In the past, regardless of Resident Evil, dawn of the living dead, and the emergence of zombies, they emphasized the atmosphere of fear. The protagonist either flees all over the world, like a bird of fright all day long, or shoots the zombies with a machine gun, and the fate of the supporting character is to be killed by the zombie to increase the bloody shock of the film, or the supporting character is infected, which makes people feel more Viruses are pervasive, and it is impossible to guard against... The ending is without exception that the protagonist defeats the zombies and escapes successfully. Of course, an undead zombie will appear in the end to tell the audience that the fear is not over! After the movie is over, I will continue to make you shake for a long time!
In this zombie film, the fear line is not taken, the main line has become loneliness, a deep sense of loneliness.
Will smith drives a car and carries a dog, alone in a deserted street, walking around in the bookstore alone, greets the people in the shop warmly, and wants to strike up a conversation with beautiful girls-just these people All of them were infected with the virus and died, so lifelike they were still in the same posture they had been in. The boss is still checking the cash, and the girl is still picking books... Of course Will Smith knows, but he still pretends that everyone is there, talking enthusiastically, and leaving happily.
Zombies do not come out during the day, they are afraid of light. During the day, the city is empty and dead, and at night, the city is a living hell. Will Smith is almost the only survivor. While he lives alone, he is researching a vaccine to cure the virus.
Until one day his dog died and his only companion left, he could no longer bear the bone-corrupted loneliness. He drove into the zombies at night, thinking of going all together.
Being lonely, a hero can resist the temptation of financial gains and let go of the worries of life, but it is hard to say that he can resist loneliness.
I won't talk about it in the second half of the film, it's a very common plot. It's just the unique perspective in the first half that makes the film different.
