The movie also has an apocalyptic tone that sounds remarkably like a warning about what the Deep State has in store for us next.
A year after leaving the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama created a production company called Higher Ground Productions that would produce documentaries and high-end movies. Their most recent movie, though, seemingly seeks the lowest ground possible, for it appears to stoke racial hatred in the context of an apocalypse.
According to the Higher Ground website, Leave the World Behind throws a white and black couple together during a massive cyberattack:
A family’s (Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke) vacation is upended when two strangers (Mahershala Ali and Myha’la) arrive at night, seeking refuge from a cyberattack that grows more terrifying by the minute, forcing everyone to come to terms with their places in a collapsing world.
It’s not just that the Obamas produced the movie through their company. Barack was involved in writing the script:
While writing the script, Esmail consulted Obama, hoping that his perspective would “ground” the story and make it more realistic.
According to Esmail, Obama thought the script was fairly close to how a crisis would actually pan out in the real world.

he is part of the same Deep State that brought us COVID, I consider it creepy that he’s imagining for us what it would be like if there were another crisis in America. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
What leaves an even worse taste is the clip that’s emerged in which a black woman says to another black character, “I’m asking for you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially to white people – even mom would agree with me on that.”

Its a movie aimed at white people, because blacks damn well already know if its the apocalypse, they aren’t trusting other blacks to get them the resources!
I think it’s interesting on its own that a former President and his wife go into the movie production business after his years in politics. That’s not trustworthy.
If anyone reading this is still giving money to Netflix, stop right now.
“Don’t trust Whitey!” Sounds like a line I heard in THE JERK.
I bet Obama wrote the scene where the racist daughter asks Ethan Hawkes if he is fornicating his students because he looks like a privileged guy who always gets what he wants and the scene where Ethan confesses that he is a useless white man without his smart phone and computer. The contempt for the white man was palpable.
Eh, I also don’t trust white people, and it’s technically not The Apocalypse. Of course, I don’t trust black, brown, or yellow people either.
Well, he’s not wrong if you’re an urban black in an all-black pack under the apocalypse.
And running into zero would be better than winning the lottery yesterday.
If Hitler had a movie produced, where somebody said to not trust the Jew, we would have considered it a forerunner to his plans.
Fortunately, unlike Hitler, 0bama is a private citizen, not a head of state. And Biden is so senile he'd probably forget his orders and go off to have some ice cream and a nap.

.....
He is not a private citizen. He is a former head of state as well as current power as he is in his fourth term of office

Bammy served out 2 terms, plus Biden is effectively his third term so how do you get to "his fourth term of office"? Are you suggesting Trump was also Bammy's puppet??
Former head of state = not current head of state (and does not hold any other political position) = private citizen. Like Liz Cheney, 0bama can still give speeches and write books, but he no longer has a direct vote on bills passed.
Garbage produced by garbage. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
GIGO
No question the obama’s are Marxist Nationalist trash.
Obama’s people and Obama’s media and their machinations effectively cut power to the Trump term in office, stymied his programs and prevented a full and effective term with open and clear communication.
Therefore 4 terms...so far.
Direct vote HA!
He and his cabal effectively shape policies through their vast power. Behind the scenes is so much more effective.
Can’t really watch it if there ever was a cyberattack.

So following that logic W must have served a third term when GOP-led Congress blocked Bammy's appointment of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. In fact no president I'm aware of, apart from FDR, was able to accomplish everything he set out to do without significant opposition from Congress at some point. Serving as a check on the Executive branch's power isn't a freak problem that sprang up in 2016; it's what the Founding Fathers designed the Legislative branch to do in the Constitution. Yes, it's annoying when it's our president, but right now Congress and the Supreme Court are the only things standing between us and a Biden dictatorship. I certainly am not going to complain that Biden doesn't have unlimited power.
If the President wants Congress to go along with his plans, it's on him to find a reasonable compromise with them.
No I actually wasn’t referring to executive branch power in the sense that you are. I am referring to generals going behind his back to speak with Russians saying g that the military around him won’t support him. That things he wanted to do were slow walked or ignored by the permanent staff and other Obama holdovers that Obama had his spies in the Trump Whitehouse and actively worked against him with Clinton calling him illegitimate.
I understand how the three parts of government are supposed to work. But that requires a certain level of moral integrity in the participants.
