Hollywood legendary director

In a supermarket west of the town.

People come and go in the slightly arranged venue.

Lyman was standing in the corner of the corner, watching the camera focus on Cage, and then a woman with her head down walked in. The cashier in the supermarket showed an expression of disgust...

"Cut," Lehmann picked up the megaphone and shouted, "This one is over."

Nicholas Cage stepped back and sat on the chair next to him, waiting for someone to make up for him. His assistant took two bottles of water and handed it to Cage and Eva who had just been playing.

"Good job, Eva." Lehman gave a thumbs up from a distance.

This is also Lyman's consistent style. He always treats actors with more praise than criticism.

After all, even if you lose your temper, other than making yourself feel better, it still doesn't help the shooting.

And Eva's performance has improved a lot from before.Especially when the character is a little bit evil, she has a kind of indifference from her bones, and she has a moving beauty.

Just like the split of her role, Lehmann chose Eva to play it because she was suitable.

He likes the process of shaping the character's temperament. The religious fanatic played by Eva should pierce the audience's heart like an awl. He hates the role and cannot ignore her.

...

"It's the god of death, the messenger sent by God to punish the world."

In the chaos, Eva shouted a step forward.

David raised his head slightly, protecting his son and backing away.

The thick fog swallowed another group of survivors. Everyone witnessed the tragedy. Panic spread further in the hearts of those trapped in the supermarket.

And this has contributed to Eva’s firmness in her faith. From the moment she explained it out loud, everything was different again...

This episode can be called a turning point for the whole film.

The reason why "Mist" was able to achieve box office success and a good reputation, was also included in most horror movie lists, not without reason.

Stephen King only used a very clever setting to write the crazy expression of anarchism.

Just like the experiment in the prisoner’s dilemma, the indescribable monster in the fog is tantamount to putting the residents of the town in an environment without laws and rules.

Friends and neighbors who get along day and night will gradually become strangers.

"The Mist" is not the same as "The Grudge", which puts terror into the heart and invades the psychological defense zone of every audience, but emphasizes the tremor caused by the horror from the outside world.

What's more interesting is that in troubled times, humanity is exposed and religion is rampant.

The transformation of the trapped person's mind is also based on the transformation of promotion between religious fanatics played by Eva.

The first time was shortly after the beginning of the film, an old man ran into the supermarket shouting, saying that something was hidden in the thick fog. At that moment, everyone in the supermarket was still very rational. The black lawyer played by Samuel, who was the representative, was still warning the old man. Don't spread rumors.

The second time, in front of everyone, a few people were swallowed by the thick fog, and finally only half of the corpse was dragged back with the rope binding. The rationalists were crushed by reality and became blind followers.The belief characteristics of this group have been annihilated, and they only hope to stand in line with the visible "strongest". Seeking asylum is the only judgment blind followers can make in the threat of dense fog.

The third time was when a small number of monsters broke through the supermarket, and the theists rose completely.

Religious fanatics have also transformed from being disgusted by the residents of the small town into a leading faction, the savior of everyone.

When the society was stable, her world only had religion. She abandoned her humanity in the "Bible" and became babbled. Everyone was annoyed by her preaching behavior all the time.

But when she really faced the fear, she was the most steadfast in her belief. In her opinion, this was just a test of God, and she psychologically confirmed her identity as a servant of God, and even wanted to please death with a living sacrifice.

So, although she must be called God, she can behave like a devil.

The followers of Bruno, who were regarded as religious heretics, were burned to death, and the soldiers of the instigated crusade.Countless history has witnessed how bloodthirsty people who lose their rational shackles and are controlled by some extreme thinking can be.

Just like the opening of Pandora's Box, religion, the coat of human civilization, their emergence is also a prediction of the evil side of human nature to the greatest extent.

Stephen King's novel is so powerful that it clearly talks about a very cliché monster attack, but it writes a very deep human nature.

The mist will eventually dissipate, but the heart will never exit.

As for the male protagonist, they are the incarnation of typical American heroism.

Never blind, nor superstitious, nor extreme.

Except for the theists who want to sacrifice his son alive, he rarely jumps out to guide him.

He just tried to escape with actions one after another.

In other words, in the dark forest system, he is neither a hunter nor a prey, but a bystander outside the rules of dissociation.

In the first stage, when both the good and the reckless died, he did not interfere, so the soldier who was killed was pushed out by popular anger.

In the second stage, everyone started to stand in teams, divided into gangs to kill each other, and then the big theists swallowed up the atheists and sucked in most of the blind followers. The protagonist group still did not make it, but as a last resort, someone in the team shot and killed the religious leader. The Theism Paidon, which has just become a general trend, is doing a bird and beast dispersal.

In the third stage, extinction or rebirth.

Because once the survival resources drop below the safety line, the dark forest will be produced. This is a sociological law and does not change due to human will.

Death is inevitable, but survival is accidental.

The fear of "The Mist" lies in the "impermanence" of the unknown destiny.

The first woman to rush out of the supermarket in search of a child finally survived; the black lawyer’s faith collapsed and fleeing with someone but became a feast for the monsters; the rise of religion, even the monster did not harm her, but died in a sneak attack ; The soldier who survived did not commit suicide, but died at the hands of the people he guarded...

Many blind followers are constantly changing camps, not knowing what happened, what to do, and whether they should believe in theology or science, let alone whether they will die or live tomorrow.

They just don't know anything, and subconscious vassals appear one after another.

Who cares what he thinks when the grass on the wall is blown by the wind?

No one cares, they don't care about it themselves.Just like a person will crush several ants unconsciously, it doesn't matter what ants are doing. What does death or immortality have to do with ants?

Finally, in this cold-eyed, icy supermarket, in the aria of the "Bible", the group is still asking for the sun to rise...
