The director of “Don’t Look Up” is throwing red balls by releasing a parody advertising clip attacking the American oil company Chevron. Pestilence and blood.
Adam McKay strikes a powerful chord on Netflix between brutal satire, bitter humor and disarming realism, highlighting the absurdity of the modern world, fake news and social media attention, all in general indifference or less polite to the future of humanity. Deeply committed to the environment, McKay drew a clear allegory for the ongoing climate crisis, the devastating consequences of which are being measured every day.
The person concerned is not the disarming type, on the contrary. He recently hacked a parody clip promoting US oil company Chevron; The second oil company in the United States after ExxonMobil and the sixth in the world after BP, Shell, Sinopec and PetroChina.
Since its launch, it has been a huge hit on Twitter, with over 5.5 million views and over 600,000 views on Youtube.
Result ? Bloody and frozen. began its false advertising with a lavish catalog of images, which Terrence Malick would not deny, with a soothing and dishonest speech (read by McKay) based on “At Chevron we believe that nothing is more precious than life”Children laugh and play on the grass…
The turn suddenly becomes violent around the middle. The honeyed voice, without changing tone, also recalls that “The most precious form of life is that which is dead, compressed for millions of years in rock until it miraculously becomes oil.
Oil that serves “That a super cool tank can blow a house into the ground, or businessmen can fly 3,000 miles for dinner or…
It doesn’t really matter. “After all, we at Chevron aren’t mad at you and your weird kids and your perverted dog. Chevron is actively killing you day in and day out.” and struck as the final uppercut : “This pub is also about Exxon, BP, Shell all the media and rotten politicians who are changing the future of the planet from oil reserves to dirty money”. We can’t wait to see or hear Chevron’s possible counterattack on this damning false ad.
