The Planet Once We Knew It s Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was published a tv personality, suddenly transforming into a cult and gathering an enormous audience of fans. The 1st season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his mitts on horror movies, recognized 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 corporate atmosphere, whether or not each season was distinguished by a unique special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the primary season attracted above 5 million viewers in the screens, as well as season itself received a very warm welcome and ideal reviews, including from professional critics. The plot from the series requires the tale of former cop Rick Grimes, who awakens within a hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and tries to find his family and survive in the world of the revived dead. After some time, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving on the east coast in the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the very first viewing, the series leaves the impression of a task that sets a brand new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even typically the most popular film franchise included in the genre "Resident Evil", of course, not in the standard of lighting tricks, however in how much elaboration of the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already because they aren't just another shooter, by using a ridiculous script and characters written "on their knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as we say, "shoot" for a similar reason for the reason that "Bet on Thrones" released each year later. In the time the making of your last bright fantasy of how much "The Lord with the Rings" there seemed to be practically no, and also the series, conveniently occupying a clear niche, became a cult. So might be zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, and not in quality; few films of this genre have the ability to pleasantly surprise, for many stereotyped and mediocrity are so characteristic, while "Walking" is made modestly, but with taste. The project doesn't involve the heavens of the first magnitude, and several actors, to the contrary, become popular because of their roles in The Walking Dead. This, apparently, will not allow turning to expensive computer graphics, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality can often be completely banal - value your family members and do not substitute. It seems apparant that there isn't anything special to hook the viewer with, but all this is certainly forgiven and is completely worth it with interest, because of mesmerizing atmosphere with the post-apocalypse, captivating from the initial minutes of viewing.
The age rating with the project "18+" speaks by itself - blood, meat, the style of dismembered bodies and broken skulls are abundant here; very little episode is done without murders by survivors or walkers, but that isn't why the fans love the series. Although when you're beginning, The Walking Dead is simply a crimson jackpot, but for those who dig deeper, evidently , the ominous zombie apocalypse is just the scenery by which the main story develops. The tale of survivors fighting to preserve the most important human values, just like love, friendship, family. The story of how difficult it would be 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 see a hackneyed topic from a different angle and tell a touching story on the zombie horror, adding a touch of soulfulness. Therefore, the series itself, with all the current bloodshed abundance, is not an adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the key of "run and shoot", where such an idea will interest only young adults and, to start with, adolescents. Here, a fantastic section of the screen time is specialized in the disclosure of characters as well as their reincarnations, the link totally and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places from the script, as well 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 there isn't a place to the weak, where even among the list of living - as if among wolves.
However, you will find a second side to the present medal, behind which, obviously, lies one of the largest weaknesses with the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama towards detriment with the drive and tense atmosphere makes 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, a defieicency of freshness of the environment, linked to the monotony from the setting and the monotony from the scenery. Along with the unhurried advancement of events, this makes some disappointment, considering that the series, flashing brightly in the beginning and setting an effective pace, ceases to make it, rarely returning to seriously stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely is not going to let you have bored is the many colorful and deep characters.
