Misery. the legs. "Hobbling"
Without a doubt one of the most brutal endings to a movie EVER.
Everyone always expects a happy ending….
Yeah, this and Seven are probably the most brutal and unhappy endings to any movie!
@@bruno3778 boy in the striped pajamas
To think this is not the original ending...😢
@@Prkwon Stephen king said he loved this ending even better
The best thing is that King liked this ending more than how he ended his book
How did the novel end?
@@rustysmittyfulThey just keep driving. They think maybe the nearby town of Hartford might be safe.
@rustysmittyful It ended with them just driving and Dave hearing Hartford and hope through a radio transmission
I remeber that i think that he practically said "Damn I wish i had writen that".
@@isaibravo3917 yup
The people who said "he needed patience" or "how could he do that" are the same people who think they could probably fight a polar bear and win.
they're the people who think they survive the zombie apocalypse because they've seen the movies, but they're the ones who hide their bites from the others and get someone else killed by being foolish or confusing foolishness for bravery.
Not only that, but the people in that car weren't asking for any patience. If one of them had, things would have been different, but they had understandably given up at that moment.
No. We are the people who would have closed the vents so our scent wouldn't get out, and then spent some time discussing things and saying goodbye - especially to our child. We are the people who would have held out hope until the monsters were right outside before we gave in. And we are the people who would have survived, with our child and friends beside us.
No, they are just the ones who would fight to the end! Only cowards would take that way out
@@Ldiablo3 Slow zombies? no problem. 28 days later Zombies? no effing way.
Possibly the most effective and impactful divergence from a novel ever
Lmao I know!! Crazy difference
How did the novella end?
@@k1productions87 Nothing, it was left ambiguous, they just like drive into the fog. Stephen King actually liked this ending more than his book ending.
@@donttrustme6262 Very rare times do directors hit upon an idea that actually improves the original. But its really cool when it does.
@@donttrustme6262 obviously..King can't end his stories well
To the ones vilifying Thomas Jane’s character: what was he supposed to be patient about? They had no way to know that ANYONE was coming, much less survived this. They all just watched the creatures BRUTALLY tear everyone else apart, as well as the destruction left in their wake. This absolutely made sense.
I know! Like they forget that these characters had already endured days of living hell.
💯
He doesn't deserve vilifying, but he does serve as an example; sometimes you need to cling on to hope, even if pure logic is telling you not to.
Thank you.
Yh clinging to hope as t he watches his family being torn limb from limb@@pinkkfloydd
King and Darabont were like “I think we’ve built up enough audience good faith with Shawshank and the Green Mile that we can REALLY mentally damage these fuckers!”
Stephen King wrote shawshank?
@@HugoStiglitz88 yup yup, it’s a novella “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption”
To be fair, the Green Mile also had a lot of misfortune and a sad ending, though I guess it was ultimately hopeful, as opposed to nihilistic.
@@user-lb9xw4xf2q true and in that one it’s kind of a blessing that they left out what happened Jan in the book.
Most people think this ending is about timing, that they should have waiged a bit longer, but is not, is about hope versus despair. Losing hope is the real evil.
And weirdly what the religious lady said came true
See the Beggemot made them lose it, where are they going to go now? What if the whole world is the same?
Sometimes the only choices you can see, are between bad, and worse. In this case, between a swift death by bullet to the head, or a slow agonizing death being eaten alive. And if you wait too long, the choice may be taken away from you.
@@danieldickson8591 BS. He could shoot everyone in the car when the monster shows up.
Worst thing is that he was actively driving away from being rescued. The military was like 5 minutes behind them.
So few horror movies these days actually make you feel horror.
Remember they drove until the gas ran out, that was hours, to them there was no ending to the mist.
When he is starting into the camera at the end, what is the most horrific thing he could ever see in the mist? Salvation.
Brilliant ending. You will never forget it.
I know! I tell people stuff like that all the time, Horror movies are Supposed to be Horror, They’re supposed to be disturbing and make you uncomfortable, Yk, Horror, No matter how many times I say we need more horror that convey Actual horror, Like, Killing everyone including killing his own son. Only to find out the military was already cleaning it up, I slightly enjoy bad endings more then good ones if they’re done correctly and make sense. You ever see “The Sadness”? Not much plot but holy hell, It’s literally like watching Hell unfold on earth, That’s exactly how I’d describe the film lol
Salvation lies within.
