Through hardship to the stars


George Romero saw in his youth, probably a lot of films about zombies. He liked all this and had a desire to make his own movie about the devourers of the flesh. He did not hesitate and took off his masterpiece. With a budget of $ 114,000, the film collected $ 12,000,000 in the US, and it was this that made Romero understand that everything was just beginning. Then George waited world glory, the recognition of all lovers of horror, both modern and old.

This film begins to touch from the first minute only one presence of a black actor in the title role, and in fact in those not so remote times, black was rarely taken to secondary, and that to the main - it was a shame and a shame for the director. But Romero would not be Romero, if he did not do what he does always. I spat on the orders, canons and fashion. He created something that has not been done in cinema for a long time. I shot a black and white film. No studio wanted to distribute this film, only Columbia was rushing around the picture, but it did not suit her much either. And they can be easily understood. Who in those days needed a black and white film with a Negro in the title role, and even with a tragic finale? But Romero did not give up and the film was released in the rental. And now I do not remember, it seems to be Columbia Pictures, and it seems like not her. But all this is not important.

After all, first of all the film attracts with its slowness, because modern films about zombies are running around, fights, heads from the shoulders, bodies to parts, obscene language. In this film, it was all in moderation, but when you see it, you enjoy the moment. On the actor's game and say nothing. All played perfectly, but most of all, of course, Dwayne Jones, the theater actor and just a master of his craft.

You can endlessly sing this praise to this film, but I think it's necessary to say one thing. George Romero took off his debut and conquered all. His name will never leave the history of cinema. Later he will remove many more films about the living dead and they will all be masterpiece in their mastery, but they will never compare with this picture. Sincerely and with all my heart I wish good luck to the master of horrors George Romero, let him not grow old and continues to please us with his wonderful films.

The best movie about zombies in history

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...
