The Globe Once We Knew It Has Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was launched on tv, suddenly transforming into a cult and gathering a huge audience of fans. The first season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his hands on horror movies, famous for his highly successful screen adaptations of Stephen King's novels. Even if Darabont subsequently left the project, "The Walking Dead" always stayed afloat, changing showrunners, but without losing the company atmosphere, although each season was distinguished by a unique special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the 1st season attracted above 5 million viewers from the screens, and the season itself received a very warm welcome and excellent reviews, including from professional critics. The plot from the series revolves around the story plot of former officer Rick Grimes, who awakens in a very hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and tries to find his family and survive in the industry of the revived dead. Eventually, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving down the northeastern with the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the initial viewing, the series leaves the sense of a task that sets a brand new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even the most famous film franchise in their genre "Resident Evil", obviously, not in the standard of computer graphics, playing with the condition of elaboration on the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already because they aren't the next shooter, using a ridiculous script and characters written "for their knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as we say, "shoot" for similar reason because "Game of Thrones" released per year later. Before the production of your last bright fantasy of the degree of "The Lord of your Rings" clearly there was practically no, and also the series, conveniently occupying a clear niche, was a cult. So can be zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, but is not in quality; few films of your genre can easily pleasantly surprise, for many of them stereotyped and mediocrity are so characteristic, while "Walking" is produced modestly, but with taste. The project does not require celebrities of the very first magnitude, and a lot of actors, to the contrary, become popular thanks to their roles in The Walking Dead. This, apparently, doesn't allow relying on expensive computer graphics, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is usually completely banal - value your family members and never substitute. It seems apparant that there isn't anything special to hook the viewer with, but all that is forgiven and pays off with interest, because of mesmerizing atmosphere on the post-apocalypse, captivating from the 1st minutes of viewing.
This rating from the project "18+" speaks by itself - blood, meat, ugly dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; hardly any episode is finished without murders by survivors or walkers, but this may not be why the fans love the series. Although at first, The Walking Dead is simply a crimson jackpot, but should you dig deeper, evidently the ominous zombie apocalypse is simply the scenery by which the leading story develops. The tale of survivors fighting to preserve the most important human values, for example love, friendship, family. The storyline of how difficult it is always 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 consider a hackneyed topic from an alternative angle and tell a touching story of your zombie horror, adding some soulfulness. Hence the series itself, together with the bloodshed abundance, is not an adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the principle of "run and shoot", where such a concept will interest only young adults and, first off, adolescents. Here, an excellent 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 main places from the script, at the same time this makes it clear to us that you have little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this is usually a severe test of strength, where there is absolutely no place for any weak, where even one of several living - as though among wolves.
However, you will find there's second side to that medal, behind which, obviously, lies the most significant weaknesses of your series. Sometimes the bias towards drama towards the detriment from the drive and tense atmosphere makes the series look bland, dragging on only from time to time, helping to make the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, lacking freshness of the environment, of this particular monotony on the setting and also the monotony of your scenery. In conjunction with the unhurried growth and development of events, this will cause some disappointment, since series, flashing brightly in the beginning and setting a very good pace, ceases to maintain it to remain, rarely returning to really stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely will not let you can get bored will be the many colorful and deep characters.