The greatest horror of this film isn't the mist, or the monsters, or even the deranged people. It's that David Drayton will now have to live with killing his son and his friends, for nothing. Being eaten alive would have been more merciful.
@@fenderbender2096 wrong Steven King adaptation by Frank Darabont. But i see what you did there.
Everyone always talks about how messed up the ending is and it definitely is, but not enough is said about Thomas Jane's acting. He was incredible in this scene.
Yeah the guy should have been bigger than he is
Absolutely agree with you. Not sure if you've seen Thomas Jane in the short titled *The Punisher Dirty Laundry.* It's here on youtube just type the title in the search bar. Made in 2012 it's run time is only 10:15. Way better than the Punisher movie that he made with John Travolta.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241Yeah I guess that was him trying to get the MCU’s attention for a punisher revival or something.
I guess that’s Hollywood, he had a few lead roles but never got to that mega star level 🤷♂️, I remember he tried going under just “Tom Jane” for a bit. Shame.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241 Thank you for the recommendation!
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241 Thanks for that suggestion. I will definitely check it out!
"Fuck you Stephen King" To be fair that was Darabounts ending not Stephen King's 😅
King does reference the idea in the novella. When Darabont read it, it inspired this ending.
But King said he actually liked this one better than his :D
@@RenegadeSamurai Lol I know. He's still a messed up man, but if you read his books he's a sucker for having at least a glimmer of hope in a lot of his stories, but he loves giving credit where it's due. The ending of the movie definitely elevates the story in a really unforgiving way :D
@@danielrafferty4108 It's a bit of flash for the ending but it degrades the story. It's completely contrary to the message of the narrative. It's also highly derivative of the ending of the Poseidon Adventure.
@@alphanerd7221 It doesn't really degrade the story. It's not contrary to the message if you think about the mechanics of the scene. Everyone's already in a moving open vehicle heading up the road they broke down on. This indicates to me that the mist is already clearing.
I think the real tragedy there is for as long as he lives before finding the next available exit of this world he'll be stuck thinking whether she was right, and what that means about god even though it's all just happenstance.
The premise itself is a spin on the Poiseidon adventure, I will give you that, but i disagree with the rest of your assessment.
Carrol can't be killed. She will survive.
Funny you said that. She does die in the comics while her daughter lived.
"He made a quick decision" yeah, after driving for hours with literally no hope in sight, in a world that is most likely over run with deadly other worldly creatures. Yeah, pretty quick and rash...
💯
Yeah, it was.
@@alphanerd7221 Okay clown. You tell me that you after you've seen everyone you known be brutally killed/eaten/etc by otherworldly monsters after being in the mist for mere seconds, that after you drive for hours and not see any hope of rescue or safety, and have no knowledge if the rest of the world is like this or help is coming...you're going to spend an extra considerable amount of time debating on how continue? Or are you going to decide that a quick painless death now is much better than a potentially slow brutal and agonizing death that will probably happen within the next minute or two?
The movie made it seem quick cause who wants to actually watch a car drive until it runs out of gas :D
I remember the actual rage in the theatre I was in when the army tank showed up out of the mist. People were UPSET. A powerful ending.
Everyone being upset about it means the director was very successful. This movie will not be forgotten any time soon.
Can we take a minute to appreciate Thomas Jane's performance tho!?
Honestly tho!!! I'm watching this movie after I finished the show yesterday. They are on a WHOLE other level. This movie just... fucking broke me. His screaming was so raw and brutal.
People seem to forget that happy endings in stories is a relatively new thing. Many stories way back when were tragedies. For example Romeo and Juliet.
We have been spoiled over the last few decades. I actually enjoy when a movie or TV show gives me a hard core ending that throws me off.
💯
Yes,it makes for an intriguing and compelling change of pace.
Merchant of Venice. Happy endings have been around forever.
Sure happy endings have been. But the need to make unsatisfactory ones into happy ones is newer. @@alphanerd7221
The most devastating, soul crushing ending of any film ever. This is one you will never unsee.
Out of the millions of movies Hollywood has produced since being created, I doubt that's true.
