    Character Evaluation

    George A. Romero is known as the father of modern horror movies and is known as the "originator of zombie films." He uses the theme of zombies to infer social events, which is a talent that many horror film directors lack . 
    A "milestone" significance of George A. Romero's zombie movie is to formulate a series of characteristics for zombies. These characteristics have almost become the "three laws of zombies" in zombie culture, and are "conventionally" abided by zombie works. The relationship between zombies and humans "Offensive and defensive" has become well-documented . 
    George A. Romero is a funny, clever and generous person. His works can have repercussions in the 21st century because of the great wisdom and humor behind them. His zombie films are like social satirists, undoubtedly profoundly affecting countless creations of later generations, from movies, TV, games to literary works .
