As they go inside, God himself appears and says “my child, you have lived your life seeking answers, as misguided as your searching has been. Worry not. You are safe here, and I am ready to answer any questions you might have with perfect, absolute truth.”
“I understand. I suppose I have one question that sits in my mind the most, and would bring me the greatest relief to finally hear the answer. My lord… Is the earth flat?”
God shakes his head. “No, it is not flat. It is a globe.”
“Holy shit, they got you too? How high does this thing go?!”
When they do the experiments that prove the earth is round and are like “I wonder what we did wrong how can I explain this?” It made me understand politics better.
it got bombed, but “don’t look up” did really well with this idea, too. my favourite part has to be the thing at the end, but i don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
there’s also something else that the film exposes that i didn’t consider. these are all misfits of sorts, and their groups - as ridiculous as they are - provide them with friends, community, support… makes you think about some religious institutions and how much they share in common.
