      I think the theme isn’t as decisive as “don’t give up hope” and more of a juxtaposition of the extremes of hope - on one end you have an extremist version of having faith that leads to death(s) and on the other end you have the complete absence of faith that also leads to death(s)

    After watching Nikki and Steve absolutely shit on this movie for a full reaction, it is such a breath of fresh air to see you two actually pay attention and think about the characters.

    • @sandpiperr
      @sandpiperr Před rokem +5

      Agreed.
      Honetly, I think maybe there's two kinds of horror movie fans. Those who are scared by paranormal stuff and those who are more scared by the movies where the real theme the horror of human nature.
      Nikki and Steven are definitely paranormal types.
      They loved Insidious, but I even saw it in the theater and it was...fine. I never got why people think it's so amazing, though, because it seems like just another basic horror film to me.
      I'm also only rarely scared my paranomal stuff, because I don't believe in much of it.
      Nikki and Steven treated this kind of like a cheesy creature feature, whereas, although David made jokes too, he also understood that what they were really portraying was the human condition. Nikki and Steven, though, just couldn't get past their usual "That's so stupid! If I were there I'd be running away already...blah blah blah" commentary.
      I guess maybe their reaction to this film made me realize that the reason their reactions to films like Insidious are entertaining is because Insidious wasn't a movie that stuck with me. It was just a basic horror movie, so laughing at Nikki yelling "no bitch!" a million times is funny and doesn't bug me because I couldn't have cared less about the movie itself.
      Although, I must say, it's pretty rich they were laughing at the tentacle monster this but not demon who's Tiny Tim fan in Insidious. That looked just as fake.

    The mist itself (and its monsters) come from the "thinny" - a Lovecraftian/nightmare space between dimensions from King's Dark Tower series of books. Jane is painting a Dark Tower poster in scene 1 - specifically Roland passing through the thinny.

      @@DavidvsFilm Most if not all of Stephen King's books are related to The Dark Tower series in some way or another. It's sort of like a multiverse thing where some characters have a presence in multiple worlds or books. It's kind of complicated, but I love it. The Dark Tower series is up there with The Lord of the Rings as my favorite book series, and it was always fun to read other books of his to see the tie-ins.

    Finally you watched The Mist! This is my favorite Stephen King’s movie!!!
    I knew you would love it just as much as I did. And that ending… GOOOOOOOD!! So awful and unexpected!! Completely heartbreaking
    Plot twist: So, when the filmmakers got The Mist rights for the movie, they planned a different ending for the movie than from the book itself.
    In the book, the story ends when they are in the car and see the Behemoth (the giant creature at the end) and without David knowing about his wife, they just continue down the road with a faint radio signal blurting the word “Hartford”, providing some hope. But they decided to go with this awesome, incredible, stunning and heartbreaking end… and i totally loved it!!!

    I hope these "as we go" helps
    1. In context it is similar to what King did with The Stand except in this case it's monsters and not a virus.
    2. Jeffery DeMunn is known as a favorite of director Frank Darabont, who has cast him in all four of his
    films: "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994), "The Green Mile" (1999), and "The Mist" (2007). All King
    adaptations. He was also in what King himself says is the best adaptation of his work. "Storm of the Century".
    3. William Sadler also was in Shawshank and The Green Mile.
    4. Frances Sternhagen was in "Misery" by King.
    5. Marcia Gay Harden kills this role.
    6.The big guy that goes out with the rope around his waist was going to be King doing that role himself, but he was
    shot down by Darabont.
    7. This is not how the book ends. Darabont wanted this ending. King later said that as horrific that it is he likes
    better than his.
    8. Stephen King. You're welcome.

    the painting he's working on at the beginning of the film is of Roland and the Dark Tower Series. The Dark Tower is King's greatest work and this and pretty much all of his books tie into the Dark Tower universe. Also the kid that plays the main soldier boy is the voice of Darth Maul.
    And since there's not a sequel. The monsters in the Mist came through a doorway the govt. made. The doorway leads to either another world/dimension (possibly MidWorld/ EndWorld of Roland's plane of existance), or simpley to Todash space. the space between dimensions where the ancient ones dwell

    Loved your humor in this video, helped me get over that ending I hate lol. I LOLed so much at the mini tribute for the bag boy and when the joke of being the worst pinata hitter came up. Overall this movie is very upsetting and I feel the same way every time I see it. It's good but very hard hitting because of all the characters you care for.
    I have not seen the show based on the short story, I hear pro n con with it but if you have seen it love to hear your thoughts on it. Quite a few WALKING DEAD actors here of course Frank Derrabont being involved and I can relate to Thomas Jane's character. Great review as always.

    B-movie? Granted, it was only $18mil budget, but it was 2007. And at the time Thomas Jane was A-list. While he, Marcia Gay Harden, and Toby Jones are all three critically acclaimed actors. Marcia even has an Oscar.

    • @DavidvsFilm
      @DavidvsFilm  Před rokem

      Hey I was pretty close on the budget!! Yeah, re: the. B list reference, you have to remember Marc is thinking A-list in his terms of the actors he knows as a casual movie watcher like Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise. He's not as big of a fan of movies in general like you would be, so Toby Jones he definitely does not know, and even Thomas Jane. MGH he knows, but not from things you or I would probably love her in like Pollock or Mystic River (or even my favorite Used People), rather from seeing her recently in Uncoupled.

    I just read recently that in the old book of the Christianity there are 2 giant creatures, one represent the hope and good thing and the other represent the death.
    The creature that they saw at the end before him killing them, was the the one who represents the hope and survival .. but all of them didn't know or noticed because they were only focused on surviving.
    It's was the alien creature but another creature that everyone has knowledge about that would remain calm and feel safe.

      I am sorry not to remember the name of that creature but i almost blown away by that.
      Ironically if the crazy lady saw that creature she would known it for sure and get out of the car because of what it's represent to any believer.

    This 2007 movie cost a total of 18 million US dollars to almost 20 million, the budget though depends on the quality of the movie, at the time this was considered cutting edge graphics and the budget back then was 10 to 20 million for High quality HD movies, but in the last roughly 10 years or so we have come very far with CGI, so today a movie like this using the best technology would cost roughly 50 to 100 million in today's money, That's just in the matter of 10 years, in the last 20 to 30 it has significantly changed, back then it was in the Hundreds of thousands.

    This is one of the few times I don't like the director's cut. All he does is make it black and white. While some people say this adds to the film, I respectfully disagree.
    Fun Fact: Frank Darabont agreed to make the film with Dimension only under the condition that no matter what, they wouldn't change the scripted ending. They agreed.
    Black Mesa Fact: The original Stephen King novel was also the inspiration for the video game Half-Life (1998), where scientist at a top secret military base are running experiments with inter-dimensional portals and open the flood gates to its hostile inhabitants.
    Gun Enthusiast Fact: Amanda has an empty six-shot revolver and two full speed-loaders in her purse. This means there are twelve rounds of ammunition for the revolver. During the course of the movie, exactly twelve rounds are fired before the revolver is out of ammunition.
