Do humans sometimes have too many illusions about the power of love?
R is a zombie. He has no memory, no emotion, no heartbeat, no speech, no sleep, and of course no dreams. Unlike others of his kind, R is a cranky zombie. Although he is no longer alive, the days of zombies are really boring. R has a lot of time to think about the meaning of "being alive", and then longs for the feeling of being alive, and then eats the head of the heroine's boyfriend.
R also has a collection addiction. He uses an airplane as his bedroom, and hides a lot of vinyl records, crystal balls, etc., which he picked up from nowhere. R is a corpse who understands music, but unfortunately I, the living audience, don't understand.
Overall, R is a maverick zombie.
Because of his different attributes, the corpse, who should have no emotion, fell in love with the heroine at first sight. Some people think that R has eaten Julie's boyfriend's brain, and only after Julie's boyfriend's memory will he fall in love with Julie deeply. I don't agree. When Julie's heroic shooting with a gun appeared in front of her eyes, R had already forgotten everything around him, and remembered a song called "Missing You" in translation, when Julie's boyfriend shot R in the chest. Before, R was about to walk towards his goddess.
Coming to Julie, R immediately has the instinct to speak, and also overcomes the instinct of cannibalism. He took her home, and they listened to music, raced, played, and chatted, just like any normal man or woman. In this way, in the zombie colony, the corpse and the human fell in love with lightning speed. Although this corpse once ate the human boyfriend, who said that Julie is not a maverick human?
Love made R have a heartbeat again. In front of the zombie crowd, humans timidly took R's hand and hid by his side. At this moment, a subtle change occurred. The zombies who were going to eat Julie were inexplicably killed. Impressed and silently made way for them, that night, the zombies recovered their heartbeats and began to have memories and dreams.
The corpse poison is rampant, and the surviving humans think that the world will eventually perish. Unexpectedly, love has defeated the biochemical crisis!
R is a good corpse. He said that to protect Julie, he must do it. His persistence and the joy of the rest of his life moved Julie. She gave R a deep kiss, just like a prince kissing a sleeping princess , Humans kiss alive the corpse! R and his ilk were thus transformed back into human beings.
In this movie, love certainly has the power beyond nature, but in the final analysis, the greatest power comes from two maverick young men and women. If R and Julie obediently follow their own thoughts and practices, how can they fall in love and change the world? Therefore, only the maverick can save mankind.
