At first glance, the corpse love in the movie pays attention to taste, but it is actually small and fresh, and it is cliché if you are not polite. As with all youthless love movies, all it takes for the hero and heroine to fall in love is to listen to a few good songs and ride in a good car. Fortunately, R played by Holt is a brain-eating zombie, and he happened to eat the heroine Julie's boyfriend, which made the film's dull Hollywood routine a little bit new.
As stupid as I am, when I saw Zombie R sneak into Yukimura's human base at night and call for his lover from the balcony, it suddenly dawned on me that the film dug Shakespeare's grave again, but based on years of experience focusing on American youth love movies, the film must not be Tragedy, happy ending is destined to come. If Shakespeare and his old man can really see the tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" he wrote so hard to be adapted into a vulgar American fast food, he will die again. As a movie on Valentine's Day, facing the audience in pairs in front of the screen, obviously you can't use "showing love and dying quickly" to ruin the box office. What everyone wants to watch is just foreplay, and the big meal is only after coming out of the theater. At the beginning, if the ending is really poignant, the love hotel will not be happy.
But who cares, half of the audience is for Nicholas Hoult, and the other half is for the first half of the audience, so as long as you see the beautiful zombie R on the screen with big eyes, There is no regret in shaking the hanger. The film is commendable for its appropriate soundtrack and cold humor. These two elements are the basic configuration of chick flick, but because the plot is mediocre, it cannot be praised alone. Since Nicholas Hoult is a quasi-big name in the whole film, he naturally has the most scenes. The inner monologue specially prepared for him alone supports half of the film's laughs, and the remaining half is given to his zombie friend. As for other normal humans, sorry, too busy surviving to care about humor. Hey, I feel the director's deep meaning when I write it here. Is this a satire on modern society? It's really not obvious enough.
Looking at the whole film, I feel that it is still a waste of rare new ideas, but it also avoids possible risks. It fails to tell an old story, firmly locks in the audience, and adds a thriving protagonist. It can be regarded as a qualified entertainment film. While watching it, I kept thinking, if I were to make a film about Shakespeare crawling out of the ground, as a thousand-year-old zongzi, he accidentally hid in the video rental shop where Quentin was a clerk. , watching movies with the ruffian Quentin every day, especially watching the younger generation fry their own cold rice, what a happy scene would it be.
This is probably the most off-topic movie review I've ever written. Embarrassed and laughed three times, hahaha.
Finally, to see how beautiful Nicholas Hoult's body really is, see "Single Man."
