  Screen grab from the final scene of The Mist (2007).

  Tap for spoiler

  The father in the driver seat shoots everybody else in the car as an act of mercy to save them from a certain death by the monsters in the movie. Goes to turn the gun on himself only to be met with an empty chamber. Mere moments later, military vehicles emerge from the mist to take on the monsters. If he had waited legitimately 2 more minutes everybody in the car would have been saved.

  The thing about marriage is that anybody can do it. You don’t have to love somebody to marry them. It isn’t special. There’s no test you have to take together or qualifications you have to meet.

  So yeah - he’s angry, and lonely, and he’s also married, but none of those things are related to each other.

  Sounds like he needs therapy, but in our society men aren’t encouraged to share emotions if it doesn’t perpetuate an image of strength. So he’s expressing his emotions in a “socially acceptable” way: anger. Which is probably what also got him into these backwards ideas about his political ideology as well.

  Can somebody paste these as text into the comments? I’m on mobile but would love to send some of these characters to a friend with zero context.

  Lucky - I’m just browsing on my generic-brand hypercube.
