"Shrinking Life" is a waste of creativity and waste of topics. It's a pity! Originally, it was envisaged that the film would be a humorous allegory or an in-depth discussion of environmental issues, but it was understated and ended in a religious way, which could not inspire the audience to reflect. In terms of character creation, it is another big failure. A protagonist who is aimless and repeats what others say. He is very unpleasant and slows down the pace. Even if the character begins to grow in the end, the movie has come to an end and the general trend is over. Such a creative subject, which should have been imaginative, was mediocre.
Let’s talk about character creation first. The actor Paul Savlanek (Matt Damon) underwent reduction surgery due to financial pressure, but was betrayed by his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) and became depressed for a while. For a movie that requires the male protagonist to lead the audience to explore around and open their eyes, he stays at home drunk, which not only makes people feel dragged, but also fails to resonate emotionally with him. His every move constantly wears out the audience's patience; He met the Vietnamese refugee Chen Yulan (played by Zhou Hong), and his personality began to change slightly. Unfortunately, he grew too slowly and did not realize until the end. At this time, the play was almost finished and he was ready to be on the staff list; the other two males The supporting roles Dusen Merkwick (Christoph Woz) and Conrad (Yudukir) also did not show their unique character charm. Obviously, the role modeling was not outstanding enough. These two supporting actors merged into one role. , in fact, does not affect the development of the plot.

Next, the discussion of the topic of "Shrinking Life" is not deep enough. Since the tone of this film is humorous and slightly warm, it is understandable that it does not present a strong sense of crisis of the destruction of the earth's environment and the lack of resources. However, in the first half of the film, there is a bar scene, briefly discussing the reduced human beings, with low environmental damage and low economic contribution to the world, should their citizenship rights be reduced? The film was spoken by a drunken man, allowing the audience to reflect on their own, but it did not discuss this issue at all, which made this paragraph seem redundant and invisibly distracted the focus of the issue. Then the film pointed out that some unscrupulous people use reduced technology to deal with political enemies or people of different camps. Well-intentioned technology has become a military weapon. Similarly, it also allows the audience to reflect on their own. This reduced technology is pros or cons. Divide the focus of the issue once again. Finally, after watching a large part of the male lead's depressed scenes, I finally cut into the theme of the film: the environmental problem of the earth. Through the professor's sincere passage, the core idea of the film was revealed, and the result was that Noah's Ark The religious model ends hastily. As the saying goes, "the drama is not enough, the ghosts and the ghosts are together." In short, there are three discussions in this film, which seem to be scratching the surface, and the strength is not strong enough to cause the audience to reflect after the show.
(The heroine Zhou Hong contracted a lot of laughs in this film)
To put it simply, the theme of "Shrinking Life" should be able to open up three perspectives and build a new realm, but unfortunately lost to a soft-hearted and unassertive male protagonist, coupled with the fact that the issue of lodging is too thin, this film is like a It's just tasteless, there is still a long way to go to say it looks good, but it's not a bad movie. If I really want to find some highlights, I think Matt Damon is still full of personal charm, and Zhou Hong, who plays the Vietnamese refugee Chen Yulan, has contracted many laughs in this film, which can be regarded as providing some entertainment. Finally, I commented on a sonnet:
The population explosion has depleted the resources.
There is only one home on the earth.
Scientists have new tricks and low risks. They
use new technology to shrink people into small ones,
but the protagonist's wife broke her vow and
lost her life. He went to the villain's Peach Blossom Land alone. From then on, he was
boring like a walking dead . His
life was empty and empty without audience . However, it uses the great flood of the Bible to round it off. Strictly speaking, this film is not too bad, and it is considered average if you try to watch it.
