With so many positive reviews, don't you think the plot is very contrived and far-fetched?

You say this is a film from the 1970s and 1980s. I can understand that for the purpose of the theme or to express the so-called human nature, the plot is a little rough and the logic is a little far-fetched. I am very surprised that there will be a market for this film.
1. It is not normal for a short-haired girl to insist on going out, and it is a normal performance for a person to refuse to escort others. Don't everyone else in the supermarket have family in town? It was an obvious fact that it was very dangerous outside. She had to bring other people to accompany her to die, but she was saved later. She had absolutely no idea what the director wanted to express.
2. In the scene of opening the electric door, the dispute with the male protagonist is also very inexplicable, and suddenly it is related to the level of education. There is no foreshadowing in front of the male protagonist and the gangsters in the town. It is a dispute that can be arranged to create conflict.
3. When the male protagonist convened a group of four who came into contact with monsters for the first time to prove the truth of the crisis to the black neighbors, the black people didn't believe it, thinking that they were making fun of him. Are you kidding him? I really can't stand it here. . Shut down decisively. . .

The Mist quotes

  • Wayne Jessup: I heard stuff.

    Mrs. Carmody: Stuff...

    Wayne Jessup: Yeah, we all heard stuff! Like uh, how they... they thought that there were other dimensions. You know, other... other worlds all around us, and how they wanted to try to make a window, you know, so they can look through and see what's on the other side.

    Mrs. Carmody: Well maybe your window turned out to be a door. Isn't it?

    Wayne Jessup: Not my door! It's the scientists!

    Mrs. Carmody: [sarcastically] Oh, the scientists.

    Wayne Jessup: Yes, the scientists! They must've ripped a hole through by accident. That's how their world keeps on spilling through into ours. That's what Donaldson was saying right before he killed himself. I didn't understand half of it.

  • Dan Miller: [after the car runs out of gas] Well, we gave it a good shot. Nobody can say we didn't.
