Good review. I hated the end...My friend writes...<br /><br />Good review. I hated the ending too. But I think it was the only ending that had the most impact.<br /> <br />But there is one ray of hope at the end. If you notice the trucks as they pass by you see the woman in the beginning of the story at the market. She had to run home to attend to her children she left behind. No one would go with her. She played the part very well. She survived and you see her in the truck with her kids. <br /> <br />I wish we had a closure for the people that ventured out of the market with the black lawyer guy. But it is assumed that they all died.<br /> <br />I thought Stephen King was making fun of religion, especially with the extremism we find today. I think he wrote this story decades ago, but showing how people when scared will convert very quickly to anything.<br /> <br />There is a disk #2 from Netflix for this movie. It contains more documentaries about how they made the film. I got through all of it last night. They even have a version of the movie in black and white which I started watching but probably won’t finish. <br /> <br />In the commentary tracks there is a discussion about how the audience doesn’t really get much information about why the mist occurred. It is assumed that it was the military’s fault. But the possibility is still open that after the ultimate final sacrifice at the end, things started looking better. Maybe the crazy religious lady was right all along. LOL<br /> <br />Bob WitmerJohn Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260059230972834649noreply@blogger.com
