'Legion of the Living Dead' is a strong testament to the three-child policy

You see, zombies can give birth to babies, so why don't you hurry up and give birth to a third child? Do you want to surrender the future to zombies? (I'm really a little clever ghost who is hot.) The new crown pneumonia may have provided a lot of creative inspiration for Zha Dao, so that in the film zombie infection, city closure, thermometer gun, big cleaning, chain of trust... and a series of clips , all can correspond to reality. It seems to reflect the beginning of reality + classic slow motion, as well as a comprehensive upgrade of zombie IQ, people can't help but have expectations for Zha Dao as always: Realism into zombie movies? This time, I plan to bring private goods with me, what is the point of teasing and sarcasm? No, nothing, everything is packed with overly formalistic packaging. Every character in the group portrait play has characteristics but no soul, not even worthy of the word "tool person". In order to spend the whole time on the task, a giant baby daughter must be put in. The daughter's eyes are dull and coquettish, and she always thinks she is very sensible. She undertakes all the tasks of death in the team. I don't quite get it, why is there a giant baby stuffed into every entertainment film (as did Pacific Rim: Black Zone)? It’s not that it’s impossible, or that it’s impossible to talk about father-daughter love, but—is it okay for daughter control to end? Fortunately, Zha Dao was more or less aware of this problem, and let the male protagonist Scott try to smooth things out as much as possible: You can't take risks, but if you have to go, you must follow me closely and don't hurt other people, they also have family members . It's a pity that your daughter's actual actions really don't give you face. Although it is very inhuman to think this way, the feeling must be admitted: the people who don't deserve to die are dead, and they die very abruptly. Some people were infected to death, some people twisted their heads to kill... Forget it, I don't want to give an example. In short, the value of these so-called tool people's existence may be to show the diversity of human extinction, and it can be regarded as "death in place". Many scattered points derived, such as the pregnancy of zombies, the philosophical logic of the black brother, the tense process of the locksmith unlocking... In the end, they all turned into a kind of spectacle. let everyone quiet], and in fact I saw everyone still chatting, but it didn't affect him at all. So... what is "Legion of the Living Dead" filming, and what do you want to say? Expressing a senseless nihilism? Or show a great father-daughter relationship? If it's the former, "Xuanxuan Fang" is more nihilistic; if it's the latter, "Resident Evil 8" is more touching. Zha Dao's "Legion of the Living Dead" is stuck in an inappropriate and awkward position: divine lighting, scenery, noun setting, lack of resonant and deep discussion proposition, proud slow motion, To be synonymous with "procrastination". "Legion of the Living Dead" is certainly not bad, but it does have some failures.

(One last word, I still feel very distressed about zombies... Throughout the article, the biggest villains are humans. Not keeping promises, and possessing nuclear weapons, who is the vulnerable group?)
