Mars Attacks 2021
It's weird that this film reminds me so much of Mars Attacks,but not in a good way. In that film, Tim Burton poked fun at American society with the backdrop of an alien invasion. What we mocked in 1997, has come to pass today.
In the time period between 1997 and 2021, our culture has been dumbed down to the point where satire no longer works. Where do you start? Our fixation on celebrity culture, a media that no longer engages in serious debate,virtual enslavement to social media and our phones, our willingness to discard science, our celebration of ignorance and the poor quality of our political leaders. We even have CEOs of tech companies who have almost god like status.
