This one has to put the screenwriter's name on it, the idea is awesome. I was always worried about what would happen along the way, but the story was very restrained. (In terms of commercialization, though, there may be a lack of climax.)

This movie really hit my point. Alienation, alienation and replacement have always been the themes I wanted to talk about. I never thought the screenwriter would put it in the zombie theme. But it's not so strange to think about it, but someone finally found the correct way to open the zombie theme...

I always felt that the zombie theme was handled too simply. It is obviously the setting of the end of the world, but 90% of the stories revolve around the "escape - chase - frightening monsters" mode, and "Alien" and "Jurassic Park" are a routine. If they dig a little deeper, they always seem to be unable to get around the theme of "human nature", and they generally speak in a dull and irritating eyes. I'd rather they play the "ghost monster" routine honestly. Obviously it is also an apocalyptic theme, and the zombie sub-category is like being discriminated against. It can only say those things when it comes and goes. However, the themes of the end of the world are generally not well-spoken... After all, the proposition is too grand.

This film is a good prototype of a topic. Due to the length of the film, more content cannot be expanded. With a tolerance of 1.5 hours, it is difficult for the screenwriter to put down his ideas, and it seems restrained. (Because the average storyteller, once he encounters an idea that he thinks is special, is easy to be complacent, eloquently bypass the story itself, and fall into the misunderstanding of the setting.)

The Girl with All the Gifts quotes

  • Dr. Caroline Caldwell: In dissection it's very clear. The fungus is wrapped around your brain like, ivy around an oak tree.

    Melanie: But I can talk. I'm like you.

    Dr. Caroline Caldwell: You're not like anything that's ever existed before.

  • Melanie: Babies can't eat people.

    Dr. Caroline Caldwell: These ones did. The mothers were probably all infected at once, in a single incident. Then the embryos they were carrying took the infection as well... through the placenta... They ate their way out.
