In the Mist

On a foggy morning, a simple conversation between two anglers turns into a collective panic. The film explores the psychology of the mob in ambiguous situations. Through the individual perspective of the group, it finally shows the theme of irrational judgment. The group distorts the events they see, and a phenomenon of mutual infection occurs, so that the distortion of the event becomes consistent, and everyone in the group shows the same state. Even when the group sees the facts, it is as if they don’t see them — they completely ignore them and merge the distorted illusion with the real events.
