Most of the American war films are based on World War II. Most zombie films are based on the mutation caused by the biochemical virus as the theme of the story, and combine the two unrelated elements of military war and thriller living corpses. It is one and both of them are very good. In the era when sci-fi action movies were changed and sequels were in power, this was definitely a spring of original movies, so "Overlord" should be said to be a very exquisite B-level film taste. Creative film.
The producer of this film is the famous JJ Abraham, who instantly turned the whole movie from a stall into a brand name! His work "Mission: Impossible" (Mission: Impossible), "Star Trek" (Star Trek), and even "Star Wars" (Star Wars) old brands have encountered bottlenecks, but after JJ Abraham took over the directing , Saved the entire series, so he is one of the famous directors of "God Rescue", and he also served as the producer of many movies. The most famous work is the "Cloverfield" series, but this The style of the series is rather different, so the reputation is always mixed. In contrast, the "Overlord" he produced this time is a work that should be easy for audiences who like to entertain movies. The late Chinese martial arts novelist Jin Yong, the most famous method of creation is to integrate fictional stories into real history, so you know that it is a fictional story, but because it is narrated with history as the background, it adds a lot of credibility. This This kind of creative method can be seen in the film "Overlord". The background of the story is a group of American paratroopers during the Second World War. On the day of Normandy’s landing, they went deep into the German camp and prepared to perform a special mission. The time, location, and character background of the story are in line with real history, but this group After the American soldiers went deep into the enemy camp, what they encountered was a fictional story. They discovered that the German army was conducting a secret experiment that could turn people into zombie-like monsters by injecting drugs, in order to create a group of immortals. The army, although you can see that it is a fictional story at this point, because it is based on the real history and adds a lot of imagination, you may even feel that in a corner where history is not recorded, is there really a sense of bringing similar things happened? . This film belongs to the shooting method of war films, and at the same time incorporates the rendering power of horror films. From the beginning of the airborne action of these American soldiers in the continuous bombing of the bullets, you can feel the powerful shock. After successfully landing on the ground, Encountered a large group of bloody corpses again, and it was even more oppressive! However, unlike ordinary zombie movies, the film is an evolutionary version of living corpses. They are autonomous, capable of thinking, and capable of language. The only way to kill them is to blow them to pieces, so they are the enemy again. Zombies, mines and traps, such a setting will make people in adrenaline from start to finish, coupled with the violent and bloody scenes one after another, viewers who like sensory stimulation should be able to get a lot of satisfaction.
Most war movies let you see the cruelty of war and convey the anti-war awareness. This movie is no exception. There are no heroes on the battlefield. Everyone is forced to face life and death and fight hard. In this movie The plot of creating zombie wars may seem whimsical, but it also shows the unscrupulous, frenzied and frantic effects of war, and even hints that today’s nuclear, biochemical weapons, these over-extreme weapons, may cause terrible consequences in this world, unless humans can stop. War, otherwise, weapons that are more terrifying than zombies and viruses have ever been reduced in the history of mankind?
A call-up order to pull the youth from their homes into the army and send them to the dangerous battlefield is actually an understatement of the absurdity of the operation of the world, rather than being angry at the powerlessness of oneself without the right to control one's life... In the case of war films, this film abandons the angle and style of honor and fellowship, and depicts the truth of the operation of the army very coldly. These people do not regard each other as "brothers". These people will enter the army and accept distribution. , Obeying orders, only because they are used to obeying authority, and they seem to be in a state of feeling emptiness and powerlessness about their lives...

There are also many bizarre and pathological experiments. For example, in order to increase the population, live anatomy of pregnant women, want to make twins; want to solve the problem of drinking water, change the human body to accept the experiment of drinking seawater, and force people to drink a lot of untreated seawater.
