The Earth As We Knew It s Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was published in the news, suddenly to become a cult and gathering a large audience of fans. The first season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his face to face horror movies, renowned for his highly successful screen adaptations of Stephen King's novels. Despite the fact that Darabont subsequently left the project, "The Walking Dead" always stayed afloat, changing showrunners, but without losing this company atmosphere, even when each season was distinguished by their own special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the very first season attracted in excess of 5 million viewers with the screens, and the season itself received an exceptionally warm welcome and ideal reviews, including from professional critics. The plot with the series revolves around the storyline of former officer Rick Grimes, who wakes up within a hospital in the course of a zombie apocalypse and efforts to find his family and survive in the industry of the revived dead. Over time, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving along the northeastern from the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the 1st viewing, the series leaves the sense of a project that sets a new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even the most used film franchise rolling around in its genre "Resident Evil", certainly, not in human eye lighting tricks, playing with how much elaboration on the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already because they are certainly not merely another shooter, with a ridiculous script and characters written "for their knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as they say, "shoot" for the very same reason as the "Bet on Thrones" released annually later. In the course of the release on the last bright fantasy of the degree of "The Lord on the Rings" there was practically no, along with the series, conveniently occupying a vacant niche, was a cult. So might be zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, yet not in quality; few films on this genre can easily pleasantly surprise, for a lot of them stereotyped and mediocrity are quite characteristic, while "Walking" is manufactured modestly, but taste. The project does not require the celebrities of the initial magnitude, and a lot of actors, not so, came into common use because of their roles in The Walking Dead. Your budget, apparently, doesn't allow relying on expensive computer graphics, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is usually completely banal - value your loved ones and never substitute. It appears that there isn't anything special to hook the viewer with, but all this is certainly forgiven and is completely worth it with interest, with thanks to the mesmerizing atmosphere in the post-apocalypse, captivating from the very first minutes of viewing.
Age rating of the project "18+" speaks for itself - blood, meat, the style of dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; hardly any episode is done without murders by survivors or walkers, but that isn't why the fans love the series. Although when you're beginning, The Walking Dead is simply a crimson jackpot, but should you dig deeper, evidently the ominous zombie apocalypse is just the scenery against which the primary story develops. The storyplot of survivors fighting to preserve the most important human values, like love, friendship, family. The story of methods difficult it is to remain humane and human in inhuman conditions. And, apparently, it turned out these ideas that inspired last year's South Korean thriller Train to Busan, which managed to observe a hackneyed topic from an alternative angle and tell a touching story on the zombie horror, adding some soulfulness. To ensure the series itself, with all the bloodshed abundance, is no adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the principle of "run and shoot", where such a perception will interest only youth and, first of all, adolescents. Here, an excellent part of the screen time is about the disclosure of characters along with reincarnations, the partnership totally and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places inside script, at the same time commemorate it clear to us there's little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this is the severe test of strength, where you cannot find any place for any weak, where even one of many living - just like among wolves.
However, you will find a second side to this medal, behind which, obviously, lies most significant weaknesses in the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama towards the detriment of your drive and tense atmosphere is the series look bland, dragging on only every once in awhile, making the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, a defieicency of freshness of the planet, linked to the monotony with the setting as well as monotony in the scenery. Coupled with the unhurried progression of events, this makes some disappointment, considering that the series, flashing brightly at the start and setting a very good pace, ceases to maintain it to remain, rarely returning to actually stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely is not going to let you get bored could be the many colorful and deep characters.
