In such a situation surrounded by unknown things hidden in the fog, the horror of human hearts arise spontaneously. Some people choose to commit suicide cowardly, some people choose everything that can support their spiritual world, and some people choose to continue to believe in it. The world that you know, ignores or negates the terror brought by those unknowns, or confronts it head-on?
I don't know if the male protagonist is facing the unknown head-on, but in the end, he still lost to his inner fear and the only remaining hope that has always supported his spiritual world. Huge monsters passed before them, every step moving like an earthquake; when the car ran out of gas and couldn't move on, it was still deep in a fog; there was no food, no place to hide. In fact, they knew that there might be such a result before they escaped, but at that time, the only hope was a life-saving straw for them, and it was also the motivation and belief that could support their progress. The reality of the individual was overwhelming, and as the earthquake-like sound gradually approached, the sense of fear struck again, and it collapsed instantly.
The scenes of being slaughtered before come to mind, rather than dying in such pain, it is better to leave quietly now, and do not want to bear those unknown possibilities.
However, when I made up my mind to face the unknown horror alone, everything was so unexpected, so maddening, and regrettable.
All this is too cruel for the male lead, really too cruel.
If you are as confident as before that you can escape, just hold on for one more minute, and everything will turn to the light. However, sometimes it is like this. When faced with successive difficulties, when all hope is lost, even waiting for 1 minute is too long.
I think the director wants to express too many things, or it is too multi-faceted. Just using such poor words is not enough to fully express the inner things. Many things can only be felt by looking at them. At least, for me, that ending is really boring.
