The Incredible Shrinking Man is a 1957 American science fiction film directed by Jack Arnold based on Richard Matheson's 1956 novel The Shrinking Man. The film stars Grant Williams as Scott and Randy Stuart as Scott's wife Louise. While relaxing on a boat, Scott is enveloped by a strange fog. Months later, he discovers that he appears to be shrinking. By the time Scott has reached the height of a small boy, his condition becomes known to the public. When he learns there is no cure for his condition, he lashes out at his wife. As Scott shrinks to the point he can fit into a doll house, he has a battle with his family cat, which leaves him lost and alone in his basement, where he is now smaller than the average insect.
Robert Scott Carey, known as "Scott", is on vacation with his wife, Louise, when a strange mist covers him. Six months later, he notices that his clothes are too large, suspects he is shrinking, and seeks medical advice. At first his doctor denies that Carey is shrinking. Later, the doctor confirms that he is shrinking with X-rays and refers him to a medical research institute. The institute determines that Carey's exposure to the mist, combined with his later exposure to a pesticide, rearranged his molecular structure, causing him to shrink. Carey tells Louise that in light of his predicament, she is free to leave him. Louise promises to stay, as Carey's wedding ring falls off his finger.

Carey's condition makes him a national curiosity. Media attention forces him into seclusion inside his home. Advised to sell his story, Carey begins a journal of his experiences. An antidote is discovered, arresting his shrinking, but doctors warn him that he will remain three feet tall for the rest of his life unless something is found to reverse his condition. Emotionally broken, Carey meets Clarice, a carnival worker and dwarf, who is exactly his height. Clarice encourages Carey, and he is inspired to continue his journal. Later, he notices he is now shorter than Clarice and dejectedly runs home.
Carey encounters much hardship navigating his basement. The water heater bursts, but when Charlie and Louise come to investigate, Carey is too small for them to hear his screams for help. He battles a large spider while finding food and shelter. He ultimately kills the spider with a straight pin and collapses in exhaustion. He awakens, small enough to escape the basement through one of the netting squares of a window screen. Carey accepts his fate of shrinking to subatomic size. He is no longer afraid, concluding that no matter how small he becomes, he will still matter in the universe because God will know he exists.
Matheson scripted a sequel, titled The Fantastic Little Girl.[9] The film has Louise Carey certain that Scott is still alive. She returns home and finds herself shrinking and is injected with a new cure.[56] The script also featured Scott in his microscopic world where he encounters strange eel-like creatures.[56] The script was 43 pages long and described as inferior compared to the original film by author Bill Warren.[56] Matheson said that, since the original film made "a lot of money", he was unsure why the sequel was not developed past the script stage.[56] The script in its entirety was published in the 2005 book Unrealized Dreams.[56] The reluctance for a home media re-release was due to Universal's intention for a pseudo-sequel. This included John Landis developing, writing and directing The Incredible Shrinking Woman, which was cancelled after the budget was found to be too high. It was later revived by Jane Wagner.[53] Arnold said he "hated" The Incredible Shrinking Woman, declaring the special effects weak and adding there was "no point of view...the major fault is that it's not a comedy even though they tried so hard to make it funny".[53]
The change of gender from man to woman significantly alters issues in interesting ways. Instead of a loss of potency Pat Kramer, the incredible shrinking woman is losing her presence. Men are saddled with a gender imperative to perform and succeed and so they fear failure. Women are told to defer their needs and be submissive and so Pat fears that she, in fulfilling her gender imperative she will so diminish herself that she will actually disappear.
I've revealed many personal details here, but the other day I discovered something I didn't much want to share. I am shrinking. During a routine test of my bone density, a nurse backed me up against a wall and used a built-in device to measure me.
5. Acceptance. Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. It's a fact. I stand five feet, five and a half inches tall. Case closed. Look on the bright side. I've wasted the last three days trying to figure out something to say about Alpha Male Disease and its female counterparts, Obsessive Shopping and Shoplifting. I kept getting stuck on the appalling banality and shabbiness of Weiner's behavior. Nobody needs to be told more about that. Maybe I can get a column out of my shrinking. I know! I'll find that movie poster. And then, in the comments, readers will tell me that it's better to shrink than to send random women on Facebook cell phone photos of my body. Especially the way it looks now.
