Watch Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence break down their morning show scene from Adam McKay&#039;s Netflix Original film- Don&#039;t Look Up.

DON&#8217;T LOOK UP- Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence Break Down Their Morning Show Scene With a Take on Modern Media

With Academy Award winners like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence
headlining, the acting was always going to be top-notch. However, Don’t Look Up
talks about climate change
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-dont-look-up-is-now-a-climate-platform-take-a-step-and-join-the-community/],
but not everyone caught it because it was subtle. The movie takes a satirical
approach to an apocalyptic event.

When two Oscar-winning actors break down a movie scene, everyone is all ears as
they should be. So, we have got the breakdown of the scene, where Kate and Dr.
Randall tell about their discovery on the morning show “The Daily Rip”.

P.S. Major spoilers ahead.


THE MORNING SHOW SCENE BREAKDOWN

The scene involved recreating a live news studio set. Leonardo DiCaprio
explained that 15 different cameras were pointing at them from every direction.
If you got a parody vibe from the entire scene, then you have the potential to
be a director.



Adam McKay, the director, wanted the scene to be a parody of our culture, which
led to tons of improv. Leonardo revealed that everyone did improv, as there were
no rules. However, Jennifer quickly added that it was mostly Tyler who did the
improv.

Both the anchors deserve praise for their almost identical portrayal of actual
news anchors who try to keep the mood light.


LAWRENCE AND DICAPRIO TALK ABOUT THEIR CHARACTERS IN DON’T LOOK UP

When the two astronomers elaborate on their discovery, the news anchors ignore
their warning. This moment leads to Kate exploding and even dropping the F-bomb
on live TV. Jennifer gives us a brief character sketch of Kate, and how she
doesn’t sugarcoat things. Because Kate is so blunt, her actions usually attract
criticism, even though they are nothing but the truth.

DiCaprio then explained his character-

“And then Dr. Randall becomes this kind of Safe Haven. He makes everybody feel
like they’re in good hands.” Jennifer explains how Leonardo’s character has a
different approach. “I remember watching a lot of climate scientists trying to
articulate what’s going to happen to our planet in the sort of mainstream news
outlets.”


IS DON’T LOOK UP A REAL STORY?

Although the story seems plausible, it isn’t an actual story. Moreover, if the
story was true, we wouldn’t be alive, as Comet Dibiasky certainly eliminates
everyone on Earth. The only comet we witness is Halley’s Comet every 75 years.
