The researcher becomes the researcher, the observer becomes the observed

A zombie movie that breaks through the busy zombie plots I've seen before.
It is not that human beings are struggling, seeking an antidote in exchange for a new life.
Instead, it went to the other extreme, another way we could not have imagined.
When Melanie came out of the lab, following her heart and defending her beloved teacher and sergeant, zombies here are no longer walking dead, but human beings with flesh and blood.
In the end, when Melanie set fire to kill the spores, she also followed her heart and won a chance for herself to survive. Here she is no longer the little girl, but a new human who calmly knows what she wants. She had struggled and thought about dedicating herself to the teacher and sergeant she loved, but she flinched when she heard that it was for the devotion of all mankind, she only cared about the people she cared about.
Pandora's Box and Schrödinger's Cat Theory appear in movies all the time.
Melanie released Pandora's box (burning dead spores), but left hope. The teacher is the one who teaches knowledge, teaching the knowledge of the new and the old, and spreading the fire of hope. This is the learning of the new species from the old species. The rise of new species has opened up a new era, and teachers are responsible for education. We all know she has no chance of getting out of the box.
Schrödinger's cat theory runs through, we don't know whether the cat in the box is alive or dead, the cat in the box in the early stage is Melanie, and the cat in the box in the later stage is the teacher. Is life or death 55 open. What do you think?

    Unpleasant character design, long and boring plot, not any type of movie with Wen Yifan can look good, especially this kind of scum film that exudes an inexplicable atmosphere from beginning to end

    Zombie movies, if you shoot something new, it's not bad

The Girl with All the Gifts quotes

  • Dr. Caroline Caldwell: [referring to the zombies] They gather in groups as they did in the base. We're not sure why.

    Melanie: They must be lonely.

    Sgt. Eddie Parks: [sarcastically] Oh... I hadn't though of that one.

  • Dr. Caroline Caldwell: In dissection it's very clear. The fungus is wrapped around your brain like, ivy around an oak tree.

    Melanie: But I can talk. I'm like you.

    Dr. Caroline Caldwell: You're not like anything that's ever existed before.
