the premise of this movie be reveal on the dvd box . a textile worker develop a miracle fabric that doesn not degrade . but the movie fail to get on with it . instead it pad for 45 minute and noodling around a preamble before he make the big discovery . since audience do not benefit much from see a whiz kid figure thing out and it a strange choice represent the movie have successfully be prevent from engage any topic . once the fabric be discover and the movie too rapidly establish that both industry bigwig and and blue collar co worker want the invention squelch and leave the movie with just two flimsy movement while invent the chemical and and run from oppressor . i can not understand why anyone would describe this a comedy . the tone isn not funny or comical . it more like serious social criticism of the day represent that capitalism warp both supply chain and production . which in turn prevents innovation from reach and improve the world . yes and that probably true and but without some toy with an attitude towards that fact and the movie be simply an earnest argument . you will need an extremely broad definition of comedy to find any here . this be more like a british meet john doe ( meet nigel doe . ) .
