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 if their selling point is gorgeous stunts or peculiar ideas.

In contrast to this movie, the simplest plot, people can guess what will happen physically when they become smaller, but what really matters is the psychological change of the protagonist - he has been examining his own existence and thinking about the value of his existence and purpose.
So, he did not lose anything, but gained the truth of the whole universe.

The Incredible Shrinking Man quotes

  • Scott Carey: The cellar stretched before me like some vast primeval plain, empty of life, littered with the relics of a vanished race. No desert island castaway ever faced so bleak a prospect.

  • Scott Carey: A strange calm possessed me. I thought more clearly than I had ever thought before - as if my mind were bathed in a brilliant light. I recognized that part of my illness was rooted in hunger, and I remembered the food on the shelf, the cake thredded with spider web. I no longer felt hatred for the spider. Like myself it struggled blindly for the means to live.
