I had a bit of an issue with this too. And I'm not entirely buying that he's supposed to only have been seen as "hot" because of his position or that only dummies found him hot due to fame or whatever. I don't think it was supposed to be that deep. I think he was supposed to be a meek, yet charmingly attractive man who was getting more attention for his looks than for his message - except it didn't quite work because Leo looks like a very average dude. Yeah I know he's Leonardo Dicaprio one of the hottest stars in the world but realistically today he just looks like any guy you'd see at the grocery store.
I assumed that I must have missed the part where Dr Mindy breaks up with his wife because it seemed unlike his character to just jump headfirst into an affair, publicly, like that? I figured I must have been out of the room when him and his wife split or something. Then of course the scene where he gets confronted by the wife happens and I was like WAIT so he was still with her??!
I'll preface this by saying I am not from the United States. But my husband is from the United States and was in the United States Military. This part of the film was hilariously real. The government cuts every corner and is so wasteful, yet they put the responsibility on the average United States citizen to be conservative when it comes to waste and recycling and spending. Like it's entirely up to the average Joe to "save the world" but the massive corporations and military get a free pass to just be as wasteful and screw up the planet as much as possible.
