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 Sustainability Introduced by
Edvardsen Institute, Bergen, Norway, director Dr. Andreas Jacobsen they explain their findings to their
fellow doctors how it will help to the overpopulation, extreme climate change and weather events and the
devastating impact on food and water security which is called Humanity's Gravest problem. The solution

weight of 18 grams. Dr. Jorgen Asbørnsen and his wife was the first who use the solution and also he
introduce the 36 people who volunteered to be part of their journey also he introduce the first small baby
born he is little Ronni Nestrud. Paul Norris Safranek was in occupational therapy while he was in La Casa
Pizzaria watching about the downsizing of people. When he got home he brought food for her wife Audrey
Lustig Safranek who was stress because they child expensive. One night they have an 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 home they got a phone call from the bank their
loan application was denied and then 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.
