One of the most thoughtful points in the fog:
From the ending, maybe the woman who believed in the Old Testament was right.
If everyone stayed in the supermarket, if everyone didn't leave the supermarket, then maybe more people would survive when the rescue team arrived.
When being constantly attacked by monsters, according to the idea of the woman who believed in the Old Testament, offering sacrifices one after another might reduce the attack of monsters and prolong the time. A few people died, and more people may wait for the arrival of the rescue team.
When people are extremely afraid, blind religion and anger, do reduce people's fear, from a certain point of view, it seems that religion plays his role.
Well, when I started to seriously think about the above ideas in my mind, the fear this movie brought to people really started, a seemingly very reversed ending, like a sharp needle Mang, pierced into your soul.
In the long river of human history, heroes are very rare. It is precisely because most people do not have a certain quality in them that they become our role models and idols, and are praised by people in epics. And we often have the illusion that we are very similar to them, and in those special moments, we are bound to make the same choices as them. We are righteous and self-sacrificing, we are noble and brave. However, we hate to admit that most of us are not like that, we are timid and cowardly, we are stupid and blind, we are not like the positive characters in the movie, but more like that , William Sadler, who just started talking big, and then was scared by reality, and immediately knelt at the feet of religion William Sadler , we will first calculate our own survival status in various situations, not the entire population, We will kneel and lick all the authority and speech that seems to give us hope and courage, but do not have the courage and ability to distinguish and question.
This false pretence and narcissistic grandeur is the part of me that I am most pondering about.
In the face of adversity, people will lose hope, in the face of enormous pressure, people will collapse, and in an environment without constraints, people will degenerate into beasts. In the face of the unknown world, people are not as strong and calm as they think. Human beings may not be the chosen ones, we are just the waves that rise at a certain moment in the long river of time, and those praise and determination, persistence and moving towards self are just the colorful rays of light reflected by the bubbles illuminated by the sun. It may disappear completely in a moment.
And this kind of self-doubt and confusion is what really makes people ponder.
