It's been three years since the COVID-19 pandemic, but the country is still well under control. Other countries will not say more, after all, the people of other countries want freedom, and their lives are not important. Hahaha...
So what would happen if the coronavirus were a zombie virus? First of all, when it was first discovered, urban control measures would be implemented, and at the same time, the army would be dispatched, and once the infected person was found, it would be killed immediately. There may be some social panic and chaos at first, but with the intensity of control and the patrolling of the army, zombie virus infection will not occur on a large scale. There will not be a world like the end of the world in the movie, the world of zombies. Zombie movies have weakened human force and social control measures. People like the United States who want to be free and lifeless will not march all day long against epidemic control and home isolation as they do now. They will consciously stay at home...
Next, I would like to recommend a few zombie-themed works to see what the end of the world will look like.
TOP1：
Resident Evil 1 was released in 2002 and directed by Paul Anderson.
Synopsis: In the Umbrera Company's lair, the hive's huge underground genetic research center, a deadly T virus breaks out and spreads rapidly. A supergiant computer that controlled and monitored the entire hive closed the entire center and killed all the staff trapped inside. A rescue team led by Alice, Ryan, and Matt arrives at the hive after receiving orders, and they must lead the task force to isolate the virus that has destroyed all the people in the hive. However, the team soon discovered that the staff had become terrifying zombies wandering inside the hive. As soon as people are bitten or scratched by them, they become infected and even immediately turn into zombies.
Reason for recommendation: As the first work of the "Resident Evil" series, it has a clear main line and a clear mission, which has laid a good foundation for the films in the later series. It not only shows us the surreal plot from the science fiction world, bringing visual conflict and psychological shock, but more importantly, its plot leads our thinking between "technology and human nature". This is the beginning of the end of the world.
TOP2：
I Am Legend is a 2007 apocalyptic sci-fi film directed by Francis Lawrence.
Synopsis: The film is mainly about the 2012, human beings are finally crushed by the virus, former military virologist Rob Nefer because of the natural antibodies in the body uninfected, and became the only survivor in New York City, and even once thought that he was the only surviving human being in the world. During the day, Robert took Sam (a shepherd) out in search of life-sustaining supplies, then went to the laboratory to do research and radio waves; at night, they locked themselves in a fortress-like building and watched the monsters "forage" in the streets of the city.
Reason for recommendation: This movie abandons the previous zombie movie mode of fierce fighting, dark pictures, bloody killing, and zombie movies under fixed thinking. Instead, it is based on the abandoned bustling empty city, abundant light and the regular daily life of the male protagonist, telling how a person can survive in the end times. Maybe that's what the end of the world looks like.
TOP3：
Busan Trip was released in South Korea in 2016 and directed by Yeon Sang-ho.
Synopsis: The film tells the story of a single father, Seok Woo, and his daughter Soo-an on a KTX high-speed train to Busan, where the zombie virus brought by a teenage girl begins to rage and spread, and the infected people accelerate their spread in the closed train. The crowd found that the infected could not open the doors themselves, only responded to sound and light energy, and in the face of the rampant spread of the virus and the flood of infected people, the people on the train fought back.
Recommended reason: When the end of the world comes, everyone is trying to live, in order to survive the definition of good and evil of human nature, the reflection on human nature, the protection of family affection, and the non-abandonment of friends are the themes to be told in "Busan Trip".
TOP4：
The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC Cable in 2010, was the first authentic zombie television series in television history. An American horror television series directed by Frank De la Bonte.
Synopsis: The show is mainly about the protagonist Rick, who is the deputy sheriff of a small town on the outskirts of Atlanta. While on official business, Rick was shot and seriously injured, and was rushed to a local hospital for rescue. When Rick wakes up, he finds that the hospital is empty, and outside the hospital is a mess. It turns out that during his coma, human beings are experiencing the catastrophe of the "zombie plague", and Rick not only experiences the tests of family, humanity and the original social norms on the way to find his family and meet new teammates, but also constantly finds himself in self-loss, and leads his teammates in the "refuge and escape" to survive in the society of zombies, and march towards a seemingly hopeless tomorrow.
Reason for recommendation: The Walking Dead series of American dramas has been released to the tenth season, and the last season will be broadcast in 2022. As the pioneering work of zombie TV series, whether it is the scene, picture, the image and scale of zombies, the interpretation of the zombie era is vividly reflected.
TOP5：
Zombie Nation premiered on Syfy TV in the United States in 2014. An American series of horror dramas directed by John Hyams.
Synopsis: The story describes that the zombie virus has invaded the United States for three years, and the country has completely become the world of zombies. A team of mortal heroes must escort Murphy, the only survivor of the zombie crisis, from New York to California, where the only functioning virus laboratory in the United States remains, and if a blood sample of the survivor can be obtained, it is possible to develop an antiviral vaccine. Before reaching their destination 3,000 miles away, they must cross the zombie-filled American continent. While the antibodies carried by this survivor are the last hope of humanity's survival, he hides a dark secret that can destroy everything.
Recommended reason: If you want to experience what the zombie apocalypse looks like, check out this show. The zombies here are not the same as the zombies in the walking dead, fast, fierce, brutal, and fast in transformation, and students who like heavy taste may wish to take a look.
