Review of The Midnight Sky (2020) by Newnewamsterdam — 28 Dec 2020
As a strong believer in the coming eco disaster and climate change, and a strong non believer in Woke politics, this movie gets it wrong, as Clooney as a character, actor and director always does. Clooney has always been all about the elitist Hollywood way of explaining problems, and loves symbolic empty causes and gestures as he showed with his Darfur campaign in the past.
The Midnight Sky is overacted, over dramatized and misses the real point about either actual human solutions to eco problems (stopping cuddling and over population for starters ) and makes a Hollywood drama out of surviving a potential disaster, where as reality will be neither Mad Max nor Clooney drama but just tough real problems like running out of clean water, or resources or dealing with all or tech and techno fixes disasters.
Clooney is the true salon-socialist or Hollywood democrat, and less a real progressive then he is truly old Hollywood. Monuments Men was probably an even bigger trainwreck.