Obviously you have never seen "A Serbian Film"
💯
Years after it's always stucked with me. Chef d'œuvre.
@@yippykiyay89I did but nothing to compare with this movie. Please.
@@yippykiyay89 Now that is a really messed up movie indeed.
Top 5 most gruesome movies i have seen.
Saw and hostel movies don't even hit that list.
This is what happens when the studio doesn't interfere with the making of a movie!
Most gut-wrenching ending since Se7en. If Pitt, Freeman, and Spacey hadn't threatened to walk from the movie, the studio would have had their way with Tracy being saved, a dog head in the box, and Sommerset shooting Doe. The studio had to admit later that it was wrong big time.
I'd have been more upset if it was a doggo lol
@@PhantomFilmAustralia didn'tknow that. Bless them for standing up to this ending!
I’m not sure what this refers to, considering this isn’t a 1-1 adaption to the novella’s ending, it’s much grimier and dark than the original, the original ending was more vague and open to interpretation, with the characters just driving with a sliver of hope they make it Hartford after hearing it mentioned in a broken radio transmission.
@@thetalkingstick9214 The studio wanted Frank Darabont to tone down his film ending. Stephen King backed Darabont, and the director reminded the studio of their contact that if the film was made for under $20 million, the director will get final cut of the film. I was, and so he did.
I like how ppl try to cope. It’s called a tragedy people….thats the point of the movie. And tragedies happen all the time
💯
People are so hard on his character, when he made a ridiculously selfless decision. It’s crazy to me. He didn’t want his friends and son to suffer. Yes, he lost hope, and yes, they missed their chance at life past the mist, but that’s not the point. Feel for this poor man. He will suffer for this moment for all of his remaining days
I totally agree with you. They just didn't get it I think ;)
I throw myself under the tank tracks before I'd live with that
This is not how the book ends. Darabont wanted this ending. King later said that as horrific that it is he likes it better. What makes this ending more devastating is he has to live with it the rest of his life 🥵
Amazing how clueless some of these reactors are. It's made very clear that they just drove for hour and hours trying to get beyond the mist and failed. They accepted their fate and died on their terms. Rescue inexplicably showing up doesn't change that perfectly simple fact
Ya, they blame him for the groups decision....
Clueless
“Amazing how clueless some of these reactors are” and who are you 🫵🏻 to dictate how someone should respond and feel? 🤔 Only a simpleton (LIKE YOURSELF) would publicly embarrass one’s self in such a manor. Learn from this public interaction, and rely on your better angels. And on that note, I bid you a fond adieu. Good day 🧐🎩
@@Daylin821 😂🤡😂
I know right? These reactors. As many films as they watch it seems like most of them don't pay attention. Everyone's so tough/smart from their air conditioned, neon lit streamer den. If I were David in his exact position I'd have done the same. There was literally nothing about their car journey that hinted that humanity was making a comeback against The Mist. Their situation was hopeless until The Mist parted. I'd gladly take a bullet before getting mauled to death by any of those creatures.
@@JohnDAmico-ci2hz I wouldn’t expect any other response from a defective DNA 🧬 genome. Let’s refrain from publicly humiliating your parents any further…..with what came from their loins.
It’s amazing that they figured out something more horrifying to come out of the mist in that moment than the creatures
People forget that the scene before this shows them driving for quite a while in what felt like a world completely overrun by these creatures, until the vehicle ran out of gas. It's the only reason it seems justified at the moment.
But the meaning of The Mist was always about not losing hope and giving into fear. Fear drove the shoppers in the store to turn on each other and drove them away from where they should have stayed. They are so overwhelmed by their fear and by what seems like a hopeless situation, they forget that the mist appeared in mere moments, and as it shows, could have dissipated just as quickly. The one who lived was the one who cared so much about her kids she braved the mist.
RELIGION drove the shoppers in the store to turn on each other and drove them away from where they should have stayed.
"Why? Why? Why?"
Well... Mr Broken Record doesn't seem to get that a bullet to the brain is fast and painless, unlike the toothy tentacles of the big aliens, or being used as a living incubator for the acid web spiders, or the poison in the stingers of those scorpion dragonflies. In that moment, that was the most humane and noble thing to do. Stuck in the middle of a seemingly endless mist filled with monsters, with an empty tank of gas... I'd have done that as well.
