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

  • 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?

  • 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.
