zoMtopia-USA ver. #w4

         I am a susususuperfan of ZOMBIE movies. Why is it? It's because I love watching horror movies; however, they can't be too scary or too realistic. Also, I wouldn't be so afraid when watching bloody scenes than those movies full of jump scares. That's why zombie movies are considered my favorite kind of thrillers. To me, zombies are less likely to appear than supernatural phenomenons so I can watch them without worrying the incidents might happen one day.(I hope so) Therefore, my article today would be introducing some of the best and worst zombie movies to you. (I watched every single zombie movie and series on Netflix already.) (OOOOOH NOOOO I found that I couldn't finish many introductions again😑😐💀👯) (Very possible for me to do a second episode💁💨) 

I guess this will be the AMERICAN zombie movies version... 

(SPOILER ALERT)💅💥💥

1.World War Z (Brad Pitt) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

         This movie is considered the most classic one to me. It includes every necessary conditions. I have to say, simply escape from zombies wouldn't be the biggest attraction to me. What impresses me is its details and the differences with other zombie movies. World War Z contains A LOT shocking scenes. 

         Brad Pitt went to a place where the residents thought they would be safe if they were all surrounded by walls. When the residents let their guard down and used microphone in public, the zombies outside the walls started climbing up. As thousands and millions of them piled up, they climbed over within just a few minutes. At this moment, Brad Pitt's partner was bitten. Guess how he saved her life? HE USED A GUN TO SHOOT DOWN HER PALM IMMEDIATELY. After this incident, Brad Pitt accidentally discovered that the zombies avoid people that's UNHEALTHY or with SEVERE INJURIES. When Brad Pitt and his partner finally got on the plane to the WHO for the antidote, they found there was a zombie on the plane, which definitely ended up tragically. No matter what, Brad Pitt arrived at the center when he was told that the possible antidote were in building B, which is infected and full of zombies. As the main character, Brad Pitt went to the building alone wile others looked after him in the monitor. When he found the viruses and drugs, he was trapped in a situation where a zombie blocked his way out. This is when he decided to inject fatal virus into his own body as a protection. In a situation where he wasn't quite sure if he injected the right virus, he opened the door and let the zombie came near him. Surprisingly, the zombie walked straight passed him. Unlike how he hided and escaped when he trying to enter the building, he walked back to the center easily. One of the most famous scene was when a large group of zombies run toward him, and he held the antidotes in his hands and drank coke without a tiny sense of worry.

         Some may say it's a commercial-style movie, but even so, I would say it's definitely a significant one with perfect plots. With a well-knit plot, you would not even feel a sense of boredom. I would watch it again and again no matter how many times it is played on TV.

2. I am Legend (Will Smith) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

        If you were the very last survivor in Earth, would you consider yourself as the last grace of God, or a curse? 

        Will Smith was one of the very few human beings who survived a serious infectious outbreak. He lived with his dog for many years--all alone in the city. Besides them, there were many zombies hiding in the dark. What's so special about this movie? Apart from other movies, the zombies in this movie could run in a high speed, had the ability to think, and they hide in the darkness. Being naturally immune to this zombie virus, Will Smith continued to dedicate himself into producing antidote. His vaccines could be the very last hope for the human beings. When finding out his antidote could have worked out, he setup a trap to capture a zombie for experiment. That was when his bad story begins. He caught a female zombie in a chase, and it turned out that the female zombie was an important figure of the zombies. Besides doing researches, he also sent out messages through radio to look for other survivors. The most devastated part was in a chase, Will Smith lost his last and only family--his dog. When he lost his beloved partner, he decided to face the zombies and commit a suicide. He was overwhelmed and painful when a woman and her son came to him. The mother and child gave him the hope to live again; also, they told him that there was a group of survivors who built up a safe zone to live. At last, Will Smith's experiment worked. Yet, here came their biggest challenge with the zombies. In this very last fight, the zombies invaded into his home, and there was no way out. At last, Will Smith decided to give the antidote to the mother, and hide her and her son into the chimney. In order to save them from the chase of the zombies, he detonated his house. In other words, he sacrificed for the humans. 

         Because I wrote story in a relatively unappealing way, so I couldn't really demonstrate how good the movie is...😭😭Still, "I'm Legend" is a very interesting story full of excitements and dramatic tensions. 😇Also, I found that there seems to be a sequel with different ending, which is a good one.

3. Black Summer (Doesn't matter) 👎

          I have to say, this series is a quite distant memory right now because it was way too lengthy and boring to finish and memorize. I couldn't finish it because it wasn't even talking about zombies anymore. I definitely agree on the thought that all zombie movies portray on human nature, but this was WAY TOO MUCH. (I couldn't even recall its plot.)

4. The Dead Don't Die (Doesn't matter) 👎👎👎

         THIS IS DEFINITELY THE WORST ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN. This is the most confusing movie. :)... In this movie, the director repeated three times in shooting how three different people's reaction when seeing a zombie eating up someone's organs. And this movie ended up having an alien???????? However, if you want to have a really really bad start or ridiculous one for zombie movies, this is indeed a perfect decision!😊👌

          I guess I'll do a Korean version next time... What's interesting is that although the best zombie movies (to me) are from America, those from Korea definitely have another really high level on creating the entire and complete images on zombies and the portrayal of human nature.
