Rules No. 32 Enjoy the little things

It feels different from the traditional zombie movies. What I like is mostly straightforward violence, except for the black humor of "Shaun Zombie". Maybe there are some eschatological complexes.

I just happened to watch "Eating Snapper Makes Me Hiccup" written by the lead actor Jesse Eisenberg before, and I feel that the little boy in the book may be the model of the person in this movie, thin and quiet, and a literary dead house. The whole movie is also permeated with black humor, and if you are familiar with British and American culture, you should find a lot of laughs and grooves. Although in the end I couldn't stand the theme inexplicably sublimating into the "Family" that Westerners have always liked, this movie can still bring people a relaxed smile.

The most impressive thing is of course the last zombie battle royale in the amusement park. Under the bright and gorgeous lights, there are bloody and hideous faces; the brisk and lively music is mixed with crisp gunfire. In fact, there are no zombies, isn't it always like this in this world. So just like Article 32 of the Law of Survival says, enjoy the little things in life, maybe the next one to become a zombie is you and me.

About "Apocalypse Complex" (from Baidu)

Western humanism mainly advocates the harmony between ideological emancipation and free personality, and emphasizes the role and status of human beings, as well as the worldview and ideology of the role. This kind of thought is constantly instilled into people's minds. It is these values ​​that affect Westerners. Although the supremacy of individualism is considered to be a negative treatment of social integration and development in some fields, it is undeniable that the ability to correctly understand society and criticize social reality also follows. , Using rational thinking to constantly compare the current development with the ideal development. When the contradiction between the two parties accumulates to a certain stage, those alienated revelations and criticisms are transformed into a catharsis of nature, expressing dissatisfaction in the heart in a fantasy world, and using the power of nature to destroy this opposition The world is finally being rebuilt under the sunshine of hope. In general, the eschatological complex in Western movies is a positive criticism of society, and it is the dream after perfectionists weaving.
