The protagonist, Sean, is a guy who has done nothing. He hangs around in bars all day, and has the same smell of love who is more ineffective than him. He wakes up naturally every day, wakes up and ran to the supermarket to buy milk and cones, and gave the beggar a little money on his way home. Playing games with Ed... Several times when he stepped barefoot on the carpet and yawned, it made people think he was actually a zombie. For an unknown reason, people in the entire area were infected and gradually turned into cannibals. Sean, Ed and a few other friends escaped from the dead, taking risks in order to survive and fought back. But this film didn't want to create a majestic concept of a doomsday hero denying himself for others. Originally, Sean lived a life like a zombie under normal circumstances. How good can he be counted on? The scene of the handsome leaping over the fence and falling into a mouth gnawing mud has clearly reflected the theme of the film’s “anti-hero”, but when everyone around became zombies, this Xiao who was tortured by life was a walking corpse. Eun is refreshed, maybe it can be explained that everyone, no matter how mediocre and vulgar, may be able to reflect a little otherworldly character on a certain occasion. But this kind of explanation I think is too simplistic and conceptual. Perhaps this is a fun movie, and I don't want to explain how profound the meaning is. I just want to break the clichés of previous zombie movies and inject a little freshness into this type of movie.
I think there is no more humor in the film than the ending. When Sean and his girlfriend were about to die together with the zombies to make a bloody road, the army that had evaporated for many days suddenly descended from the sky and saved them. And six months later, humans took the dominance of the earth again. The funny thing is that people did not develop any drugs to reverse the people who have become zombies, but naturally accepted the existence of this "non-human" ethnic group. TV shows There are various theories, because scientists discovered that zombies still maintain their original hobbies, so the zombies who like to be supermarket salespersons continue to organize carts outside the supermarket; a woman sleeps in the same bed with her zombie husband every day; The TV host even felt ashamed for the fact that he once taught residents to kill zombies to get headshots on the show, and repented of the remarks that trampled on human rights...Of course, these zombies were locked. And Sean also enjoyed this life in the end, and finally embraced the beauty, and his friend Ed, although he became a zombie, Sean still gave him a place to stay, and the two still played games together every day— —All behaviors are the same as in the past, the only difference is that charity is locked.
In other words, at the end of the film, the boring people continue to be bored, the mediocre people are still mediocre, and everything is calm again. Maybe this life is too boring, even the end of the world and zombies have to be dissolved by this powerful boring. , Digest, until it becomes a part of it.
I want to understand now, why is the title of this film called Shaun of the dead, the protagonist Shaun, he is just one of thousands of zombies. Compared with those who are unfortunately turned into zombies, he is actually not There is not much difference. His body is alive and his behavior is dead. In fact, his thinking stays at the level of zombies (only to maintain a primitive reflection on his hobbies). Compared with zombies, this kind of absurd life state does not know whether it is lucky or unlucky. I think this is probably what the directors and screenwriters want to tease about, haha~
So I have to say, this film is very smart and cute, and I like it very much.
