Stephen King's The Stand
Enter a near future of a horrifically plague-ravaged Earth where a fraction of its population survives, compelling them to choose sides between the overwhelming forces of good and evil, in this critically acclaimed film version of Stephen King's phenomenal, number-one bestselling novel THE STAND. Millions perish, and as small, isolated frightened bands unite, the answers to their perpetual questions to justify this end of civilization are bared in their dreams — revelations that urge some to embrace a path of virtue and others to gravitate towards a sinister course of darkness. As the opposing forces separate into two camps — one led by the saintly Mother Abigail and the other by demonic Randall Flagg — the noble elements try to shield themselves from their corrupt enemy, whose ruthless potency is increased by their domination of an excavated nuclear warhead.
Their extreme clash of wills makes it inevitable that these remnants of humanity will soon engage in a final confrontation — THE STAND — an immense and atrocious battle which could result in annihilating the power of good and hurtle the fate of the planet into the reins of evil.
This four-episode motion picture, adapted for the screen by Stephen King himself, brings to life King's terrifying epic featuring an all-star cast.
Product Description
Originally aired as a television mini-series, this all-star filmization of Stephen King's gripping epic of good versus evil chronicles the episodic adventures of a disparate group of people who struggle to reestablish civilization after a man-made catastrophe wipes out most of the world's population. The world abruptly ends when a deadly virus accidentally escapes from a government sponsored biological warfare laboratory. Soon people are dropping like flies from the plague, but a few survive and find themselves strangely compelled to head into the West. Good-hearted people follow the voice of an ancient black woman and head for Boulder, Colorado. Bad people follow the enigmatic Walkin' Dude to Las Vegas. It is only a matter of time before the two sides are forced into a climactic battle over the final fate of humanity.

In my view, this is not meant to be a "horror movie," as it is to be a movie to make people think where they "Stand" in their life. More on this in a minuet.
Basic Plot:
A top secret gov lab accidentally released a weaponized flu-virus that spread around the world.
Most everyone dies, but two distinct "chosen" groups survive.
One group, call it 'On the side of Good,' chosen by God. The other group, call it, 'On the side of Evil' (criminals, extreme sinners, liars, cheats, who end up chosen by the devil. At one point, the "chosen" on both sides make a Stand. Who will win? Good or Evil? Watch and find out.
Background:
Know that Stephen King is not a religious guy at all, and leans politically hard Left. So just know this is a movie, and not a political commentary one way or another.
I interpreted the movie however with religious overtones of "Judgement Day" of good versus evil, and who will win.
What I liked about it the most, and watching again with others, is it seems to make people think about what kind of person they are; or what kind of person they want to be, or should be. Would you be one of the "chosen" and what side would you "Stand?"
If you like a movie that makes you reflect about life, you'll enjoy it. It's a movie that requires attention, not passively watching while doing something else (like being on your phone). Good value for the money. Recommended.
Now, that off my chest-
I have a strange quirk. I like to read the book of a good movie and watch the movie of a book. For instance if you want to see the movie that even the stars Patricia Neal and Gary Cooper consider one of the worst they've ever starred in watch "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. Maybe if they'd barred her from the lot...but they didn't.
Another example is the latest version of Les Miserables. Without it we wouldn't know Russel Crowe and Hugh Jackman couldn't carry a tune in a milk bucket.
But this review is about The Stand.
I 'sort of' watched it when it was on TV. However when I watched the movie this time I did not realize how emotionally affected I would be.
I'm not a crying type person, but every time Ruby Dee came on the screen as Mother Abagail I did. I thought that she was exceptional.
I am also not a big Gary Sinise fan; but I think that might be the CSI thing. A bad show and a bad part. But in this movie I couldn't imagine anyone else. In fact I think that every part was perfectly cast except for Nadine. Somehow she didn't carry the weight that the character in the book did. Plus that God awful wig. Did they get that at a Halloween store?
There are two other actors that deserve raves also. Some people have come down on Molly Ringwald in the part of Frannie. I think that they are making the mistake I did with Gary. They are stuck in the parts she played before, none of which called for the dramatic part she played here. And of course Rob Lowe deserves accolades in his portrayal of Nick, although sometimes he read lips that he couldn't see. And poor old Tom Cullen could easily have been made a caricature of his character, but he wasn't. And the child, like Larry's New York girlfriend Rita, could have been left out since his character added nothing to the story.
The unabridged version of the book runs almost 1500 words. I think bringing it so faithfully to the screen was a major undertaking that worked. Of course having Stephen King write the screen play didn't hurt either.
If you want to see where this ain't working at all, try watching "Atlas Shrugged". It should be Atlas sucked.
If you are interested in other books with an 'end of civilization as we know it' theme I'd like to suggest a few.
Of course the classic is "Earth Abides" by George R. Stewart.
"One Second After" by William Forstchen should be required reading for everyone in this country. It details the events in a small town after an EMP, or Electro Magnetic Pulse, renders all electronics in the country useless. Think about it because this is a VERY real possibility with certain countries having atomic capabilities. A warhead can be bought in the old Soviet Union for the price of a BMW and rockets are everywhere. All it takes is one, let me repeat that ONE atom bomb exploded above the atmosphere and overnight we become a third world country.
And finally my favorite Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Nevin and Jerry Pouvnello. An asteroid hits. Bye bye world as we know it.
