Don't Look Up and The Result of Late Capitalism
Jump to Connections
60,185 Views • Premiered Jan 26, 2022 • Click to toggle off description
In the 21st century, satire has become a medium that is among the most commodifiable. In the spirit of Zizek, ideology isn't of blind acceptance, but of mass cynical unacceptance. In spirit of this, Don't Look Up approaches its critique much smarter than most. It goes beyond the symptoms of late-capitalism; hedonism, willful ignorance, and into the structure of political economy. Between state and(in) commerce, yet through the lens of culture. For this, in my mind, it deserves a video on this channel. And is one of my favorite movies I have seen in 2021.

Yo, friends! Just wanted to give an extra plug to the Patreon/YouTube members section! It's how I do this thing, and without it, it would be impossible. (I know every creator says this, but, after becoming one and seeing how absolutely little YouTube pays, I see why lol.) Hopefully there are some cool perks in there that might make it worth it on top of the existing content I create! Thanks again for all being here in the first place.

Don't Look Up is evidence that irony and satire are no longer possible or, at the very least, far more difficult than in previous eras.

One of your best videos, this is being criminally ignored by the algorithm.

Strangely, no one on the West (as far as I've heard) haven't talked about the religious level of sublime in the film. The last scene is precisely Chekhovian as the family meets their end chatting about mundane things with stoic dignity - Cherry Orchard style. The point is not mine, but this ending is very... calming in a bad way? Maybe it's just me, but the desire (and an instruction how to actually desire it, cinema perv) to meet the death with dignity is the very thing that pacifying. Contrary to that, like, no, apocalypse will come, but - bad news - we all will not die in that beautiful (i cried personally) scene with siberian shaman, fire falling from sky, very christian, very catarticly exaltating. No, we will survive to live in a dirty and humiliating world. And it's not that foreign, totally alian world of Mad Max and non-humanity. It will be ours world and the shame and filth will be ours to get by.

"With its never-ending emphasis on exploitation and expansion, and its indifference to environmental costs, capitalism appears determined to stand outside nature. The essence of capitalism, its raison d'être, is to convert nature into commodities and commodities into capital, transforming the living earth into inanimate wealth." (PARENTI, Blackshirts and Reds).

There will come a point when we'll be forced to choose between continuing capitalism and our survival on Earth, and unfortunately we shall choose the former.

The irony trying to watch this while constantly getting plagued by product propaganda 😢

It fascinates me how many people do not realize how scary it is to put stupid people in positions of power.

I have been studying, researching, and writing about these subjects for quite a few years now. The fact that I find your YouTube channel all these years later is quite the statement on the relevance of the information you're sharing. I know people who have watched the film, and were entertained by it. It is an amazing work of satire. I watched it in a perpetual state of something between disgust, despair, and horror. I suppose there are a lot of us here who are trapped in that 'limbo', and are acutely aware of it. I've watched two of your videos, and they are phenomenal. I am sorry that I didn't know about them sooner.

From a tired old man, this is spot on.......... What Ive born witness to during these past 60 years has been absolutley and utterly remarkable. Ive found the only why to cope with it is to look at it all with a disstracted sence of ammusment.

This is a great show but all it really does is show how little we care for each other and are completely focused on gaining materials to feel validated in a system that no longer lifts people up but rather gets them to enjoy and even idolize our slavery … seriously, actors who have more wealth then they know what to do with are on the TV trying to tell people everything is just fine the way it is

Amazing video, Epoch! I'll make sure to share this with my friends, because damn, the algorithm does not like your video. Didn't even get a notification even though I specifically activated the "notify me" button.

Only reason people were ripping on this movie is because it is EXACTLY spot on about how people would react to something like that.

What's so great about the movie is how it pissed me off because how real the character acted to actual western society.

Another very thought provoking video. Wasn't going to watch this film as I generally associate Netflix with an open sewer, however I will now try it.
