The Globe Once We Knew It Offers Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was introduced in the news, suddenly to become 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 blog about movies, famous for his highly successful screen adaptations of Stephen King's novels. Although Darabont subsequently left the project, "The Walking Dead" always stayed afloat, changing showrunners, but without losing the corporation atmosphere, whether or not each season was distinguished by a special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the primary season attracted greater than 5 million viewers in the screens, and also the season itself received an incredibly warm welcome and ideal reviews, including from professional critics. The plot on the series involves the tale of former police Rick Grimes, who awakens within a hospital amid a zombie apocalypse and tries to find his family and survive in the world of the revived dead. After a while, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving on the new england on the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the earliest viewing, the series leaves the impression of a task that sets a fresh bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even the most popular film franchise included in the genre "Resident Evil", obviously, not in human eye camera work, but also in the degree of elaboration on the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already because they're not the next shooter, using a ridiculous script and characters written "with their knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as we say, "shoot" for the similar reason as the "Game of Thrones" released annually later. During the time of the release of your last bright fantasy of how much "The Lord of the Rings" there were practically no, as well as series, conveniently occupying a clear niche, became a cult. So may be zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, although not in quality; few films of this genre will be able to pleasantly surprise, for many stereotyped and mediocrity are really characteristic, while "Walking" manufactured modestly, but taste. The project does not involve celebrities of the very first magnitude, and lots of actors, to the contrary, became popular on account of their roles in The Walking Dead. The budget, apparently, won't allow resorting to expensive camera work, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is normally completely banal - value all your family members and substitute. It seems apparent that there isn't anything special to hook the viewer with, but all this is certainly forgiven and pays off with interest, thanks to the mesmerizing atmosphere of the post-apocalypse, captivating from the very first minutes of viewing.
Age rating on the project "18+" speaks for itself - blood, meat, ugly dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; little episode is done without murders by survivors or walkers, but it's not why the fans love the series. Although at first glance, The Walking Dead is just a crimson jackpot, but should you dig deeper, apparently the ominous zombie apocalypse is simply the scenery against which the leading story develops. Situation of survivors fighting to preserve the most important human values, just like love, friendship, family. The tale of how difficult it is always to remain humane and human in inhuman conditions. And, apparently, it had become these ideas that inspired last year's South Korean thriller Train to Busan, which managed to consider a hackneyed topic from a different angle and tell a touching story of your zombie horror, adding a touch of soulfulness. And so the series itself, with all the bloodshed abundance, is not an adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the principle of "run and shoot", where such a notion will interest only young adults and, first of all, adolescents. Here, a good portion of the screen time is focused on the disclosure of characters and reincarnations, the link bewteen barefoot and shoes and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the main places while in the script, while doing so this makes it clear to us that there's little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this is usually a severe test of strength, where there is absolutely no place with the weak, where even one of several living - almost like among wolves.
However, there is a second side for this medal, behind which, obviously, lies the most significant weaknesses of the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama for the detriment in the drive and tense atmosphere helps make the series look bland, dragging on only occasionally, which makes the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, deficiency of freshness of the planet, associated with the monotony with the setting as well as monotony of the scenery. In conjunction with the unhurried growth and development of events, most of us some disappointment, since the series, flashing brightly in the beginning and setting a very good pace, ceases to ensure that it stays, rarely returning to truly stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely will not likely let you have bored would be the many colorful and deep characters.
