I felt very familiar just after watching a little bit. After reading the director’s information, I understood why I was familiar. I have watched more than one film of him. This one is a breakthrough and used a more realistic approach , But it still doesn't feel as good as the "Ninth District" gives me.
Let's get back to the subject, if there is no thought on the topic, express a little bit of my own opinion. What the director wants to express is a creature that loses its mind and humanity: zombies. Constant killing, constant infection, constant cycle, until the complete extinction of mankind. But is this possible?
Movies always use some exaggerated methods to express the director's thoughts. My personal understanding is that many people nowadays are not much different from the zombies in the movie, but they are not contagious. Without thinking every day, mechanical repetition begins at dawn, or it is to indulge in a life of drunkenness and gold, life is better than death. Zombies are a kind of exaggerated realism, not only without thought, but also with only bloodthirsty nature.
Fortunately, we can still use plants to supplement the necessary nutrients for the body. If the necessary nutrients for the body can only be obtained in the blood of animals, I think what the director wants to express is not far from us.
Fortunately, we still have thoughts. After being born in this world, we continue to study and think, gradually become human, and gradually become a social animal.
To be honest, the horror effect of this film is not good, but the theme is quite deep. Cherish our lives, because we never have a chance to look back.
If there are no thoughts, I hope that day will not be there.
