Corrected entry: Paul gets put to sleep before the shaving process yet his wife doesn't? No consistency since she somehow opted out of the shrinking procedure mid shave. Wouldn't she be asleep too?
Downsizing (2017)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Alexander Payne
Starring: Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau
Character mistake: When they are having the going away party for Paul, "leisure" is spelled wrong on the cake.
Drunk Guy at Bar: Can I get a normal-sized beer for a normal-sized guy?
Question: #1 I have always wondered about this movie. The sea captain Konrad obviously had his boat either shrunk or completely rebuilt small, so why are most people in leisure land stuck with using the shared community vehicles? I wouldn't want to have to share a vehicle with all of my neighbors. #2 Why are the people from the original colony in Norway going underground long before they have to. The movie made it sound like people still had many years before the end of humanity, why not just wait till last minute?
Answer: Regarding Question #2: The Norway experiment wasn't about saving humanity at the last moment. It was taking proactive steps early on to save the planet before it reached the tipping point and minimizing humans' negative impact by reducing pollution and waste, conserving resources, etc.
Correction: Paul, and all the guys seen, gets his head and eyebrows shaved BEFORE getting the injection and being put under. Audrey changes her mind before they finish shaving her eyebrows, when she wouldn't have been put under yet.
