When I saw this movie for the first time, I felt like I had seen it somewhere before. I thought it was another movie that was released for the second time. After a search, I found out that it was the movie version of the short film. I remember that the short film was not bad when I watched it at the time. I watched it with anticipation. , still a little disappointed.
After reading several film reviews, there are really few that are reliable, so I think I should write my own.
The plot will not be described too much. When I talk about it later, I will mention it incidentally, and I will not talk about it from beginning to end here (well, I just don’t want to repeat QAQ)
Let me first talk about some of the problems with the individual plot settings of this movie.
1. At the beginning, the male protagonist noticed movement in the cabin, but he did not tell the female protagonist after returning. He didn't say anything to make her be careful. I feel that it may be that the male protagonist is afraid that after speaking, the female protagonist will strengthen her determination to go ashore. This directly leads to the infection of the heroine, so let's just say it.
2. After the heroine mutated in the car. I wondered why the male protagonist didn't get out of the car, then hugged the child, and had to stretch his hand directly over. Isn't this deliberately letting the heroine bite? I don't know if he is stupid or is it set in the script? I always feel that his behavior is a bit unreasonable. Could it be that, if this is not the case, is there no reason for the male protagonist to be infected? The director's setting for this plot is a bit too blunt.
3. Tommy's father, except for Tommy's recollection, appeared in the form of a normal person in less than a minute, and the rest were transformed into zombies, but why he did not mention infection at all, Did the director forget or is there some other reason? Also, Tommy shows a deep love for his father in the movie. Maybe even a scene of a happy time Tommy's father and Tommy used to be together.
4. There is also the wise man Tommy keeps calling, and the white powder on his face that can make the zombies not find himself. These are all mentioned in the movie, and there is no detailed explanation at all. Personally, I think it is necessary to explain this place in detail. After all, this movie, a few minutes more, has little effect on the whole.
5. The last is the male protagonist, with a piece of meat hanging in front of him and Tommy and his daughter on his back. Why should Tommy let him carry it? It's just because I'm weak, but this plot is a bit nonsense. Could it be the Four Immortals? Although this and that short film is an extended film version, it is still not as good as that short film. And in the short film, the male protagonist was shot to death, but in the film, although he was the boss, he was directly stabbed to death after his daughter was left behind. The father of his daughter, after the daughter is safe, is stabbed to death and has nothing to say. Maybe it was thrown in the wilderness. The director didn't think of adding one in this place. Is it a tribute to the father's love? Like, bury him?
I've picked a few faults, and let's talk about the good parts of this movie. After all, if you want to promote it, you should suppress it first.
1. From the overall point of view of this movie, it should be a low-budget movie. But the cost is small, and the selection of materials is good. Such as the 48-hour setting, zombies looking for targets through sounds and blood smells, and sticky yellowish blood. The director is still quite ingenious and deserves encouragement.
2. As a film that expresses the theme of fatherly love, although zombie elements are added, the description of zombies is still relatively small. This kind of zombie movie is not a horror, after all, there are no bloody scenes such as eating living people, etc., it is more suitable for most people to watch. It can be considered to take care of the public's taste. After all, if it is too scary, there will definitely be some people, because this will keep this movie out of the door.
3. The director handled some of the details quite well. Certain plots remind viewers of real life and seem to reveal a touch of humanity. But the director seems to overestimate the ability of the audience. In some places, he feels that the director wants to convey something to the audience, but he just can't tell what the director wants to convey. As the director's debut, maybe the director wanted to express too many things, and he took care of all aspects.
Finally, for the movie in general. The front part of the bedding is too long, and the emotional expression in the back is not detailed enough, and it feels a bit top-heavy. The actor's acting skills are alright. I feel that in the second half, the rendering of the father's love is still not in place, and the director still needs to work hard. After all, this is the debut film, and it is already quite good to be filmed like this. It is much better than some mentally retarded directors.
(By the way, I also want to ask a question. There is a setting for zombies in the movie, which is to bury their heads in the ground. Does the director arrange this, does it have any meaning? I am also very puzzled about this, I don’t know if I understand it. Please explain, thank you very much)
