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 about problems in the macroscopic view of the universe.

A movie mentioned in "Existentialism Cafe", not bad. Existence does not need meaning, but it does not mean existence has no meaning.
The Incredible Shrinking Man quotes
-
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.

Scott Carey: My prison, almost as far as I could see, a gray friendless area of space and time, and I resolved that as man had dominated the world of the sun, so I would dominate my world.
