But visual stimulation is not a long-term solution after all. When one day the audience can still happily chew popcorn when facing the scene of the zombie army swallowing the living, it seems that it is not suitable for zombie movies to be used as horror movies anymore. At this time, the zombie movie began to break through in different directions, showing a magnificent momentum. Some continue to adhere to the direction of thriller films, such as constantly "researching and developing" new types of zombies, and the "Resident Evil" series with increasingly complex plots, some are classified into other movies, such as comedy, such as "Zombie Shaun", etc. Special effects and big scenes, such as "Zombie World War" and so on. But to be honest, the development of these branches will eventually fail like the original zombie film. Never underestimate the aesthetic fatigue of the audience. But that doesn't mean that zombie movies will lose their vitality. On the contrary, I expect that there will be more and more excellent zombie movies in the future. The reason is that if you discuss zombie movies in the framework of the doomsday theme, you will find that there is a topic that will never be out of date like love and war, and can always be talked about: human nature.
In recent years, zombie films have indeed shown a trend of "philosophical flow", and they have begun to make predictions about human behavior and personality changes in the doomsday environment. Last year's popular Korean movie "Train to Busan" used a lot of brush and ink to create various characters, describing their love, hatred, selfishness... The various forms of life can be seen in the doomsday environment. This "Godsent Girl" also focuses on human nature. The heroine in this film should belong to a new species biologically, not human, but it is obviously different from ordinary zombies. Humans hope to develop a vaccine to solve fungal infection through her, but at the end of the film, she is indifferent "Why should I sacrifice myself to save you?" This is the most shocking and shocking sentence in the whole film. In this film, zombies are no longer infected by viruses, but by a fungal infection, and the ultimate source of infection is also a giant tree covered with spores, which will clearly point the opponents of human beings to Mother Nature. How weak and selfish human beings are in the face of the forces of nature. Since the development of life on earth, species have experienced several mass extinctions. It is very likely that in the future, human beings will also usher in their own mass extinction. The meaning of the movie is clear. If such extinction really comes, human beings cannot stop it, because This is the natural choice. In this case, the human desire for survival is in complete conflict with the forces of nature, and cannot compete.
In the process of continuous development, zombie films have gradually gotten rid of the nature of the original popcorn film. It seems that since "I Am Legend", it has gradually become impossible to be ignored by the mainstream film industry. This should be undeniable.
