Zombie Apocalypse Movie Message

Zombie Apocalypse. Apocalypse simply means “The Unveiling” of [whatever] is unveiled. Zombies started off as Caribbean folklore and were the result of voodoo priestesses entrances living people with zombie dust and the victims were thought to be dead and yet walked [007 movie “Live and Let Die”]. Earlier still was the Vincent Price Movie; “Last Man on Earth,” or the “I am Legend” movie and remakes, or the “real” one; “Night of the Living Dead,” and it’s sequels ad nauseum …

Zombies made a stellar, high-tech come-back with the “Milla Jovovich” Hot Genetically Modified, Mini-skirt wearing, gun toting bad assed (good assed) female zombie killing machine of the “Resident Evil” franchise. And of course, the British effort; “28 days later, et al.” There have even been comedy spin offs as in “Sean of the Dead.” Or even the “Omega Man.” Of course there have been a few Zombie Movie “Fails,” Like that Woody Haralson effort… what was that title? “Miniature Golf with Zombie Heads…” or maybe “101 ways to kill the Undead,” or was it “Natural Born Zombie Killer?” Don’t remember, I never watched it to the end…
 

What ever! But the point, whether the zombies were ‘slow” zombies (shuffling brain eating retards) or “fast” infectious (one bite and you’re in-fuck-ted) zombies, the one message (and the movie is the message) so the underlying message that is the real “take-a-way” message in all the movies? Come on, you know this one… The real “take-a-way” message in all these movies is this; “ NO ONE, NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY is coming to save you from the Zombies.” (Except maybe Woody Haralson, but then you are still screwed). So whether you think the Zombie Apocalypse is underway already, or it is off in the near/distant future, remember, when it arrives (and it is really “when,” not “if”), you are on your own, so deal with it.

Just a thought!
