The asshole that got "Sherman" killed didn't just cause it, he also just sat there terrified while the other 2 tried to help save him instead of going for the ax sooner
The whole point of the film is how fear changes everything. This wasn't about survival, right, wrong, or morality. It was a showcase of human nature when faced with hopelessness, as represented by each archetype character (denial, arrogance, superstitious, etc). How fear of the unknown, or the uncertain, can fundamentally change what we take for granted, including within ourselves. I appreciate the film taking this point towards its most bleak conclusion. Otherwise the whole build up would have been a waste, and it would have been another Hollywood ending. I think is also worth noting that this wasn't just for shock value. It lead the audience, who tend to identify with the main character, to experience that breaking point, and succumb to what have been the struggle all along.
Frank Darabont, the director of The Mist prefers the black and white version of the film. The studio refused to let him release it in black and white at the theater.
David made a promise to his son that he wouldn't let a monster eat him no matter what. I don't think i could do it, even on that extreme circumstance. I have 3 kids and the thought of that crushes my heart. I say to myself if i were in that circumstance i would have waited at least until a monster or monsters were coming for us as you two said. I love the movie but the ending is just crushing. I do know for certain that as soon as those soldiers came up i would have grabbed their gun and done myself in. Ms. Carmody the religious nut is one of the greatest villains, you hate her so much. Ollie is one of the best characters, total unexpected badass.
Actually, the people in the supermarket may have been saved. Notice the direction where the military came out of the mist? Yeah, from the back. In other words, from the direction David and the others came.
This is a film about the loss of hope, while another film by Frank Darabont is about maintaining hope when all seems lost. That film being The Shawshank Redemption. The main character in this film loses hope and once loses hope, gives in to the situation around him.
35:38 When I watched this in the theatre, at this part, some people yelled out "YES!!!" (myself included) and there were some sighs of relief as well as some snickering that was then followed by light laughter.
Got to be the most intense reaction to a movie I’ve seen yet.‘roommate’sorry I don’t know your name…don’t think I’d want you sitting behind me at the movies,but you have your values and you speak up for them.
29:02 LMAO Dude the way your roommate looks away as she calmly says "You should leave" and just starts yelling is the best thing ever XDDD, honestly this is my favorite scene cause I love spiders lel
Well, there is a bright spot in all this. Kid can't be traumatized by Eldritch abominations and violent religious fundamentalists if he's dead at the end of it all.
I've always really liked your guys' vibe! idk what it is but you seem like the kind of people I'd love to be friends with. I know I've heard you both mention that you are simply roommates in other videos, but I find your chemistry together, just friends or not, really refreshing and honestly, you two are ridiculously cute together! I apologize if that was too much to say but I just wanted to let you guys know that you are both so cute and I ship it 🧡🖤🤍 also great reaction once more, you deserve many more views but its nice to see you're just having a good time regardless of that sheet. Edit: Now I've just read a bunch of other people's comments and they are all referring to my lady as "the Roommate" so I will just see myself out the door now. lo siento, mi amigos. lo siento 🤦♀🤷♀
“The glitter infection” that’s hilarious Roomie, my friend calls it “craft herpes” 😂 You’re correct Grave, that’s a painting of Roland from The Dark Tower series. Quote of the reaction “I think I officially hate everyone who picked this…that includes me, I’m pretty sure I picked this.” 😂 Poor Grave almost went deaf soon after that. 😂 Marcia Gay Harden did amazing as Mrs. Carmody because she made me hate every moment she was on screen. Apparently between the fire and bullwhip comments so did both of you. And to which I also say “Go Ollie!” Apparently Stephen King said in an interview that he actually thinks the movies ending is better than the ending he wrote (which you noted in the after review…sorry, I do notes as I’m watching so I don’t forget) Speaking of which he also said that the monsters from The Mist came from the Todash Space seen in The Dark Tower series (another connection) As for what I would do in this situation…I have no f’ing clue honestly. I was in the Army for 8 years but that was on an M1A1 Abrams Tank and I doubt one will be just laying about…also pretty sure you’d need a tank to have a hope of damaging that 4-legged Cthulhu thing. Of course with my luck that would get its attention rather than hurting it. Honestly the best plan I can come up with is to hole up with a small group with food and weapons and try and secure the area as best as possible.
I HATE Mrs. Carmody so much...... she talks about being righteous and "life of sin" but then wants to sacrifice an innocent child?? How does THAT make sense?? And then "Kill'em all!"?? Also, you should check out the series, I personally liked it
I love this movie, and especially the ending. It's not your traditional happy Hollywood ending. It's shocking and tragic. I used to love watching reactions to the movie simply because I enjoyed sharing in the goosebumps with the reactors during the closing scene. But I've seen it so much, it no longer has that pull on me in that sense. Now, I love watching it because of the sheer humor I find in it when everyone realizes the mist is over, and monsters defeated... that he did it for nothing. When I saw your reaction up, I dropped everything just to see her reaction because I know how she feels about children 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 This is gonna be amazing to see her all up-in-arms over it! I'm still shocked that she hasn't something against abortion. She strikes me as someone that would be pro-choice... strikes me like I would love to strike a crying little brat with a baseball bat😂 😂 😂 just kidding 😉 😉 😉 more like a tire iron 😂 😂
3 actors in this were in the walking dead...Tom Gordon? main character was up for rick in walking dead but picked some stupid "hung" show on cable...baaaad career move.
Love how they did the ending. Chilling out in a Howard Johnson was pretty anti climactic. Also props the the actress playing mother carmody you really stand up and cheer when she dies
The really messed up thing is, that nobody ever wants to admit is Mrs. Carmody isn’t wrong in this movie. Especially the ending. She said, “ the boy has to die, and we will be saved.” Well his son died, and the world was saved shortly afterwards.
Bit the boy didn't have to die. That was thw whole poibt of the movie's ending, and the book ending is left vague. Carmody is a villain, and her being a religious nut is what leads to all the bad things happening. If they had just waited it out, they would've been safe.
She wasn't right. The fog didn't lift the moment the boy died, it lifted long before, back wherever the column of military vehicles got started. They had people standing up in the top of the one vehicle, which is something they would never have done if they were driving through an area with monsters. It was clearly clear the whole way for the long line of vehicles that came upon Frank moments after he shot everyone else. Unless you're suggesting that sacrificing the boy not only lifted the fog but magically summoned a whole bunch of vehicles?
No one should walk that lady home. You kidding me? She's a bad mother! It's her fault... leaving an 8 year old to babysit the younger one - who, by the way, forgets she's supposed to be watching her little brother. And to leave them alone right after a storm, and with no power in the house. No one should have to risk their lives for her stupidity, especially the soldiers. The military may have bigger issues they're needed for. It's crazy... she's worried about her little heathen brats now, but had no concern when she left 'em home alone.
Nice Reactions ... but thank You even more for teaching me something , i was "...not ok..." with your Fingernails , but i am old and now remember how my grandparents or older People did not understand me ... seems it repeats itself and You do You 👍👊 The Thx is serious , i don´t wan´t to be an ignorant Butt-Hole and You made me think about my prejudices
