Zombie Shaun: About Courage, Love and Responsibility I didn't expect to see this prestigious horror movie now, no, it's better to say a zombie movie. Once again, I experienced the unique British black humor of the film. It is precisely because of this sense of humor that this zombie film is not scary, but has an almost romantic doomsday heroism. The protagonist, Sean, is a manager of a car sales company. Because he is old and has no outstanding performance, he is despised by the younger generation of the company. His girlfriend failed because of his negligent relationship. Because his stepfather was strict with him since he was a child, he hated his stepfather. Because of this, there is a lot of estrangement with his mother, and he always feels that his mother should be as disgusted with his stepfather as he is. Such a character image can be easily fished all over the world, and I don't know how much. Therefore, Sean in the play is the most common person in our lives, even ourselves, so real that we seem to have known him very early. He is someone around us. But he is such a useless person. He values ​​friendship, love, loyalty, filial piety to his mother, and a sense of responsibility. Of course, these qualities are usually invisible. Only when there are zombies everywhere can he show these excellent qualities.

The zombies came, and the first thing he thought about was his mother, his ex-girlfriend, and his friends who couldn't bear to abandon him. The flowers he bought for his mother read: Give me an elegant lady, his feelings for his mother seem to be deeper than he thinks, and he instinctively rescues him at a critical juncture. He hates him to be a zombie and let him be justified The dead stepfather, it seems that he does not hate his stepfather as much as he imagined. The first person he wants to save the most is actually his ex-girlfriend. His feelings for his girlfriend surpass the understanding of his girlfriend and even the friends around him.

The light of a little man, in love and duty, makes him shine and makes him look like a hero.

The film is not overly tense and disturbing, but the kind of black humor that comes from real life can be seen everywhere, making you want to laugh but can't laugh, but it is very easy to poke you, and you feel willing to be in this black In humor, experience the loneliness and bravery of a cowardly male protagonist in the mundane life under the siege of zombies, the romance of being generous and brave for love, and serving zombies as bait to protect his companions. Lonely heroic feelings that have to be criticized by his peers.

The light of the little people shines brightly in the doomsday situation, which satisfies the heroic feelings in the hearts of ordinary people. The character setting is first and foremost.

The rotten zombie apocalypse, in a way of story completely different from the United States, unfolds in a humorous and humorous style without panic, giving people a chance to laugh comfortably.

This kind of expression and narrative skill is probably only found in British humor.

All in all good. Nice zombie movie.
