When you face the world, you are not only the ice cream after dinner in the eyes of others, but also your own blood. If this is life, then, facing the world alone, only the life of blood and ice cream is worth living, isn't it?

I have a strong taste and am obsessed with all zombie movies. At that time, I was also in the mentality of giving it a try. On the long way to find zombie movies, I found Zombie Sean, and simon pegg has also become a synonym for me looking for new movies to watch. . So, followed by the hot-blooded police detective. The protagonists face the world alone in a bunch of gags, which is the core content of these two films. After returning from the UK, the familiar British town scene and the wonderful British accent became a plus for me.

Today, I just learned that Shaun the Zombie, The Bloody Detective and the End of the World make up the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy. At the end of the world, drink until the sky is bright, and with drunken eyes, I watch the sun rise from the horizon, touch the alcohol that is rolling in my stomach, breathe the morning air, and feel the cool morning breeze blowing on my face that has been laughing all night. At that time, you began to forget the stubbornness in front of you, the piles of bad things in life waiting to be done, the endless journey to and from get off work, and the boxed lunch stuffed in your mouth. Don't be afraid of the cowardice in front of us, as long as we can drink to the end of the world.

However, thinking about the rising blood pressure, triglycerides, uric acid, transaminases, the beer is no longer cool, the fries are no longer so crisp, and the undercooked candy heart of the fried egg seems to be overshadowed, so we began to In the interval between work, I told myself to arrange a physical activity, and constantly reminded myself that life lies in exercise. When I saw some delicious and unhealthy food, I had to tell myself to be patient. So, are we all beginning to mature? In the past, the things that filled life suddenly disappeared, such as the once enthusiastic basketball, the night running around the college town, the barbecue, beer and seafood at night, and suddenly began to say no to those things that once made you happy.

Maybe, after many years, like the protagonists in the film, we will suddenly meet on a weekend to return to the nostalgic place with all nostalgic means, to do those crazy and unfinished things in the old days, to commemorate us Protruding belly, immobile body, the so-called beautiful youth in the past. Then, maybe we have to look forward to meeting people in this old place, use our faces to evoke memories of things that are right and wrong, and see children just like us still want to gear up and play a game with them on the court , and then they will go off the court and discuss it like we did in the past: that uncle, although he can't run, he has a good consciousness and shoots the ball accurately.

Then, these are our fantasies. Those unfamiliar faces in the bar are all memories that have been replaced by aliens, they have assimilated, they have been harmonious, they have been transformed, you are not sure if these people don't recognize you or you don't recognize these people . It's rare that you are still the same person you were back then, but the world no longer accepts you, and you can only be a loser in the eyes of others if you can't change. You still remember the self who, of course, drank 9 bars at the age of 17 and drank to the end of the world, but that self is no longer the one who can be so romantic that a girl can go to the disabled toilet with you at any time. Are you still young? So, a bunch of protagonists still face the world alone in a funny way like the first two episodes, or if you are brainwashed by aliens or bitten by zombies, you will be more relaxed, and there is nothing wrong with you , However, if you let yourself follow this world, then whoever wants to watch your movie, if you want to be the protagonist of your movie, you still have to keep yourself a little special. Even if that special just wears a sloppy windbreaker, is ignorant of the world, and is bent on drinking to the end of the world.

Yes, face the world alone. Funny, serious and funny, you can't keep going forward, you can only stumble and walk towards the goal, but you are not chic at all, you must not be stylish, the onlookers are destined to point at you, this is the ice cream in the eyes of others , like a topic of entertainment after a meal, it is the dessert after a big meal. However, you face the world alone, running and wrestling, fighting hand to hand, watching your companions being swallowed by the world, to climb over fences, to rush across roads full of zombies, to cross fire lines, to cross the woods, holding your gun alone, Fighting on the enemy who seems to be unable to kill, marching forward in embarrassment, that is sweat, that is blood. When you face the world, you are not only the ice cream after dinner in the eyes of others, but also your own blood. If this is life, then, facing the world alone, only the life of blood and ice cream is worth living, isn't it?

Suddenly you miss the self who fantasized about drinking to the end of the world, or not many of us have the urge to do crazy things that haven't been done yet, but think about the blood and ice cream in your life , Forget the so-called meaning that others give you, forget the so-called correctness, the so-called success, your happiness is determined by yourself. Everyone is equally happy, isn't it like a world infected by a zombie virus? For me, there is blood, there is ice cream, I fail happily, and I fall, but all the way forward, there is a big world for me to face, instead of standing with this world, at least that's something to see , this kind of life is not bloody.

Don't be afraid of the cowardice in front of you, drink to the end of the world.
