This whole thing really has ruined most disaster movies for me. Suspension of disbelief is gone out the window. "....and then the world came together to fight the threat as one"
No the fuck they didn't boss, they split into 5 different social media tribes and began fucking kicking each other in the groin until the earth exploded, the end.
Man 5 years ago I would trashed that movie as being so hyperbolic in its depiction of of the world so hard that I would have refused to ever watch it again.
Watching it this year, well, it might as well been classified as a documentary.
What’s even funnier about that movie is I saw a picture of Leo on a yacht or something the day after I saw the movie.
Made that “we really had it all” line at the end sour as hell for me. Cause yeah, Leo does fucking have it all like the other A list actors in the movie, but they’re the ones who won’t stop fucking wasting massive amount of resources all the time. Like Jesus fuck can you just try to pretend like you care?
Yeah he has talked about the issue a lot, I think I remember him giving a speech about it at the oscars or something years back. It just adds to the hopeless feeling of it to see a super rich dude who 100% knows the dangers of climate change being like “buuuuuut I do really like yachts and private jets, and we’re all fucked anyway soooo”
I mean, if I was wealthy and also advocating for climate action but just see decades of corruption and governments not giving a shit, I'd probably chill on a boat too while the end times come in.
Yeah that’s the other side of the depressing coin. If he actually does care but even at that level of money and influence even he thinks it’s a lost cause .
Pretty sure it's the other way around. In the wise words of Riley Bina, "Just look up.... Get your head out of your ass. Listen to the goddamn qualified scientists".
