Christoph Waltz and Hong Chau discuss the profound message within Downsizing

Christoph Waltz, who played the villainous Blofeld in Bond film Spectre, speaks to promote his new film, Downsizing, in which he stars as a Serbian playboy who opts to be shrunk to five inches tall to help solve over-population.
He said comedy has its challenges as actors can overdo it at the expense of the film’s message. He said: “It’s more challenging… because that’s the pinnacle of the art to not disregard the depth or overdo the comedy at the expense of the deeper meaning.”
Dispelling any comparisons to Disney's Honey I Shrunk the Kids he said: “The difference is the shrinking here happens on purpose. It is scientifically founded and the intention is more than honourable.
“I admire people who can tell profound stories in a light and amusing manner because if you want people to pay attention it’s a fabulous vehicle to tell that in a light comedy form. And Alexander [Payne] really, really mastered this extraordinary feat.”
Waltz said he wouldn’t be keen to shrink like his character in Downsizing as “it would be useless because I’d still have a big mouth”.
Directed by Alexander Payne, the film also stars Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig and Hong Chau.

i dont get the bad reviews... i thought it was adorable and full of heart. And Hong Chau deserves an Oscar... I fell in live with her character before Matt Damon's character did
