didn't work so well, did it?The Mist · 2007 — 第 7 / 11 章 · 4'53" · B2
The Crowd Turns on David, Explained：cut and run
The room is dark and the fear has found a voice. Someone keeps "preaching" to the trapped crowd, and a quieter voice warns David that once something happens, anyone will "cut and run." The real argument is whether civilization is still there when the lights are off, or just a story people tell themselves.
あらすじ
The power is out in the supermarket and the survivors are sitting in the dark. A woman is preaching to the crowd, whipping up fear, while others try to keep the group moving toward a plan: the pharmacy trip, the rope test, and a straight answer about how far the mist reaches. David finds himself arguing with people who want a sign, not a solution.

What's really going on
Strip away the monsters and the scene is about what holds a society together once the lights go out. One character insists, "My God, David, we're a civilized society." The reply treats civilization as a fragile agreement instead: "As a species, we're fundamentally insane." From there, politics and religion are recast as inventions for managing a volatile, irrational species. That is why the preaching lands so well on a frightened room — fear wants a story, and whoever supplies one gains power. The people who keep their heads are the ones asking what can actually be done next, not what it all means. In the dark, civilization is not a given; it is something the room has to keep choosing.
Theme
FaithWhen the lights fail, some turn to a preacher and a story; the scene asks whether belief is comfort or control.
SurvivalPractical people focus on the pharmacy and the rope test while others argue about what humanity deserves.

My God David we re a civilized societyA shocked protest: the speaker insists people are still civilized, refusing to accept that order has already collapsed.

このシーンについての質問
Why does the group listen to Mrs. Carmody at all?
Because she offers certainty in a situation with none. When no one can explain the mist, a person who claims to know God's plan becomes the most confident voice in the room.
What does drinking the Kool-Aid mean in this context?
It means following a dangerous belief without questioning it. The phrase comes from the Jonestown mass suicide, and here it warns that the crowd is surrendering its judgment to a leader.
Is the civilized society line meant to be sincere?
It is sincere in the moment, which is what makes it sting. The speaker wants it to be true, but the film keeps showing how quickly that agreement falls apart under pressure.
Who is right about human nature in this scene?
The film sides with the pessimist and the pragmatist at once: people are not reliably good, but survival still depends on the few who keep working the problem instead of waiting for a sign.
