Have you ever felt hopeless?
A storm, a white fog, a supermarket, bring you the most piercing despair.
Hello everyone, here is the film and television repeater:
This issue brings you a thriller movie with a high-distraction ending:
《迷雾》（《The Mist》）
Poster of The Mist
Our impression of "fog" probably stays in the weather forecast as the host said that "tomorrow the fog turns to light rain, the air is humid, and the visibility is low"; the hazy beauty of "looking down at the people under the dead head, not seeing the dust and fog in Chang'an" in the "Long Hate Song"; the beautiful scenery of the "Cloud Mountain Fog Cover" in the photographic works, and so on.
But it's hard to associate fog with the words "danger," "monster," and "religion."
In the movie "The Mist", "fog" is the beginning of all evils...
Synopsis (spoilers to watch out)
The story takes place in a pleasant town, a storm swept through the town, destroying many houses, trees, and the man's family also suffered serious losses.
After the heavy rain, a white fog slowly drifted in the distance, but people only thought it was normal and did not pay attention to it.
The townspeople went to supermarkets to stock up on goods, including the protagonist David and his young son.
suddenly! Piercing sirens echoed across supermarkets, and people looked out the window in panic, their faces filled with fear.
At this time, an old man covered in blood rushed into the supermarket and shouted, "There is something in this fog!" My friend has been killed! ”
People fled in all directions, some people wanted to drive away, but before they could get on the car, they were instantly engulfed by the fog, followed by a terrible scream...
People are forced to return to supermarkets.
The speed at which the fog spread was so great that people had no time to escape.
It is often said that fear stems from the unknown.
What is terrible is not the fog itself, but the unknown danger in the fog.
One of them, a "godmother," who kept preaching her theology, believed that the catastrophe was that "God" wanted to destroy mankind and that mankind should take the initiative to "sacrifice."
Now, no one listens to her rumors for a while.
In the supermarket, people are afraid, and the selfish nature of human beings is fully revealed.
A mother cried and asked for help, her 8-year-old son was left unattended and she had to go home.
However, all chose silence. The mother had to walk into the fog on her own.
In the face of danger, no one is willing to take risks for others.
People are selfish.
Accidentally, the male protagonist heard movement in the warehouse, took a few men to check, and everyone lifted the library door together, unexpectedly, drilled into a huge tentacle!
The tentacles quickly swept away a man, and the man and a supermarket clerk tried their best to save him, but cut off a squirming tentacle.
After people saw the tentacles, panic intensified, and they tried their best to strengthen protection and guard the supermarket.
However, at night, countless huge monsters burst out of the fog, breaking through the glass and attacking everyone.
But what is surprising is that the strange insect has spared only the "godmother".
In order to help his burned friend, the male protagonist wants to go to the opposite pharmacy to find medicine, and the "godmother" says that his behavior will cause trouble. The supermarket was a mess.
The man and his party still walked out of the supermarket. They tied a rope around their waist as a signal and moved forward carefully.
But what awaits them is not hope, but the lair of the monster and another unbearable sacrifice.
Successive blows have caused people on the verge of collapse to join the "religious faction" of the godmother.
In desperate circumstances, people would rather believe that this is "God's punishment" than accept the fact that they have been declared dead.
As everyone knows, this is just self-deception.
This special situation breeds "paganisms" that are more terrifying than monsters.
It erodes the human heart, and it erodes the only good thoughts that people have in desperate situations.
Human nature, along with the mother, was lost in the fog.
The truth is revealed
The truth about the fog and monsters, the movie gives the answer:
In the supermarket, a soldier confessed everything under the pressure of everyone: it turned out that all this was the result of the military's experiment, and during the experiment, the door of the other world was accidentally opened, and all the monsters were creatures from the other world.
Seeing this, you may want to say that this routine has become commonplace, where is it special?
Don't worry, the real reversal is yet to come.
The people who learned the truth were furious, and at the instigation of the "godmother", the soldiers were stabbed, thrown out of the supermarket, and "sacrificed" to the monster.
A human life was taken alive in front of them, and people's faces did not have any guilt, but a smile appeared...
The monsters on the outside are terrible, but what is even more terrifying is the group of "monsters" inside.
There are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly.
"One is the sun, and the other is the human heart"
High-energy reversal
At the end of the film, only the male protagonist and his party got into the car and slowly drove into the man-eating fog. However, they didn't get out until they ran out of gasoline.
The man was completely desperate, and the people in the car finally decided to commit suicide.
But the male protagonist counted the bullets in his hand, five people, only four bullets
The picture turned, only four gunshots were heard, and only the male protagonist got out of the car.
He roared angrily, determined to fight the monster to the death!
Here comes the most amazing reversal!
It is not the monster that comes to the male protagonist, but the rescue army!!
Seeing this, I can't help but feel a chill behind my back...
"Late hope is even more desperate"
The male protagonist is calm, witty, and brave, and has not been knocked down by the monster, but has completely collapsed in the face of this hope.
Because of his only light, he regarded him as the son of life, he fell in the car, before hope came...
Reread & Film Review
Throughout the movie, the final ending is a stroke of genius.
In desperate situations, we always expect the protagonist to be rescued.
Even if you are not saved, you can at least live to the end.
We've seen too many endings:
The protagonist survives and bravely faces more difficulties; the danger is lifted, and a few survivors persist to the end; the danger remains, and everyone is reduced to dust...
But we never think that the protagonist is successfully rescued, but this redemption is a kind of irony for him.
His body was alive, but his soul was dead.
This fog has swallowed people's hearts and also swallowed up hope.
I don't know if it touched you?
If you like it, just pay attention to it
