Chapter 479 Impermanence

In a supermarket on the west side of the town.

In the slightly arranged venue, people came and went.

Lyman stood in the far corner, watching the camera aimed at Cage, and then a woman walked in with her head lowered, and the cashier of the supermarket showed a disgusted expression...

Cut, Lyman said, picking up the megaphone. This one is over.

Nicolas Cage took a step back and sat in the chair next to him, waiting for someone to touch up his makeup, while his assistant took two bottles of water and handed it to Cage and Eva, who had just confronted him.

Good job, Eva. Lyman gave a thumbs up from a distance.

This is also Lehmann's consistent style. When dealing with actors, praise is always more than criticism.

After all, even if you lose your temper, it won't help you when you shoot, except to make yourself feel better.

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

Like a split in her character itself, Lyman chose Eva because she was the right fit.

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 character and can't ignore her.

...

It is death, the messenger sent by God to punish the world.

In the chaos, Eva stepped forward and shouted.

David raised his head slightly and kept backing away to protect his son.

The thick fog engulfed a group of survivors again, and everyone witnessed the tragedy, and panic further spread in the hearts of those trapped in the supermarket.

And this has fueled Eva's firmness in her faith. From the moment she explained it out loud, everything was different...

This episode is the turning point of the whole film.

It is not without reason that The Mist has achieved box office success, gained a good reputation, and was included in most horror movie lists.

Stephen King has written a maddening expression of anarchism with only one extremely clever setting.

Like the experiments in the Prisoner's Dilemma, the indescribable monster in the mist places the townspeople in an environment without laws and rules.

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

The Mist is not like The Grudge that directs terror to the toughness of the heart, invading the psychological defense zone of every audience, but emphasizes the trembling of the heart caused by the unfamiliar terror from the outside world.

What is even more interesting is that in a chaotic world, human nature is exposed and religion is rampant.

The transformation of the hearts of the trapped is also based on the transformation of promotion among religious fanatics played by Eva.

The first time was not long after the film started, an old man shouted and ran into the supermarket, saying that there was something hidden in the thick fog. At that moment, everyone in the supermarket was very rational, and 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 corpses were dragged back with rope bindings. The rationalists were smashed by reality and became blind followers. The religious character of this group has been annihilated,

I only hope to stand in line with the strongest who can see, seeking shelter is the only judgment that 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 up completely.

Religious zealots have also transformed from being hated by the townspeople to leaders, the saviors of everyone.

When the society was stable, her world only had religion. She abandoned human nature in the Bible and became obsessed. Everyone was bothered by her preaching behavior all the time.

But in the face of fear, she is the firmest in her belief. In her opinion, this is just a test from God, and she psychologically confirms her identity as a servant of God, and even wants to use a living sacrifice to please the god of death.

So, although she must say God, she can act like the devil.

Used to burn members of Bruno, a religious heretic, soldiers of the incited crusades. Countless histories have witnessed how bloodthirsty the people who lose the shackles of reason and are controlled by some extreme minds will be bloodthirsty.

Just like the opening of Pandora's Box, religion is the cloak of human civilization, and 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 is obviously about a very cliché monster attack, but it is written with an incomparably deep human nature.

The fog will eventually dissipate, but the heart will never come out.

As for the male protagonist, he is the embodiment of typical American heroism.

Never blind, nor superstitious, nor extreme.

He rarely jumps out to lead anything except the theists wanting to sacrifice his son alive.

He just tried to escape again and again.

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

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 the anger of the people.

In the second stage, everyone started to stand in line, divided into gangs to kill each other, and then the big theists annexed the atheists and sucked in most of the blind followers. The theistic Paton, who has just become a general trend, is scattered.

At the third stage, extinction or rebirth.

Because once the survival resources are reduced below the safety line, the dark forest will be produced. This is a sociological law, and it is not transferred due to human will.

Death is inevitable, survival is accidental.

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

The first woman who rushed out of the supermarket to look for her child survived; the black lawyer's belief collapsed, and she fled with people but became a feast for the monsters; the rise of religion, even the monster didn't hurt her, but died in the cold gun of the sneak attack The soldier who survived alone did not commit suicide, but died at the hands of the people he guarded...

Many, many blind followers are constantly switching sides, not knowing what happened, not knowing what to do, not knowing whether to believe in theology or science, and not knowing whether they will die or live tomorrow.

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

Who cares what the grass on the wall thinks when the wind blows?

Nobody cares, they don't care. Just like a human being can run over a few ants with one foot unconsciously, it doesn't matter what the ants are doing, and what does death or immortality have to do with the ants.

Finally, in this cold-eyed and cold supermarket, in the aria of the Bible, a group of people are still extravagantly praying for the rising of the sun...
