In the movies the evil Presidents have usually been generic characters not specifically identified with one particular person. In "Don't Look Up" there are really no similarities between President Orleans (Meryl Streep) and Donald Trump but you can't watch the movie without feeling that it is specifically about Trump.
He has forever changed the way we will look at Presidents.
BTW "Don't Look Up" was just "meh". It tried to be too serious and too funny at the same time.
Agreed. I fast forwarded thru some parts of it, way too long imo.
I think it was not only taking a satirical shot at an incompetent political leader during a crisis (covid, climate change, etc.) ie Trump. But also taking a shot at the influence big corporations/industry have as well while ignoring scientists.
