The name of the movie is Downsizing directed by Alexander Payne, release date
December 22, 2017. I really like the movie because it's taught me a lot about humanity.
This movie is about humanity's problems because of overpopulation and climate change
and global warming.

The movie about life problem and global problem, In the movie that i watch in
Bergen Norway Dr. Jorgen Asbørnsen and his fellow friend creating a solution how to
save the earth. Dr. Jorgen try is best until he success and create the solution and share
is discover to his friend Dr. Andreas Jacobsen. Five years later in Istanbul, Turkey they
had an event that encouraged people called Global Solutions, Human Scale and

alumni party with two of their batchmates Dave Johnson and Carol Johndon. Dave and
Carol share they journey and experience being downsizing. When Paul and Audrey got

decided to go to a seminar. They visit in Leisureland Estates and they amaze so that
they talk one of the staff how it's work and how much it cause and they surprise
because there hundred thousand dollars money will be converted to million dollars so
they decide to become downsizing. When they got home they set up a family and
friends gathering to inform them that they wanted to join in on downsizing. When they
were on the bus going to Leisureland Estates to undergo surgery one of them
downsized as if they were nervous and Paul said yes the old lady said don't be because
being one of them is great. When they arrive they undergo an agreement before they go
in for surgery. While they were waiting one of the nurses announced their names and
they were ready for surgery. After the successful surgery of Paul when he woke up he
find out he is in recovery room and one of the nurse approach him and give him snack
which Paul was surprised because it's huge biscuit's when he finally realize he
remember his wife and he called the nurse and want to talk his wife suddenly it's have a
phone called and it's is wife then his wife was crying and said she's afraid and proceed
to surgery cause she realizes she's not become happy when she is downsizing, so that
they fighting about their life. After they fight Audrey filed a divorce paper and Paul
signed it. How many days have passed since Paul had a job as a call center and he is
dating a girl but he is disappointed because the girl is not really into him. One night one
of his friends, Dusan invited him to a night party in which he saw the famous first baby
downsizing Ronni. He meant a girl and gave her medicine and flashbacks of all the
happiness and sadness moments. When he wake up Dusan laughed him cause he is
wasted when the time come the housekeeper/cleaner came and clean the house of
Dusan, while they talking each other Paul recognize one of the cleaner he follow it and
ask who is she and she is Tran Ngoc Lan, from Vietnam she is famous before she's not
downsizing. Paul insisted on helping Tran Ngoc to her foot but they were fighting
because she didn't want to and about a friend of Tran Ngoc who can't afford to go to
hospital. Tran Ngoc says yes but she wants Paul to help her friend first. So they have a
deal. Paul and Tran Ngoc ride a bus to go to the place of Tran Ngoc and help her friend
when they are going there Paul realizes how poor and hard to live being downsizing.
When the day pass Paul came back to the home of Tran Ngoc and he will fix the foot of
Tran Ngoc and he felt sorry for Tran Ngoc because her friend was died, while he doing
the foot of Tran Ngoc he accidentally broke the foot of Tran Ngoc that why Tran Ngoc
was angry and deal with Paul that all her duties Paul will help her. Paul was devastated
because he realizes it's hard to be one of them. When the day came Tran Ngoc goes to
the house of Dusan to clean it. Dusan was surprised when he saw his friend Paul
laughing. They talked and Dusan decided to help Paul out of that situation. Dusan talk
to Tran Ngoc that Paul will go with them in Norway for business matter but Tran Ngoc
want to come to see Dr. Jorgen Asbørnsen to give thanks personally for the letter he
gave. Dusan, Paul and one of his friends were surprised so they decided to go with Tran
Ngoc. When they in Norway Dr. Jorgen Asbørnsen and his wife share the truth about
downsizing to help the earth because earth was in danger. They go to the first town of
downsizing in Norway. After that night Paul and Tran Ngoc had one night stand. After
that how many day pass they got news that will have a flood and their area was one of
the affected. Paul want to go to the hole and she said to Tran Ngoc that they go in the
hole to save their live but Tran Ngoc don't want and she said to the friend of Paul his
plan and his friend was angry to him. When the time of evacuated Paul says goodbye to
his friend and Tran Ngoc when he enters the hole while walking he remembers all the
memories they have so that he decides to go back and he realizes that he loves Tran
Ngoc and his friend. They decide to go home to Leisureland Estates and continue their
life there. Tran Ngoc and Paul help the poor people there and live.

In the movie that I was watching I love the way they create an experiment to
solve humanity's gravest problem, because they want to help the earth and people with
their problem. The things that I don't want in the movies are the selfishness of the
people in downsizing and they only want happiness they don't see other people, also
they only see their own happiness.

The main idea of the movie is all about humanity's problem to save the planet but
having saved the planet they don't see what they are doing and they are being selfish.
Life is hard when you're alone like Paul he realizes that when he's not downsizing he
with his family but when he was downsizing he realizes life is hard being alone he goes
to date girls and having night party but when he know Tran Ngoc his life was changed
because he finally see what is real life. You must watch this movie because you have
learned about life and realize how important it is to decide before you do. You will love it
because it will change you and realize what is important in life.
