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 ending also sublimates the theme.
The first scene is a life drama when the male protagonist is enjoying life normally.
The second scene is the various scenes of harassment from humans when the male protagonist is reduced to a human child.
The third act is the threat from nature that the male protagonist faces when he shrinks to the size of an ant.
The climax is the monologue after the male protagonist walks out of the window.

Although this film also has the nature of adventure, the male protagonist's new self-awareness is constantly awakening: when he shrinks to the size of a child, he hates everything and always complains-goes to the basement and expects Loice to save himself-in exploring and discovering new Hope, ready to go out - realized that I was trapped in a cage, ready to make a home in the basement - after the flood, realized that only you can control your own destiny - after fighting the spider, liberated physically and mentally, bravely walked out the window .
From the beginning to the end, it is a struggle between the identity consciousness as a "giant" and the identity consciousness as a "shrinking person".

Even in the face of this situation, he has to exist in nature, as a human being.
Two things at the end:
Warning about human harm caused by some by-products of scientific manufacture;
Compared with the vast universe, human beings can't be more insignificant, just like ants are to humans, ants can still shake a big tree, and humans don't have to be pessimistic, believe in their own strength and admit their existence.
