    So this was a Stephen King novella. The way King ended the novella was them getting in the car and driving into the mist. When this movie came out King said he was upset he hadn't thought to end it this way and that Frank Darabont had balls enough to do it.

      Yeah, he basically ended it the same way Hitchcock ended The Birds. Just left it up to reader to decide what happened next, which is fine, but I love Darabont's commital to his ending. There's probably no way it'd make it past test screenings in today's Hollywood.

  • @WastedPo
    @WastedPo 4 дні тому +7

    On thing that I've never seen anyone else mention (maybe they're not readers) is the Stephen King easter egg that Darabont inserted into the middle of the movie. When the flying things invade the store at night and one of them is threatening Mrs. Carmody, she says, "My life for you." This seemingly works to get the creature to not kill her. This is not, in fact, her appealing to God, like some people interpret it as, but rather her appealing to the monsters. This is reference to Stephen King's novels (many of which are part of a shared universe) in which people on the side of evil pledge their allegiance to a greater evil. (In "The Stand," this is often said by the Trashcan Man, for example.) So basically it's confirmation that Mrs. Carmody is evil, and that this is connected to the greater King-verse.

      The group of our protagonists did try. In the end they had nothing left to try with. Nothing they'd seen and gone through gave them any hope. The lady with her kids should have died, she survived through blind luck. You can try your best, and still lose. Or you can do something foolish, beat the odds and win. That's the real moral of the story: The world isn't just or fair. It doesn't care what you deserve.

    The painting at the beginning is the main character from King's Dark Tower series, Roland Deschain, which makes sense because it's widely recognized that the mist in this movie is a representation of a "thinny" as described in The Dark Tower, or a place where the barrier between realities has thinned and things like monsters from places called Todash Spaces are able to cross over.
    The monsters in the mist are those from Todash Spaces. I cant wait for Mike Flanagan to adapt that series.

    The Behemoth never harms any living thing and doesn't appear to be hostile in nature, but it is said to be larger than anything that ever lived on Earth. Its lack of hostility could be due to its sheer size - it simply does not notice anything beneath it. Its very size is a hazard and it frightened the survivors into thinking that there was nothing any better ahead of them. The Behemoth's legs have hundreds of Scorpion-Flies attached to them, and slaty-grey skin mottled in places to dark brown, but apart from that, the creature is unseen.
    David gets an impression that the Behemoth's size would make a blue whale resemble a trout and also dwarf the largest dinosaur. Its weight is sufficient to leave footprints the size of large SUVs in solid concrete. It seems to be larger than the film version.
    In the Film The Behemoth has six double-jointed legs, hundreds of multiple-jointed appendages on its underside, and tentacles above its head. The Behemoth's height is estimated at over 240 feet, larger than anything that ever lived on earth. Its lowest leg joints tower over utility poles and can be measured to be at a height of around 111 feet (33.8 meters).

    So many easter eggs in that opening scene. Painting from the movie poster from John Carpenter's "The Thing," painting of "The Gunslinger" from Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" books, and others... Nice nods.

    Great reaction - shout-out to legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson for his work on those creatures; there's almost something PERSONAL in how nightmarish they are; see his Frankenstein - I can see why Stephen King preferred this ending; he seems plugged into some connection between horror and comedy, in the way the leap into deeper horror is set up almost like a punchline, the threshold of madness - Frank Darabont made this plus Shawshank, which is why I think he's the closest to King's full vision - there's a Scoville rating for how traumatic a hot pepper is
    - it's where it goes beyond a certain point, where you're testing how much food poisoning you can take, how much of a hole you can burn into your own stomach - meaning the more scarred for life you are afterwards, the higher the score
    - so the Mist ranks high on my movie Scoville - other films that take us this far into trauma include Brightburn; Come and See; Vertigo; Wolf Creek; Hereditary; Night of the Living Dead; Dead Ringers; Requiem for a Dream; I Stand Alone; The Cook the Thief his Wife and her Lover - in other words, consider yourself warned - Pet Sematary the book does, and the film should feel like this, taking the audience into our own private hell, but no adap's quite succeeded

    Notice there are several people who played major characters on the TV series, The Walking Dead, in this movie? Laurie Holden, Melissa McBride, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Juan Pareja.
    This was no coincidence. You know how directors often like to use actors they enjoy working with on many projects..., Well, director Frank Darabont, who wrote and directed The Mist, is also the creator of the TV series, The Walking Dead. Ironically, Darabont wanted Thomas Jane (David Drayton) to play the main protagonist on The Walking Dead (character, Rick Grimes), but the role ended up going to Andrew Lincoln, as we know. By the time Darabont got his show picked up by the AMC Network, Thomas Jane had already signed onto another project. Even some other actors from The Mist made appearances on one or a few episodes of The Waking, including Sam Witwer (Private Jessup), and Tiffany Morgan (Woman #2).

    When I originally watched this movie, I hadn't seen TWD, and now watching this reaction and seeing all the TWD actors made me so extremely happy. XD Also, makes total sense that "Carol" made it to reappear at the end. If I was one of those monsters, I wouldn't mess with Carol either. lol Those things know a bad bitch when they see one.

    30:09 He's holding the knife like that so when he throws a punch the sharp part of the blade follows his fist and slices the thing he's attacking. It's a holding technique they teach in tactical combat training which makes sense because his character is a military guy.

    It's basically a modern, sci-fi horror update of Lord of the Flies. Destined to always be near the top of the list of Movies With Tragic Endings. It was a nice touch to use The Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance on the soundtrack for the final minutes of the film. Great reaction. I like how you mentioned how much you admired Marcia Gay-Harden, then grew to intensely despise her character. Not often mentioned is the fact that this movie has great ensemble acting. With many of the same actors that Frank Darabont also worked with on The Walking Dead TV series.

    I say this in every reaction of this I see. There’s been 3 movies that I will always remember the theater experience of. This, 8 mile, and infinity war. The dead silence of the theater at the end of this movie was so insane. Before infinity war I had nvr experienced it since. I salute darabont (sp?) for sticking to his guns and not letting the studio make him waver from it. Even if they gave him less of a budget because of it. Which made the creatures not look as good. It’s all worth it for that ending.

    27:32 - This is a really nice touch. Carmody thinks she is praying to her idea of the Christian God, but, in King's universe, "My life for you," is used as a supplication/prayer to dark Eldritch Gods. So, if this entire situation *was* a result of some kind of God-related shenanigans, and Carmody was spared after this prayer, we then know that the God(s) running this show are not Carmody's, but Lovecraft's.

    There was a sorta sequel or side sequel that came out back in 2017 called The Dark Tower starring Idris Elba.Basiclly,these creatures are from another dimension,which the film didnt explain that the military was conducting experiments in dimension travel and thats where the creatures come from.The Dark Tower and The Mist are in the same universe.

    2. It can be used to estimate how far they made it before they got attacked.

  • @WastedPo

    I've seen people claim that this ending was confirmation that Mrs. Carmody was correct, that they needed to sacrifice the boy in order for God to save the day. This interpretation never made sense to me, since it's obvious the mist had been clearing for some time *before* David made his fatalistic decision.
    As a side observation: It always felt weird that this movie was directed by Frank Darabont. He's obviously known for his stellar adaptations of King's "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile." But stylistically, this one felt totally different. All those zoom-ins, like it's The Office or something.
