"Mist"

I have seen the ending before watching it, but this did not affect the viewing this time, indicating that the film is still very attractive and worth watching.
After watching it, many people went to discuss the film's human nature, morality, politics, etc. I admit that I haven't watched it that deeply. The first thing that attracted me to the film was the picture and color tone. Just taking a picture is a good photographic work, so that it reminded me of the very sarcastic saying, German flavor, master, poison! I wondered what artifact they used, and then I saw that it was actually filmed, and I worshipped again!
He may be right about what the clerk in the film predicts will happen amid danger and endless fear and lack of hope, saying that as long as there are two people there will be factional religious politics, killing each other, etc. , but I think this part of the film is too sudden or even abrupt, and it feels very didactic. And since they know what may happen in the future, and it is something they don't like to see, they do not take effective measures to let things happen as they expected, is it to verify how good their predictions are? Is it correct? In the end, they chose to leave instead of actively looking for the key to the problem and properly solving the problem. They left, under the banner of freedom, neither interfering with the freedom of others nor unwilling to be controlled by others. In this matter, it is obvious that the people who unite together have a better chance of survival, provided that there is a sober person to guide. This is reflected in leadership, position, politics, etc., but those sober people seem to reject these words too much, and they give up these obligations in the name of democracy and freedom, although it is sometimes said that the distribution of power to a few people is a Dangerous, but sometimes beneficial. The most important thing is to see who is in the hands. I don't know what the protagonist's group was thinking at the time. Although they were sober, they didn't think about how to do things.
It is understandable but regrettable for the actor's final decision. I think there may be another interpretation of the fog is that without independent thinking, you will lose yourself because of the loss of discernment; those who are clear-headed and appear rational will also be lost, they are too obsessed with believing and obsessed with their own judgments about things, rather than real understanding.

    The ending is so heartbreaking. A lot of human nature discussed earlier is not amazing, and the three views of this film are very positive.

The Mist quotes

  • Irene: Jim Grondin. I had you in school, didn't I?

    Jim Grondin: Yes, ma'am. Me and my sister Pauline.

    Irene: Pair of underachievers.

    [steps aside]

    Irene: After you, Jim.

  • 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.
