The Incredible Shrinking Women
Recently I watched “The Incredible Shrinking Women,” starring Lily Tomlin and Charles Grodin. The movie is about a woman “Pat Kramer” who begins to shrink after being exposed to a mixture of household chemicals. Kramer begins to shrink more and more each day wanting people to treat her as a equal even though she was small she managed to make America love her for the mysterious thing happened to her. It was interesting to watch a movie about household chemicals causing a suburban housewife to shrink. I found this movie to very fascinating. This movie is so interesting to me because I can see someone making a movie about this now (current time) especially since everyone is going green. Also I really enjoyed seeing the perspective of the scale between Pat Kramer and her suburban house. After Pat Kramer shrank small enough her family let her live in a dollhouse where everything was the right scale for Pat.
My work is similar to this movie in that I am making myself small however everything around me (in the house) is of a larger scale. Overall, I found the Incredible Shrinking Women to be a very intriguing movie.
