Not heavy enough, but ok

Looking forward to it for a long time! Slightly disappointed.

I watched half of it last night, and it was dull; I watched the other half this morning, and the ending was sour.

Maybe it's because I've seen too many violent zombie movies, so I'm quite unfamiliar with the "monsters" that are slow and weak in attack. But this doesn't seem to be the point. "Walking Forward" is a zombie movie, and the story is mainly about "father's love without stiffness".

Therefore, when the wife is bitten, the husband cannot be cruel; then the husband is bitten by the wife, and he has to find a new way out for his daughter; in a limited time, he can complete the infinite fatherly love.

According to the usual plot, the wife is about to become a zombie after being bitten, and the safest way is to "kill the relatives righteously". But when it comes to a man, the husband of his wife, the father of his daughter, he can be cowardly, and he can also be indecisive, so love becomes a weakness.

The conflict of the story is here, you can only move forward with a heavy load, and you can't take a knife and fall.

In the short film, the father wants to trap himself and move forward to find hope without hurting his daughter. He only needs to build a simple scene, and the audience will understand it all; but in the film length of more than 100 minutes, a simple The scenes are not enough to hold up a movie, so more conflicts and more dilemmas have to be created.

Going to the hospital, I didn't get the help I wanted, so I continued on the road; I met a father who was also infected, but the father took care of the family and then committed suicide; I also met an arrogant and lonely Vic, who was in danger of being hunted down. In the end, she was completely "rigid" and moved forward with a heavy load, and found a good "home" for her daughter.

Long-winded, but still has real power. In the name of the father, I give three stars.