"... the other people, but your son?"
Aaand we're going even deeper into the bad take. Have mercy towards other people, but your son? Condemn him to the fate you've seen so many people meet in the last dew days. Be cruel to him.
Couldn't agree more with you.
While true, I think the reaction was more based on how difficult that decision would be regarding your own child. Overriding the parental instinct to protect to give your child a swift “merciful” death would be far more difficult than the others in that situation.
They're just animals.
And then the Russian chick in red was even worse, came across as a total man-hater, she was actually reveling in how stupid she thought he was, saying "he deserved it".
Ironically missing how vile that statement was, because she's effectively saying it's good those people, including his son, died, because he "deserved" it. 🤬
He didn't really truly understand the movie. Maybe with hindsight he will. In the film when hunkered down in the supermarket with the killer aliens outside and with growing mad hysteria inside, Amanda says that "People are basically good; decent. My god, David, we're a civilized society."
David replies back, "Sure, as long as the machines are working and you can dial 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the shit out of them - no more rules." "You scare people badly enough, you can get 'em to do anything. They'll turn to whoever promises a solution."
The film basically is about human nature. When scared and stressed in a foreign environment with no society, even the most sophisticated and logical minds can be reduced to its fundamental primal state of sacrifice and survival.
This ending was absolutely BRUTAL.
King has said he loved the way Darabont ended this and that he wished he'd had the balls to do it like this as well. It is quite possibly the most brutal, crushing ending to a movie and it is simply brilliant from a story-telling perspective.
This ending is like Teletubbies compared to "A Serbian Film" and it's ending
Cheap twist.
The way some of these reactors interpret the main character and the ending makes it feel like they only tuned in to watch the last 10 minutes instead of absorbing the entire movie start to finish lol. It feels so easy and superficial to say things like "oh, he's so stupid" "how could he do that to his son" "why didn't he wait 5 more minutes" when like...regardless of the fact that he couldn't have possibly known that help was coming, this is the point! That's the tragedy and the horror! What seemed like a noble and painful sacrifice to save everyone from a brutal death at the hands of monsters, leaving just him to suffer instead, turned out in an agonizing twist to be a senseless waste he'll have to live with for the rest of his life. It's a horror that sticks with you and is what makes this movie so iconic.
Everybody is forgetting that his kid made him promise to not let the monsters get him. But I would made sure the monsters were right there at least.
He didnt want his kid to die in fear.
But he couldn't even do that for the monster killed the child and the child had to look at the monster killing him
@@Reverendshot777 His kid did die in fear.
The book is almost always better, but Darabont killed it with his revision. In the book they leave it ambiguous, they drive away in to the Myst.
Not the shining. The movie is much better
@@HugoStiglitz88 The movie does have my favourite twist ending in film history, so yeah, True...I suppose
@@HugoStiglitz88 Not even close. Kubrick made it a cheap slasher flick.
Just 16 and a half minutes of TH-camrs dying inside! 🤣
That movie set my moral: never give up.
Like the people at the beginning who didn't give up and ended up dying horrible deaths.😎👍
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Like the woman at the end who didn't give up, and saved her children's lives. 😎 👍
@@tevenpowell8023 She fared better than the guy who didn't give up and got bitten in half, or the guy who didn't give up and got dragged out by a toothed tentacle, or the guy who didn't give up and became host by alien spider creatures, or the guy aho didn't give up and got burned by acidic webs, or the guy that didn't give up and got snatched away from the parking lot, or the woman that didn't give up and suffered a horrible death from the flying alien giant insect bite, or the guy who....I'm sorry, were you trying to make some kind of a point?🤔
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 My bad. I didn't realize you were so attached to your pessimism.
Guess they should've just offed themselves in the store then. Apparently that would've been your choice.
@@tevenpowell8023 There is no evidence that those who remained in the store weren't rescued.
It appears that you are the pessiMIST.
I don't understand why many people call him stupid. The heroes decided that the world was doomed (especially after such horrors that they saw and when monsters were growling everywhere), and if you choose between death from monsters or from a bullet, then a bullet is better.
Darabont went for the throat with this ending.
Such a great film maker
he cant help but leave you with a jawdropper of an ending.
