Survival or destruction, that's the question. —Shakespeare
When we become indifferent and all thoughts are gray, we can never see the good. When human beings turn into zombies, there are many things that become indifferent to them, monotonous, desperate repetition day after day.
Surrounded by bloody and decaying fellow beings, wandering around, sleepless at night, painless and loveless, wandering in hell, nowhere to be reborn.
His name was R, and that was the name she gave him. He had forgotten everything about his "lifetime" .
But he also has his own perception and thinking, and he feels that the world in front of him should not be like this. Bone skins and zombies, roaming unscrupulously, looking for prey, gluttonous hearts and brain plasma.
He had just gone from being a human to a zombie, and he couldn't imagine that he would eventually change into the terrible and disgusting face of "bone skin".
He's been struggling and wants to do something to change.
However, he could not predict when this nightmare would end.
Putting aside this biochemical crisis, we should understand that any degree of natural and man-made disasters, as long as the seeds of fear and despair that cannot be removed are planted in the heart, then the result will be unavoidable destruction and harm.
The spread of any kind of fear in human nature will make people lose their warmth and stage infinite tragedies.
No matter how absurd and perverted or dramatic the way disasters and doomsday come, the light of human nature that remains can still make people discover love and hope in a huge dark crisis.
The light that shines on the zombies begins when the heroine Julie breaks into the world of the zombie hero.
In the face of the end of the virus, the world has lost its vitality, which is a terrible and desperate thing - the human side is poisoned, the darkness and evil go hand in hand, releasing the huge cold decay, crazy to occupy the world.
The human alien becomes an expressionless zombie, only opening the blood basin and roaring, devouring the same kind, allowing death to spread, and the human world gradually loses its temperature, becomes numb and dead.
Although the semi-zombies that have not yet been completely alienated are ugly, the immortality of humanity is the only straw they have left. Because they also have human memories and the perception of sadness, they can speak short words, and even have tears in their eyes.
As long as the heart still has residual temperature and does not completely lose its heartbeat, there is still hope of becoming a human being. Love and faith from the heart are always an unstoppable salvation.
Human beings' own miraculous bodily functions will respond to the stresses they deserve, and stress and intense emotions will make adrenaline stimulate the heart, make the heart beat faster, and inject excess oxygen into the muscles.
Zombies that have not yet fully mutated have the ability to heal themselves and the hope of being healed by "turning decay into magic".
In the face of the humanity shown by the zombie male protagonist, the human female protagonist praised and appreciated it. However, the male protagonist told the bloody truth because of the guilt of human nature - he killed her boyfriend in the "human corpse war" at the beginning of the film.
The heroine did not resent and blame, after all, she had expected it long ago. This is also the dark nature of a normal person who cannot escape after alienating into a zombie.
Julie marvels at R's belief in the honesty and persistence of resisting physical changes, and love gradually grows.
The wreckage of the living creatures flowing with blood after being injured is trapped in the abyss of decay. How desperate that bad feeling is, but still want to struggle to prove that you are a person.
When R thinks he's abandoned by Julie, he thinks desperately that maybe he should accept reality and be a numb zombie so he doesn't have to experience the feeling of heartbreak.
Thankfully, he stuck to his heart. With the help of an alliance of zombie friends, he ventures to the human world to find her.
If the awakened zombies want to help humans deal with the "bone skin", can they still build trust with their former counterparts? As a zombie, R tries to impress all human survivors, including the heroine's father, with his sincerity.
However, the tough father, as the leader of the human survivors, could not easily accept this group of mutated zombies as unrepentant demons.
R's hasty intrusion nearly killed him with a headshot.
The trust of the heroine and her partners in him, as well as the drastic changes that have taken place in his body again, gradually made everyone change their minds about him and eliminated the last wariness.
What the film wants to express is that when we exist as "people", if we continue to forget the meaning of living and those interesting joys and sorrows, and give up the struggle, at the moment when the end comes, you will never wake up again and become a real walking dead.
Zombies, losing the self-consciousness of "people", are slowly paralyzed by death, frozen by cold, and destroy their bodily functions. Perish in dead silence or become darkness itself, with which it plunders warmth and hope and extinguishes all light.
They eventually redeem themselves, and gradually restore this terrible apocalyptic world to its original form, full of trust and love again. The insensitive zombies begin to awaken and join humans against the "bone skin" that has long since been alienated into a skeleton, a group of evil beings that can no longer be redeemed.
The male protagonist was completely healed in the process of fighting side by side with the female protagonist and protecting each other, and after the female protagonist's kiss, the decaying body was transformed back into a living flesh and blood body. The gray pale color of death faded, the skin was restored to cleansing, and the eyes became clear.
The end of the film is so beautiful. R cherished the warmth and full happiness of the rest of his life, although he still did not remember the events of his life and his name.
But it doesn't matter if there are memories, what matters is to live in the moment and not be a walking corpse.
