jesus I couldnt get past the cringe to the content .. youtube wasnt made for me I guess

I just finished watching this movie and came to KZbin in an attempt to understand what I just watched. I honestly feel cheated and would like my time back.

I thought the message was going to be, 'it doesn't take other worldly sci-fi tec to change your life for the better'. Because, he does shrink, and ends up in the exact same situation as when he was big, down the classist, American social structure. Only when he visits Norway, does he see the potential to live in a self sustainable community, free of superficiality and class division. But then he just fucks all that off and lives back in his artificial hell.

I’ve been playing grounded on the PlayStation recently and honestly that’s the only reason why I watch this movie. I like the idea of little people but I’m not sure what this movie was trying to do.

Where is It Nit Pix when we need them the most. Come home Nit Pix, we need you

TL;DW They didn't actually shrink Matt Damon, he's actually normal size the whole movie but just pretending to be small.

. They could've made this a comedy where when someone downsize they still have to participate in regular society and all the funnies that happens when big and small people interact, like they always have to stand near a tack so people don't accidentally sit on them. You could even keep the plot point of Matt Damon's wife not going through with it and have him fall in love with a big person. There's no reason anybody needed to shrink in this movie and it was so weird about it's messages

Dude. This whole thing was really funny.

I liked the movie

10:49. This is the reason Toy Story 4 is a bad Toy Story film for me. As a film on it's own, I forgot it exists. Lol

you’re acting like cinderella started this off but it is literally the antithesis of everything that is wrong with the other modern remakes

If it’s SOOOOOOO realistic, where are the lion testicles, JOHN? 😂

I loved it

The worst part was that they didn't even try to make most objects look like they were small except for the flower and his cell phone. Like everything looked normal size. In a small world, items would look very different. Even things like carved wood, or laminate flooring or carpet would look way different. Door knobs and hardware, and eyeglasses everything would have been supposedly made in the normal sized world. I mean, i literally saw those white plastic lawn chairs that everyone had growing up inside the ghetto. Like did someone just create and tiny exact replica of every item? No frickin way. Its like they didn't even try at all to form the illusion. The movie didn't even need to have shrunk people at all, it could've told the same dumb story without shrinking at all. It's like someone ad this storyline that was too boring, and so they just added the whole shrinking thing to spice it up.

Andy was also very bad at impressions, so, it tracks

Anyone know what happened to this KZbin channel?

Super late since I'm only watching the movie now but I think it would have done better if it didn't market itself as (and try to be) a comedy

Downsizing intrigues me because of how bad and dissappointing it was. It really amazes me that the director could not see it. I wonder whether the (brilliant) cast had an idea after production but before realise, that this was a terrible movie. What is bad for movie watchers is that it’s difficult now for anybody else to make a movie (even a good one) about people downsizing to have more resources, because it is going to feel like they stole the idea. (In reality, at least breeding smaller humans, has been a topic of philosophy before). What we needed was a Back to the Future type of movie that explores the implications of the tech at every corner. In that case, not only the movie, but the whole trilogy became a classic. Imagine of Downsizing was made the same way. It just one example of how excessive quest to appear virteous on socio political messaging can destroy the human story.

I only watched it coz I like miniature stuff, still I got disappointed after the first 1/3 of thr movie.

Epitome of twat 🤣🤣🤣

I really hated this movie, it was good up till Paul downsized then it went downhill fast and by god what was that ending

Where are these guys?? Their videos are hilarious

That Palestine Israel comment did not age well 😭😭

The thing for me is the direction of the film is leagues above the show despite the issue of condensing 3 books into one 90 minutes. I wish they did 2 books per film and made it a franchise with the same mood as the film. Jude Law as Lemony Snicket with the voice over is just perfect and the visual storytelling really does it for me. I enjoyed the series well enough but never made it past the first season. Just by watching this video and comparing the two adaptations visually, the Netflix show is way less aethetically pleasing and lacks that dark moody vibe that I feel is essential to the spirit of the book series.

Andy Kaufman was a method actor. Carrey is but a simulated method actor.

🐓 🐓

The Ranch is great

Rest in Piece cube man, you were a good villain.

I will say, at least the girlfriend/engagement thing is at least he did it in Charles Augustus Milverton in the original series.

Other interesting changes. Simba goes back to Nala before heading back, after seeing Mufasa in the clouds. Also, when Scar admits what he did, the lionesses don't attack until Saraba says 'lionesses, attack!'. Also, Simba doesn't hug Rafiki, showing how much he has matured since finding him irritating. Also Simba's climb at the end is shortened, and less dramatic, but it's symbolic of what he's achieved and how far he's come.

I went to go see this movie in theaters with my grandparents and little brother. My grandparents praised this movie for being “real”, meanwhile, my little brother fell asleep until the end of the movie.

this BS validates Seinfeld's 'woke destroying comedy' comments. Don't understand the mechanics of the creative experience of embodying another human? Doesn't matter, dismantle it with a pseudo-morality spanner. Forget attempting method acting for attention, or acting, or even comedy, just criticise on KZbin, it's way easier. You've missed a massive level of psychology between 'conscious' and 'supernatural', with an incomplete map you've jumped to a juvenile assumption. You're no expert on psychology or creativity.

I wonder how he's going to react to the Mufasa: The Lion King trailer?

this is so funny and I love it!

I think it is easy for us to judge someone like Carrey for his over the top antics, but can you imagine having to try to play Andy in all his levels of opaquery? For anyone who takes their work seriously this would flip many of us out, I can assure you.

I’m a huge Dark Crystal fan. I’ve never seen Labyrinth. But I do own a Fushigi ball.

No one cares about your grandpa shut the hell up

"Videogames aren't particularly well known for their storytelling capabilities" As a fan of multiple RPG games you have just attacked me on a personal level

This film disappointed me so much. It could've been a great comedy movie (Kristen Wiig threw me off) in a sci fi setting - could've been like truman show. It took a turn into bad political activism film, which i didn't ask for

Wow three years since they've uploaded. I still giggle remembering the Friday the 13th review

Yes

What happened to my boys???

I didn't like his performance as Andy

this is effectively what would happen if you gave mgk the lead role of an eminem biopic.

Comparing Jim Carrey’s Count Olaf to Neil Patrick Harris’ is like comparing a Lamborghini to a Volvo: one will blow your hair back and the other is safe.

Let your most replayed moments be your most heeded feedback: spot on critique, shit jokes.

I miss Sideways

Restrictions on writing have been removed. The creators are feee to tell the story they want to tell, exactly how they want to tell it. And you’re complaining about that?

Bad movie. I hate it.

Jim Carrey probably did a better job then anybody else would do.
