Dont Luck up résumé traduit qui résume tout

 This film is missed (nevertheless pleasant to watch) because it never manages to choose its way between 2 styles: the satirical or comic film (sometimes it is a real pochade when it comes to showing the US presidency, the TV , social networks,…) and the dramatic film on a major SF theme (a disaster that puts the survival of planet Earth at stake) with a very moving ending. Of course, it is quite possible to make people laugh and cry in the same film but it is very difficult to achieve and a great director (Kubrick, Forman, even Spielberg) might have succeeded ... Kubrick on the atomic bomb (Dr Strangelove) makes both smile and shudder ... Melancholia by Lars von Trier makes you think about many things concerning life and death, and the ending (of a rather breathtaking scary beauty) remains anchored in our memories years later! Of course I appreciate the satire of social media or TV celebrity journalism, the volatility of opinion and the criticism of the populist presidency. Di Caprio is good but not grandiose, the women are all very good, and I give a special mention to Mark Rylance who plays a particularly tasty mix of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. But the inability of the film to "connect" or put into perspective the drama, the fear, the dread which nevertheless exist (the beginning of the film and the last quarter of an hour) and the big Hollywood joke, surely more consensual , prevents it from being a great movie.
