The peculiar fears of wild adults are mostly derived from sensitive childhood experiences. From this point of view, it seems that we can rashly attribute Peter Jackson's ghost complex to the old version of the monster movie [King Kong]. His unbridled imagination made him obsessed with horror and fantasy, just like falling in love with a passionate and sexy exotic girl , This rough but romantic emotion finally found a gentle expression after he got the first camera, which is the movie.
[Group corpses play across the border] It is the first time for young Peter Jackson to go wild. All the understanding of horror in his youth was accompanied by his uninhibited and young talents, cheap blood plasma and amputated props, countless nauseating scenes, mixed with "Peter-style" black humor, and the style was so strong Almost out of control, just like he can't control his talent, you have forgotten his magical heroism in [Lord of the Rings] and the gentle orangutan in [King Kong] for a while.
Peter Jackson opens the story by focusing on a bizarre "mouse monkey", and uses the suspicious-looking zookeeper to reveal his more bizarre and absurd source: the big rat on the slave ship raped all the little tree monkeys. product. Humans who are bewitched by their desire for conquest and immediate interests are like clowns in Peter Jackson's lens: rude animal predators, timid black followers, and they are all ugly. Most of the disasters in the world are caused by human beings. Peter Jackson has said something similar to the truth through the mouth of the natives: let the monkeys go, leave the valley, or you will be punished by evil spirits. However, the greedy human beings seem to have no time to wait for the consequences. At this time, Peter Jackson seemed to show a strange smile, because one of his bloody dances was about to whistle.
An excellent zombie movie can't be without a sexy girl. If she is more enthusiastic and a little exotic by the way, it will definitely make the audience feel terrified at the same time. Men will take off their work clothes in a panic, and Pagita, who has put on a beautiful dress, comes to us.
When a passionate foreign woman meets a dull traditional good boy, there is always a good story. After the magical prophecy of the tarot cards, Leno appeared in front of Paigeta's eyes. This is a man who will be at a loss when he sees a beautiful strange woman. Paigeta, who was addicted to the story of tarot cards, was hopelessly in love with this man. She knew that this man was about to be enveloped by death, but she still rushed to her love without hesitation.
Some people say that a woman's biggest rival in love is the strong love-son complex of her partner's mother. Vera's deformed mother's love for Leno is another clue of [Group Corpse Playing the Boundary]. It and a love that is about to come out but not to say anything, constantly conflict with the development of the story, similar to the "love and mother". The question of who to save first after falling into the water kept pounding the fragile Leno. When Vera appeared, Peter Jackson used slightly miraculous camera language, crudely and meticulously portrayed the neurotic mother's desire for conquest and potential violence towards her son. From this point of view, the "Mouse Monkey" is like a negligent judge at this time. It seems that Vera's unknown husband-killing behavior is all seen by this evil spirit, and it is very important to Vera. The verdict is to make her the first zombie.
No matter how comical the corpses are, when it comes to disaster and terror, you have to get serious. The zombie virus spreads from Vera, nurses, priests and street gangsters are infected and die one after another. When Peter Jackson created his terrifying atmosphere, he became especially rigorous and careful, just like a tiger sniffing a rose, always taking care of himself, because after all, life and death are never a hasty topic. But when the camera focuses on how the protagonist responds, Peter Jackson becomes mischievous again and plays with his talents triumphantly: the priest's exaggerated Chinese kung fu, Leno's hilarious outdoor activities with zombie babies, etc. For what the New York Daily News called "the bloodiest work to date," it seemed like the only time viewers could throw popcorn in their mouths without any hesitation, and then burst out laughing.
Plasma Ball
In Kafka's "The Metamorphoses", Gregor has such a description after his transformation: "How could this be Gregor, if it were Gregor, he would have understood long ago that people cannot Live with such an animal, and he will walk away automatically. This way I can live without my brother, and will honor him." However, the departure of a powerful mother left Leno for a while. Putting his indecision and dependence, this involves the problem of "contradiction between the soul and the body" proposed by Kafka, that is, when the body is deformed, does the soul wrapped in the skin mutate along with it. Leno, who is good at escaping reality, chose to continue with "mother" and zombies as if nothing had happened, arming his life like his big house, making it inaccessible, which is probably another translation The origin of forbidden land].
The time of a short film is often unable to contain the talent and feelings of an aspiring young director, just like Peter Jackson, and all the audience can do is to give themselves full control to the creator. , keep up with his rhythm, by the way, as Peter Jackson is to us. So we don't have to care about questions like "Why does the last mother zombie think rationally?", we just have to enjoy Peter's "Plasma Ball", go wild, and get hooked.
When the masters were young and vigorous, it was inevitable to tease the world, and Peter Jackson was not far behind. The demonized priests and mothers represent Peter's questioning of ethics and religion, the incest of zombie priests and zombie nurses, and the zombie mothers opening their blood-filled belly and chanting: "No one loves you more than your mother. "This sentence sounds very similar: "Baby! Come back to your mother's womb!" Peter used an almost crazy way to expound the ridicule of his own moral decline, challenging the audience's physiological and psychological double bottom line .
David Lawrence's work "Son and Lover", the father of sex novels, also depicted a "Oedipus complex" similar to Leno's. The mother is like a lingering shadow, shrouding his life. When love gets closer, the soul will be torn apart to the point of pain. But unlike Lawrence, Peter Jackson gave Leno room to grow as a man, from tiptoeing in front of his mother and strange women, to holding a lawnmower and shouting: "Party is over!" In the flesh-and-blood limb-cutting dance, accompanied by passionate rock music, he completed his transformation. Since then, he has put down his burden. Even if his mouth is full of blood, he will kiss Paigeta.
Before getting to know [Group Corpse], you may have seen Simon Pegg's [Zombie Sean] or Robert Rodriguez's [Terrorist Planet], or even Stephen Chow's [Return to Soul Night], Although in this movie age, generation is not so important, it was Peter Jackson's wanton destruction of traditional horror films and his hysterical talent that inspired Simon Pegg, Rodriguez and others. The admiration and association of the film also made the excellent comedy zombie films spew out like flames, so even Simon Pegg had to admit that the inspiration of [Zombie Shaun] mainly came from [Group Zombies]. This heavy-duty B-movie, which has won numerous awards at various film festivals including the French Avoriaz Film Festival, made young Peter Jackson stand out and has a special place in the hearts of zombie fans all over the world. All this is not only It's because of the more than 300 kilograms of plasma on the screen or because some theaters specially prepared vomit bags for it. So before we discuss Peter Jackson's [Lord of the Rings] and [King Kong], it's okay to put a "Master of Horror" hat on his head.
So sometimes, I can imagine a scene like this: My roommate and I were playing "Legend of Survival" in the dormitory. As the game progressed, I suddenly found a scene that was especially bloody. It was a big house, inside Except for one lawn mower, which was full of corpses and blood plasma, I was stunned for a moment, then clicked the mouse lightly, and the lawn mower turned frantically. That's when I realized, oh, damn, I've been in Peter Jackson's dance again before I know it!
