Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Downsizing (2017) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
So we start as the with an introduction to the scientist testing out the Downsizing, then we are introduced to the first to be shrunk. When we first meet Paul, he is looking after his mother a task which has taken up much of his life and has made him make decisions in life.
Downsizing isn’t an effect-laden film as you would think from the trailer, it seems like any other movie, there are several memorable moments, such as Christoph Waltz‘s character, Dusan Mirkovic, who lives upstairs from Paul, Waltz’s character certainly brings some comedic moments to the film to lighten it up when needed. Joining Waltz is Udo Kier who plays Konrad who both visit the original Downsizing team in Norway from time to time.

I've never read anything written by this author so I picked this book based on the description. I'm happy that I was able to read it as I found it to be a beautifully written story.
Benjamin is sent to Norway to work on his grandparents farm after some reckless behavior gets him into trouble. He's a young man dealing with his sexuality as no one knows that he is gay. Once he gets settled in and begins working side by side with Even who is employed by Benjamin's grandfather he starts falling into a routine while secretly fantasizing about this gorgeous eye candy. Unbeknownst to Benjamin, Even has his own secrets and demons. The characters are strong and believable. The use of Spanish and Norwegian words in this story line were excellent and it was a well-rounded read.
I found myself laughing and at times crying but most of all I loved the emphasizes on family and even though they aren't always perfect or always accepting, they are truly an important part of our lives. My only gripe is that the cover should be more appealing.
