This is not a movie, it's a personal impression
If you see the cast of this movie first, and then look at the rating, you will be curious about what power is it that made this group of awesome actors make a bad movie. This movie has a rating of only 5.7, but it has Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, and Steve Buscemi starring in this movie. If there is only one big actor in a bad movie, it is quite normal. But this one is very curious. The reason may be director Jia Muxu, this is a strange director.
Although this film is a zombie film, it is obviously full of black humor. To make a long story short, I personally understand that the director compares humans to zombies in the movie, because the loss of soul, greed and intemperance will inevitably bring about the end of the world. Driven by the commercial society, the desire for expansion is endless and insatiable. Finally swallowed myself.
They have become zombies, they are looking for wireless, and they are also pursuing fashion. And the last few lines of the movie are the core.
"Zombie, a lingering materialist"
"They came back from the dead, and out of control like ants"
"It seems that these ghosts have lost their souls. They must have bought him and exchanged them for gold, new cars, new clothes, new game consoles, etc., they will only be greedy for more things."
And the last line is "what a sick world". This is Jamusch’s worldview.
It is a tradition for independent films to laugh at business society. In the case of many independent directors, the booming commercial society will eventually lead to the "final judgment" of human beings. Different people have different opinions in this regard, and I don't want to discuss this issue here. But I personally believe that in the face of an unstoppable business society, groups cannot escape, but individuals can still try to keep their distance. This is a kind of freedom.
Jia Muxu’s films are all low-cost films, but what’s interesting is that many top-tier actors have lowered their wages to make films for him. That’s why we saw this small-cost zombie film. There were five or six international first-line actors. In the case of running tricks. Independent movies are still influential~~
