When I about had it with this movie I went to this very app and decided to check out other people’s thoughts on it, but not the wave of bad reviews I knew where there but of the five start ones. I am convinced that there are some people who will only see what they want to see.
In the words of the internet
“Downsizing isn't based on a book, but it feels like it has been adapted from one, poorly.”
I just have a lot of questions:
Why does the bureau exist?
If they’re not quite human why do they care about human events, considering they seem powerful enough to ‘adjust’ them?
What was the purpose behind this movie needing to be made?
…
It seems to me that this story should have stayed a short story. At the end of the writing leaving the reader with enough information to ponder the ideas presented to them. Then move on. However, the filming and blowing out of the runtime to almost 2hrs is like taking your sweet grandma’s checks and giving it a vigorous shake. Lol
Rian Johnson’s films have a tendency of being good in the moment but even better when you remember it.
The last 10 minutes of this movie is so beautiful. I found myself completely empathize with every character involved. It’s so suppressed but froth with so much emotion and conflict and acceptance.
