Now zombie-themed movies can completely become a genre film independently. Zombie films have two elements of horror and disaster.
The terrifying shapes and bloody bites of zombies make zombie films more entertaining than traditional disaster films.
As a masterpiece of a zombie film, "28 Days Changed" follows and surpasses the traditional storyline, and the theme of the film is inclined to the discussion of human nature. After the audience watched it, it was like tasting a cup of high-quality green tea, and then they were happy.
Danny Boyle (Danny Bauer) is a director with a very prominent style, and his works often make people think deeply. In recent years, his "127 Hours" and "Slumdog Millionaire" are my favorite movies.
The plot at the beginning of "28 Days Shocked" had to surprise me. It turns out that the plot of "The Walking Dead" is completely a replica of "28 Days Shocked", or an extended TV series version. The male protagonist was in a coma for a month in the hospital. When he woke up, the world had undergone great changes. There were few people and zombies were rampant. The bustling and noisy city fell into silence again. As night fell, there was an eerie silence and the smell of death everywhere. That kind of strong contrast shock is terrifyingly shocking.
The most different place between "Shock" and "Xing" is the type of zombies. The zombies in "Xing" move very slowly, the group is dispatched, the explosiveness of the attack is not so strong, the face is festering, and there are many frontal shots; the zombies in "Shock" are violent and fast, with super aggressiveness, and the number of attacks is small. , the face is complete, and the lens image is relatively small. Zombies are different, so the focus of the movie has changed. In "Shock", there is less focus on zombies, and the focus is on people's desires and the performance of good and evil in the apocalyptic environment.
In the past, the main theme of disaster movies was how human beings find a way to escape in the face of disasters, and how to reflect the greatness and ugliness of human nature in the process of escaping. In this film, Danny Boyle further deepens this connotation, and through some details, he excavates the desires and good and evil at the bottom of human nature to the audience.
In the film, the hero Jim, the heroine Selena, the loving father Frank and the soldiers represent four typical human characteristics.
Father Frank is the embodiment of human kindness. Whether it’s taking in Jim and Selena who were hunted by zombies at home, or taking care of their young daughter, guarding sleep in the wilderness, or even leaving a credit card after sweeping goods in an unmanned supermarket, all kinds of details can be Show off the good character in human nature.
The heroine Selena is the representative of a sensible good person. She ruthlessly hacked to death her infected companions, stated that survival is the first priority, and clearly understood the sinister nature of human nature in a disaster environment, all of which illustrate her rationality. But when it comes to the real difficulties, it can be seen from the details of her protecting the little girl and saving Jim that she is a good person at heart.
The male protagonist Jim used to be a good guy, but he started to break out after slowly experiencing the sinister nature of human nature. The transformation from weak to strong tends to be more lethal. At the end of the film, he wiped out the entire military squad by himself, which proves that people's fighting emotions are more important than fighting skills.
That military squad in the apocalypse has changed from the image of human rescuers in ordinary movies to a group of beasts who indulge their desires. Disasters make human society lose its laws and rules, and the ugly side of human nature cannot be restrained, and people with sinister hearts will exude animal-like bestiality.
Therefore, in the beginning of human beings, nature is both good and evil. Those who are good are humans; those who are evil are animals.
