A Look at Human Behavior

Rating: 6/10 (8 December 2007)

I found the movie impetuous to the belief that one black man's opinion of the situation at hand would result in the death of all the African American people in the supermarket except for one who took his own life and one who was killed due to his part in the experiment that led to this unfortunate disaster. This movie truly is a psychological drama based upon the "what if" scenario of human behavior gone wrong in a time of contention. I suppose I was looking beyond the monsters in the mist to the deep seated meaning of what the writer and director was trying to depict of human nature. The slaying of the religious zealot, though apropos at the time due to her overzealous actions, also showed how most people feel about religion in general; and the fact that the bible states that suicide is a sin, we see suicide throughout the movie even up to the end, where are "hero" found that if he had indeed waited, all would have been well. Other than that, the movie was authentic to the original story in the book
