      Close to a classic but hardly a classic

      A lot of people say this movie is a classic, and a lot of people say that the ending of the movie elevates the movie by several levels. There are also a lot of people who say that the film is unacceptable and that the ending is sarcastic for the sake of sarcasm. It can be said that the end of the story is that Xiao He defeated Xiao He. The ending improves the ideological quality of the story from about 6 points to more than 7 points, but reduces the visibility by more than one grade. So it will...

      Excessive reading is like reading comprehension

      After watching the film, even as a non-denominational, I thought it was a thoroughly religious film.
      Based on a theory, the following discussion has to be made. In some other European and American religious films that I have seen, God and Satan have an agreement, and they cannot directly enter the human world and affect human beings. Therefore, it is also in line with the military scientific research that accidentally opened the channel of hell and released some monsters. This is a mistake...

      I thought "The Mist" was a bad movie

      I thought "The Mist" was a bad movie. I've watched too many bad movies recently, and it wouldn't be surprising to see another one. Of course, it's no accident that "The Mist" didn't fall into the ranks of bad movies. It's a good movie for every reason. Stephen King's novel is there to support it, and the director is also very good. It is Frank Darabont, the director of "The Shawshank Redemption." I know that this director has a solid storytelling ability. He may not love swordsmanship. He is...

      The goddess and the goddess are dead

      I have to say that this kind of cartoonish character appears in the book and people may still think it can be understood, but it is unconvincing when it appears in the form of an image. To put it bluntly, the movie did not restore the horror atmosphere of the novel. Just like Gu Long's novels, you may think that the lines and dialogues are very artistic when you read the book, but if you make them into a film and television work (unless you have a stream of consciousness like [Dong Xie Xi Du]),...

      Haven't watched a movie like this in a long time

      Faced with the fog in front of you, you have no idea what's inside, only fear remains in your heart. Stephen King once again created a chilling scene. I can't see anything, and I don't know what to do.
      Thankfully they hid in the supermarket, where all the necessities were available.
      The appearance of the monster was said to be far-fetched, when the empty door opened and something came in. That's the explanation for these weird things. I originally thought it was a mutant creature...

    Movie plot

    Painter David Drayton took his young son Billy to live in a beautiful town in Maine. The town that had been baptized by pouring rain should have been refreshed after a storm. The smell of mud and grass, but the thick black mist that suddenly came up against the wind in the distance gave David a vaguely ominous feeling.
    The thick, unnatural fog formed almost surrounded the entire town in the blink of an eye. What the townspeople could...

    Highlights of the Shooting

    This is not the first time William Seidler has appeared in "The Mist." He also voiced David Drayton in the audio version of this short story.
    At the beginning of the film, David Drayton was drawing an illustration from Stephen King’s "Dark Tower" series of novels, and the other design of the room was by John Carpenter in 1982. The poster of "Strange Shape".
    The film is directly related to "The Tower of Darkness" by Stephen King. For...

    Creative background

    The story material on which the film is based comes from the novella of the same name written by Stephen King in 1984. However, when the novel was put on the big screen and was challenged by contemporary politics, Stephen King had no intention of creating political controversy. He believes that the story told in "The Mist" comes from the Vietnam War and various conflicts in that special period, and the part that may be questioned is...

    Evaluation action

    "The Mist" is actually exploring a possibility based on deep human nature, so it seems indisputable to the true and false, so that we, as human beings, cannot let go of it (Golden Eagle Online Review) . It is a mini piece that captures the essence of Stephen King's novel art (Sohu.com) . Not only is it full of suspenseful plots and character settings, but it also uses very few direct horror scenes. The shocking effect on the audience's...
