Résumé sur learningapps :

The document is a comic “disaster type” movie.

The scene takes place in the USA ( we can see New York City and the white House in Washington DC )

It features scientists, politicians, journalists and a businessman, but the characters are very caricatural.

It’s about the discovery of a giant comet that will destroy the earth.

The main problem is that people don’t take the news seriously . The way they react is really caricatural as well.

To sum it up, the movie is a caricature. The comet represents the global warming disasters that will happen. The producer
wants to make us think about the dangers of global warming and criticize the lack of action from the politicians.
