Shaun of Zombies and one of my zombie dreams

It's a world full of zombies, you and I are together, and there are a lot of acquaintances. We walked through the streets, dodging chases and finally escaping to a house. You couldn't bear to tell me that you were bitten on the arm, and I couldn't accept the fact that you were going to leave me. I've been hugging you all the time, setting my heart on fire. I had to run away when you gave me the vicious look in your eyes. "Don't hand me the gun, don't! You can't even bully her!" I didn't make the same choice as Sean, I can't! Countless times, I rushed in front of you, and you looked at me straight, and when I relaxed a little bit, I would come over with one bite, and when I was fierce, it was still cute. I pressed your shoulders, you were a little frantic, I shouted your name, sometimes you would be startled, and then you still use your mouth to do things, dangerous but also ridiculous. They seem to have opened a bloody way, but I can't get away, I shouted: "Wake up, let's go together!" They pushed you away so far, I remember you were still laughing halfway, I was desperate, I wanted to follow you Go, let you bite, let you bite. It is such a scene, friends are lined up on both sides, you are dragging a zombie to me, and you are wondering why you don't bite so many normal people around? I lay on the ground like a sacrifice, and at that moment I felt the thrill of death. I keep calling your name even though you have touched my throat. It's like a movie, you regain consciousness at the last moment, you come to kiss me, we hug and cry, yes, the best movie ending I can imagine is two people hugging and crying. But the tear gate could not be closed, I cried and cried, and I woke up.

I have always felt that there is nothing that cannot be expressed, only poor language skills. "Shaun of Zombies" is my favorite comedy movie in recent years, but I couldn't find the right words to describe him until I had this strange dream. In this absurd dream, I almost copied Sean's experience. At the moment when the person closest to me was about to become a zombie, I suddenly realized that my extreme sadness was the biggest joke! The excellence of "Shaun of Zombies" does not lie in his joking subversion of the zombie theme, nor in Simon Paige's personal nonsensical interpretation, but in the true feelings expressed in it.

It may be a bit of a misnomer to praise a comedy and spoof movie with emotional authenticity, but it is precisely this point to evaluate the characteristics of "Shaun of Zombies" that are different from ordinary funny movies. The name "Zombie Sean" is a pun. In the normal world, Sean is like a zombie, but in the zombie world, Sean has humanity instead. Every day, Sean walks to get up with zombie steps, plays boring sparring games with boring buddies, eats boring breakfast, does boring work, talks boring things to boring colleagues, makes boring girlfriends, deals with boring stepfathers With my mom, everything is boring. But in the world of zombies, Sean suddenly regained his spirits. He was constantly escaping and hiding, and he was constantly retrieving the lost family. The laughing point is that every time one gets emotional, and then faces parting from life and death, the audience likes to watch this tortured fool. The harder he chooses, the more funny it is. The authenticity of emotions greatly enhances the comedy effect.

I experienced the emotion of life and death in the zombie world of my dreams. It was all outrageous, as outrageous as Shaun of Zombies, but I found the most reliable joy in a good comedy movie.
