The Real Hero

Rating: 6/10 (2 December 2008)

The movie compares the mist with the path we're taking for our world nowadays, with all the disregard for the environment. People only talk that we should take effective actions to stop global warming, but few actually do something about it. People often choose the "easy way", turning themselves to religion explanation and blaming others for what is happening. You'll be surprised to learn that the real hero of this movie is not Thomas Jane's character David, but the woman who gets out of the supermarket in the beginning of the movie to rescue her child. She's the only one who really faces the situation. Even David gives up in the end, believing that they could only survive as far as the fuel of the car took them to. The movie makes us think about how we should act in the future. Do we want to face the situation and find a solution to our problems or "leave the window open", saying we'll "fix it later"?
