Zombie movies in American pop culture in the true sense

Why is it true? Because the zombie culture in the United States originally originated from B-level movies, and the routines of B-level movies or CLUT movies often don’t follow the routine. I won’t say if it’s too old. For example, there is a movie called "Horror Planet", which uses one This is a very peculiar way to shoot an explosive movie about killing zombies with all kinds of stalks. This kind of movie was actually very common in zombie genre films in the past. Of course, I’m not talking about his peculiar shooting method. Just talking about the plot structure. Later, there were more and more such movies, and more and more shoddy ones. Then, in order to distinguish from those shoddy zombie movies that were produced at a small cost, more and more directors gave a zombie movie. The direction is to have heads, tails, reasons and results. Then, as we saw later, either a virus outbreak or a plague outbreak. In short, people die and live. Humans must use heavy firepower to fight against the overwhelming zombies. To create a picture of hell that destroys the world, or escapes all the way, in the middle, a few people die and the most damn escape is born, in short, it turns the zombie type movie into a kind of routine through the film industry. Processed things. It's completely different from the past that you can't find any explanation to explain how the zombies come, why the heroes can kill the zombies so coolly.

However, "Zombies Are Not Dead" has essentially returned to the B-level sense of traditional zombie films, and even did not forget to bury all kinds of stalks in the film to tease industrial process zombie films and the excessive desire of humans for pop culture. Finally, The ridicule about the relationship between people and popular culture is mainly concentrated on the behavior of zombies and the large poem recitation at the end of the film, while many anti-traditional stalks in the film are concentrated on the seemingly large section before the zombie crisis broke out. In the lengthy literary drama, let me give a few examples below.

1. The youth group who does not die

In general zombie movies, the juvenile group is usually the people who continue to die and die. Most of the people finally survived. However, in this movie, only a few pictures of the juvenile trio are shown. One is two women and one man watching the news. It’s said that this will be the end of the world. The second is that the living dead appear in the town and start to die. The juvenile trio complains that the town is too quiet, and the third is the trio watching the people in the correctional facility get eaten outside. He hid in the storage room and did not run out, and then waited for the zombies to go to the mayor to find a hiding place. Basically, these three people are the coolest person in the film.

2. The passerby with the protagonist's face

When the first three drove "very George Romero style" cool cars came to town, the large part of the plot resembled the protagonists in traditional zombie movies, whether it was the lines or their behavior styles, and The composition of the personnel, no matter how you look at them, are the people who will survive in the end. As a result, these three are just passers-by. After the zombies broke out, they were given a shot of all dead, and then they were "preventively chopped off their heads" by the police one by one.

3. Why do you have to drive over zombies

The policemen drove all the way after being bombarded by "Zelda". The old policeman went to crush the passing zombies several times. The female policeman in the back repeatedly asked him why he wanted to crush them. The old policeman just smiled contemptuously. died. This is usually a stalk that makes everyone laugh in traditional industrialized zombie movies. Then, as soon as the camera turns, the director tells you the consequences of rolling the zombies. The wheels are stuck by the hands and feet of the zombies and can't move, and then the car is surrounded by a large group of zombies.

4. It won't end well

There are three police officers, the old policeman, the handsome policeman, and the policewoman. Whenever the old policeman makes unwise decisions that often appear in traditional movies, the handsome policeman will say that there will be no good end. In the end, there will be no good. When the scene is over, the old policeman asked the police officer Shuai, how did you know the prophet, the police officer said embarrassingly, the director showed me the complete script.

5. Just make you scratch your head

Generally, in genre movies, you always like to put a few anti-genre characters or events to highlight your own uniqueness, but most of the situations are terrible, such as animals that appear more or less in every zombie movie. Of course, it’s not an animal in this film. It’s "Zelda". Hahahaha. I say that because the actor’s hairstyle in the movie is really Zelda. Of course, this actor is called Tilda Swinton. Many people may not be able to respond to this. I said that Master Gu Yi estimates that many people will understand who it is. The actor played a martial arts and powerful funeral home manager in the film. Generally speaking, this kind of role in traditional movies will be blocked. Killing Buddha will eventually become the absolute main force in the BOSS battle, and then cover the weak protagonist team to leave. However, there are no such moths in this movie. People are aliens. The earth has nothing to do with zombies. People pat their buttocks. I took a flying saucer and left, hahahahahahahaha, the people around looked dumbfounded.

When the old policeman asked the handsome policeman this paragraph is also in the script? When the handsome policeman answered NO with a dazed expression, I almost laughed to death.

In short, if you want to watch a zombie movie that has the beginning and the end, you can move to other movies. If you want to watch a retro and different zombie movie from start to finish, then you are welcome to come to "Zombie TV." (laugh)
