This is a great and thought provoking film.
Yes, thought provoking.
I've seen some viewers call this movie "schlock" and level related criticisms at the movie.
Did we even watch the same film?
This isn't schlock.
2 obvious reasons for this are: A: The film is well made and B: it's very thoughtful.
It's like did alot of viewers somehow miss the intentional pervasive irony and dry humor of this movie?
Did they not perceive it at all?
But though humor is used this is actually a very tragic and sad movie existentially.
I think people don't give it the time of day because they don't respect it as a film at all. They have preconceived notions when they watch it.
It's like alot of the reviewers just miss the point all together.
It uses the setting and situation of the film symbolically.
The film is not about killing zombies. That happens. But the essence of the film is philosophical.
Now I can imagine readers consternation when hearing that, but it's true.
Somehow they missed the whole movie.
In the final act of the film the symbolic intention becomes so strong, one wonders how anyone could miss it.
The setting and situations and alot of the characters are used symbolically. In a philosophical way.
Now I know some of your are going to find this quite ridiculous. But it's true. And a perceptive viewer should be able to see it.
This is a very re-watchable movie to me.
Because while I picked up on some of the symbolism and metaphor, there's alot to unpack and sort out as to what the film is specifically saying.
At the very least the basic setting should be quite relatable to anyone who's had some menial dead end job.
But that's just basic to what the film deals with philosophically.
So this is a movie for the perceptive viewer.
If one takes it on face value one will miss 80% of the movie.
The film is not about the actual events of the story but instead uses the narrative to explore philosophical themes and that should become very obvious by the end of the movie.
The philosophical themes and threads are complex so I'll probably rewatch to nail down exactly what the film is saying.
But it explores themes like menial work, death, love, fate, lack of purpose, freedom(or lack there of). And just general existential struggle.
I recommend this film to a perceptive, open minded viewer who can stomach horror.
