After watching this film, I believe that many people also want to think about the "deep meaning" of this film like me. It's not that I'm bored, but this film is actually not entertaining. There are no zombies running rampant, blood on the floor, and nothing There is a lot of suspense, screaming queen, and the special effects in the film are also unsatisfactory, barely passing. When I watched a few close-ups of monsters, I always thought that the budget of this film must be very tight. The bastard pretending to be a ghost in the film already made me feel uncomfortable and wanted to fast forward, not to mention there was a very unpleasant ending. However, this is another intriguing film with a large amount of "information", reflecting on society and human nature from multiple angles, which also makes this film, like several other Darabont films, transcendental pure horror The meaning of the tablet is more worth chewing again and again.
The reflection on the progress of human science and technology in the film is relatively "conventional", which is a common angle of science fiction and horror movies. However, this film wraps the negative effects of technological progress in a fog full of alien creatures, which is more ironic. Technology always hopes that people can see our world more clearly, even if it is extremely subtle, so we must see genes clearly and atoms clearly, and at the same time play the role of creators to manipulate the world at will . In this film, this desire is a step closer, we not only have to see through our world, but also look at another world, but it brings a fog, which makes us more puzzled and fearful. Just like we seem to have mastered the various characteristics of genes, we can cultivate high-yield, insect-proof genetically modified agricultural products, but we are still confused, we do not know whether it will cause harm to our body, we do not know whether its promotion will cause An ecological disaster, in such a fog, we are still puzzled, and some people even resist in horror. Technological elites are often confident that they want to open a window to another world, but they bring a storm of the human world in a storm, and ironically, we find that the creatures of the other world are from those of us.” From the perspective of "higher creatures", they all look like primitive creatures from prehistoric times, but it is these primitive creatures that have tormented people in modern civilized society that have mastered technology.
The most exciting thing in this film is the "anomie" of human society. Order is another characteristic of human civilized society, but it is the product of long-term evolution in a certain environment, so there are always different orders and conditions in different environments. Relevant values, otherwise there would be no ideological conflict. In some specific environments, the social order is often broken. In this film, a technological disaster brings a group of people who are imprisoned in a supermarket, completely separated from the social order, so from this perspective, the original The film can also be regarded as a common confinement movie in horror movies, but the relative confinement space is relatively large. And since they are confined, the relevant groups will always have a panic -> calm down -> cooperation -> frustration -> suspicion -> In the process of infighting, everyone was panic-stricken in the face of the sudden disaster at first, but after all, everyone still has the habit of social order, they quickly calmed down and cooperated with each other, including the chatter of lawyers in the film, despite the obvious nagging, But it can also be seen that everyone still maintains the original social order, and people who are too rational in social order like lawyers are also the first to be "eliminated". Then there is the mutual cooperation, and now there is that crazy woman who makes me want to rush into the film and slap her a few times while watching the film, and the reason why she annoys many audiences is because of some ideology about theology Apart from the differences, to a large extent we are looking at a group of people in a state of "anomesis" from the perspective of a "normative" society. There is a blue-collar worker in a small town who can express the psychology of people in that kind of environment. At first, he didn't care about the situation at the time, and he instigated the young workers in the supermarket to go out, but when the murder happened, he immediately obeyed the male protagonist. At this time, most people also obeyed him, because as said in the film, he can make "decisions", and compared with the mad woman, he is more rational and more socially rational, and at this time everyone's body There is also social rationality, so he leads everyone to fight against fate. But panicked people often have the characteristics of "grass on the wall". Soon, the resistance of rational forces was frustrated, so people represented by blue-collar workers were panicked again. At this time, what they need is comfort and hope. Therefore, crazy woman Stand out as a leader, and he follows her hysterically. And people caught in disaster often need a scapegoat, so that poor American soldier became a burial. How familiar this process is. When plagues such as the Black Death spread far away, everyone suspected each other of poisoning each other in their panic. In recent times such as economic and political turmoil, people looted, fought, and even elected a strongman like Hitler to power. This film is very good to restore this process in a supermarket, showing people's panic and nervousness, and although the crazy woman looks hateful, although she was killed in the end, it was very pleasing, which made me feel very comfortable. But I have to say that this is the highlight of the film, and it is also the epitome of a class of important characters in the case of social anomie.
Finally, I have to say the most depressing ending of the film. The protagonist of this film should say that from the beginning to the end, he has the main characteristics of the last surviving or at least heroic character in the horror film. He has a beautiful family and a happy life. Such characters often end up embracing their family after experiencing setbacks. He is relatively low-key and has no arrogance that does not take everything seriously. Domineering people are often not seen in horror movies. The earliest death is the worst death, and low-key is king; he dares to take responsibility at critical moments and is full of sense of responsibility, such people often end up with a heroic image and are praised emotionally; With indomitable determination and perseverance, such people often persevere in desperation and finally see the sun. However, in the film, he acted and worked hard, but in the end he failed. We cannot blame him and the refugees for giving up a small step away from success. The collapse of people in such a situation is understandable. Under extreme conditions, people have to look for sustenance to survive, so there is a crazy woman who wins everyone's love, because she gives people hope. However, the last few people in the film who try to control their own destiny have encountered a desperate situation. This is a crisis of belief. Everyone may encounter their own extreme situations, so we find people desperately committing suicide from time to time. In this film, Amplifying this extreme situation, fate is so impermanent, if they simply "do nothing" and wait, they may be able to wait for the rescue of the soldiers. If they persist for a while, they can see the fog dissipate. However, individual efforts are certain, and the ultimate destiny is elusive. The so-called "man's plan, success is in heaven", we can only proceed with personal values and do what we can do, and the result is indeed unpredictable. This is also a reflection on the spirit of "struggle" in the current society. At the same time, it seems a little depressing, but also a little comforting. Maybe our personal choices may not seem so exciting, so positive, so mainstream, so worthwhile Advocate, but the final result may be the best, so make your own choice calmly, and let the rest of the love do what you want!
