The Earth As We Knew They Have Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was published a tv personality, suddenly becoming a cult and gathering a tremendous audience of fans. The very first season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his on the job horror movies, famous for his highly successful screen adaptations of Stephen King's novels. While Darabont subsequently left the project, "The Walking Dead" always stayed afloat, changing showrunners, but without losing the company atmosphere, even though each season was distinguished by its special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the first season attracted greater than 5 million viewers from the screens, and the season itself received an exceptionally warm welcome and ideal read reviews, including from professional critics. The plot from the series involves situation of former police Rick Grimes, who awakens in the hospital among a zombie apocalypse and attempts to find his family and survive in the world of the revived dead. As time passes, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving along side colonial of your United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the initial viewing, the series leaves the impression of a project that sets a brand-new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even typically the most popular film franchise included in the genre "Resident Evil", not surprisingly, not in the quality of lighting tricks, but in the condition of elaboration of your universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already because they aren't just another shooter, that has a ridiculous script and characters written "with their knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as the saying goes, "shoot" for the very same reason as being the "Bet on Thrones" released annually later. Before the production of your last bright fantasy of the amount of "The Lord with the Rings" clearly there was practically no, along with the series, conveniently occupying a vacant niche, was a cult. So can be zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, but is not in quality; few films of the genre are capable of pleasantly surprise, for the majority of them stereotyped and mediocrity are quite characteristic, while "Walking" is produced modestly, though taste. The project does not involve the stars of the first magnitude, and many actors, on the contrary, become popular as a result of their roles in The Walking Dead. This, apparently, would not allow relying on expensive tricks, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is normally completely banal - value your family members and do not substitute. It would seem that absolutely nothing is special to hook the viewer with, but all this is forgiven and settles with interest, because of the mesmerizing atmosphere of the post-apocalypse, captivating from the earliest minutes of viewing.
Age rating with the project "18+" speaks by itself - blood, meat, ugly dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; little episode is complete without murders by survivors or walkers, but this may not be why the fans love the series. Although when you're beginning, The Walking Dead is simply a crimson jackpot, but when you dig deeper, evidently , the ominous zombie apocalypse is simply the scenery against which the main story develops. The storyplot of survivors fighting to preserve the key human values, just like love, friendship, family. The tale of methods difficult it is always to remain humane and human in inhuman conditions. And, apparently, it was these ideas that inspired last year's South Korean thriller Train to Busan, which managed to see a hackneyed topic from another type of angle and tell a touching story of a zombie horror, adding a bit of soulfulness. So the series itself, because of 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 young people and, to start with, adolescents. Here, a fantastic portion of the screen time is committed to the disclosure of characters along with their reincarnations, the partnership with shod and non-shod and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places inside script, concurrently commemorate it clear to us that there's little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this is usually a severe test of strength, where you cannot find any place for that weak, where even on the list of living - almost like among wolves.
However, you will find a second side to the medal, behind which, obviously, lies one of the largest weaknesses of your series. Sometimes the bias towards drama on the detriment from the drive and tense atmosphere helps to make the series look bland, dragging on only every once in awhile, which are the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, the possible lack of freshness of the planet, belonging to the monotony in the setting as well as monotony with the scenery. Coupled with the unhurried advancement of events, this will cause some disappointment, considering that the series, flashing brightly at the beginning and setting a strong pace, ceases to keep it, rarely returning to actually stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely will never let you get bored could be the many colorful and deep characters.
