The basic plot of the movie "Alive" is that a zombie accident suddenly broke out in South Korea. The male protagonist, because he is a game house, just stayed at home and witnessed a scene in front of the window where some normal people were attacked by zombies and turned into zombies. Out of curiosity, he accidentally opened the door and brought an infected person into his home. He witnessed the zombie transformation process of the infected person, and then decided to seriously hide at home and wait for the disaster to pass. After a small accident, I lost some food, and finally the water was cut off, so I could only carry it hard. After being trapped for many days, I finally broke down and prepared to commit suicide.
In the process of hanging, he was discovered by the hostess on the opposite floor, saved his life, and gave him some food, so the two encouraged each other and lived for some time. But seeing that the food was exhausted, they found that there was a vacancy in the building where the male protagonist was, so they decided to go there to find hope. They fought a bloody way, but there were too many zombies, and they were rescued by the people in the empty room when their lives were on the line. The three began to feel that life was so difficult, but they could still encourage each other. cup to celebrate. But it turned out that both the hero and heroine were drugged, and the middle-aged man in the room wanted to take the heroine to feed his wife who had turned into a zombie. After a fight, the middle-aged man died. Hearing the sound of the helicopter, the hero and heroine decided to rush to the top floor to look for rescue, and waited for rescue at the last minute.
The movie isn't great, but it actually completes a basic story. The story can also be regarded as a three-act movie. In the first act, the male protagonist discovers that the world has undergone great changes, and zombies break out. He hides at home until his emotional breakdown and prepares to commit suicide. When he is rescued by the female protagonist's laser pointer, he completed the first One scene story. At the beginning of the second act, the plot eased. They encouraged each other through walkie-talkies and gave each other food. They also experienced a situation where they were almost attacked by zombies in the middle, but they escaped smoothly. When the food was exhausted, they rushed out and fought hard. The climax of the second act. At the beginning of the third act, the three survivors raised their glasses together, but they did not expect to encounter the villain's calculations. It's a standard three-act story.
The general structure of the story is that the protagonist first encounters a difficulty at the beginning, this difficulty is very large, it seems difficult to cope with, but it is not completely hopeless, and then completes the personal growth of the character by overcoming the impossible task. In this process, the protagonist needs a friend to help him, and a villain to set off him. In this play, both characters happened to appear. The heroine and the hero support each other, and the third villain, the uncle, wants to feed them to the zombies. In several ways, the basic elements are satisfied, but why the story doesn't seem all that engaging.
I feel that the personal growth of the character is not enough, and secondly, the appearance of the villain does not bring out the brilliance of the protagonist. The male protagonist was an otaku at first, and then he became more emotional, prone to irritability and emotional breakdown. The stories here are all normal, but the changes shown in the movie are not his character or ideological growth, but the face. Grow your fighting power against zombies. At first, I hit a handful of zombies, and then suddenly I can fight a group of zombies. Not to mention the heroine, although an ordinary woman likes to climb mountains, she can't be better than the police. It's the best game in the game right from the start. Obviously not very logical. If the plot can show the male protagonist's change from a irritable and irritable person to a thoughtful, stable and calm personality change, then it is a more reasonable growth. The appearance of the villain also does not bring out the personality and abilities of the protagonist. Therefore, the arrangement of the villain's scene is not very helpful to the growth of the characters, like falling for the sake of falling.
The fear shown in the film is a superficial fear, that is, in the face of zombies, everyone's stress response will be fear. But the most important thing for a good movie is to show a character's most hidden desires and deep-seated fears. In this way, the concept will have a great improvement. However, as a commercial film, it is good to tell a complete and logical story. The flaw in this movie is that it's logically irrational. It is impossible to explain why the protagonist can suddenly burst into combat power.
