after watching

"Shaun of Zombies", to be honest, I didn't dare to see it until I saw the word "comedy" on the movie label. Actually, this movie didn't bring me a lot of joy, it was more absurd, dark, and critical. The zombies in it are very "low-profile". Compared with professional horror movies, the process of fighting zombies is like playing hamsters in a playground, which is very "not serious". Of course, this is not a "serious" horror film. . The protagonist, Sean, is 29 years old and works as a TV salesman in a store. He is the only old man in charge of the store. His colleagues have a 17-year-old child. It can be said that his career is very ordinary. In terms of relationship, because of immutability, I don't know how to surprise my girlfriend, and I am on the verge of emotional breakdown. Love career double failure. What impressed me was Sean's unchanging state of life. Before and after the virus infection, in the two long shots in the movie, Sean walked to the convenience store near his home to buy things. The block was occupied by zombies, but he didn't realize it. Outside the camera, I was already clasping the pillow in my hand, worried for him, afraid that a camera change would cause a zombie to appear in front of him. This state of indifference, I found, I also have. If you don't care about the world and feel that it has nothing to do with yourself, you can hang up. Everyday life is dull, repetitive and repetitive. Loss of sense of purpose. I can't help laughing at this movie. I was thinking, what exactly is alive and what is the proof of being alive. Not that it's going to be huge, it's just that the feeling of powerlessness about life right now can feel very "walking dead".
