It's Sean's fantasy

Ulises 2022-04-21 09:01:05

There has always been a hypothesis in the zombie I dare not say other films, this one must have been imagined by Sean.

His girlfriend broke up with him, and the age crisis started at the age of 29. His colleagues were disrespectful, and he was not happy in the family. We must emphasize stepfather. The only friend is a fat house, a loser in the standard secular sense.

After a zombie crisis, those who disrespected him all died, their parents died, and he became the leader. The girlfriend in the room admired him to death. Even if he was bitten and went out, he would play games with him in the warehouse at any time.

All this is not the obscenity of loser!

Of course this is a joke. The structure of the script is a very classic and simple narrative. Loser encounters a crisis in his life, and what difficulties have occurred. Loser solves these difficulties and finally returns with beauty.

Zombies are a great invention that can symbolize many of the shortcomings of modern civilization. Like the people in the front part of the bus have become the zombies of modern civilization. The only (probably) non-European face in the film is a shop owner who speaks broken English, which can also be seen from a postcolonial point of view

PS: I actually read "Black Bookstore" first. The brain supplement is that the confrontation between the two is the confrontation between the two bookstore owners in the parallel space.
