a carnival

Before the zombie invasion, people in the city worked and lived in an orderly manner. Ed is one of the Loser's "friends", playing games and selling marijuana... And because Sean has been protecting him, Pitt pointed out: "He has been dragging you down." Of course, behind the order, is boring, and step by step. Echoes the beginning of Liz's dissatisfaction with her unremarkable love life with Sean. The problem happened. And while Sean is immersed in the pain of lovelorn and drunkenly partying with Ed, the zombies invade. A carnival started. "To Winchester together" was something Liz hated. They all came to Winchester together to take refuge. In the process of escaping again, problems were solved one by one. Sean has gradually become responsible and responsible from the "wool" image at the beginning, and can lead people to escape... After Sean and Liz's emotional problems are also confirmed to be resolved. Zombies are also dealt with by "Goddess Soldiers". The carnival is over. The zombies were found to still have a certain original consciousness. The zombies have resumed their normal work and life.

Everything is the same as before.

This may be what people hoped for when the zombies invaded, but after experiencing this "doomsday", it is inevitable that people will feel a subtle sense of fear. A step-by-step, boring life, its inertia is terrifying. It seems like a bunch of logical worlds composed of codes and programs, suddenly there is a bug, and it enters a "virus". Although it causes some confusion, it has been repaired, restarted, and strengthened. (Don't think too big.)

The dark humor and echoes have been pointed out one by one, and will not be repeated.

It is worth mentioning that there is a detail in the film. The clip of Sean getting up and standing barefoot on the bathrobe is repeated over and over again, and every time he sees it, people always mistake it for a "zombie". Answered the "Zombie Shaun" question. It's ironic. Perhaps, all order is the "abnormal" "zombie". A step-by-step, boring life, no goals and no passion, just numb work...
