Just Short of Perfect

The premis is great and acting is decent...

but after the big critisizem The hobbit got for using full height actoes to show smaller people... i would expect they would learn something in the industey

in here they use Leonardo which is 1.8 cm in real life...a very tall person to portrait a small person.

Rather then using actual smaller people is ..i dont want to say racist...but it leaves a lot to be discussed... i think its simply wrong to choose not to use smaller people.

They should be on a show just as much as any other people.

Also at times the cgi and camera angles they use to make him smaller looks very wierd...

despite that huge issue the premise is great and the force prespective they use (camera angles) to make him look short is trully nice.

But they should have used actual small people 100%. That is simply racist to not use a shorter person for that rule.

In 2021 we should be beyond that issue already.

I actually enjoyed this movie. I think it deserved a higher star rating. I'm not usually crazy about movies that are in a different language dubbed into English but this one was worth it. It was a cute story. I think it's worth watching.

The main idea for the script is kinda good if you think we are bringing to light prejudice and stereotypes we may carry even if we assume we are open minded. But, considering it is a remake from a recently Argentinean movie and the silly interpretation of Hassum that is not new, Hassum is just copying american way of doing cinema, this movie only serves as entertainment for Brazilian audience and nothing else. It is a pitty he, after some great hits cannot go further and beyond being more creative at Netflix. He should consider make a movie about his life, about why he decided to become thin.

Liked the most of the movie even if I needed to see the dubbed version.

But I think it was rude to just forget the gay wedding. I guess when straight love happens it's ok to just drop a gay wedding, even in the middle of the ceremony....

Speaking as a short male, i was quickly disappointed, having not known too much about the cast prior to watching this film, when i noticed that a lot of the scenes seemed off with their perspectives. I paused the film, and quickly did some searching and came to realize that the actor in the lead role, was of a relatively normal size... not saying anything bad about his acting, he did bring a charismatic flair to the role... however, this isn't Jerry Lewis in the 1950s churning out another kooky offering... they could have cast a perfectly suitable short male actor in this role... and perhaps delved a bit more into the more trying aspects of being short, instead of switching the gears and hamming it up as short person shenanigans...
