Comment on ‘It affects everything’: why is Hollywood so scared to tackle the climate crisis?

We got a ton of disaster movies made 10+ years ago, to name a few:
- Contagion
- Day After Tomorrow
- The Wave
- The Impossible
- San Andreas
- 2012
- …
And around the same time we got a bunch of dystopian movies, so it’s not like Hollywood haven’t shown what can happen.
I don’t think they want to make movies about current events, instead I think we get more movies about how humans will live years after a global disaster.

Yep, they are about half way to be rebooted. Except 2012 I can’t think of a good way of rebooting it without changing the title.

Every warning produced by artists ends up being a How To manual by fascists, so idk if it’s a good idea to continue, especially since the messages are lost on the masses.

Don’t Look Up was meant to be about climate change. But its depiction of tribalism and news media psyops was so good that everyone assumed it was about COVID, which had happened after the movie wrapped filming but before it released. If it had come out a couple years earlier the message would have been clearer, but then people also probably wouldn’t have resonated with it as much because most people don’t care as much about climate change as they did about the pandemic one way or the other at that key time.

Wait… People don’t realise that don’t look yo is obviously about climate change!?

Keep in mind it came out right around the same time that the first COVID vaccines were becoming widely available and the antivaxxer movement was kicking into maximum wackadoo mode.
Less than a month after DLU came out was when antivaxxer assholes from all over Canada drove to Ottawa to terrorize the citizens of the city in order to try and strongarm the federal government into getting rid of any vaccine and masking mandates for travel.

Yeah, of course science denial is science denial. There is going to be major thematic links…
But it’s so blatantly obviously climate is the primary focus there.
