It’s neither subtle nor particularly funny, but Downsizing deserves points for the sheer uniqueness of its take on the subject.īong Joon Ho, the revered Korean filmmaker whose latest film Parasite swept the Oscars last year, has made no secret of his environmental ideology.
There’s a lot of plot here – rather too much, you could say – and Downsizing’s gentle suburban satire quickly careens into an exploration of wealth inequality and environmental apocalypse. One of the highest-profile Hollywood films to tackle the climate crisis overtly, Alexander Payne’s Downsizing (2017) saw Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig shrunk down to micro-size as part of a new technology fad. FernGully is a great example of environmental messaging pitched predominantly at children an ecologically sound fable with voice performances from stars including Robin Williams, Tim Curry, Pamela Aldon, and plant enthusiasts Cheech and Chong. The spirits and animals of the forest must defend their home against loggers, and a polluting force known as the Hexxus. FernGully (1992) is set in a mystical Australian rainforest and tells the story of a group of fairies who welcome a young logger into their midst.
