Idiocracy.
Idiocracy.
Real answer though, 2001 a space odyssey.
Idiocracy was honestly my first thought, but they wouldn’t have all the cultural nuance required to understand it. Someone else said Don’t Look Up, which I think would get through the irrationality a bit better.
Haha 2001 was my first thought, and Idiocracy was my second.
Idiocracy
It’s got what alien civilizations crave
You should show them my latest movie that I can’t promote right now.
They would be so confused, it would be hilarious.
Don’t Look Up - https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dont_look_up_2021
Sort of summarizes the total shit-show that current politicians and billionaires are responsible for.
Don’t Look Up
The depressing thing about that movie is that in some ways it was exaggerated like satire usually is, but in others they actually toned down the stupidity.
The premise is exaggerated, but the actions are clearly better than were handling things in real life.
The premise is exaggerated, and I’m not sure I buy that silicon valley is that influential, prepared or even reckless. However, the president in it is not nearly as out there as the real one she’s based on, and the scene near near the end where someone looks up and the mob turns on her was damn near immersion-breaking.
In real life, they would have at best dissipated and tried to pretend they were never there, or at worst beat up the guy that saw it because it’s a trick and he must be in on it. Mobs are not capable of humility of any kind, and cease to exist the moment it’s forced on them; that’s like mob psychology 101.

Idiocracy
Everyday idiocracy is becoming more and more real
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) - Literally telling aliens that we will fuck shit up.
Stalker (1979) - You can leave your garbage and we’ll think it’s treasure.
Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000) - Humanity is really just a bunch of idiots, stumbling through everything.

Wall-E. Sums it up pretty well
Shocked nobody’s mentioned ‘Mars Attacks.’
Fellowship, two towers, return of the king. Tell them it’s one movie showing how the littlest person can make the biggest difference.
Really?
I mean, a person can make another person’s day, sure!
But on real big societal issues? Gooooood luck. I’m waiting on Frodo to level the rich poor divide, to stop wars, and to stop and reverse climate change, but he’s crying in a pillow
Someone just needs to throw Elon Musk’s hyperloop in to the fires of a volcano.
Throw musk after it while you’re at it (no, not suggesting or advocating violence against him). Still though, it would solve just one amongst so so so many issues that it would be a drop in a bucket.
Schindler’s list. Yeah aliens. It’s like that. Go ahead and end us thx.
