Don't Look Up. (mini-spoiler) This movie broke me.

11. Made me so sad

I did shed some tears towards the end. I think mainly because it hit so close to the truth--that the people that are trying to do something to solve our big problems can't get anywhere due to the people in power being roadblocks. As you said, it is tragic and there is SO much to lose. All of the amazing non-human things on the planet, from plants to animals that are basically at our mercy and potentially will be lost. Many humans can see it and what needs to be done. But sadly, tragically, the ones that have the power and money are more interested in vanity projects or self enrichment and power than working to save the day, so to speak.

The film IS in your face and unsubtle but I think it could only be that way to make a dent in the attention span of so much of the audience today. Subtlety is lost on humans today in my opinion, or a large number of us. Sigh. But this is definitely worth watching and I hope it does get seen by a wide audience.

(I looked at this mostly in regards to global warming rather than covid. At least if a pandemic made humans extinct, nature would still be able to remain and probably flourish without us.)
