The Planet Once We Knew There Are Disappeared But Keeping Humanity Is Our Choice
In 2010, the TV series "The Walking Dead" was launched in the news, suddenly transforming into a cult and gathering a large audience of fans. The very first season of The Walkers was directed by Frank Darabont, who had already got his practical horror movies, known 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 corporate atmosphere, even though each season was distinguished by a special style, or, more correctly, individuality. The pilot episode of the initial season attracted in excess of 5 million viewers from your screens, and the season itself received an extremely warm welcome and excellent reviews, including from professional critics. The plot from the series involves the tale of former cop Rick Grimes, who wakes up in a hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and attempts to find his family and survive in the industry of the revived dead. After some time, Rick makes new friends and enemies, moving on the northeastern of the United States and shooting crowds of hungry walking dead.
At the first viewing, the series leaves the sense of a task that sets a completely new bar for creating zombie slashers, partially bypassing even the most used film franchise in the genre "Resident Evil", of course, not in human eye lighting tricks, playing with the condition of elaboration with the universe. "The Walking Dead" bribes already because it isn't just another shooter, that has a ridiculous script and characters written "on their own knees." Thus, the "Walking Dead" managed, as the saying goes, "shoot" for the very same reason as the "Bet on Thrones" released 12 months later. In the time the making from the last bright fantasy of the degree of "The Lord on the Rings" clearly there was practically no, as well as the series, conveniently occupying a vacant niche, became a cult. So may be zombie horror - yes, they shine in quantity, however, not in quality; few films of the genre are able to pleasantly surprise, for a lot of them stereotyped and mediocrity are really characteristic, while "Walking" is created modestly, but taste. The project does not involve the heavens of the earliest magnitude, and plenty of actors, to the contrary, gained popularity thanks to their roles in The Walking Dead. Your ability to buy, apparently, does not allow turning to expensive effects, plot moves are uncomplicated, and morality is normally completely banal - value your family members and do not substitute. Apparantly absolutely nothing is special to hook the viewer with, but all this really is forgiven and makes sense with interest, due to the mesmerizing atmosphere on the post-apocalypse, captivating from the very first minutes of viewing.
This rating of your project "18+" speaks for itself - blood, meat, the appearance of 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, The Walking Dead is just a crimson jackpot, but in case you dig deeper, it turns out that the ominous zombie apocalypse is only the scenery by which the leading story develops. The storyline of survivors fighting to preserve the main 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 had been these ideas that inspired last year's South Korean thriller Train to Busan, which managed to look at a hackneyed topic from a different angle and tell a touching story of any zombie horror, adding some soulfulness. Therefore the series itself, with all the current bloodshed abundance, is not an adaptation of "Left 4 Dead", built on the principle of "run and shoot", where such an idea will interest only young adults and, for starters, adolescents. Here, a fantastic perhaps the screen time is devoted to the disclosure of characters along with their reincarnations, their bond between them and conflicts; the dramatic content of "The Walking Dead" occupies one of the leading places while in the script, at the same time it can make it clear to us that you have little romance in survival in post-apocalypse conditions, this can be a severe test of strength, where there isn't any place for any weak, where even one of several living - just like among wolves.
However, you will find a second side to that medal, behind which, obviously, lies most significant weaknesses on the series. Sometimes the bias towards drama towards the detriment of your drive and tense atmosphere helps make the series look bland, dragging on only on occasion, which are the plot progress seem indecently slow. Another specific feature of "Walkers" is, not immediately apparent, a defieicency of freshness of the environment, of this particular monotony from the setting and also the monotony from the scenery. Joined with the unhurried continuing development of events, this leads some disappointment, considering that the series, flashing brightly at the start and setting an effective pace, ceases to ensure that is stays, rarely returning to seriously stormy action and vigorous narration. But what definitely will never let you have bored would be the many colorful and deep characters.
