Idiocracy
It’s got what alien civilizations crave
Idiocracy
Everyday idiocracy is becoming more and more real
Schindler’s List. Humans can be nasty, horrible, utterly evil. It’s all too common. But some of us will work to do good. Some of us will push back and do what’s right. There is evil in this world, but there is also goodness.
“Contact” for a similar reason. It’s a mix of all motivations, along with people’s general mistrust of each other.
Samsara for the same reason. It shows beauty mixed with terrifying images of human impact.

Sort of summarizes the total shit-show that current politicians and billionaires are responsible for.
Avatar. We will destroy habitats to get what we want.
“Us too! Anyway, we’re building this hyperspace bypass…”
“Its a bypass. You gotta build bypasses!”
The plans were filed with the local council ages ago, not our fault if you didn’t see them
The lorax is in that same vein lol
FernGully?
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.
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.
You should show them my latest movie that I can’t promote right now.
They would be so confused, it would be hilarious.

Let them think humanity is 99% buff oily badasses in speedos who will gladly fuck you up until their dying breath.
History of the world: part 1
The Big Lebowski
That’s, just like, uh, your opinion, man.
Arrival I think would be a great choice.
Honestly, Contact.
Life of Brian, no doubt
The meaning of life too
