Don’t Look Up: four climate experts on the
polarising disaster film
Não olhe para cima: quatro especialistas em clima sobre o filme polarizador sobre o desastre
Critics haven’t been kind to Adam
McKay’s eco-satire, but many climate experts are
lauding it.
Os críticos não foram gentis com a sátira ecológica de Adam McKay, mas muitos especialistas em clima estão elogiando-a.
Here four give their views
Rarely has a film been as divisive as
Adam McKay’s climate satire Don’t Look Up.
Aqui, quatro dão suas opiniões Raramente um filme foi tão divisivo quanto a sátira climática de Adam McKay, Don’t Look Up.
Although it has been watched by millions, and is
already Netflix’s third most watched film ever, the
response from critics was largely negative.
Embora venha sido assistido por milhões e já seja o terceiro filme mais assistido da Netflix, a resposta dos críticos foi amplamente negativa.
Many
found its story of scientists who discover an
asteroid heading for Earth a clumsy allegory for
the climate crisis, while others just found it
boring.
Muitos acharam sua história de cientistas que descobrem um asteroide indo em direção à Terra uma alegoria desajeitada para a crise climática, enquanto outros simplesmente acharam chato.
But many in the climate movement
have praised the film, and audience reviews have
been generally positive.
Mas muitos no movimento climático elogiaram o filme, e as avaliações do público foram geralmente positivas.
We asked four climate experts to give
their views on the film.
Pedimos a quatro especialistas em clima para darem suas opiniões sobre o filme.
Warning: spoilers ahead.
Aviso: spoilers a seguir.
Ketan Joshi: ‘The main character of
the climate crisis is absent’
Ketan Joshi: ‘O personagem principal da crise climática está ausente’
[…]
Fiona Harvey: ‘The role of the technoloon, played by Mark Rylance, struck a chord’
Fiona Harvey: ‘O papel do technoloon, interpretado por Mark Rylance, tocou uma corda sensível’
[…]
After 17 years of reporting on the climate
crisis, I doubted at first that the film had much to
tell me about the frustrations of communicating a
hypothetical catastrophe.
Depois de 17 anos de reportagens sobre a crise climática, duvidei a princípio que o filme tivesse muito a me dizer sobre as frustrações de comunicar uma catástrofe hipotética.
As the film’s scientists
first struggled to clothe their data in sober,
measured terms, then broke into swearing, armwaving shrieks about provable imminent
apocalypse, I nodded along.
Enquanto os cientistas do filme primeiro se esforçavam para apresentar seus dados em termos sóbrios e comedidos, depois irrompiam em xingamentos e gritos agitados sobre um apocalipse iminente e provável, eu concordava.
Yes, that’s what it
feels like, and no, no one listens, not until it is too
late.
Sim, é isso que parece, e não, ninguém escuta, não até que seja tarde demais.
Yet it was illuminating in unexpected ways
– something I’ve always struggled with is how
rational people can fail to grasp the scale of
climate breakdown, how we could leave it so late.
No entanto, foi esclarecedor de maneiras inesperadas – algo com que sempre lutei é como pessoas racionais podem falhar em entender a escala do colapso climático, como pudemos deixar para tão tarde.
As the film shows, it’s partly because vested
interests keep it that way, but it’s also just
because we’re human.
Como o filme mostra, é em parte porque interesses adquiridos mantêm as coisas assim, mas também é só porque somos humanos.
Believing in disaster
before it strikes is fundamentally not how we
work.
Acreditar no desastre antes que ele aconteça não é fundamentalmente como funcionamos.
The role of the techno-loon, played by
Mark Rylance, struck another chord. Cop26 was
not a failure, though on the surface that was the
obvious conclusion – it was more nuanced than
that.
O papel do tecno-loon, interpretado por Mark Rylance, tocou outro acorde. Cop26 não foi um fracasso, embora na superfície essa fosse a conclusão óbvia – era mais nuançado do que isso.
