Yes they pretend to care - "don't look up"
- By Papiya Mondal
The movie review: Don't Look Up
Don't Look Up basically means that people only look at their phones these days, and are only willing to believe in what they want.
Throughout the movie, people are more concerned of celebrity breakups and drama than some global crisis, which in fact, is what happens in real life.Throughout the movie, people are more concerned of celebrity breakups and drama than some global crisis, which in fact, is what happens in real life.The president cares more about her election status, which is in fact, what some politicians only care about.Some of the satires are so hauntingly real, that it almost feels more like real life than some stupid comedy
The final scene where Dr. Mindy eats with his family is almost a stark contrast of the entire film, as it suddenly becomes emotional. They know that they failed. They tried, but no one listened. Everyone was just way too ridiculous, and they die holding hands together as a family.It's actually quite sad and unexpected that they all die in the end. Humanity was not saved, and it all went extinct.
∆ Brown cloud and pollution with Indian politics :
Air pollution in India is a serious issue, with the major sources being biomass burning, fuel adulteration, vehicle emission, and traffic congestion. Air pollution is also the main cause of the Asian brown cloud, which has been causing the monsoon season to be delayed.In November(2021), just when India seemed to have barely managed to control the outbreak of a deadly wave of the coronavirus, the country’s top court advised the government to mull yet another lockdown—this time to save people from falling sick to poisonous air.The sky over Delhi for weeks has been enveloped in a cloud of toxic smog. In the absence of any wind to disperse the pollution, the air continues to fill with smoke produced within the city and beyond its borders in nearby farming states that regularly burn straw. Well India is the third most polluted country in the world and home to 22 of the 30 most polluted cities according to the 2020 World Air Quality Report, released by Swiss organization IQ Air.
In a country with severe issues such as poverty, unemployment, and a glaring lack of basic infrastructure, pollution is simply not an electoral issue. But unless it becomes one, the political class will drag its feet to come up with a coherent plan and be reluctant to cooperate.Jitendra Kumar regularly drives his taxi between Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. On one such ride with Foreign Policy from Delhi to Meerut(source of newspaper)—a city in BJP-ruled western Uttar Pradesh, Kumar pointed to buildings made invisible by smog. He complained about lack of visibility and air that he said is hard to breathe. Yet he refused to turn off the car at a traffic light where the Delhi government had deployed volunteers to hold placards that read: “Red light on, Car off: Do your bit to reduce pollution.” Lack of awareness and reticence to change attitudes is a big part of the problem. But perhaps a bigger problem is that religious divisions, not pollution, are the leading theme in Indian politics. “India is split over Hindu-Muslim,” Kumar said. “That is our politics. No one votes on the basis of who will reduce pollution.“We are staunch voters of the BJP and oppose Muslims. Pollution, what can we do about pollution?” As Kumar drove along the Barapullah highway that leads to the newly built Meerut-Delhi expressway, he praised the BJP for constructing many new highways and reducing his commuting time. Better infrastructure will reduce pollution, too, but Kumar and most Indians are still preoccupied with development first. Seventy percent of the country’s infrastructure still needs to be built.
Yes, this film has a strong practical significance, from which we can see the shadow of various countries. As a journalist, we should understand the huge operation of the media, sometimes angels and sometimes demons——He Yipeng(Bruce)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed .I would rather mention it was like eye-opening movie with black comedy - Papiya mondal
DeleteIn this film, there are many theories about journalism and communication through practical response, but I didn't expect the situation in India. Thank my classmates for sharing through my blog。--------Zhang Jiahui(Lucas)
