"Shaun of Zombies" is a successful commercial film, with big-name cameos, a bit of a Christmas and New Year's family carnival, and finally the prince and princess live happily together. It's just that the castle story has been replaced with a zombie theme, and the fairy tale has added dark humor. The prince wasn't a prince in the first place, just an embarrassed dick guy, and all he liked was playing games with good buddies in the house and drinking beer at the same Winchester pub. When the embarrassing situation becomes worse, a game, a midnight carnival, may extend the regret. It is difficult to say whether this zombie incident is an ideal computer game for Sean and his friend Ed. look like?
Quick edits, pan shots, long shots tracking Sean, the boy playing soccer every morning and the homeless man walking his dog on a British block. The use of mirrors creates a sense of terror, collective unconscious movement, daily commuting, the same block, the same convenience store and neighbors, the same route every day, these people are basically the same every day. Sean goes to the convenience store every morning to buy coke or cutie. The level of familiarity with each other has become a collective unconscious, nothing is new, and what can attract Sean's attention may be passers-by who suddenly fall down, strange homeless people on the lawn. And all this happened before the zombie outbreak.
Sean, 29, faces triple pressure from parents, girlfriends, friends, and his own job, working with young people at an appliance company and experiencing what it's like to be ridiculed and ageist. Just like Sean's red water-based pen, the red ink leaked from the chest pocket, which was embarrassing.
Parents complained that their son Sean didn't visit them, and his girlfriend didn't think Sean was a good boyfriend and basically didn't take her to restaurants other than Winchester pubs. Sean's friend Ed is evidence that his girlfriend and roommate think that Sean is not aggressive. Why can't they get rid of Ed, who only knows how to play games and eat and drink? The roommate told Sean that Ed would only hold him back.
On a normal day, Sean went out to work, visited his parents, and failed a date with his girlfriend at a restaurant outside Winchester at the same time. Nothing was different. Just follow Sean's daily action line, or in other words, on this day , The problems between parents and girlfriend finally came to light, the girlfriend couldn't bear it anymore, and Sean didn't visit his parents as promised. In short, nothing worse.
At this time, Ed became the constant partner. Of course, his solution was to go to Winchester for a few more drinks with Sean, and go home and dance all night.
The movie "Shaun of Zombies" itself is like the story in which Sean and Ed go home to play discs and dance, giving people joy. Under the premise of irreversible regrets, they have a dream carnival as an extension and imagination of regret and bad life . That night, Sean heard the phone messages from his girlfriend and mother the day before, and immediately picked up a pen to write a memo on the refrigerator, like a wish. At this point in the story, many versions of Sean can be developed, Sean who worked hard to fight against the grassroots, Sean who gave up on himself, Sean who began to engage in scientific research and how to torture young people.
Zombie Sean is an excellent version of Sean, because he and Ed both like to play games, and the games of fighting zombies and zombie escape are human-like. In the zombie game, he has become the most ideal self. The Winchester Bar is the base camp. Using all the methods that he is familiar with and good at, even the absurdity has played a role. He has become the protagonist and is valued and expected by everyone. Re-establishing trust with his girlfriend and becoming a cool man in the eyes of his friends, the prince finally raised his eyebrows.
During the zombie escape process, Sean, as the temporary leader, organized everyone to go to the Winchester bar together. On the way, he met another escape group and went the opposite route. The captain of this other group was the old man who used to be Sean. Friends, Sean and her hug each other at the intersection and cherish each other. It was like meeting a similar player in the game, and the breath of you are not alone came to my face. Sean and his old friend released their hugs and wished each other all the best.
Between Sean and Ed, it can be explained by love. Ed is already useless, he can only play games, and Sean is still there, taking good care of him. Ed is aware of it. Even if he is cynical and insensitive to life, he will stop and say a few words to Sean, or be gentle. Everything Ed revolted is only relieved in front of Sean. Sean and Ed cooperated in the zombie escape game, and finally staged a sensational scene where I cover you and run, the game hero was born, Ed smoked the last cigarette, and waved to Sean who rose and left Say goodbye.
At the end of the story, Sean and his girlfriend lived happily together. Before drinking morning tea, Sean came to the backyard. He opened the storage room and started playing games with the zombie Ed who was locked inside. Zombie Shaun lives an ideal life.
