The Planet As We Knew It s Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was launched in the news, suddenly learning to be a cult and gathering a tremendous 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. While Darabont subsequently left the project, "The Walking Dead" always stayed afloat, changing showrunners, but without losing the company atmosphere, even if each season was distinguished by a unique special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the very first season attracted a lot more than 5 million viewers through the screens, as well as the season itself received a really warm welcome and excellent reviews, including from professional critics. The plot with the series involves the storyline of former officer Rick Grimes, who awakens inside a hospital dealing with a zombie apocalypse and efforts to find his family and survive in the world 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 project that sets a new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even the favourite film franchise rolling around in its genre "Resident Evil", needless to say, not in human eye special effects, but also in the condition of elaboration in the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already by the fact that they are certainly not the next shooter, with a ridiculous script and characters written "on his or her knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, reported by users, "shoot" for a similar reason for the reason that "Bet on Thrones" released a year later. Before the discharge from the last bright fantasy of how much "The Lord from the Rings" there were practically no, and also the series, conveniently occupying a vacant niche, was a cult. So are zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, although not in quality; few films on this genre have the ability to pleasantly surprise, for many stereotyped and mediocrity are quite characteristic, while "Walking" is made modestly, however with taste. The project does not involve celebrities of the first magnitude, and lots of actors, quite the opposite, came into common use as a result of their roles in The Walking Dead. Your ability to buy, apparently, will not allow resorting to expensive effects, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality can often be completely banal - value your family and substitute. It appears that absolutely nothing is special to hook the viewer with, but all this really is forgiven and pays off with interest, due to the mesmerizing atmosphere of your post-apocalypse, captivating from the 1st minutes of viewing.
The age rating with the project "18+" speaks for itself - blood, meat, ugly dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; virtually no episode is complete without murders by survivors or walkers, but this is simply not why the fans love the series. Although at first glance, The Walking Dead is just a crimson jackpot, but should you dig deeper, evidently , the ominous zombie apocalypse is the scenery against which the primary story develops. The tale of survivors fighting to preserve the most crucial human values, for instance love, friendship, family. The story plot of how difficult it should 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 a different angle and tell a touching story of an zombie horror, adding some soulfulness. Therefore the series itself, with all the bloodshed abundance, is not an adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the key of "run and shoot", where such a thought will interest only the younger generation and, for starters, adolescents. Here, an excellent part of the screen time is devoted to the disclosure of characters and their reincarnations, the link bewteen barefoot and shoes and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places within the script, concurrently it makes it clear to us that there's little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this is a severe test of strength, where you cannot find any place for that weak, where even on the list of living - as though among wolves.
However, there exists a second side to that medal, behind which, obviously, lies one of the largest weaknesses from the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama on the detriment of the drive and tense atmosphere definitely makes the series look bland, dragging on only on occasion, helping to make the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, the lack of freshness of the surroundings, from the monotony on the setting plus the monotony of the scenery. Along with the unhurried development of events, this makes some disappointment, since series, flashing brightly at first and setting a strong pace, ceases to make it, rarely returning to seriously stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely will never let you get bored will be the many colorful and deep characters.
