The Earth Once We Knew It Offers Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was released a tv personality, suddenly to become cult and gathering an enormous audience of fans. The first season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his hands on horror movies, known for his highly successful screen adaptations of Stephen King's novels. Though Darabont subsequently left the project, "The Walking Dead" always stayed afloat, changing showrunners, but without losing the organization atmosphere, although each season was distinguished by its own special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the very first season attracted a lot more than 5 million viewers through the screens, and also the season itself received an incredibly warm welcome and ideal reviews, including from professional critics. The plot on the series revolves around the story plot of former police man Rick Grimes, who wakes up inside of a hospital in the course of a zombie apocalypse and efforts to find his family and survive in the world of the revived dead. After some time, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving along side colonial on the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the very first viewing, the series leaves the sense of a project that sets a brand new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even the most popular film franchise in its genre "Resident Evil", needless to say, not in the quality of lighting tricks, in the condition of elaboration of the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already by the fact that they are certainly not yet another shooter, using a ridiculous script and movie review characters written "on his or her knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as it were, "shoot" for the similar reason as being the "Bet on Thrones" released per year later. In the course of the discharge of the last bright fantasy of the amount of "The Lord on the Rings" there was practically no, as well as the series, conveniently occupying a clear chair niche, became a cult. So are zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, and not in quality; few films on this genre can pleasantly surprise, for many of them stereotyped and mediocrity are so characteristic, while "Walking" is created modestly, but with taste. The project doesn't involve the heavens of the first magnitude, and a lot of actors, however, gained popularity as a consequence of their roles in The Walking Dead. Your budget, apparently, won't allow turning to expensive tricks, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is frequently completely banal - value all your family members and do not substitute. It would seem that there is nothing special to hook the viewer with, but all this really is forgiven and pays off with interest, on account of the mesmerizing atmosphere of the post-apocalypse, captivating from the first minutes of viewing.
The age rating of your project "18+" speaks for itself - blood, meat, ugly dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; very 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 crimson jackpot, but when you dig deeper, apparently the ominous zombie apocalypse is only the scenery against which the chief story develops. Situation of survivors fighting to preserve an important human values, including love, friendship, family. Situation of methods difficult it will be 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 observe a hackneyed topic from an alternative angle and tell a touching story of a zombie horror, adding a touch of soulfulness. Hence the series itself, with the bloodshed abundance, is not an adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the principle of "run and shoot", where such an idea will interest only young adults and, first of all, adolescents. Here, a superb portion of the screen time is devoted to the disclosure of characters along with their reincarnations, the link together and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places from the script, all at once it makes it clear to us that you have little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this can be a severe test of strength, where there is no place for any weak, where even one of several living - just like among wolves.
However, you will find a second side to that medal, behind which, obviously, lies one of the biggest weaknesses from the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama to the detriment from the drive and tense atmosphere definitely makes the series look bland, dragging on only from time to time, which are the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, a defieicency of freshness of the surroundings, for this monotony in the setting and also the monotony on the scenery. In addition to the unhurried growth and development of events, this causes some disappointment, considering that the series, flashing brightly at the beginning and setting a robust pace, ceases to make it, rarely returning to actually stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely is not going to let you obtain bored will be the many colorful and deep characters.
