The Globe As We Knew It Has Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was launched on television, suddenly transforming into a cult and gathering a huge audience of fans. The very first season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his mitts horror movies, recognized 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, whether or not each season was distinguished by its special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the initial season attracted more than 5 million viewers through the screens, and the season itself received a really warm welcome and excellent reviews, including from professional critics. The plot with the series revolves around the storyline of former law enforcement officer Rick Grimes, who awakens in the hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and efforts to find his family and survive in the concept of the revived dead. Eventually, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving down the new england from the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the 1st viewing, the series leaves the sense of a task that sets a new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even typically the most popular film franchise to use genre "Resident Evil", not surprisingly, not in the standard of effects, however in how much elaboration of your universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already by the fact that they're not merely another shooter, which has a ridiculous script and characters written "on their knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as it were, "shoot" for the same reason for the reason that "Game of Thrones" released each year later. At the time of the making on the last bright fantasy of the degree of "The Lord on the Rings" there was practically no, as well as series, conveniently occupying an empty niche, was a cult. So are zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, however, not in quality; few films of your genre will be able to pleasantly surprise, for most stereotyped and mediocrity are really characteristic, while "Walking" is manufactured modestly, though taste. The project does not require celebrities of the initial magnitude, and a lot of actors, on the contrary, came into common use due to their roles in The Walking Dead. Your budget, apparently, will not allow relying on expensive effects, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is usually completely banal - value all your family members and you should not substitute. Apparantly there isn't anything special to hook the viewer with, but all this really is forgiven and repays with interest, due to the mesmerizing atmosphere from the post-apocalypse, captivating from the initial minutes of viewing.
The age rating from the project "18+" speaks for itself - blood, meat, the look off dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; very little episode is finished without murders by survivors or walkers, but that isn't why the fans love the series. Although at first glance, The Walking Dead is simply crimson jackpot, but when you dig deeper, it turns out that the ominous zombie apocalypse is just the scenery by which the principle story develops. The storyline of survivors fighting to preserve the most crucial human values, such as love, friendship, family. The story of how difficult it will be to remain humane and human in inhuman conditions. And, apparently, it had been these ideas that inspired last year's South Korean thriller Train to Busan, which managed to check out a hackneyed topic from another angle and tell a touching story of any zombie horror, adding a touch of soulfulness. And so the series itself, with the bloodshed abundance, is no adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the key of "run and shoot", where such an example will interest only young people and, to begin with, adolescents. Here, an excellent area of the screen time is dedicated to the disclosure of characters as well as their reincarnations, the bond between them and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the main places within the script, all at once it makes it clear to us that there's little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, it is a severe test of strength, where there's no place for your weak, where even one of the living - as if among wolves.
However, there is a second side to this medal, behind which, obviously, lies one of the greatest weaknesses on the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama towards detriment of the drive and tense atmosphere is the series look bland, dragging on only from time to time, that makes the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, deficiency of freshness of the environment, linked to the monotony in the setting as well as monotony with the scenery. Joined with the unhurried growth and development of events, this leads some disappointment, considering that the series, flashing brightly at the start and setting a robust pace, ceases to ensure that it stays, rarely returning to really stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely won't let you get bored is definitely the many colorful and deep characters.
