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

  • Amanda Dunfrey: I just want you to know that it's okay... being scared. And, well, if you need a friend, someone to talk too...

    Mrs. Carmody: I have a friend. God, up above. I talk to him everyday. Don't you condescend me.

    Amanda Dunfrey: I'm sorry?

    Mrs. Carmody: Not ever. You don't mock me.

    Amanda Dunfrey: That's not what I was doing.

    Mrs. Carmody: I'll tell you what. The day I need a friend like you, I'll just have myself a little squat and shit one out.

  • Norm: Let's rock.
