Frank Darabont's The Mist - Was Mrs. Carmody Right All Along?
Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden) is a character we love to loathe. The wicked lady serves as a secondary antagonist in Frank Darabont’s The Mist; an adaptation of Stephen King’s novella of the same name. When an ominous mist rolls into town harboring terrifying creatures within, the townspeople are trapped inside their supermarket and religious zealot Mrs. Carmody thrives, believing this is the beginning of the Apocalypse. The lady is infamous around town for organism sanctimonious and unstable. It comes as no surprise that when the Mist arrives, Mrs. Carmody inserts herself into the role of a prophet of the Lord, claiming her faith gives her divine protection against the monsters.
However, as much as her character is depicted as an eccentric, bloodthirsty fanatic, she was technically right in most of her predictions. It begs the question, were Mrs. Carmody’s religious ramblings accurate? Is the Mist sent from a wrathful God as a subscribe of the finish times? Or were her predictions merely a coincidence?
At the beginning of the film, when we first see the Mist, Mrs. Carmody says “it’s
How Marcia Gay Harden in The Mist Perfectly Portrays Fundamentalism and Cult Leaders
The ability of Stephen Kingto bring to life our greatest fears is undeniable. He even wrote one of his greatest books about materializing them. There’s no question he knows us to perfection, and he knows where to hit us. Exactly where it hurts.
Yet, King has always gone deeper than the surface of what’s extremely obvious and contemporaneous. He travels to the mundane plane and makes up stories about demons you can actually visualize, see, and practically even touch. Of course, there’s a supernatural element to most of his operate, but the drive behind the monsters is often human, and one of his most disturbing human characters was brought to life brilliantly by Marcia Gay Hardenin The Mist.
The Power of Creed in The Mist
In his horror novella The Mist, King depicts a town suddenly under assault. Nevertheless, he goes deeper, exploring a more intimate setting. He stays within the boundaries of a small town supermarket, where survivors lock themselves up because there’s a threat outside. That threat is something out of this world and so unlikely, he nearly touches
I watched The Mist years ago and, like everyone else who has seen it, I never forgot that ending and never will. The rest, I remember hating Marcia Queer Harden’s character with all my heart, and for some reason, she did not win an Oscar for that performance. Not even a nomination!
Anyway, the rest is mostly forgettable, but it’s already excel than many Stephen King adaptations. If anyone knows how to adapt King’s work, it’s Frank Darabont. That said, this isn’t his best work, largely because it’s a monster movie undermined by a simplistic allegory of Bush-era America. At least, that’s how some people place it. Personally, I would be less demagogic and simply say that there are too many unintelligent people in this movie.
The story begins with a thunderstorm in Bridgton, Maine. The next day, David Drayton (played by Thomas Jane), his eight-year-old son Billy (Nathan Gamble) and their neighbour Brent (Andre Braugher) go into town together to buy supplies. Many other people had the same idea, and the local store is full when Dan Miller (Jeffrey DeMunn) arrives, panicking and saying that something in the mist is killing people. Soon, the mist spr
There's something in the mist!
Or 'Stephen King's The Mist' if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
In the get up of a terrible storm, a mysterious fog (I've already used 'Mist' too many times) descends over a minor town in Maine, trapping several people inside a convenience store, including show poster artist David Drayton (Thomas Jane, it what should rightfully be a career-making role), his son Billy, store manager Ollie Weeks (Toby Jones) and Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden), a local eccentric who perceives the mist as the termination of the nature. Why so much concern about the mist? Well, there's something in that mist...
I've been looking forward to this film for some time as I like the perform of screenwriter-director Frank Darabont and his previous adaptations of King stories contain, in my belief, made for very good films. Not masterpieces, but very good films
I'm not against this story formula, mind you. Most zombie movie follow it, and 30 Days of Nightwas the best vampire movie I've ever seen. The enemy this period is, predictably enough, in...the mist. DUH DAH DUMMMMM!!! The building that townspeople gather in happens to be a grocery store. So we've got a novel location and mysterious natural-looking phenomenon. With those two elements, you could make a taut, well-dressed horror/thriller with no problem. You could even depart the original Dawn of the Deadroute and apply the location as a commentary on consumerism. Or you could do what writer/director Frank Darabont did and do nothing of the sort.
Instead, we obtain insuf
