The mist is a very interesting story written first by steven king and then later directed by Frank Darabont. The story starts off with a massive storm that hit a small town of louisiana near a military bace. wich made a bunch of folks go the grocery store to buy supplys after the destruction. so as the father played by Thomas Jane and his son were in the store a older man ran in screaming theres something in the mists as the thick cloud of mist covers the store. Everyones in a panic trying to figure everything out.
The father a young boy a store clerk and two matencemen go to the back loading dock to fix the generator and encounter something they never seen before and as they try to break it to the rest of the people some panic some try to rationalize and a few decied there all idiots and leave the store thinking theres nothing in the mist. The story goes on and it really shows a very divirse thought about how people react to such a confusing and scary situation. It makes me think about how would i act in this situation and not many movies can do that. What i really like about this movie is that it leaves alot for your imagination.
It didnt stick to the book exactly but what movie can? I think the change to the end made it alot more suspenceful and also shows that your will to survive can always improve. In the book it ended with the father and the boy in some random apertment with a radio looking for anyone and in the movie the father kills the last remaining survivers in an attemt to not die by being eaten. so in a crazy bad luck scenaro the father shot all his bullets and ran out before he got to hiself and then got really sad and started cry becasue of the situation then proceded to get out of the car to taught anything to kill him and then saw the army rolling by killing off any monsters. If only they had just waited a few moments more they would of all been saved. So thats my take on the movie hope i didnt spoil anythign for those who havent watched it yet.
My goal here is to excite you that there are good movies out there. The secret window was also an awesome movie. This was also a movie that derived from literature by Steven King. This movie was about a man played by Johnny Depp that was a writer that had been going though a messy divorce and was living in a very secluded house in the middle of nowhere so he could write his books in peace. when all the sudden a man knocked on his door claiming that he had stole his story. So when Mort (Johnny Depp) tried to get his article printed on an earlier date then this random mans story he found his old house burned to the ground and that's when things really started to escalate and he found his dog dead with a screw driver in its head. then Mort called an old friend of his to get the story he showed him the story and eventually found out he was making a dual personality. this movie really does a great job portraying someone that lost everything and how it eventully had him sick in the head. This movie had a lot of twists and turns and was very well written. The book was obviously better then the movie but what movie based on a book is? lots be honest books will always be better. This was one of those movies that you finish and you were very glad you watched it and that's a rare commodity these days. However if you look hard enough you can find those few great movies. unfortunaly a lot of Steven Kings movies are B rated movies on the sifi channel.
I have a stright forward goal and that's to show you there is good movies out there and The Shawshank redemption was by far one of the better movies i have ever seen. The story came from the auther Steven king. Originaly once a book brought to life by directer Frank Darabont. The story was about a very successful man named Andy Dufresne that had his beloved wife leave him for another man deciding to shot his wife and her lover be instead sobered up and realized that was the right way to go about it. However a disgruntaled waiter killed them that same night and the athories blamed it on Andy. Andy was sentenced to life in prison. This is were the real story of hardship, friends and an act of freedom happens. I very much enjoyed this movie becasue it had such realisitc veiws of what it would really be like in prison at that time. What kinds of freinds you make, what kinds of enemies you would have and what the toll of prison does to a man. In the end Andy gets what he deserves and breaks out of prison to freedom in mexico and on top of that makes a life long friend that finds him after being paroled from prison.This movie really inspired my ambition to be more succsseful becuase it goes to show you only have one life to live and so how will you live it? This movie also shows the faults in our court system and how we could falsely accuse and inicent man and throw his life away beacuse they had the wrong man. This movie also shows that in spite of everything going wrong sometimes there is a light at the end of the tunnel and good things can happen.
