The Mist

“Sure, as long as the machines are working and you can dial 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the shit out of them - no more rules.” “As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?“ * “You'd think educating children would be more of a priority in this country but you'd be wrong. Governments got better things to spend our money on, like corporate hand outs and building bombs.“ * “Leave it alone, David. You can't convince some people there's a fire even when their hair is burning. Denial is a powerful thing.” “You don't have much faith in humanity, do you? Ahhh! None whatsoever.” My first time viewing this one, saw the color cut now I’m interested in the black and white 4k cut and I’ll have to admit it’s pretty dark. This is one of those society type films where the real monsters were the humans and people in daily society being tested their morals in IR to of course being selfish pieces of trash.. the ending really seals this one going down as one of those OMG type endings in the hall of fame category. It’s dark, gloomy one of those didn’t see that coming moments. Which I knew about prior to watching this film it immediately reminded me of the long walk type of ending up existential dread feeling with a heavier morality. Down to the religious zealot causing sacrifices and volunteering themselves as the voice of god and reason. The pain of losing hope and being backed in a corner every type of character or dialogue or conflict between them to me showed a deeper picturesque. Definitely a top Stephen king series very intense storytelling.. so glad they didn’t change That ending! (This is free on YouTube rn!)
