As an outlier in society, a topic of media hype, and his wife's burden, Shrinking man is at a loss and has difficulty accepting his existence. The encounter with the dwarf girl healed his sense of loneliness, but then the truth of continuing to shrink ends it all. Humans are social animals, and Scott above is still trying to establish and maintain connections with others, but everything falls apart when he falls into the basement. His first belief was to wait for his wife to find and rescue him, for which he needed to do everything possible to survive. The film here shows a very marvelous imagination, and Scott makes full use of the wisdom and ability of people as tool makers. During this period, he realized that other people have a world that humans have conquered, and he wants to conquer the world in which he lives, and he is completely different from other humans. The night his wife moved out, Scott didn't take his last chance, so the first one was shattered. At this time, his belief became survival, which is a more fundamental human instinct, no different from that of a spider, and he stimulated the potential of physical strength and intelligence for this. After defeating the natural enemy and winning the cake, Scott's survival instinct was satisfied, but it seemed to be boring. Climb out of the basement, the moonlight pours. He gained physical freedom, but faced a wider unknown. Looking up at the Milky Way, he suddenly felt that there was no difference between the great and the very small. Even if it was as small as a speck of dust, his existence itself had meaning. As a result, he completely accepted his existence. In the process of watching a movie, when you take on the role, you often feel downright terrified and helpless. The first is the fear of losing social connections, being the only one in a species. Then there is the fear of withdrawing from contemporary society and returning to the primitive jungle, where survival is threatened. If according to Maslow's model, the lowest level of physiological needs can be met at most, and all others are deprived, perhaps Scott transcends the third level and directly achieves self-realization? The end of the film is anti-routine, but the turn to philosophy is intriguing, and it seems that there are some reasons. Make high. Scott will keep getting smaller until he returns to nothingness, but isn't everyone else the same destination? In this case, let's have fun with the survival instinct of animals and the unique wisdom of human beings, and do what you can do.
