"Night ..." as the leader of films about zombies.


I'm very sorry for the horror movies!

In the cinematography there is not one genre so hated by various kinds of festivals. There are famous European film reviews, there are the most popular Golden Globe and Oscar, there are festivals like "Sundance", introducing the "young cinema". There are even premiums in the porn industry. I can not remember any horror film that deserves a major prize at one of the festivals. And even if they were narrowly focused, it would be exactly where the leaders and lawmakers would get "Psycho", "Halloween", "Something", "Radiance", Rosemary's Baby "," Alien "and surely there would be" Night of the Living Dead " George Romero.

The story is this: in the cemetery at the wake of his father come brother and sister - Johnny and Barbara. Immediately they are attacked by a man resembling a walking dead man. They are hiding in the house, where the driver passing by Ben joins them. They barricade themselves in a house, to which live dead men are coming - from the so-called. zombie. There is also a small group of people in the house, including a couple whose child was bitten by one of these creatures. The night is approaching, the situation is heating up, a little girl slowly turns into a zombie, and hordes of such creatures outside begin to break into the house.

I always have a lot of conflicts about whether to make the film "Top Ten"? And even if the film is very good - I'm not sure if it deserves a higher score. But with "Night ..." I do not think that I was wrong. Because this picture is rightly considered the first canonical history of zombies and the first in the "trilogy of the dead" by George Romero himself, stretching it for almost twenty years and still shooting free continuations.

Those who ask the question "what is pleasant in the dismemberment of some freaks by others"? I think it's useless to explain such people. The charm of the movie, of course, is not in this - not a make-up alone it is great. Although realistic special effects, as in the case of "Something" are very important.

Whether it was a film about the murders - he would have earned far less "points" and pulled at best to a rank-and-file horror film. And maybe did not give a theme for the works of the masters, especially the Italian, like Lucio Fulci or Lamberto Bava. The film brilliantly shows the atmosphere. The atmosphere is oppressive, hopeless. The main characters are completely ignorant - they have a bunch of questions and no answers. What are these creatures? How to deal with them? Where did they come from? Why do they look like that and bite the living? Moreover, the characters in the film are very clearly written characters and their characters. The clash (I'm not afraid of this word) of the positions of cold-blooded Ben and Harry is about to reach its apogee. One wants to be a leader constantly, the other tries to think as sensibly as possible.

The "Horror" film language is directly inherited by John Carpenter. In which in the early paintings there is practically no music, the camera is almost "handy". And by the way, you can not fail to note the influence on Fulci, who also in movies zombies are looked directly at the camera. Either the operator intentionally removes the horrible face of these creatures not entirely.

In general, concluding, I will say that it is interesting to romero not so much to frighten the visual series - although again without it in any way - as much as the atmosphere of total ignorance, misunderstanding and horror in a closed space and reigning complete hopelessness. It was this fear that Carpenter cultivated in his brilliant film "Something".

P.S. Named in the very beginning of the picture still participated in some awards. And they got something from technical nominations. "Psycho" in 1961 even received the "Golden Globe" ... The truth is not the film itself, but only one of the secondary ones - the prize was given to Janet Lee. On the most important prize, not one of the films I named was nominated.

The second season-to be?

The series interested me immediately. Yes, for a serial case, the topic of androids in the police is not new. But this is the first time I've seen it from this angle. First, there is only one Android, the so-called 'prototype'. Second, he is her, the girl. Besides, she's a beauty. That immediately generates the expectation of ridiculous and piquant situations. And all this is in the series, the plot of which balances all the way somewhere on the verge of harsh reality/fiction and the absurd. Third, 'project' Anna Nikolaevna ' is a procedural, but rather a Comedy than a melodrama/drama / detective. The series is held on some fine line that does not allow it to slide into the absurd, and at the same time, between the lines reads a serious message - Android is not just a working machine, it is a thing that works for you today, and tomorrow... who knows what she will do tomorrow? Stephen Hawking believed that artificial intelligence would destroy humanity. With...

Another, but not passable Star Trek

My opinion about this film a few days after watching was ripe. Although in reality, it is not much different from first impressions. Honestly, I didn’t even try to analyze it deeply, and there’s really nothing. "Star Trek: Infinity" - a good example of a typical Hollywood blockbuster with all the consequences. It should be noted that a good example. Here, in almost perfect proportions, humor, action, drama, a predictable, but thoughtful history and cool characters are collected. Of course, of the new ones, there are villains, but there is also one, perhaps the brightest one, the character - a blonde with stripes on her face (I don’t remember her name). She seemed bright to me, of course, not only because of the contrasting color of the skin, but because of her character - now typical for Hollywood - a strong, independent, able to give a good response to any scoundrel girl who learned everything herself. That's what the instinct of self-preservation does to people. But m...

Do not stop dreaming!

While “Bachelor parties” and “Fast and Furious” are stamped in Hollywood in batches, Russia makes one-on-one tearful melodramas, the French and Italians make comedies about love, in India they dance and sing, we, the British, make films that are slowly but surely interspersed with the history of cinema in small steps, bringing whole ideas into the lives of the viewer. Perhaps it was someone and somewhere already said, but all this is not important, because when we go back in time you don’t think about it. Well, actually, I have to go into a cozy little room to fix what I have done. Oh yeah, if you do not forget - my name is Tim. My life is not that ordinary, but such as everyone, I guess. I have a family - mom, dad, older sister and uncle who has no one, because he lives with us. We routinely spend our days - walks by the ocean, Friday evening film shows, family holidays ... I have a lot of things about my family, right? Let me return to the main story, the main character of which...
