See ourselves through the world of zombies

Watching movies about zombies started with Resident Evil. I was short-sighted and mistakenly thought that Resident Evil was a domestic biochemical zombie. Then I didn’t care much. Later, after watching it on a whim, I realized that those were slow, bloody, and crippled. The "living dead" who have to eat people with their limbs are also the darlings of European and American movies.
Some people say that Biochemistry is personal heroism, while others criticize that Biochemistry is not as exciting as the game. It is undeniable that anyone likes something and others hate it.
But I don’t know why, I’m stubbornly like this kind of film. I watched Biochemical 1-4 many times, and I deliberately found many other movies on related themes: Dawn of the Living Dead, Bloodthirsty Dawn, Land of the Living Dead, Zombie Out of the Cage . . . . . . Although the same, the process is really enjoyable.
The zombies are not the extreme disgusting, but the scene of attacking in groups makes people worry and nervous, after all, few can survive. The more you are afraid, the easier you will die in danger, and the brave face can last longer. This is the tone of the depiction of human nature in zombie movies. Heroism is a must. Fear and timidity are the character weaknesses of most people, and only a few people will not lose the ability to respond to this terrifying situation in life, but can bravely fight for their lives. Sometimes the scene is not personally controllable, so casualties are inevitable.
Watching a zombie movie is a way of pursuit of excitement, not afraid, just entangled in the survival of the characters in the movie. After all, zombies are far from our lives.
Personally, I like Biochemical 3 the most. Alice's power has basically been released. The worldwide expansion of zombie activities and the endless desolation are the climax of several movies. I like Alice's eyes very much. They are cold but not boring. The exquisite facial features condense a sober sense of oppression. Such a way of interpreting women's strength makes us proud that we are also a member of women.
Sometimes I think about it, if I face this kind of situation, can I still be in danger?
Of course the answer is probably no. Therefore, art is art after all, but it can also give us the cherishment and yearning for real life. The traps and detours in life can sometimes destroy the will of a person who is not firm and lacks courage. It is true that these humans have the commonality. Or bad-rooted reactions in life also require our own personal heroism to face it bravely.
Everyone can potentially become Alice, but most people will die in the fight with "zombies". . . Isn't life like this?
