"Zombieland" synopsis

A world where most of humanity has turned into flesh-eating Dawn of the Dead due to the explosion of a new virus. Columbus, a reclusive young man who created ``32 Rules for Survival'' and has survived by putting them into practice; Tallahassee, the strongest hunter; and sisters Wichita and Little Rock, two beautiful con artists who have mastered the art of survival. He continues his nightmarish survival journey towards a dream amusement park that is rumored to be free of Dawn of the Dead. However, for Columbus, who had never really interacted with other people before, these days were the most fun adventures he had ever had, as he felt alive for the first time and learned about friendship and love.

A bold structure that dares to bring out the best part of Dawn of the Dead movies



It's a refreshing movie, unlike any Dawn of the Dead movie.


Although the movie is full of blood splatter from the beginning, there is no mad image or smell of violence. It has strong comedic elements, but there doesn't seem to be any American gag. Rather, what you feel after watching is growth, friendship, and love. ``Zombieland'' (2009) is a road movie about people surviving in a world at the end of the century, a human drama about men and women who are traumatized and lonely, finding a place to belong, and it's a very good story.


A world where most of humanity has become Dawn of the Dead. Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), one of the few survivors, has steadily survived by following the ``32 Rules for Surviving in a Dawn of the Dead World.'' One day, Columbus meets Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a high-spirited Texas man, and strong sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), and for the first time he begins to realize that he has friends.


"Zombieland" preview


There are many light-hearted Dawn of the Dead movies such as ` `Shaun of the Dead '' (2004), ` `Warm Bodies '' (13), and `` Anna and the End of the World '' (17), but `` Zombieland'' has a lot in common with them. Although there are elements to it, it is different from all of them. I guess the main theme is "enjoying life". Although the depiction of ``fighting Dawn of the Dead'' is clearly depicted, there is not the slightest hint of a ``I will definitely survive!'' sloppiness. Rather, I feel a sense of ``let's enjoy this ``now'' to the fullest.''


One of the main reasons for this is that it depicts a world ``after'' Dawn of the Dead. In Dawn of the Dead movies, the big highlight is when people mutate and panic. There are many national hits such as the Hollywood Dawn of the Dead blockbuster “ World War Z ” (2013), the Korean hit “ Train to Busan ” (2016), and the live-action movie “ I am a Hero ” (16) based on a popular Japanese manga. This format is used regardless of the country or region.


However, Zombieland quickly explains this in the first few minutes, and the rest only depicts panic in flashbacks from the main character (incidentally, Amber Heard appears in that scene). This film's ``unorthodox'' narrative style is thought to be due to its emphasis on portraying ``how to live'' as mentioned above.


Don't think about things you can't do anything about. It can't be helped even if it gets dark. Its ``brightness'' and ``kindness'' are probably the reasons why it continues to be loved by both audiences and the production team even after 10 years, and why the sequel `` Zombieland: Double Tap '' (2019) was made.


“Zombieland: Double Tap” preview


By the way, this film was a huge hit, grossing over $100 million at the global box office despite an estimated production cost of 23.6 million dollars, but despite its huge success, it's also extremely lacking in any pretentious aspects. Interesting.


In ``Zombieland: Double Tap,'' the friendly atmosphere created by the cast and staff members is clearly evident. A relaxed and secure feeling, like being a couch potato with a close friend. It's a ``likable'' movie from top to bottom.
