The Planet As We Knew It Offers Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was published in the news, suddenly learning to be 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 on the job horror movies, famous for his highly successful screen adaptations of Stephen King's novels. Even though Darabont subsequently left the project, "The Walking Dead" always stayed afloat, changing showrunners, but without losing the business atmosphere, even when each season was distinguished by its own special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the earliest season attracted over 5 million viewers on the screens, plus the season itself received a very warm welcome and excellent read reviews, including from professional critics. The plot in the series involves the storyplot of former law enforcement officer Rick Grimes, who wakes up in a very hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and efforts to find his family and survive in the concept of the revived dead. After a while, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving across the northeastern in the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the very first viewing, the series leaves the impression of a project that sets a brand spanking new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even typically the most popular film franchise rolling around in its genre "Resident Evil", obviously, not in the quality of camera work, in the degree of elaboration with the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already by the fact that they're not just another shooter, having a ridiculous script and characters written "on their own knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, reported by users, "shoot" for the same reason because "Game of Thrones" released 1 year later. At the time of the production of the last bright fantasy of the quality of "The Lord from the Rings" there was clearly practically no, plus the series, conveniently occupying a clear niche, was a cult. So can be zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, and not in quality; few films of this genre are able to pleasantly surprise, for the majority of them stereotyped and mediocrity are quite characteristic, while "Walking" is manufactured modestly, but with taste. The project doesn't require the celebrities of the primary magnitude, and a lot of actors, to the contrary, became popular as a consequence of their roles in The Walking Dead. This, apparently, doesn't allow turning to expensive effects, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is usually completely banal - value your family and you should not substitute. It appears there is nothing special to hook the viewer with, but all this can be forgiven and repays with interest, because of mesmerizing atmosphere in the post-apocalypse, captivating from the initial minutes of viewing.
Age rating with the project "18+" speaks by itself - blood, meat, ugly dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; almost no episode is done without murders by survivors or walkers, but that isn't why the fans love the series. Although when you're getting started, The Walking Dead is just a crimson jackpot, but should you dig deeper, it turns out that the ominous zombie apocalypse is just the scenery against which the chief story develops. The story of survivors fighting to preserve the most important human values, like love, friendship, family. The story of methods 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 observe a hackneyed topic from another type of angle and tell a touching story of the zombie horror, adding a touch of soulfulness. Therefore, the series itself, considering the bloodshed abundance, is not an adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the key of "run and shoot", where such a perception will interest only the younger generation and, first off, adolescents. Here, a superb area of the screen time is devoted to the disclosure of characters and reincarnations, their bond totally and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places inside the script, all at once celebrate it clear to us that you have little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, it is a severe test of strength, where there's no place for any weak, where even one of several living - just like among wolves.
However, there exists a second side for this medal, behind which, obviously, lies the most significant weaknesses from the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama to your detriment from the drive and tense atmosphere definitely makes the series look bland, dragging on only occasionally, that makes the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, having less freshness of the environment, from the monotony of your setting and the monotony with the scenery. In addition to the unhurried growth and development of events, this leads to some disappointment, for the reason that series, flashing brightly from the outset and setting a strong pace, ceases to ensure that it stays, rarely returning to really stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely will not likely let you will get bored will be the many colorful and deep characters.
