In fact, this is a film in which East Londoners show their love for their homeland, kindness and bravery to vindicate their consistent image.
First, the historical context is clear: East London has historically been a slum since at least Victorian times, where a large number of the lowest-ranking people have taken root there for hundreds of years. Although it can't be called a slum now, it is also a crime-prone area. The world-shaking Jack the Ripper took place in East London, as well as the famous gang of twin brothers in London's history of the 1950s and 1960s who started from scratch in East London.
So the image of the people of East London has always been bad. East London can be roughly regarded as the geographic east of London.
It's not accurate for the title to translate Cockney as a Londoner, Cockney is an East Londoner with an East London accent. The noble and glamorous country like the United Kingdom (which has been manifested in all aspects for hundreds of years) uses accents to distinguish grades. Although the concept of accent = grade is gradually weakening, everyone still generally thinks that a Cockney accent is "no way" Say the performance of proper english". It is really difficult to translate this non-proper english. Please feel the feeling that Shanghainese, Beijingers, any urbanites despise country people and foreigners. (For example, please do not start regional disputes).
I'm not a linguist, I can only speak from my own experience. When you watch this movie, you can pay attention to the characteristics of non-proper english accents.
For example: the pronunciation of t is very light, like put and get, the
pronunciation of er is very light, t+er is simply challenging my hearing limit, and
the pronunciation of i such as butter with Cockney accent is very, very unique. If you have seen Hepburn's "My Fair Lady", you should have an impression of this sentence "the inferior people can't even pronounce the most basic vowels". Hepburn's character has a paragraph in non-proper english saying that a, e, i, o, u are purely reading letters, and you will understand how difficult vowels are for the people of Cockney. Can't remember if it started at 13 or 30.
Comments from netizens interviewed by the director on YouTube: I'll bet the producers saved a lot of money on printer toner, considering none of the Cockney lines needed the letter "h." Don't need to print it out)
It's too far away, in fact, it's not too far away, the previous one was foreshadowing.
Speaking of this film, first of all it is to vindicate the consistent image of the people of Cockney East London. A few kids committed a crime by robbing a bank, but they did it for grandpa's nursing home, and the purpose was good. And it can be seen that their nature is not bad (the sister who comforted the bank hostage to become a zombie, repeatedly said that the gun was just to scare people and not allowed to shoot before robbing the bank).
From the beginning of the film, the good guys and the bad guys have already begun to have distinct characteristics.
Also, all the bad guys in the movie's logic are dead.
1 For example, the iron-headed black man shot against the original intention of the three teenagers, so he was violently attacked by a grenade.
2 The bank hostage male staff kept saying that they would be handed over to the police, but the plot is that the three teenagers are good-natured, and this kind of guy who shuts people down is damned.
The 3-year-old fat friend was accidentally beaten to death by a male bank clerk, because he was not "kind-hearted", he said that he just needed money to pay the rent and improve his life.
4 bank hostage female staff. Although she just wants to make the robbers happy, it is best to let her go as soon as she is happy, at least what she said is true, it is true that my sister is sick, not a lie to get away, otherwise she would not risk a group of zombies and insist on The teenager drove to his sister's house.
5 A total of 4 people survived in the robbery group, 3 are relatives who want to help grandpa, and the sturdy eldest sister with first-class car stealing skills is their cousin. There is also a hostage who understands the teenagers.
So the bad guys are dead, Oye!
Why do you say love your home? I don't need to say more about this, just look at what they said after they finally got on the boat. Grandpa said that this is our hometown, we will not give up and will not leave, and the sturdy eldest sister asked: Who will come to save us? In fact, they saved themselves.
The people of East London want to say that even if this is a bad place in your eyes, we still love our homeland, and the teenager also said that his grandfather did not want to go to the north because he grew up here.
No matter how I watch this film, I love it so much. Why do you all watch zombies? Zombies are really not the point! This movie is not the same as Shaun the Zombie.
The Chinese people's patriotism makes people feel that they are suspected of brainwashing. The patriotism of the British and their love for their hometown is a kind of love from the heart. Although they complain all day about their food, weather, and the country's small size, those are all love. Tell him to throw you in Las Vegas, Florida, Long Island, Kangaroo Country, Sheep Country, or something? Sunshine Good Food Good Speak English. They certainly don't want to, they still like their own country. Tourism can change nationality or something, just talk about it. Chinese people are different, they all want to run outside, so patriotism is not true love. What I love is the symbol of China, so many wives and children send all their money to the United States.
And how big is the big Chinese city than London? How big can East London be? But their love is small. They love the place they live and the place they grew up. In fact, this small-scale affection for their hometown is far more real and moving than the love for the whole country.
However, this is also determined by their national conditions. It is not like China, and the United Kingdom is not a whole piece. Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland despise those who come and go all day long, and the division of nations naturally becomes smaller and smaller. Cockney is a nation of its own.
A solemn reminder, please do not criticize the food weather with the British! ! It's no problem for the Chinese to get together and complain, but the boring British people smile and smile on the surface, but some people are very upset. Just like the neighbors tell you that my son is really stupid and he always gets second in the exam. If you look contemptuous and say yes, if your son is stupid, my son will always get first place, then the relationship between your neighbors will definitely be over. The British do the same with their neighbors.
Grandpa's actor can be said to be an "East London professional", always acting in gangster movies. In Guy Ritchie's "Snatch and Steal", he is the boss of the gang. Now when I talk about the gang, I think this is not East London. Even if the gang character in his movie is not said to be East London, I will automatically give him the right seat. .
The director said that the reason for choosing zombies is that East Londoners have beaten away many intruders in history. If they have not beaten zombies, they will play zombies this time. So in essence this film reflects the spirit of the people of Cockney defending their homeland.
If possible, you can watch the director's interview on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_HYYr9O4mw
I feel that the director's accent is very strange, is he trying to hide his original accent? ?
A lot of bullshit movie review. . . Just take a look, please comment, don't come to love Chinese education, don't come to regional attacks. I didn't say that the Chinese are worse than 0, and I didn't say that the British are better than 1,000,000. Learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians, and appreciate the merits of people you don't want to see. Hitler has also been on the cover of Time magazine, which shows that he also has very good skills.