The brilliance of this video is it really shows how dumb reactors are when they have to give a real opinion. Most of them came off incredibly stupid. It’s like they daydreamed through the movie and woke up for the ending.
All these people thought they were about to die horrible deaths. I guess better to watch his son die in horrible agony, or dad dies first, dies knowing his son will now be alone with these monsters. He was giving everyone quick deaths and sacrificing himself to get the horrible death.
This comment here, you can instantly tell who didn't get the point when they say stupid shit like, he should have had patience lol
(Top comment)
100%.
I think you didn't get the point bro, why bother commenting all this
And they also think he just unilaterally decided to murder everyone. They obviously all agreed to it (except the son) instead of being eaten by monsters or filled with spider babies.
Plus, the kid told his father not to let the monsters get him, and he thought they were just about to be killed from the monsters, so the father did what the promised his son.
@09:40 Why is it that the English couple (and it seems most people after them) doesn't get what was happening, the reasons why he did what he did? They seem to think he can see into the future somehow. I don't think they got into the film properly. They didn't try to wait for what?
💯
Because most people think themselves above those who make these types of decisions. They're not in it so they refuse to put themselves in such a situation to truly understand why someone would make such a decision.
If he had just seen Carol home like she asked in the beginning, they would have been ok. That’s the real kick in the pants.
Hilarious how many dumb reactors were angry and asking why he did it. They all seriously imply it would have been exactly the same to be eaten by monsters as to have it ended instantly with a bullet. Some of them are even confused like they can’t even comprehend why he chose to do it. Like, of course he should have known that moments later the apocalypse would be cleared right up.
Too many today have no idea how to immerse themselves. Let alone being able to rationalize and empathize...far too easy to say what you would have done from the safety of your home in the sheltered bubble far greater people than you fought and died to achieve..
Yeah, and most of them were saying he should have waited 5 more minutes, he was more than likely after driving for hours as he had run out of gas. They all saw that the mist hadn't cleaned by then, so why would they expect it to clear all of a sudden now. Also everyone seems to forget that his son made him promise to not let the monsters get him, as sad as it was a bullet to the head was more humane than being killed by one of the monsters.
@@nh9894And they had ALREADY endured days of hell before even getting in the truck.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 yes, exactly
Normies and npcs should have never been allowed into geek culture. Bet those tourists couldn't read an entire fiction book to save their life.
I know this has been said over and over, but the people saying he made a quick decision or didn't have patience are clueless.
Thank you!.
These reactors got it wrong this time.
They don't understand the actual story.
Guess it needs to be read first.
This is one of those ending that will ALWAYS stick with you. I still remember the reaction my friends and I had when we first saw this. Absolute pure shock.
Teenage me saw this in the theaters back in 2007... I don't think I've ever recovered from the gut punch.
That Russian girl is so adorable lol someone give her a hug
This happens when you watch a movie just for entertain yourself instead of put yourself into the character shoes...
Exactly. You take the words out of my mouth 🤣.
It's just like having a friend who always claimed that he guessed the twist already in every plot twist we showed him 😁.
Some of the people that are reacting in the video are calling him a villain. I don't see how he's the villain. Everyone died. They all thought there was no hope and he made a decision. I don't want to see my son and these people be killed by these monsters or whatever they are so he decides to take them out and then risk getting himself killed by one of the creatures.
I know it's a movie but did he know the military was going to show up?
And to some of the reactor saying no patience makes no sense.
They all would have been killed in the car by the creatures if the military never showed up.
He's not a villain it's just a very messed up ending.
We seem to live in a world where everyone expects and demands a happy ending. A lot of these reactors are clearly not parents. He was literally trying to save the people closest to him from a fate worse than death. If he had a crystal ball he would not have done what he did.
💯
not only that, they're pinning it ALL on the guy. Every adult in that vehicle agreed to take the bullet. He agreed to be the one left behind to be eaten. So it wasnt just his decision either. The whole group had asked for a mercy death. They didnt want to be eaten and mauled by monsters.
King himself said this is a more King ending then how the book ended
I saw this movie in theaters with my dad when I was 17. My dad had read the novella. It was a great memory watching this with him. You should've heard the theater when this happened. It was a mixture of silence, crying, and sniffling.... It was a once in a lifetime experience. Absolutely brilliant.
