A good concept, but there are also problems that are difficult to implement.

"Shrink Your Life"

To be honest, first I have to affirm "Doraemon", then I think of "Journey to the West", and then I think of "Ramayana"...

Then I found out that the movie started with a real "science fiction concept". And this can indeed solve the problem of "population explosion and environmental degradation". However, even if you create a "contradiction" that your wife gave up halfway through her own shrinking, it can only point to "finding your lover again" and criticizing social contradictions (even if the population shrinks, human beings cannot be enjoyed by everyone, and still exploitation of some by others).

The film ultimately points to "survival does not lie in hardship, and human beings do not lie in survival, but in love". It feels like the writers can't do anything about it. 18.2.6
