Hey everyone! My first video essay of the year will be a return to my roots (sort of); a discussion of an individual movie: Adam McKay's Don't Look Up!
This is a movie I felt very conflicted about, and I've found myself agreeing with both the positive and the negative reviews, which for me is always an interesting starting point for analysis.
The video will be dissecting The Big Short (one of my favorites!), and to a lesser extent: Vice (also pretty good!), to dig into McKay's rather unique approach to addressing real world issues; examine how this applies to Don't Look Up and its metaphorical exploration of climate change; and reflect on what it really means for a movie to hold up a mirror to society.