And this shrinking field for male aspiration seems to be tempting many to forego IRL altogether in favour of glory in the simulation. A growing number of reports document the phenomenon of young men dropping out of everything - real-world ambition, family formation, the works - preferring simply to make ends meet and focus their energy only on the simulated pursuit of honour via gaming.
a beautifully austere and absurd early, atomic-age anxiety sci-fi body horror movie realized with a real sense of physical struggle/danger via jaw-dropping analog fx survival setpieces (arnold expertly deploys a combo of forced perspective, compositing and production design which genuinely make you believe grant williams is going toe-to-toe with various enlarged objects) that eventually give way to richard matheson's grander, more despairing, almost cosmic existentialism. the tone of the ending i think is supposed to be tinged with optimism but after spending so long dealing with every minute struggle of our shrinking protagonist, watching him come to terms with feeling like he no longer has any purpose or place in the world (by accepting a new form existence) still felt pretty damn dark and lonely.
Starts with a simple, funny high-concept premise and spins it into surprisingly dark and philosophical places. The early scenes are especially impressive in their subtlety, Carey's fears that he may be somehow shrinking call to mind cancer or wasting disease - nothing funny about that.
As a result of coming into contact with an unknown type of radiation and later exposure to an insecticide which rearranges his molecular structure, Scott Carey, portrayed by Grant Williams, commences shrinking.
Dutch Design Week 2013: Dutch artist Arne Hendriks proposes shrinking the human population to an average height of 50 centimetres as a way to reduce the amount of food and natural resources we consume.
One of the most rewarding results of our shrinking would be the overwhelming and sustainable abundance of the natural and cultured environment. We would in fact shrink into a world of abundance. Renewable energy produced today would be more than enough to satisfy our demands. One tomato will make a decent soup and one chicken will feed a hundred. Redesigning the already built environment would take all of our imagination and inventiveness. Up to 95% of the cities could be recycled, condensed, 're-wilded', or just left as a cultural and material resource for future generations. The Incredible Shrinking Man calculated that at 50cm the entire world population would be able to live in the six largest agglomerations, Tokyo, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Mumbai, Delhi and New York/Newark - leaving the rest of the world empty, or turned into agricultural lands. This redistribution of the human race would ask us to think of our relationship with the planet in ways unimaginable before.
Asian AnimationĀ Boonie Bears: The Big Shrink centers around Logger Vick attempting to use a Shrink Ray on Briar and Bramble to stop them from stopping him in his attempts to cut down trees. Vick does succeed in landing a shot on the bears, but only when he himself was near them, putting all three of them at heights shorter than grass blades. They subsequently have to work together to find a way back to normal size. Flower Fairy: In Season 2 episode 39, a fairy casts a magic spell that inverts the sizes of the main characters, causing An'an and her human friends to become small while An'an's fairy companion Kukuru grows to the size of a normal human. An'an and her group find that they've been shrunken to the point that they're smaller than an earthworm, as they encounter one on the ground. Happy Heroes: In Season 5 episode 47, Doctor H., who is being mind-controlled by Big M., uses a shrinking spray on the heroes, which also gets on Big M. and Little M. by accident. The three episodes following it form a short Story Arc about the heroes interacting with a bunch of ants in an ant village. Lamput: In "Shrunk Doc", the docs use a shrink ray to make Lamput tiny. A bump during the drive back to the lab causes the ray to shrink their vehicle; Lamput is still inside the car and drives it to evade his pursuers. Motu Patlu: In episode "Chote Chote Motu Patlu", Motu and Patlu accidentally get themselves shrunk by Dr. Jhatka's new shrink ray. The two spend the episode trying to get others' attention so they can return to normal. There are several instances of this trope in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. Wolffy invents shrinking pills in episode 3, as well as enlargement pills to go with them. In the season Marching to the New Wonderland, the goats and Wolffy are shrunken down to the size of a bug. They help an actual bug to deliver energy seeds to the top of a tree, since those are the life force of the sun. be457b7860
