A lackluster Stockholm love

The mind-blowing plot is completely Stockholm development.

Love at first sight is still within the acceptable range; but the male protagonist has taken the initiative to eat his ex-boyfriend's brain in small amounts and many times! Well, he is a zombie is still within the range of my acceptance; it's just that the female protagonist guessed this fact, and even when the male protagonist directly confessed, she still didn't take a few minutes to change her camp, which really shocked me.

If you put aside the attractive settings of doomsday and zombies, what kind of story is this? The kidnapper (R) fell in love with the blonde girl from the bandit squad, brutally killed the blonde girl's boyfriend, and took the girl away from the kidnapper's lair. Finding a sense of security, the two spent some time together, and she began to rely on the kidnappers. Later that day, justice was ordered to punish the kidnappers. The girl saw that the kidnappers had no power to restrain the chickens, and her compassion overflowed: You don't know how good he is! He was the one who protected me! I hope you'll forgive him, he's actually a good guy.

This shows the clear development of Stockholm syndrome: fear → anticipation → meeting the minimum survival needs → empathy.

When I was young, I would probably have been moved, because I would unconsciously bring myself into the role of the heroine. There is a handsome and cute boy who is obsessed with you, and I can't refuse it. But now watching this kind of movie will consider the problem from the perspective of most people. The girl forgives the zombie, but why should the ex-boyfriend forgive? Why should other people who died in the mouth of zombies forgive? The world is not black and white, but hatred should not be forgotten, it is a matter of principle.

    Very interesting idea, turned into a great idea, and finally got a good execution. A zombie version of "Romeo and Juliet" (the heroine is called Julie, this guy is called R, are you embarrassed to admit it's called Romeo?), while adding the theme of contemporary teen movies.
