The film flavour of the decade will be collapse movies where capitalism continues undisrupted.

This has officially been kicked off by Don't Look Up.

#2 “Don’t look up” Movie thoughts

Just watched “Don’t look up” and it was harrowing and funny and harrowing.

The Satire hits close to the bone especially bearing in mind that the script was written before covid. The satire hits probably too close for some who will be turned off of the film immediately as soon as they see that a mirror is being held up to them. 

But nevertheless the message of the film is abundantly clear.  Personally, I can’t help but fell this film is an effort that has already arrived too late on the scene to be received in any real way. We are already so desensitised to the literal end of the world. And ironically that says more about the culture receiving this film than the film itself. 

I can definitely see how some would perceive it as a left wing “climate woke” orgy of a film and I want to be able to see if there were any subliminal critiques of the “middle of the road middle class liberal” in the film and maybe i would see the on a second run through.

Not sure how much more analysis i can do at this time.

What stayed with me was a certain clarity like what it might be like to be standing in the eye of the storm where the air is completely calm surrounded by thick stormclouds of fear and insanity. I felt with a certain animal like sense coming from my nervous system that we will almost certainly succumb to our own plague of misinformation and consumeristic distraction in the manner that this film portrays. 

Collapse Journal #1

OKay so. I just wanted to collect my reflections on collapse.  I will try and post updates and reflections as they come and may add a video or audio series to this blog.  Right now I just wanted to observe a couple of  things and log them. I think i can say I entered preliminary collapse awareness in January this year 2021 after listening to the first of many post doom conversations with Michael Dowd. I didnt buy what he was saying at first. I clicked on the video because he was talking with Richard Rohr and after clicking through a few more videos I started to put the pieces together and rrealised that i had uncovered something severe. I felt alone at first and stil do. But at first i felt extremely alone and felt that i would be very condescendingly responded to if i told anyone about this new awareness i had stumbled upon. Now i feel more relaxed but i think i am entering a new stage of collapse awareness.
