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. Yet, 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.
