Zombie movie? Believe it or not, I don't.

Many people regard this as a zombie movie, and they also comment on the topic of "zombies" with thousands of words. Although most of them are well-organized and even have some scientific basis, data excerpts - these are suitable for the pages of The Walking Dead or Resident Evil, but I can't agree with saying that 28 Days is a zombie movie.

I have been addicted to watching SS movies recently. I not only looked for many movies to watch, but also read a very interesting document - "Zombie Outbreak Survival Manual". Although I'm not too interested in the "scientific explanation" part of it, I still have some impressions.

Zombies, commonly known as the living dead, literally - they are first and foremost dead, but unlike completely dead people, they don't move or need anything, and part of their brains operate under the action of viruses, dominating them. Working with the body and the senses.

The most effective way to kill an SS is to headshot and destroy the nerve center-because the virus that manipulates the brain is too powerful, even if you cut off their heads, their mouths will still produce a biting action.

Of course, if you want to leave an SS alone, see how long it will "die" - it can only be said that under suitable conditions, when the brain rots away, the SS will change from a living dead to a veritable dead person.

Infection with the virus starts with a living person. SS attacks living people. The virus is transmitted by saliva and blood. People infected with the virus will experience physical discomfort such as high fever and vomiting (different SS pieces may be deleted or added), and then die.

After a period of time after they died, the virus entered the brain, and the corpse would be resurrected and become a new member of SS.

- This is the crux of the matter. The virus in 28 days does not cause death, but only causes people to "rage" and has high attack power. (Mentioned at the beginning of the movie)

For example, the same out-of-control car, one was driven by the driver because a "gangster" killed the driver, this is SS; and the other is due to the driver's disease Now, suddenly lost his mind, mad, rampant, this is the infected person in 28 days.

In the subsequent plot, it was also shown that the infected person will become violent and bloodthirsty after 20 seconds. After attacking an uninfected object, he will not eat any part of the other party. After making sure the opponent is infected and rampaging, move on to the next target. (This is very different from the SS who gnawed people to pieces and is addicted to life and blood)


=========== The following is the difference between SS and the infected in this film (not Wordy, look here) ===========

1. SS is dead and "alive", a living dead; 28-day-infected people are living, just because they become angry after being infected with the virus and full of violence.

2. The only way to kill SS is headshot (destroy the central nervous system), because their whole body activities are dominated by the virus-infected brain; 28-day-infected people just need to kill them like a living person.

3. SS will eat some muscles and even organs of the attacked object (whether it is because of hunger or physical needs is another matter); 28-day infected person is only responsible for attack and infection (bite attack), completely No interest in cooking.

4. The speed of SS is somewhat slower than that of normal human beings. Depending on the degree of rot and defect of the limbs, it can be even slower. It is normal for a little girl who is staggering to run to catch up; the 28-day infected person walks like a fly, At least the top three in the school sports meeting could escape from their hands. (The male pig is a postman, and is supposed to be a typical example of agile body and good running, but it can't easily get rid of the infected person)

5. SS's eyes are white (or gray); 28-day-old eyes are red . (Some people may think this is a bit far-fetched - as long as the director is willing, the color of the eye can even be green. But I think from a scientific point of view, red is caused by congestion, SS is dead, and the blood does not flow. , it's weird to be congested)
