Green Mile also has positive Christian messages and overtones - meaning that it's not so much pro-organized religion as much as it is discussing values. I think King mostly just hates the organization part, which is fair.

@jbvader721 2 года назад

Not to mention, King also hates when "Christians" use/abuse their faith to cause suffering among others they feel are inferior to them (especially those they claim they "love"; looking at you Margaret White) and justify it with said faith. See Mrs. Carmody in "The Mist" or the Warden in "Shawshank Redemption" as examples. Which, again is fair.

@cheezemonkeyeater 3 года назад

When asked about the religious aspect of this movie, King said his aim was to do his take on the Hero's Journey narrative set in a uniquely American and modern way. The HJ always has a mystical element to it and, to him, the only thing that made sense to be both mystical and modern in America was Christianity. The structure of the story he's telling literally required him to do a positive take on Christianity.

@erickamakeeaina1649 3 года назад

Another thing that may have contributed is the fact that He wrote The Stand to be 'Lord of the Rings In an American setting'. And Christian theming was a huge thing in Tolkien's work. Adding onto this, Abigail seems to have Gandalfs role and Gandalf was the Legendarium equivalent of an Angel.

@andrewzamora2689 11 месяцев назад

In the book it comes off as being heavy handed on the Christianity aspect but even that is really just the basic good v.s evil plot line boiled down to its most basic form and took very little from Christianity at all actually aside from the generic "it's God's will" shit.

@cheezemonkeyeater 11 месяцев назад

@@andrewzamora2689 I never saw it as heavy handed because it doesn't go into any kind of detail on any kind of dogma. It's very generic on every detail, just using it, as you said, as the foundation for good vs. evil. My parents have some of those real Christian post-apocalypse novels, though, so my perspective might be a bit skewed.

@sliphstream4927 3 года назад

They explain why Mother Abigail disappeared for a while. She felt that she sinned in pride. Sitting on the porch with all the pilgrims coming to see her, she felt that she lost sight of God's will. So she went into the wilderness just as Jesus did to make penance.

It would be closer is Flagg had succeeded in having her killed... maybe had her head brought in on a platter ALA John's head in the Bible). Larry would be the most clear Christ surrogate oddly. He had the temptation, the martyring... and Stu would probably be St. Peter who lived on and became the first Pope (who helmed the church after the resurrection). Anyway... that's how I saw it.

@TuxKamen 10 месяцев назад

One small correction, Fran didn't have Stu's baby, she was pregnant before the flu hit and the baby's father died early on. Her telling Stu she was pregnant was just to let him know, putting her cards out on the table, so to speak. That was one reason the settlement was afraid the baby would catch the flu when it was born, since it had one immune parent and one non-immune

@UglyKenHart 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, she tells Stu she is pregnant pretty early on in the book, and when Stu gets back to Boulder, the reason why Frannie is so scared is because another pregnant woman who had a non-immune partner lost her baby to Captain Trips already.

@ghyslainabel 3 года назад

The book elaborated a little on that. Who is responsible? - The general who wanted research in biological weapons? - The scientists who created the virus? - The technician who built a faulty piece? - The person who approved the faulty piece? - The security guard who ran out? - The person who hired said security guard? We can argue that everybody is responsible, yet the responsibility is spread so thin that nobody is responsible. If one believes to a higher power, one can blame it for so many errors aligning so perfectly.

@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961 3 года назад

Yep, that's why they were concerned the baby would not inherit immunity to the virus because her father wasn't immune, and the baby was sick for a few months after birth if I remember correctly and then got better and survived, and the entire town was concerned because hers was the first birth in that community and some of the other pregnant women were worried that it would be possible the baby would somehow catch the virus even if both parents were immune and may not fight it off in time as newborns simply because they had seen so much death Igyess and they weren't absolutely sure as these were the first births. The entire community was worried as well. They cared for the people as individuals and they also knew if the babies didn't survive and inherit the immunity from their mothers, that would be the end of any generations going forward and presumably the human race besides those in vegas with the dark man, Randall Flagg. Sorry for the run-on sentences.

