Downsizing

After finishing the Netflix series Bodies, I just watched Downsizing last night.

I enjoyed it but it didn't go where I thought it was going to go. It had some funny moments but wasn't much of a comedy that kind of turned into a social commentary on classism that developed into a love story and a man finding some real purpose in life with something akin to a doomsday cult thrown in along the way.

I'm pretty pissed with YouTube's new no ad blocking BS but here's the trailer:

I am halfway through "Bodies".

"Downsizing" was nothing like I thought it would be. 

I agree that it was all over the place, but it really made me think. 

Growing up as a military brat, being in the military, and traveling a lot though work, I know what it is like to find yourself suddenly as stranger in a strange land, and having to team up with a bunch of people that you don't know, didn't choose, and don't have a choice, but you 'have" to make it work.

"Downsizing" really had me thinking about not just the possibilities for our future on this planet, but about how much people don't change throughout generations. Nature is what it is. We can make excuses about color, culture, religion, but if we all looked alike, worshipped the same, lived under the same rules, believed the same, we would still end up following the same path we have followed from the beginning of time, and will always end up in the same place we are standing my today.

We are all a stiff necked people that can't seem to learn vicariously.
