Recently, taking advantage of the popularity of the Busan trip, I have refocused on watching some foreign zombie films. Today, I want to mainly talk about the 28 days of shocking changes (28 days of shocking changes and 28 weeks of shocking changes).
When one day, when you wake up, the world becomes very quiet, there is not even a single figure, how would you feel, the protagonist Jim encountered such a "good thing", 28 days after the car accident, Britain fell under the attack of the zombie virus.
The virus originated in a laboratory, and animal protectionists refused to listen to advice, and with a face of justice, let go of the gorilla infected with the "violent and aggressive virus called anger". Then in an instant, they were bitten by the gorilla.
In fact, the zombies in this film are not really zombies, because they did not die, that is to say, they were just infected with the virus, and it was the virus that made them mad. This virus, like SARS, avian flu, and Ebola, did not exist on Earth before! In other words, such a virus may really appear in the future.
Zombie films like to show humanity through the performance of people facing life and death choices, and the Shocking Change 28 series is no exception.
In the face of zombie viruses, some people choose to fight side by side with humans, some use their status as soldiers to commit crimes, and of course there are soldiers who defy orders and resolutely refuse to shoot at civilians.
In the face of zombies, every human choice is related to the life and death of oneself or others. The most scolded in 28 weeks is the disaster brought by the selfishness of two children to the safe zone. Faced with the situation where people and zombies are not separated In order to ensure that more people are not harmed, the army chose to kill.
This choice sometimes has only one option.
There is no so-called selfishness or cruelty. All human behaviors are just for escape and enjoyment. In the face of life and death, all explanations are pale.
Disaster films use fictional plots to convey the values of human beings facing life and death: only by living can there be hope.
One of the usual ways of expression in disaster movies is that it is not the disaster itself that is truly terrible, but the people in the disaster. Especially in the 28-day-changing army, the use of radio to attract survivors is just for the soldiers who are cool.
Jim went from being a courier with no hands to a survivor who didn't blink. He knew that if you wanted to live, others would have to die.
The first part of the Sudden Change 28 series was filmed in 2002. When I watch this film 14 years later, I still feel that the standard is no worse than "Travel to Busan". It influenced many later zombie-themed movies, but none of them had as distinctive features as it.
It has cold colors, and the decadence and desolation in the lens makes people feel depressed and dull. When it is not talking, it can also feel the difficulty of life through the screen, and the difficulty of living. In the face of disaster, what is terrible is not the virus and zombies, but the helplessness and the pain of being "betrayed" by the compatriots.
These two films were indeed filmed in the UK, and they are daring enough to be black. If the army is filmed like that dick, the government will become cannon fodder without even having a soy sauce. In the second part, the US military even directly took over the jurisdiction of London. Yes, this is very British. A weak question: The British Radio, Film and Television Bureau, are you all right?
