The Earth When We Knew It Offers Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was released on tv, suddenly to become a cult and gathering a tremendous audience of fans. The initial season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his mitts horror movies, noted 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 this company atmosphere, even though each season was distinguished by its very own special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the earliest season attracted a lot more than 5 million viewers on the screens, as well as the season itself received an exceptionally warm welcome and ideal reviews, including from professional critics. The plot from the series revolves around the storyplot of former police man Rick Grimes, who awakens inside a hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and attempts to find his family and survive in the world of the revived dead. Eventually, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving over the new england in the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the 1st viewing, the series leaves the impression of a project that sets a fresh bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even the most used film franchise in the genre "Resident Evil", of course, not in the products special effects, employing the degree of elaboration with the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already because they may not be just another shooter, using a ridiculous script and characters written "on their knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as the saying goes, "shoot" for the same reason because the "Game of Thrones" released a year later. At the time of the making on the last bright fantasy of the quality of "The Lord from the Rings" there was clearly practically no, as well as the series, conveniently occupying an empty niche, became a cult. So are zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, but is not in quality; few films with this genre can easily pleasantly surprise, for most stereotyped and mediocrity are so characteristic, while "Walking" manufactured modestly, though taste. The project doesn't involve the celebrities of the 1st magnitude, many actors, quite the opposite, gained popularity because of their roles in The Walking Dead. Your budget, apparently, doesn't allow resorting to expensive lighting tricks, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality can often be completely banal - value your household and you should not substitute. Apparantly there is nothing special to hook the viewer with, but all this is certainly forgiven and pays off with interest, thanks to the mesmerizing atmosphere in the post-apocalypse, captivating from the first minutes of viewing.
The age rating of your project "18+" speaks for itself - blood, meat, the appearance of dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; little episode is finished without murders by survivors or walkers, but this may not be why the fans love the series. Although initially, The Walking Dead is simply crimson jackpot, but if you dig deeper, it turns out that the ominous zombie apocalypse is just the scenery against which the main story develops. The story of survivors fighting to preserve a vey important human values, for instance love, friendship, family. The story plot of how difficult it is always to remain humane and human in inhuman conditions. And, apparently, it absolutely was these ideas that inspired last year's South Korean thriller Train to Busan, which managed to look at a hackneyed topic from some other angle and tell a touching story of any zombie horror, adding a bit of soulfulness. Hence the series itself, with all the current bloodshed abundance, is no adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the key of "run and shoot", where such a concept will interest only younger people and, first of all, adolescents. Here, an excellent section of the screen time is dedicated to the disclosure of characters and their reincarnations, their bond with regards to and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places within the script, concurrently it will make it clear to us that there is little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this is a severe test of strength, where there isn't a place for any weak, where even among the list of living - almost like among wolves.
However, you will find there's second side to that medal, behind which, obviously, lies one of the largest weaknesses of your series. Sometimes the bias towards drama towards the detriment of your drive and tense atmosphere makes the series look bland, dragging on only occasionally, that produces the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, deficiency of freshness of the environment, for this monotony of your setting plus the monotony on the scenery. Along with the unhurried growth and development of events, this will cause some disappointment, ever since the series, flashing brightly at first and setting an effective pace, ceases to ensure that it stays, rarely returning to genuinely stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely will likely not let you have bored is the many colorful and deep characters.