I still clearly remember the nightmarish scene I had about Flagg in my dream. What occurred was that I was one of the survivors of the virus. I decided to explore my abandoned grandmothers house. And that’s when I encountered him. He was in the main coatroom area of her house and it was nearly pitch black. I didn’t see him however I could *feel* him. His grin, the laugh, the watching of his demonic eyes. I didn’t see him yet I could. My heart was racing and I couldn’t breath. It all felt so real which is what made it terrifying. i sure as hell got the fuck outta there but I never had felt pure terror like that before. It’s one of the many reasons why I adore the stand because never has a villain from a book ever appeared in my dreams let alone scare me to such a degree. Oh and I also had another nightmare where everyone I loved was dying from the sickness around me and I could do nothing about it to stop it. Fun times.

Randall Flagg is a servant to the Crimson King, who's basically the "devil" of Stephen King's multiverse. Flagg appears in several other King stories under different names, most prominently as the "Man in Black" aka Walter O'Dim in The Dark Tower. So while he's not a servant of the christian version of the devil, he IS a servant of the ultimate evil in King's writings. Therefore I think it's up for debate if the God Mother Abigail serves is literally the christian God, or if it's another benevolent deity in King's universe like the giant space turtle Maturin. EDIT: and as soon as I write that, Malcolm mentions Maturin.

@randallflagg3700 3 года назад

@Itried20takennames Год назад

The weird thing is that Scrubs (mentioned here due to the Dad actor being in each) is actually one of the more realistic medical/hospital shows, removing the fantasy and nonsense parts. Many of the plots and characters do relate to medical residency - the internal medicine/surgery rivalry, the “great but not friendly and very demanding” mentor physician, the “popular because good bedside manner but not that clinically knowledgeable” doctor, the older patient reaching end of life and make the call to stop treatment (though in real life, once you are sure the person understands the information, you let the patient make their own choice and then don’t try to “talk them out of it”). Grey’s Anatomy and House are terrible for realism of medical care, starting from one of the first scenes in which 6 or so med/surg residents running out to the helicopter pad to dramatically unload a patient. IRL, the med/surg staff is plenty busy gowning up and otherwise getting ready for the patient inside, and the flight medics are the only ones allowed near the still running/just landed helicopter.

I was 9 and in third grade when I first read the Stand. Had the Stand as my silent reading book. I'll never forget my teacher coming up to my desk, kneeling down next to me, and asking if my parents knew I was reading that since it was a pretty big and grown-up book. She was super nice about it, but didn't believe me when I told her my parents knew I was reading it and they said it was okay. She knew I was a strong reader and tended to blow through the books in our classroom library pretty fast, but she was a little concerned about me undertaking The Stand for so, so many reasons now that I understand what I was reading. (My mom is a librarian too and both her and my dad are not only huge readers like me but huge fans of Stephen King his books were all over my house growing up) my teacher actually called my mom to talk with her about my choice book. The rule with me reading it was if I didn't understand a word or what was happening in a particular chapter I was to ask my parents and show them the part I was struggling with and it wasn't a question to be asked at school. I also wasn't allowed to talk about the book with my friends at school or repeat anything I read in it. It was and still is one of my favorite books. When the mini-series came out a year later when I was in 4th grade I was so excited and it didn't disappoint.

That didn't bother me much, but leaving the character of Rita Blakemoor out really bugged me. I loved poor, doomed Rita.

I love that the radio was playing Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear The Reaper”

That song is literally the novel's epigraph. Say what you will about the guy, but his taste in music is pretty on-point

Melvin Shaw Gotta Say, Though the only reason I even know both the song and the band is from hearing it on Supernatural, back when I still watched that show, y’know before it in my opinion jumped the shark by becoming uber focused on God and the Devil.

Ngl, whenever I hear the line "Baby, I'm your man" in that song, my mind _always_ follows it up with "He's a righteous man" just because of the use in this mini-series

Bring out your dead is what they did call in the middle ages.

Fran was always pregnant. Jess was her boyfriend who died of captain trips. Stu is not the father of her baby. Stu meets Fran and she’s already pregnant so he becomes the baby’s stepfather.
