Micron is serious
Today I would like to recommend a dark humorous movie: "Shaun of Zombies".
It takes this type of zombie horror film as a joke, with no satirical comedy effect, and the storyline is absurd and bizarre, but with a simple warmth.
"Shaun of Zombies" stood out from many zombie films and won the 31st Saturn Award in 2005 - Best Horror Movie Award.
The film tells the story of the protagonist Sean (Simon Pegg), a 29-year-old who is still inactive in his career, and his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) gradually loses confidence in him and decides to end the relationship.
Sean lives with two of his best friends, Ed (Nick Foster) and Pete (Pete Sarafenwitz). Ed is a less aggressive guy than Sean, playing games all day long; and Pete is a tantrum person who doesn't like Ed who doesn't do anything.
When I saw the title of the film, I thought the protagonist Sean was a zombie, but he was one of the survivors of the town after defeating the zombies. When I watched the film a little bit, I realized that Sean Zombie did not mean Sean alone, but a group of people, who exuded a "zombie" atmosphere from the inside out.
In addition to the body's instinctive response to things, what is the difference between everyone and a zombie driven by instinct under the chain?
There is no passion for life and work, and the inherent thinking mode restricts their actions. He is obviously a human, but he lives in this city like a zombie.
This should also be a metaphorical irony by the film director, revealing these unhealthy status quo in life.
When Sean decided to get rid of these bad habits, and it seemed that everything was going in a good direction, a large wave of zombies poured into the town for unknown reasons, and if they were bitten by them, they would also turn into man-eating zombies. .
At this time, it is time for the little characters to play a big role, and the plot also reaches its climax. Shawn, worried about the comfort of his mother Barbara and girlfriend Liz, devised a rescue plan he thought was perfect.
After a series of hilarious escape and self-rescue clips, the film developed into a real comedy and warm film. The funny pictures can make you laugh, and the emotional description can also bring a touch of warmth.
Sean has always dreamed of being a DJ, so he collected a lot of records, and at this time they are using those records to throw zombies, anyway, you cut a dead head off, the key is that you didn't lose one, and no one !
Play as a group of zombies, and you can enter the bar smoothly in one autumn! Wait for the funny clip. There are also various funny actions, such as Sean wanting to cross the low wall handsomely, but he fell and ate shit.
Meanwhile, while on the run, he learns the love of his serious, unsmiling stepfather and mother, Barbara.
The boyfriend who hates the heroine's best friend in the film, a scumbag who pretends to be dating the heroine's best friend, but thinks of the heroine in his heart. Especially in the face of Sean's mother's selfishness in transforming zombies, it exposes the ugly face of human nature in the face of life and death interests.
Thank god he was finally dismembered!
After a fierce battle, only Sean and Liz survived.
Through this experience, Sean has learned the value of life, but also the value of family, friends and loved ones. But Sean didn't change anything.
Sean enjoys this kind of life quite a bit, and holds the beauty back. And his friend Ed, although he became a zombie, the two still play games together every day, the only difference is that Ed is locked.
Very loving isn't it!
In the end, you will find that the town that was washed by zombies is still the same, the boring people continue to be boring, the mediocre people are still mediocre, everything returns to peace, but the zombies have become a part of life.
Human beings are divided into two categories in the film, one is zombies like Ed, who are dead from body to heart, and all actions are based on the most primitive instinct; one is like Sean, who are They are alive, but their actions are dead, and their thinking remains at the level of zombies.
The two are in stark contrast, yet merge with each other. I think this is what the film finally wants to present to everyone through dark humor! A lovely movie, isn't it? !
