Don't Look Up (2021)
10/10
Exact events happened during COVID-19
12 March 2023
This movie showed everything!! It reflected our mindset. How we react when something serious is about to happen!! When pandemic hit us just like a comet was about to hit the Earth in this movie, everyone's reaction was exactly the same.

This movie depicts same events during COVID. Let's start with:

1) POLITICIANS: I am so amazed to see in the movie that real life politicians also took COVID not seriously and laughed it off at first. As a result millions died. Not making quick decisions by some countries' governments led the world into a fiasco. I think Meryl Streep's portrayal of a self centred leader is inspired from our leaders. Just for some votes they can let go of anything!!

2) SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS: In this movie social media actors reminds me of the time when our famous influencers were doing the same thing. There were tweets, posts, reels and memes!!! How can I forget government ran IT cells!!!

3) MEDIA: I remember every conversation in media debates regarding conspiracy theories, vaccines, blame games, morning and late night shows. How they hide everything from people. How government failed to curb the spread of infections, deaths etc....., etc....., etc.....

4) Last but not the least, We the PEOPLE: How people were divided into two groups. One who want others to look up and others who don't. Same thing happened during COVID especially chanting GO CORONA.. CORONA GO in India. That was stupidity. By doing thay they thought it will go and no need of taking health measures.

I would recommend this movie to everyone. We all should watch and try to self contemplate and try to believe in science. As many scientists kept saying to take vaccines but some people DIDN'T LISTEN TO THEM or just like in this movie, they were told by some media, government and influencers - DON'T LOOK UP!!!
