The movie "Shaun of the Zombies" is the most humorous and funny zombie film I have ever seen, it never deliberately creates a horror and depressing atmosphere, and always throws you a humorous moment when things are very tense, so that you can relax a little. But the purpose of these jokes is not simple, and if you think about it carefully, you will find a metaphor in it.
29-year-old Sean is an ordinary home appliance shopping guide, mixed with his friend Pete every day, the work is not smooth, the emotions are not smooth, the daily life is three points and a line, home - unit - bar, the future life can also be seen at a glance.
And a zombie invasion makes a ripple in his life, family and friends under his leadership to resist zombies, and finally only Sean and his lover are left, the government rushes to the rescue, and the final ending is dramatic: humans and zombies live happily together, and Sean and Pete, who has become a zombie, continue to play games in the house.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >, each of us is a zombie</h1>
Sean in the film, every day life is similar and boring, at home with roommate Pete play games, then go to work during the day, and go to the bar with Pitt after work in the evening to spend time. Dating his girlfriend countless times because of his ramblings, not maintaining a relationship with his mother very often, and all aspects of life are terrible.
Occasionally under the stimulation of the outside world to break through this state, but frequent mistakes, once had a dream of being a DJ, the family collected a lot of records, but there are dreams without effort, dreams are gradually consumed by time.
Sean is not only passive and sluggish about his own life, but also indifferent to the surrounding environment, even numb to the surrounding zombies unresponsive, in the process of coming home from the bar, greeting the zombies without finding abnormalities, the TV has news about zombies but deaf, until the zombies break into the house to understand what is happening, Sean's life is almost numb.
Let's look at the other person in the film, Sean's good friend Pete, who lives more like a zombie, completely unworkable, supported by the kindness of his good buddy Sean, and his daily activities are playing games at home and going to bars to spend time. He's like Shaun's completely brainless and numb side, and his only job is to persuade his friend Sean to indulge in the game with him.
This is actually the director's metaphor, a metaphor for us to live more and more like a zombie in a comfortable life, indulging in the same work life every day, depressed, no motivation, and every day's life is day after day, what time is a line. Becoming more and more numb to everything around him, less and less concerned about his own affairs.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, only dangerous situations give us the opportunity to reconcile</h1>
There is also a warm side to this movie, when the zombies come, Shawn and his stepfather, who did not have the opportunity to communicate, finally have a chance to sit together, the original Shaun hates his stepfather because he is rigid and serious, and he has not been very good since he was a child, so Shaun's first reaction when he heard that his stepfather was bitten was to kill him and prevent him from hurting his mother.
In the face of life and death adversity, the two finally have the opportunity to exchange their hearts together, and the stepfather finally said his thoughts, he just wanted to be a good father, wanted Shaun to follow his own example, play his potential, and did not want Shaun to sink in the sadness of losing his father. And Shaun, who heard his stepfather's heartfelt words before his death, finally understood his stepfather.
We all have a lot to say that we can't say, and only when it's all over will we have the courage to put our heads down and reach a reconciliation. In the comfortable life, no one opened his mouth, the real time of life and death came, but the reconciliation was too late.
Of course, the reconciliations in the film are not all tragic. The reconciliation of the male and female protagonists in the film finally ended with a happy ending. In his quiet life, Sean always messed things up, but he always had a girlfriend in his heart.
In the face of the zombie crisis, the first thing he thinks of is his girlfriend, and he also has the courage to risk his life to go to his girlfriend's house to save people. It is also this courage and courage that has stimulated Sean's potential and allowed his girlfriend to discover his advantages, and this young man is still reliable at key moments.
It can be said that the crisis solves the emotional problems between them, which is also a metaphor for the fact that you can't live a chaotic life every day, you have to change, and there will be a breakthrough to harvest happiness and get reconciliation.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, after the crisis, life still goes on</h1>
The ending zombies and humans live happily together, and this ending should be unique. Zombies and humans, the two live together, and there is no change from before, but there is one more "animal" zombie in the world, more zombie pets, and the friends who play the game have changed from human Pete to zombie Pete.
Nothing seems to have changed. Everyone is back to the original state of ease and peace, no desire and no demand.
This seems interesting, but in fact it is full of irony, no matter how big a disaster has occurred, but the days in people's eyes are still the original days, how to live or how to live, the same life is still waiting for people.
The film is full of British humor and extremely ironic. There is no difference between us who have no ideas and live in comfort unchanged, and zombies who have no thoughts and rely on instinct to carry out activities, and we have the opportunity to grow if we have pursuits and actions, or when we encounter adversity.
