      What is the difference between a boring life and a zombie

      In the faraway England, there is a well-known group called: the British Weird Iron Triangle . They are: director Edgar Wright/actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. These three good friends can be said to be a "weird" landscape in the film circle.

      Maybe I didn't understand

      I can only give it to Samsung, did I not understand it? ? ? It feels absurd, and there are many unreasonable places: the whole world is reporting that zombies are coming, and Sean can still look down at his toes to find the supermarket, and he can say hello to the zombie beggar without watching people pass the ball; in order to enter Winchester, Xiao En passed through the zombie swarm unharmed? Dead Fatty doesn't feel like doomsday survival at all; I recommend "Zombieland", which is also a...

      A film review after a few years of viewing (no nutritious complaints)

      I stumbled upon this movie a few years ago when the zombie movie was very hot. I still remember that it was a little boring at first, because unlike other fast-paced zombie disaster movies, it was a bit unaccustomed. Sean, played by Simon, is so cheap. I was so angry that I just wanted to get into the screen and beat him. I didn't expect Ed to turn into a zombie in the end. Probably because I watched too many TV series, I felt that Ed would get a little bit of the protagonist's halo. Careful...

      Who said we weren't each other's zombies?

      A warm version of the zombie film, which does not change the British self-deprecating black humor. The ending is a bit interesting. Zombies coexist with people. If you should continue your friendship, you should continue your friendship. In fact, people keep repeating over and over again every day. They are clumsy and assimilated, and they are not so creative. It is not too much to equate people with zombies. So don't mind, fall in love with zombies, because love is the theme, and zombies...

      Another Zombie Movie

      Under the wash of the sea of ​​zombie films flying all over the plasma and plastic models, no matter how easy-going audiences are, they can no longer find the terrifying and exciting feeling when watching them at first. In the end, only boring and cookie-cutter is left. And in such a lifeless environment, some unusual zombie films came into being, bringing people a refreshing feeling. Last time I talked about "Warm Corpse", which mainly focuses on warmth. This time we will talk about "Zombie...

      Is there such a fat friend around you who is more than successful, but no matter how lazy he is, you will support him to the end?...

      I am anxious for the slow N shooting of the whole group! ! ! Noisy and noisy, the last two left are not bad, okay, but the effect of the comedy has reached = = The final ending makes people laugh and cry, bright! The most important thing is that there are peanuts in it~~~ It's pure soy...

      I think, this is a carnival of love~ The ending is so good, a life with love will not lead to the walking dead~ Edgar Wright's techniques are not as mature as the later hot-blooded police detectives, and it only starts to be funny from 30...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. At the end of the film, Sean and Liz are watching TV. The voice on the TV said: "This virus is spread by infected monkeys and has now disappeared." Liz shut it down before she finished speaking. The TV was turned off. This commentary refers to the British zombie film "28 Days of Shocking Change".
    2. In the film, Sean and the others found the zombie Mary in the garden. The reason why Mary became a zombie was written into a short...

    Creation Background

    In 1999, the British television channel 4 premiered a series called "Spaced", which mainly described the laughable daily life of a slacker in his twenties in London. This TV series has not only won acclaim in China and swept several TV awards in the UK, but it is also not a general in the international TV industry. The director of "Space" is Edgar White, the screenwriter and starring Simon Peggy, and the producer is Nila Parker-it...

    Filming process

    If "Shaun the Zombie" is a purely British film, it is better to say that it is a work that is only "loyal" to London. From the West Side of London to the South Side, and then jumping back to the North Side, it feels more like a 3-day trip to London with the filming crew-although the story only covers a weekend, three days from Friday to Sunday, However, it took nearly three months from the director to the actors before the filming was...

    Evaluation action

    The film supported by trembling legs is the witier end of this type of film than "Two Fools vs. Frankenstein". (Voice of the Country Review)
    There are some plots in the film that only native people can understand, but the vigorous vitality and scattered horror film elements should please the audience. ( New York Daily News Review)
    Ridiculous and sincere, it may be the most funny zombie movie and the most scary romantic comedy that...
