The Mist (2007)
Thought Provoking
Yes, there are really bad gross like monster scenes. But this movie had my friends and I discussing life, how we make our choices, theology, power and lack of power in group dynamics. It is a movie worth watching once you get past the cheese gorey stuff. Viewing this movie through a theological lens from a variety of beliefs. Would you have hope, faith, judgements, like blaming others. If your Christian who is really the Judas, who was Christ, is the mist the holy spirit. All metaphorical of course. If your Buddhist was there anyone who found enlightenment? Who saught out forgiveness? Look at your own beliefs and can you see yourself as any one or multiple characters if so would you want to continue down that path? I think the ending questions one's faith and the fight for survival over fear of suffering. What do you think?
I See You (2019)
Excellent Concept Poor Execution
Is this a ghost story? Is it a murder mystery? Is it about a failing marriage? You don't know anything until the end. There are some drawn out parts where you just want to say, "alright already move on." One long part was filmed in a video camera style. That style is antiquated and boring. I don't watch my own home movies without editing them first. Music was not a great choice and not sure if they knew what they wanted or just compromised. The right music sets the tone without realizing you hear music. When its over you will definitely keep talking about it with whom ever you watch it with, and will analyze over and over again. But, not willing to rewatch to verify any holes. One scene a woman asks Helen Hunt's character about the investigation. Hunt seemed cold. It feels like the director wants you to feel its a small town, but is it really? Don't really know the characters. No depth, no passion, a good anger seen from the son. You really want to love them or hate them so at the end you are either heart broken or happy with the outcome. No matter what, definitely surprised.
