shrink your life
The word life is too broad, and the movie only talks about a little bit of superficial things. There is a cartoon in Japan, which is also about villains. The United States used to have such themes, which were purely commercial films.
This movie is developing in the direction of literary and artistic films, but the rhythm problem is very big and it is very procrastinating. In the first half hour, the portrayal of the protagonist was vague, and Matt Damon had no reason to shrink. His situation is not portrayed in depth, nor is his relationship with his wife involved at all. This narrowed the juncture between them, and his wife's abrupt back-off seemed unconvincing.
There is also a problem with the film. They only said that it can be reduced, but there is never a word or an idea that it can be reduced and returned to the normal size. Never had this problem and never had the idea. This in itself is insufficient in the design of the world view, and it is very one-sided.
The theme of the movie is confusing, and the director himself doesn't know where to focus. At that time, the film participated in the Venice Film Festival, and I read the news that the heroine's acting skills were well received. In my opinion, this is yet another one-sided view of Asians. Her behavior and language escaped, and her personality was also strange. She was narrowed down because of a parade, and finally smuggled into the United States to meet the male protagonist Paul.
When zoomed out, a dollar is equivalent to a thousand dollars. This is the biggest temptation, not the so-called to protect the environment. In that world, there is still a gap between the rich and the poor, and there are still people who can't afford to see a doctor and lie down waiting to die. It would be good to focus on this aspect, but the film is only a superficial performance without deep exploration.
There are also only a few mentions of the downsides of the downsizing. It is also a film that I did not want to understand. This kind of film does not have too many spectacles, but occasionally a few places are different in size relative to daily life, and there is not much about the contradiction between shrinking people and normal people.
In just a few words, the insects and animals that are enough to threaten people have been abandoned. This rule also limits the film to a very small range, and what is expected is not talked about, and what is talked about is just a stereotyped film. It's a pity that this brilliant idea has no problems with its execution except for the actors' performances, there are problems everywhere. The relationships of the characters are scattered and careless, and the interaction is more for the theme, which is boring.
