I watched World War Z for the what'eth time; so many times I've lost count. And still, I was getting agitated over scenes. This time though, I took some notes on the words I kept hurling at the TV screen to later analyse them. And here are the 5 things I picked up on watching World War Z.
If you want to survive, be brave! Brave enough to do things differently and hope it works. Like when he cut off the soldier's hand after she got bitten by the zombie. The protagonist/hero had a thought, decided and just did it. Imagine, if it did not go as he had hoped.
Do not, I repeat - DO NOT!! party until the job gets done. The cheering and singing, with microphones no less, while there's still so much chaos on the other side of the wall. True, we have to celebrate the small wins, but maybe quietly, and later when you know things are good for good, then let's get loud.
It's all perspective. A bad thing in one situation may be a good thing in another. The Zombies completely ignored this sick boy, which saved him from being bitten and turning into one too.
When you are cornered, just take your chances - like when he bombed the plane
Where do you go with zombies multiplying in milliseconds, in a confined space, up in the air? He could have died with the plane crash but he didn't know that for sure. What he did know, was if he did not do something, the zombies would get him.
Last but not least, you have to be mentally strong and physically fit to be able to offer yourself as the sacrificial lamb. It's all nice and dandy to have ideas, but to execute it come hell, water's high?! Now that's a hero. Two things he had to test out here, one was to get through a zombie-infested zone to get to the spot and then to test out his theory, which may or may not work.
This is probably the best Zombie movie I have watched. A movie, that had a lot going on from the start. Action, suspense, drama, and most of all, zombies. Zombies, that were spilling over each other in their frenzy to get to the humans. Scary!!
What's your favourite zombie movie? And why? Would love to know.
Thank you for reading,
Till next time, Carpe Diem!!
