Quantum of Solace

How it started On top of the national political turmoil, the happenings on the second quarter of 2020 was something that we never imagined of except in the movie.  Who would have thought that the whole world would be shaken and stood almost completely still because of a virus! Yep, the Coronaviruses (65–125 nm in diameter) had cause nothing but chaos since the first outbreak was reported sometime in December last year. The case was first discovered in Wuhan, China (well at least it was what the scientists believed to be) and within a short period of time, it has become a major outbreak.   Despite of it becoming a pandemic, the virus itself was not entirely new.

Itulah, nama pun fiksyen kan. There's nothing wrong with that kind of film, but it's just not my cup of tea. Satu malam sambil mencari cerita yang menarik untuk ditonton di Netflix – ternampak filem Downsizing ini yang memaparkan gambar (antara) pelakon kegemaran saya – Matt Damon. Selalunya sebelum menonton apa-apa filem, saya akan baca sinopsis yang diberikan untuk mengetahui serba sedikit tentang jalan cerita, tapi kali ini auranya terlalu kuat (nak jugak pakai statement viral nih 😄) lantas saya terus pilih untuk menontonnya. What it is about? Dalam fikiran saya mungkin filem ini berkisar tentang kepayahan apabila syarikat melaksanakan downsizing . Rupa-rupanya telahan saya menyimpang jauh.