Also, kudos to Tom Jane for that powerful performance at the end; no dialogue, just screams of despair and then disbelief, and there is so much emotion.
God this ending was a gut punch.
There's a theory that because the boy was finally "sacrificed," that's why the mist finally started to go away.
How could that theory make sense when it literally shows the mist disappearing because soldiers are fighting the monsters with flamethrowers?
That theory is definitely wrong......In the film "there is a controversial and tragic event involving the boy, which occurs independently of the mist's dissipation. The mist eventually clears, but the circumstances surrounding the boy's fate are not directly linked to its disappearance".
It's his origin story as the Punisher😂😂😂
Who is he gonna punish? Himself? Lol
One of the most heartbreaking and devastating endings I've ever seen in a horror film.
First off, this was NOT King's original ended, the writer for the movie did it and King liked it better then his own ending. 2nd. NO ONE gives him shit UNTIL they see the Army rolling thru, then somehow protecting his son and the rest from what ALL the adults were sure would be a terrifying and painful death was wrong, he needed more patience and blah blah. Just how long would YOU have waited? Any moment, sitting stranded like that, you could be attacked. A bullet is fast, clean and painless thru the brain. Mercy kill is greater then a brutal kill. We do things in the moment that we feel is right and for the best. It just don't always turn out to be the right call. He did it, again, out of MERCY and was willing to face whatever horror awaited for his "reward" for said Mercy.
Thank you.
Probably the greatest HORROR movie ever.
The tremendous amount of love that a parent must have for their child to be able to personally end their life to prevent unfathomable suffering is evidently more than many can comprehend.
So many of these reactors and commentators are painfully stupid.
I loved this ending. It is so polarizing. My wife hates it because it is so bleak; said it ruined the whole movie.
I actually think the ending is better than the rest of the movie lol
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 true the rest of the movie is mid
@@Meister2499 yea exactly. The movie is a mid horror flick but the ending is pretty gutsy.
I watched in theatres and i walked out cussing all the way to the car. 😂😂Crazy ending.
I have never seen The Mist. But watching people's reacting to the ending is one of my favorite things ever lol
oh my goodness. this one's gonna be SOMETHING 🙃
What a nice message about not giving up hope
Nice message? 😂😂😂
@@JohnDAmico-ci2hz good message, delivered in a bad way
@@k1productions87 Very bad! Lol
A lot of the people at the beginning didn't give up hope, and they died horrible deaths, remember?😂
@@k1productions87 I wouldn't necessarily say in a BAD way. Just a really HARSH way.
6:07 When Carol from The Walking Dead drives by, you know everything's OK.
King when he saw the ending said he wished he would have put that in the book
For all those saying "If he just had patience!" Yeah, hindsight is 20/20, what would he have thought to have gained from patience? His son, in the grocery store, said to his dad "Don't let the monsters eat me." That, coupled with wanting to have a sense of control of the situation, knowing that a quick death is SIGNIFICANTLY preferable then say having spiders laying eggs in u and then SLOWLY eating u alive from the inside out, I can absolutely understand why he shot his own child. He, and everyone in the jeep, had given up, they tried to outrun the mist and couldn't. Sure I'd have definitely stopped for gas along the way but they didn't.
All I keep thinking is "Hey, isn't that Carol from The Walking Dead on that truck at the end?" LOL
Not If you watched The Mist before...so niiice yo see them in TWD with Darabont 🥹
I read the novella years ago and was so excited to see the movie, but my biggest apprehension was wondering how the movie would end. I was not disappointed.
Even though SK preferred this ending over his own, his novella ending was brutal in its own way…the survivors still have to deal with the Mist & all its horrors.
This is one of the most upsetting ending, it was just a minute away from a happy ending.
9:26 I was REALLY waiting for him to say "SYMBOLISM!"
Can't blame nor credit Stephen King for that ending. That was all screenwriter/director Frank Darabont. When King read the ending of the screenplay adapted from his novel, he cursed at himself for not thinking of the ending himself.
The most gut-wrenching film endings since Se7en.
It's so brutal. One of my favorite endings.
9:00 This guy makes a great example of looking at it from a movie perspective rather than what would you have done in that characters position.
