In fact, when I first paid attention to this film, I had certain expectations. There are two reasons. One is the theme. The zombie film adapted from Japanese comics should be somewhat different. The other is the cast. Zengchang Zeyamei has a pure combination of village and frame, and it is easy to arouse the audience's interest in watching movies.
Because it is a comic adaptation, there are a lot of comedy stalks in the film, and at the same time, it also presents a little exaggerated style that is not so rigid: the semi-zombie has the village Kasumi, who is not dead if the arrow is pierced into the brain; and the one that keeps repeating Zombies in high jumping action.
Although I haven't seen the original comics, I can roughly confirm that a setting like this should be derived from the comics. After it was incorporated into the movie, not only did it not produce a sense of incongruity, but it brought a fresher viewing experience. Although the intensity is not large and the number is not large, it is enough from the perspective of entertainment only.
Going back to the story, the whole incident is actually very routine, it is nothing more than a story of a diaosi counterattacking and becoming a hero. But it has to be said in advance that when you go to see such a movie, what is the expected positioning of the movie? I don't think I can see a story that deeply displays and analyzes human nature, because this is unrealistic, and this is destined to be just an ordinary commercial entertainment film. Under such a positioning, all you care about is whether it is entertaining enough.
And what is Japanese anime, especially hot-blooded manga, best at? It's not just the routine of diaosi's counterattack and passion. Therefore, if there is no pursuit, the routine of the story is actually an insurance measure in a sense, and the minimum stimulation is guaranteed. Of course, this film is not just the bare minimum, it's still above the horizon.
As an actor, for Daquan Yang, who has his own diaosi temperament, it is basically easy to play a middle-aged loser + a dead house, and it is almost no difficulty. Such a diaosi character is named "Hero Suzuki". The name is coupled with the persistent cowardice and cowardice in the first half, which makes people's expectations for the outbreak at the end also rise.
Some of the people who have watched the movie complained that the film used too long to describe the weakness and inaction of the protagonist in the first half of the journey. It's not because of the difference in focus, I don't feel that way. Some interesting details still grab my attention.
It's like the scene before Oizumi Yo and Arimura Kasumi's president Masami Sawa: Zombies with twisted bodies staggered around, the streets were cluttered and desolate, and a charred corpse suddenly entered the mirror...
Yes Doesn't it feel a little familiar? If I remember correctly, similar scenes should have appeared in "28 Days Shocked" and "The Walking Dead". This kind of scene is very helpful for the atmosphere of zombie films.
Of course, in any case, our main focus will always be the climax of the protagonist's counterattack and eventually becoming a true hero. Only from the point of view of blood stimulation, the climax of "Please Call Me a Hero" is quite well done -
under the siege of zombies on both sides, a gun, 96 rounds of bullets, no missing bullets, headshots with guns, and finally In the face of the high jumping zombie, you can directly swipe the gun and hit the head. In terms of the excitement and bloodiness of the scene, it should also give you a surge of adrenaline.
Sometimes, commercial films are like this, which can keep you from falling asleep. When you watch it with your mind, you find that the popcorn in your hand has also been eaten, and that is enough. If possible, you can have a little more talk after dinner.
