1985 "Mr. Zombie", a brief discussion on Chinese zombies

I saw 1:30....a zombie movie with a strong Chinese style. I have watched a lot of foreign zombie movies, and I look back at my own works, and they are not inferior at all. It seems that I will follow Jiu Shu's movies in the future. The most attractive thing about this film is that it briefly introduces the basic theory of Chinese zombies, which is quite different from the Western zombie theory that I have accepted, so I will briefly explain it here.

According to Max's discussion in "Apocalypse Survival Guide", there are two types of zombies, namely virus zombies and voodoo zombies. The theoretical basis of virus zombies is that the Soranian virus invades the human brain, transforms the brain into a new organ that has no thinking ability and can only eat people, and dominates the dead body. It is easy to understand this and other things. For example, why the only trick to hitting a zombie is headshot: why the body of the zombie is soft and easy to hit: why the zombie is unconscious no matter how long it is taken... Because of this Zombies can provide blood that everyone likes, so virus zombies are the most popular type in the world. As for voodoo zombies, they are corpses summoned by a man-made spell. Depending on the spell, their ability to think and act is also different. The corpse-driven corpse popular in Jiangxi belongs to this category. Voodoo zombies are generally used to help the magician to do things, but when it comes to doing things, he is not invisible to the naked eye like the head-and-belly boy god of the southeastern descendant, so he can be scary in the magic world. , an embarrassing situation of incompetence.

The above is a brief introduction to the Western zombie theory.

However, Max ignores the Chinese zombies, or the mystery full of Chinese zombies is not accepted by rational cognition. Chinese zombies seem to have been wearing Qing Dynasty official hats, which is strange enough. The so-called formation principle of zombies, Uncle Jiu has an exquisite explanation: "People are divided into good people and bad people, and corpses are divided into zombies and corpses. People become bad people because they are not good enough, and corpses become zombies because they have more breath. Pissed off, sullen, angry until he dies, he will have a breath in his throat. The most important thing for a person to die is to cut off his breath, and if he is dead, he will harm others and himself." It seems that zombies refer to the corpse returning to the soul, but it is more than that. If you want to fully understand zombies, you must consider corpse poison, which is somewhat similar to virus zombies, but has a different impact. According to my arrangement, the logical inferences are listed as follows: The corpse virus is produced in the "unexpired" corpse, which is a blood-infected virus. It has the effect of coagulating blood, stiffening the body, lengthening the nails and teeth, plus the effect of corpse poison (?). In this way, a series of characteristics such as why zombies can only jump and not bend over can be explained. Fortunately, the incubation period of corpse poison is very long. It takes ten or twenty years for dead corpses, and it takes several days for normal people, and there are ways to save them: such as continuous movement (accelerating blood circulation and not coagulating) , such as eating glutinous rice, washing glutinous rice soup (to remove evil). Unlike the sora virus, there is no cure, and within 24 hours, you will be happily eating and taking care of your mother.

It seems that zombies are also a kind of virus zombies, but there are still many differences. For example, the two perceive strangers differently. Because the eyes of the zombies rot rapidly, they are very sensitive to hearing and smell like blind people (the brain has become a new organ, and the rest of the body has no sense). In addition, the zombies seem to be driven by a mysterious force, which can gather towards a large number of living people. direction forward. But zombies are like corpses without any perception (as if they have hearing?), they seem to be able to feel the breath of people when they are looking for people, so when encountering zombies, please hold your breath and run away quietly.

But the biggest difference between the two is the workaround. The driving core of virus zombies lies in the new organs of the brain, so the only way to solve it is to shoot the head, whether you use a gun or according to Max's introduction, pierce the iron pipe into the zombie's eyes directly into the skull, and then stir it up. The final cremation removes the virus. Killing zombies is fun, hacking is probably useless, beheading should work, but it's a rude method. Let's be professional, wrap your home around glutinous rice (raw!) and you'll be able to build a decent flat defense system. Chicken blood and ink are mixed and applied to the ink fountain line, and the zombies will be bounced off when they touch it. This object can be used not only to build a three-dimensional defense system, but also to be used in sports warfare, such as three people cooperate to carry out a slingshot-like attack. In addition, using this type of ink bucket to tie the zombies, the zombies will not tremble and keep moaning, but they will not be able to move (it's really boring). There is also a trick that everyone is familiar with, that is, sticking a talisman on the head. It's a pity that this is very difficult. It requires professional people to use professional spells and professional techniques, otherwise your hands will be eaten. Of course, there is an easy way, that is to use your own blood to drip on the talisman, and then stick it on the zombie's head. But there are two problems: First, your blood may not be sticky enough. At this time, people with high blood lipids have an advantage. Second, this blood does not exist because it exists. At this time, I hope everyone can be ruthless and calm. You will not be able to move until the zombies don't move. Women may have an advantage in this segment, and if you're lucky, you all know what I mean. The last point to be reminded is that you can't open the window and fan the air conditioner at the scene of the corpse drop by this method, because the talisman is easily blown down, but if it is a field battle, you can't ask for so much.

Judging from the differences in the solutions, Chinese zombies seem to have the characteristics of voodoo zombies, so I personally tend to think that Chinese zombies are virus zombies with a voodoo temperament. Don't look at the name as it seems to be very powerful. In fact, the longer the name, the more weaknesses. This is why there have been several zombie disasters in history, but I have never heard of zombie disasters.

After writing this, I suddenly remembered that it is said that there is another way to defend against zombies, which is to lie on the ground, because zombies can't bend over, so they can only jump helplessly at you. This method sounds good, but there's no guarantee that it won't jump on you and beat you until you vomit blood and die. But you can also take the opportunity to fall it down, so it can climb up... It remains to be tested in practice.

Writing and writing is more and more like a paper, then list a reference material, and those who are interested can read and watch
