The Mist....Amazing IMO.

I just watched The Mist and I thought it was amazing. Such a great film. The whole "society" in the store was crazy , and the endig blew me away it was almost [spoiler] inhuman to the main character, what they did to him, defiantly the craziest ending I have ever seen. A minute...one minute and salvation [/spoiler]

Also there is an excerpt from my history book that I think fits perfect with the movie:

--"Meanwhile, Englishman Thomas Hobbes explored the notion of "sovereignty" as well as absolute authority. His seminal work, Leviathan (1651), emphasized man's need for security in a frightening, unstable world. As a way to express his ideas more clearly, Hobbes used the theoretical model of humans in the uncivilized, wild, and untamed original "state of nature." As Hobbes saw it, man's existence in this original "state of nature" had been "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." According to this view, the absence of law and security in a pre-political state of nature made men fear their neighbor and act as violent creatures. Moreover, individuals pursued their own interests for fear that others would steal from them if they did not act preemptively. Ultimately, in order to overcome this chaos, men forged a social compact that vested sovereignty and authority in an absolute ruler. Self-preservation was the justification of this rational contract. "

Just thought it kinda fit the movie to some extent.

The elements of insanity sure were present in this movie. I thought it was decent. Nowadays, it's like nearly impossible to put out a good horror movie. :?UTXII

I agree, that movie was really amazing, especially the incredible ending. You would expect one to think about a great movie a lot on the way home from the theater and possibly the next day, but after I saw that movie in theaters I simply could not stop thinking about just the ending. Yes, it was THAT incredible.

I love hte story. I prob read it 20 times before movie came out. I'm glad they stayed faithful to the book. I think this is the first book/movie transition thats been so like the book. The part where that humongous thing crosses the road is my favorite part. its so gigantic. i'm glad they included it too.

Personally (i say that because i know i'm alone in this) i felt the ending let the movie down.Apollo5000

yes you are,but i'm curious,wha's your aletrnative ending?
