| Posted by: willem84 at November 27, 2003, 1:02 am | | Topic: Reviews: 28 Days Later Forum: JoBlo | | I absolutely loved this film. I don't really see why so many people hated it. I can see why because it drug and there wasn't much action and it was more of a thinking movie rather than a cliche horror film where people died one by one from attacking zombies but what many don't realize is that these 'creatures' in the movies are not zombies. they are infected humans. *MINOR SPOILERS* What I liked most about the movie is that it conveyed several messages and meanings within the reality of death facing them (the characters). In the scene in the car, when 'Ave Maria' is playing, the two girls are playing cards and they are all smiling and it seems they are having the time of their lives. As if, anything they can possibly get their hands on is just....beautiful bc they are so appreciative of everything they have....apples...anything. just to be alive is good enough.....and any form of life they can get their hands on makes it all the better. this just goes to show that we, as humans, that live in a materialistic world, do not appreciate not only what we are given, or already have, but just the fact that we're alive in itself. The score is amazing, as well as the acting. The only part that got a little tedious was the army guys. They took away from the beauty of the movie. I know it was supposed to be rough and intense, but them fighting over the girls...i just...didn't really like that part...or the way it was done...or something.....I've always wanted to see a movie taken on with a futuristic/black plague sort-of twist and here i have one, set in the UK. One thing I'd like to add...or ask..is why so many movies choose 28 days...for their title or...for their reference .... I.E. ...that damn sandra bullock movie there is a play written by Naomi Wallace, titled "One Flea Spare" about the black plague that coincidentally takes place .....for a number of 28 days! then in "Donnie Darko"....after the rabbit meets Donnie he tells him it will be 28 days before the portal opens.... was just wondering if anyone else noticed these things?...... If you guys liked this movie, I'd suggest "The Omega Man".... this movie reminded me a lot of that....and I liked it a lot when I was a kid. Also, "Solvent Green" was good, although it has nothing to do with infected people or a plague or such, it's good lol. My rating for "28 Days Later" 9/10 |