It's easy to say what you would have done instead, but when it comes down to it, it's just wishful thinking.
If I remember correctly, there was an alternate ending for this movie, but it's been so long I can't remember if there actually was.
💯
Every reaction is so different t but the same . One of the best movie endings ever
definitely one of the most heartbreaking moment in cinema history
One of my favorite endings. I know it’s a polarizing one but the gut punch was surreal. This is one of those endings that just stick with you forever
Absolutely, excellent writing.
Great ending. I loved it. One I'll never forget.
One of the best endings to a movie ever. It's sad, it's terrible, it's horrific.... and then BOOM...it becomes ironically hilarious. A rollercoaster of emotion in a span of seconds. It's like a person drowning an inch away from the surface and then the camera pans over to show the drain release right next to them and they just didn't know it was there... Love this movie, love the ending.
Stephen King didn't write this ending it was changed for the movie by Frank Darabondt who directed the film & was the screenplay writer.
In fact Stephen King said after the film came out that he wished he wrote the novella ending this way.
*As a parent this is the most fcked up ending you could think of, at that point I would just trow myself into the tank to get crush*
one of the best endings in cinema - Just like in real life, endings are often tragic.
It truly is a tragic end and the tragedy conveys the message much more powerfully than if it was a happy one. Never lose hope
The message is: Never Give Up Hope
same message as the previous Darabont adaptations of Stephen King novella's, but taken to the opposite extreme
There's no message
A lot of the people who didn't give up hope at the beginning died horrible deaths, so no, that isn't the message.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Exactly. The idea that the ending has a positive message is funny to me. That is not what Darabont wanted to do. He just wanted to do a shocking Twilight Zone fucked up ending.
The message is the same as the message of Night Of The Living Dead: People fail under sufficient stress.
Oh look, it's a film with one of the most depressing endings of all time. This'll be a treat.
The music in this gives me chills EVERY time!
Ol boy really said no patience… like that man didn’t have patience the whole damn movie 🤦🏽♂️😂😂
Very impactful. While it IS important to stay as hopeful as you can, the world doean't owe you a happy ending
Honestly, the bigger twist was that the woman who left into the mist by herself near the start actually found her children, and they were all saved by the army.
"If they die, what is the point of this film"
Is what we all think about life and i'm nothing having a good time either 🤣
I love that ending, a good lesson to never give up and always fight till the VERY end.
So many people forget the man with spiders growing in him. No one wanted that especially for his son.
💯
- Frank Darabont, you can NOT made a film by S. King's novel with harder final, than your Green Mile!
- Just hold my beer...
Man. The greatest monster… and his own worst enemy.
"Everybody dies? That's it?"
Oh no.. That is not it... Not even close...
That would be a happy ending comparatively.
This is why this is the most Cthulhu movie ever made...
Indeed, the best Cthulhu movie done, but what was the 2nd? In the Mouth of Madness? From Beyond?
@@NativeNewMexican Yeah, Mouth of Madness and Event Horizon pop to mind.
Don't think I've seen From Beyond. Have to check that out. Thanx!
@@desiv1170 If you've ever seen Jeffrey Combs act, I'd put From Beyond as one of his best movies.
3:55 entertainment isnt about just have fun. Books, movies, comics, games can entertain wothout make you happy.
Thank you!!!.
Reactors can be extra for clicks, sometimes.
Just recently found this channel. I love it! I subscribed!! Keep them coming!
Bro I saw this in theaters man. The whole damn theater was like WHAT!!! Shit pissed everyone off.
One of the best endings ever, but after I saw it in the theatre, I was soooo pissed off, I didn't watch it for another two years. I love it now, but that ending kicked me in the heart initially.
Sometimes, help comes in the last minute. This story taught me a lot.
The endings to both the book and movie are fitting for their mediums. Leaving the book ambiguous is horrifying enough but the film...man the film's ending really works in so many ways that only a film can do honestly.
And again with the whole patience thing, NO ONE will ever know when help will eventaully come. You're all in the middle of a monster-ridden environment, and it's either you get killed by the monsters themselves or go out on your own terms. Others would argue that "He's stupid and they shouldve waited longer!" Wait for what when you're out of gas with monsters all around you? You will be begging for that bullet.
