From science fiction to philosophy is really unexpected. In the process of shrinking, on the one hand, it is compared with the mentality of women, and on the other hand, it is the wilderness survival in the face of animals. I have been waiting for how to recover, but in the end it turns out that we are tiny dust in the world. Hahahaha, I should pay tribute to my...

A movie mentioned in "Existentialism Cafe", not bad. Existence does not need meaning, but it does not mean existence has no...

Four and a half stars, not only reflecting the nuclear fear of the 1950s, but also with a strong philosophical flavor. As the protagonist changes in size, so does his patriarchal relationship with his wife. From chasing the house cat to surviving in the basement, the special effects are very realistic. The narration in the final scene elevates a B-grade sci-fi film to the status of an art film. When man shrinks to a certain proportion, human beings are no longer the same kind, and he can think...

After entering the basement, it is like opening the door to a new world, and the ending can be sublimated to the height of existentialism. The B-level films of the 1950s are really...

Totally unexpected anti-genre surprise! It combines elements of nuclear horror and science fiction, middle-class identity anxiety, the collapse of patriarchy, and philosophical thinking that points to the universe and human beings. Abandoning the routine was very thorough. After injecting the antidote, he thought that Scott would turn into a giant. His wife went into the basement and thought that he would meet again. It is a very realistic portrayal. The fate of despair comes for no reason and...

"This may be what the future of humanity will look like." Are we too big now? Perhaps the big man of 1.8 meters and the tiny dust belong to the same quality level to the endless universe. Humans have been looking at things from their own perspective until they have changed their consciousness - a consciousness that can only be derived from a change in...

Micro and macro, the debate between small and big
As a special effect film, from today's point of view, there are many flaws, some scenes of reducing people are too fake, and the proportion of reducing people and surrounding things is not completely coordinated.
But the overall flaws of the film are not concealed, it tells a good story, and the...

Think back
In this era of sci-fi special effects, let's go back to thinking.
In the face of those disasters, we all need to do this, we need to examine our own existence, we need to think about the meaning of life, and we need to find the courage to face setbacks.
Look at The Matrix, Inception... I can't tell...
The Incredible Shrinking Man quotes

Scott Carey: I felt puny and absurd, a ludicrous midget. Easy enough to talk of soul and spirit and existential worth, but not when you're three feet tall. I loathed myself, our home, the caricature my life with Lou had become. I had to get out. I had to get away.

Clarice: Maybe the best way to begin is to start thinking about the future.
Scott Carey: A future? In a world of giants?
Clarice: Hmm. I've lived with them all my life. Oh, Scott, for people like you and me the world can be a wonderful place. The sky is as blue as it is for the giants. The friends are as warm.
Scott Carey: I wish I could believe that.
Clarice: You've got to believe that, don't you?
