The film "Don't look up", a tragicomic satire by Netflix, on the urgency of global warming, was a hit during the holidays to the point of rising directly to the last place of the podium of the platform's biggest hits.
What becomes a new symbol of the fight for the climate?
With the film "Don't Look Up", which hit the shelves during the holidays, Netflix satirized on ecology.
It is quite simply the third biggest success recorded on the platform.

"Don't look up", the new spearhead of the ecological fight?
First there is this prestigious cast, therefore, Leonardo Di Caprio and Jennifer Lawrence, perfect in the role of two astrophysicists from Michigan who discover that a huge comet is heading straight for Earth.
They then try to alert mankind of the danger to come, but they are not taken seriously.
And this contempt is perfectly embodied by Meryl Streep, a sort of feminine Trump who, in the role of the crazy first lady of the United States, excels in her cynicism.
In the end, this astronomical parody is far more effective than all the alarming documentaries about the future of our planet.
A divine surprise for all environmentalists, the hashtag "Don't Look Up" is becoming a unifying slogan for a large majority of spectators.
