"Please Call Me Hero" is one of the few zombie-themed movies in Asia recently, and it's also one of the more grand and atmospheric movies I've seen in Japan recently, comparable to South Korea's "Train to Busan".
I like zombie apocalyptic movies very much. There are loneliness and sadness, survival and death, and of course heroic feelings. Call Me Hero is the same narrative mode as most zombie movies. First, let’s talk about the living conditions of the little people. The protagonist Suzuki is a complete little person. Although he has won the Newcomer Award in the comics, he has not achieved anything in ten years. His life has been hovering on the edge of poverty and poverty. cowardly. The director spent a lot of space telling Suzuki's failed life, nothing more than to win the audience's sympathy and identify with the protagonist. Then the story started from small to big. Because of the spread of the virus, his girlfriend and colleagues were infected with the virus one after another. Suzuki began to escape from the family and the company, and fled to the street only to find that the whole city was shrouded in the horror of zombie siege. In the process of escaping, I met a survival group, and after joining it, I found out that it was not Noah's Ark. Under the constant pressure, Suzuki has also transformed from a cowardly and timid diaosi into a brave and fearless hero who destroys zombies. This kind of plot of a small person's counterattack is not uncommon in movies, but it has been tried and tested. Another innovation of this film is the characterization of zombies, which is a breakthrough. In the previous zombie-themed movies, zombies have no character. This movie has certain innovations in this regard, and zombies will still have the memories of when they were human beings. For example, after a high jumper turns into a zombie, he still jumps from time to time. After a taxi driver turns into a zombie, he still thinks about not breaking the rules. After a woman who likes shopping turns into a zombie, she has to bang her head against the door of the store. Interesting and real.
The movie also has many shortcomings. For example, there are many comedy elements in it to let the audience's tense nerves relax properly, but it is not too successful; for example, the character description of the characters and the emotional description of Suzuki and the two heroines It is not too delicate, and I find it difficult to make the audience feel the same way; for example, the handling of the final climax is too simple and rude, there is only one scene, and only one method is used to eliminate all the zombies, lacking the twists and turns of the plot, it is difficult To mobilize the audience's viewing emotions, it shows that the whole movie is still a bit lacking in design, which is anticlimactic.
Movie rating: (good)
