The Mist B/W

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2009)

If only I had seen the B/W version first, I would have marked it higher! The movie was good, not great but good. You see it in color and you lose so many things. But man when you see it in B/W… Wow it is a whole different movie. I know that many people can’t stand watching a movie in black and white and prefer it in color, but if you get a chance watch it in B/W. you will see a different world. This is for the people who can appreciate B/W movies! I love B/W movies because they seem more real than the movies that are coming out today. When you see movies with special effects after 2 or 4 years you think how fake the sequences seem. But old movies seem like they are from another universe, where everything is allowed. You see Bigfoot, but you can believe that it is really him in the screen not a green screen. This is the illusion of that the old movies create. That is the illusion that the B/W version created for me. But for those who don’t like this version and prefer color you will find it quite interesting. I liked it a lot. I am a big Stephen King fan so even if the movie has a little bit to do with his book I want to see it! This movie is really good and I enjoyed it a lot. The idea of the book was so crazy and the movie was insane too so I had a really good time watching it! I think Frank Darabont, the director, did an amazing job putting it all together and took him few days to finish it (37 days if I am not mistaken).