Soon after the Cop26 circus left Glasgow,
the danger of painting the outcome in such blackand-white terms became apparent, as wellmeaning experts concluded – in all seriousness –
as talking didn’t work, our best hope would be for
billionaires to bypass the UN and geoengineer
the climate from space.
Logo depois que o circo da Cop26 deixou Glasgow, o perigo de pintar o resultado em termos tão preto e branco se tornou aparente, conforme especialistas bem-intencionados concluíram – com toda a seriedade – que, como falar não funcionava, nossa melhor esperança seria que os bilionários ignorassem a ONU e fizessem a geoengenharia do clima a partir do espaço.
Because obviously the
answer to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the
atmosphere is to conduct a vast uncontrolled
experiment on the atmosphere.
Porque, obviamente, a resposta para um vasto experimento descontrolado na atmosfera é conduzir um vasto experimento descontrolado na atmosfera.

Nina Lakhani: ‘Jennifer Lawrence’s
character will resonate with many female
climate scientists’
Nina Lakhani: ‘A personagem de Jennifer Lawrence vai ressoar com muitas cientistas climáticas femininas’
[…]
How Kate Dibiasky, the postgraduate
student played by Jennifer Lawrence who
discovered the comet, is portrayed as an
unhinged hysterical woman, will resonate with
many female climate scientists and activists
whose crucial knowledge has been sidelined.
A forma como Kate Dibiasky, a estudante de pós-graduação interpretada por Jennifer Lawrence que descobriu o cometa, é retratada como uma mulher histérica e desequilibrada, vai repercutir em muitas cientistas climáticas e ativistas cujo conhecimento crucial foi deixado de lado.
The scene where her parents declare that they’re
in favour of the jobs the comet will provide will
resonate with millions of people, including me,
trying to deal with relatives who have bought into
political lies.
A cena em que os pais dela declaram que são a favor dos empregos que o cometa fornecerá repercutirá em milhões de pessoas, inclusive eu, tentando lidar com parentes que acreditaram em mentiras políticas.

Damian Carrington: ‘It highlights the
absurdity of staring disaster in the face, then
looking away’
Damian Carrington: ‘Isso destaca o absurdo de encarar o desastre de frente e depois desviar o olhar’
I loved Don’t Look Up, both as an
entertainment and as a climate crisis parable. But
the movie has been panned by many critics, with
the main charge being that it is heavy-handed,
blunt and too obvious.
Eu adorei Don’t Look Up, tanto como entretenimento quanto como parábola da crise climática. Mas o filme foi criticado por muitos críticos, com a acusação principal de que ele é pesado, direto e óbvio demais.
But that is exactly the
point.
Scientists have been issuing blunt
warnings about obvious dangers of global
heating for years and have been ignored –
carbon emissions are still rising.
Mas esse é exatamente o ponto. Cientistas têm emitido alertas contundentes sobre perigos óbvios do aquecimento global há anos e têm sido ignorados – as emissões de carbono ainda estão aumentando.
The film
perfectly skewers the key ways in which they
have been ignored: for short-term political
expediency and short-term corporate profit.
O filme aborda perfeitamente as principais maneiras pelas quais eles foram ignorados: por conveniência política de curto prazo e lucro corporativo de curto prazo.
In particular, the movie beautifully
portrays the incredulity of scientists that their
carefully constructed evidence can be dismissed
with bluster such as “we’ll sit tight and assess” by
leaders more concerned about today’s political
weather and a media more interested in the
minutiae of celebrities’ lives.
Em particular, o filme retrata lindamente a incredulidade dos cientistas de que suas evidências cuidadosamente construídas podem ser descartadas com fanfarronices como "vamos ficar sentados e avaliar" por líderes mais preocupados com o clima político atual e uma mídia mais interessada nas minúcias da vida das celebridades.
[…]
The point of the film is savagely
highlighting the absurdity of staring disaster in
the face, then looking away rather than acting. In
that respect, it is a triumph.
O ponto do filme é selvagemente destacar o absurdo de encarar o desastre de frente e então desviar o olhar em vez de agir. Nesse aspecto, é um triunfo.
