Since Paterson liked Jarmusch's films. I was looking forward to The Dead don't Die, but found that the IMDB score was very low, only 5.8, but the score was very polarized, either I liked it very much (8+), or said it was completely mindless and a waste of time (3-) . After watching this film, I only felt two words: relaxation. I feel that when Jarmusch made the film, he was very happy, and he didn't seem to care much about the reaction of the film critics and the audience...
I feel that the director made this film with a relaxed attitude, and even in many places it was casual and deliberate. For example, he was forced to listen to "The Dead don't Die" once at the beginning. The seemingly innocuous jokes show the relationship between characters and characters that are not very important in fact, forced to watch dead bodies three times, forced to listen to wild animals many times, official complaints about the director, etc. I feel like he is deliberately creating these repeated episodes , I silently rolled my eyes many times in my heart, but I couldn't help laughing. Slow-paced nonsense, open your mind,
When the zombies started appearing, everything seemed to be fast and slow, as if so many things had happened in an instant, and as if everything was taken for granted. The zombies here can understand people's language, shouting Coffe, holding mobile phones and looking for wifi, baseball players playing baseball, tennis players playing tennis, quite models can also say "fashion", when Cliff says right to Frank When he couldn't bear it, Frank greeted Cliff and turned away. The zombies did not attack the grandpa who lived in the mountains. I even thought about it, if I didn't face the zombies with a hostile and resistance mentality, but treated them as people from another world, if they couldn't get along, they would say hello and go their separate ways, would it be okay? coexist.
It seems that I have watched a zombie movie, but I have not watched it again. There is a shadow of Jarmusu in the past, but it is very different. I seem to see the OS in Jiamusu's heart: "The old lady is happy to shoot, so I don't care what you think and how you watch it. Are you looking forward to watching a literary film or a blockbuster?
The works created by Slack are not necessarily the best, but the creators enjoy it during the creation process. When the audience can feel that relaxation, and immerse and enjoy it, I think the audience participates in the creation of the work, becomes a part of the work, and creates a relaxing time with the director, which is probably my favorite. The place for this movie.
The ending subtitle of the movie mentions: Nosferatu, so I went to see it. In the 1922 film, many films have the shadow of Nosferatu: the image of modern vampires, and even the plot of four hundred years of horror has similar places. Now it's not scary at all, and I even want to laugh... Thinking about it almost 100 years ago, it might have been a very scary horror movie...
