Count me in as someone who missed the club to the forehead. I enjoyed the whole movie, then said to my wife “wow they really went hard on drawing all those parallels to COVID.”
My wife nicely informed me that the movie was actually about climate change.
It’s mostly about climate change, but I don’t think you missed it if you thought Covid.
I thought it was a critique of american idiosincracy, while the world ending crisis is an analogy to climate change imo the main point of the movie is that the US is run by self-interested idiotas.
My problem with the movie is that they’re obviously referencing the republicans when both parties do the same and that the movie is way too “white man burden” coded.
Yes for real biggest issue with it, its basically a harris voters power fantasy lmao
