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 there is no miracle. The individual who is hit is unable to change the objective, and can only accept it subjectively and finally enjoy it - in this sense, the degree of horror is full. The transition from civilized society to savage survival is ingenious and natural, and the connection between the two is exquisite. The props are also quite realistic, and the scale and special effects are somewhat inconsistent, but considering the times, there is only admiration left. Ps. OW did not find a cameo.

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.
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?
