modern day Tony Curtis

Not saying DiCaprio isn't versatile (I refer you to What's Eating Gilber Grape), but just because an actor doesn't demonstrate that much verstality does not equate them to being just an OK actor. Look at Pacino and De Niro, greatest actors of our time yet you could name lots of films they were awful in or played the same sort of character many times over.

Also Adrien Brody won an Oscar yet was atrocious in Peaky Blinders. Cooper in the A-Team etc. My point is you could analyse and pick out duds in all those guys CVs.

You needn't take my word for it

Yeah, not going take that dude's word for it either. Scorese ruined The Departed by casting Leo? Hmmm...

I'm sorry but it fully reflects our reality. It shocked me to see this movie, it mirrors what is happening right now, we are killing each other just to belong to one faction or another, and everyone on the internet is cheering as if it were a sport, all of that. it does not make sense.

Leftists and progressives are the ones not "Looking Up" right now.
Thanks for the disaster and no accountability.
