From Resident Evil 4 to the zombie movie

Ma Shi/Wen

"Resident Evil 1" has a certain status in my heart, especially the scene where infrared rays cut people into pieces of meat, which can also be called a classic of action movies. scene. I also watched 2 and 3 after that. I didn't have any expectations before watching it. It was completely for the rotten face zombies, the endless bullets and the beautiful and sexy heroine who pretended to be cool. Therefore, when the fourth part came out, I watched it habitually, like the fourth episode of a TV series, and I thought it was good. The action level still maintained the level of "The Matrix" ten years ago, and the drama has no level at all. , It's over after reading it. I won't feel too bad or too good. Occasionally I am a little surprised and my heart beats, but it will soon be forgotten. Everything is for leisure.



When it was decided to release this film in China, I was quite puzzled that a film full of violence was going to be released in China. Although I had already watched the film on the computer, I still bought a movie ticket one day. , not to see him, but to make up for the regret that I didn't go to the theater to watch "The Matrix 1" ten years ago. The action scenes are still very shocking to watch in the theater. The old-fashioned need not be mentioned again. It might be boring for kids.

American director George Romero, he can be said to be the father of the world of zombie movies. In 1968, George Romero filmed the film "Night of the Living Dead", which received widespread acclaim upon its release. The film makes zombies away from voodoo, and then become a new image of the monster. It is precisely because of the appearance of this film that zombies have become the new darling of horror movies.
Since then, George Romero has launched his second zombie movie "Dawn of the Zombies" in 1979, and at the same time, a large number of similar works have sprung up all over the world. Zombie movies are starting to take the world by storm. In 1985, George Romero made his third zombie film, "Zombie Out", which together with the first two films constituted George Romero's zombie trilogy.

Zombie movies have been popular since the early 1970s, and there are always some different things injected into them to make this type of theme "long-standing". "Zombie Out of the Cage" is an epoch-making zombie film, but now it seems that he is more disgusting (horror to foreigners), and has almost the same play structure as all future zombie films: because of some The reason zombies appeared, the protagonist escaped. However, the makeup skills of "Zombie Out of the Cage" are already very skilled. Whether it is the face of the zombie or the various organs of the human body, they are vividly done. Students who are interested in anatomy can go and observe it.

For other films that have special significance in zombie films, I will give a brief introduction: "Resident Evil" is the first film to combine zombies and action (this is not unrelated to the game), disgusting is second; "Zombie Shaun" is the first zombie film to be filmed in a humorous way, followed by a similar "Zombieland"; "Dead Planet" Robert Rodriguez's dark humor, together with Quentin's "Death Proof" "The Torment Room"; "28 Days Changed" directed by Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting", "Slumdog Millionaire"), in the director's words, it is to make a blockbuster at an ultra-low cost. The "28 Weeks" is not very good; "Death Video 1, 2", a Spanish film, is a brilliant work shot in the form of a pseudo-documentary, and there is a remake of "Death Live" in the United States. "The early works of Peter Jackson ("Lord of the Rings") are very humorous and disgusting; "I Am Legend" can be said to be the one with the largest investment in zombie films, regardless of the box office reputation is very good, but in fact it is more like A sci-fi blockbuster rather than a zombie movie in the traditional sense; the new versions of "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Living Dead", of course, are difficult to revive; a recent American drama, "The Walking Dead" based on comics, has received high ratings. The rate is very high (directed by the director of "Stimulus 1995"); in 2010, George Romero, the father of zombie films, filmed a new work "Out of Madman Town", a typical American B-level film, no comment; "New Zombies" "Out of the cage" is a great subversion of the image of zombies. It can fly, shoot and shoot.

Hong Kong has also followed suit and made several zombie films: "Biochemical Shou Corpse" and "Biochemical SWAT". The makeup is poor and the lighting is dark green.



The mainland is not allowed to shoot ghost movies, so the movies that are released as horror movies are mostly gimmicks of crime and mental illness, which are already vulgar. Therefore, for filmmakers, this type of zombie movie in the coat of science fiction is a kind of gimmick. good learning object.
