Everyone should have the consciousness of being a hero. No matter how miserable life is and how cruel the reality is, they should have the courage to fight for themselves.
"Please Call Me Hero" is about the awakening of characters under the rampage of zombies. The process of the male protagonist's transformation from nothing to a hero without too much outside intervention is nothing more than a breakthrough for survival, just like he is hiding in the closet I imagined the scene of myself rushing out and being bitten again and again. This inner fear was finally conquered by the help from the walkie-talkie, and I embarked on the road of saving her without hesitation.
It is unscientific to compare Japanese zombie movies like "Please Call Me Hero" with Korean zombie movies like "Train to Busan". The horror movies of the two countries have strict regional characteristics and standards.
"Train to Busan", like many Korean films, pays great attention to the social status quo and morality and ethics. There are too many social and political criticisms in the film. For example, the origin of the virus is the black-box operation of a securities company whose interests are paramount, and it is only for its own sake in times of crisis. Safety and refusal to help others, etc., the analysis and presentation of human nature at a glance. In the end, only pregnant women and little girls survived, which also represents a kind of hope, new life and faith.
On the other hand, "Please Call Me a Hero" focuses more on personal growth and ideological transformation from beginning to end. The protagonist is called Hero Suzuki, and he is an out-and-out loser in life. Unusable assistant. God only gave him two skills, one is the painting talent that he has persisted until now and won the Newcomer Award many years ago, and the other is the shooting skill that he kept practicing and finally obtained the gun certificate. The former was supposed to let him eat without worry in a peaceful and prosperous world, but he used the latter to turn evil into good fortune in a zombie siege.
He has learned nothing, and his hobbies are unintentional. This is actually a satire of society, but his performance is extremely small. When he used a way of daydreaming at the beginning to express his pursuit of the comics business, people saw the most from the society. The ideals at the bottom are lofty.
Hero Suzuki wanted to draw a story about a gunman and put his hobbies and careers together, but unfortunately he was not recognized by the publisher, but he made himself a character in the comics in the zombie-infested world, saving him Two mistresses.
It is worth mentioning that Masami Nagasawa defied the traditional image and played a brave and kind-hearted female man. On the other hand, looking at her current "Deception in the World jp", she is somewhat uncomfortable. It turns out that sesame sauce is also a variety of types, from pure to goddess to female man, female nerve, can be controlled with flesh and blood. In the movie, sesame sauce covered in blood interprets the characteristics of Japanese horror movies, blood and headshots are nothing but elusive.
The fly in the ointment is that Arimura Kasumi, who should be the first female lead, is quiet like a flower, releasing her weak, pitiful and helpless temperament. Although this has also become the key to the awakening of the male protagonist, but the second half Is it really good to sleep the whole time? If you really want to sleep, the village flower can also find a bed! I still miss the quirky village flower in "The Spice Girl at the Bottom", inspirational but not pretentious, cute and lively.
Of course, the setting of this movie about the awakening of human nature is still very good. There is never a threshold for the transformation from a loser to a hero. Many times, insisting on doing one thing can make you realize your ideal and reach the peak of life. It is the positive energy that the film conveys.
