Force Feed Harmony Crap

Branson 2022-03-22 09:01:28

I call films with plots and logic that the director deliberately adds to make you uncomfortable, "Hey Harmony" (xiang) films. There are two kinds of "harmony" films. One is that the director feeds "harmony" by controlling the plot, character emotion, and event logic, which will make people feel that this "harmony" is unexpected but reasonable. After eating, although my heart hurts, I feel that it is reasonable. This is human nature or reality. There will be thinking, perception and experience, and I will feel that the film has depth. In general, the "harmony" of bad films is illogical and unstructured. If the director wants to force-feed you, he has to force-feed you. This is called force-feeding "harmony". After watching such a film, you will feel doubtful about life and the world, but it is impossible to have effective thinking, because your thinking is under the forcible and deliberate guidance of the director. What is the meaning of thinking. Don't over-explain and exaggerate, this film is a lousy film that does its part. I will not be stingy with criticism of bad films, not to mention bad films that feel like a myocardial infarction after watching this.

    The film brought me not only the fear and helplessness of empathy, but also the reflection on human nature.

    The limitations of human nature, lack and mutation of beliefs, the power of the bewitched masses, the power of personal heroism and the power of love under the shadow of accidental disasters... It's really a good film with profound connotations! The film is based on Stephen King's novel. Director Darabont has directed "The Green Mile" and "Shawshank's Redemption".

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.
