>Dawn of the Dead is about consumerismIs this the most retarded movie opinion of all time?
>>217347426The movie is set in a mall and the zombies are going there because it was the only place they used to hang out when they were alive
your memes and waifus WILL be delivered over to specially equipped squads of jannies for organized disposition
>>217347426It's about colonialism a scathing critique of a world that teaches children to be ashamed of themselves until their shame can be monetized, militarized, and launched into orbit.
>>217347426>Francine Parker: They're still here.>Stephen: They're after us. They know we're still in here.>Peter: They're after the place. They don't know why; they just remember. Remember that they want to be in here.or how about>Francine Parker: What are they doing? Why do they come here?>Stephen: Some kind of instinct. Memory of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives.Nothing about this strikes you as commentary on consumerism?
So what ideally WOULD be the best building to find refuge in during a zombie apocalypse?
>>217347548Shopping centers or 'malls' were also where people used to go to just hang out and have a good time. If people go to the beach and there is a gelato stand there are all beach goes consumerists now?
frannie a cute
>>217347580Depends on the zombie i guess. If they are romero zombies;Slow, minimal tool use, drawn to memory, easily distracted, head kill only, afraid of fireOutside of relying on the elements (extreme heat, cold, the ocean) it probably would be a military bunker on an island. Or in the mountains i guess. It's also more of a question about how long you are expected (or WANT) to last and how the environment/structure helps you with other problems apart from the zombies. Like a frozen wasteland is good for keeping the dead out, but what about food/water/heat/isolation?
>>217347678Gee I wonder how Inuits survive then
>>217347580My secret location is a local music shop at the top of a long hill that is adjacent to a huge bike trail system.>barred windows and roll-up security gate>nobody would rush to a music store over a grocery store/mall
>not hunkering down in a brutalist university library with an underground tunnel system and atrium
:D
>>217347737Please tell us how an eskimo such as yourself lives day to day.
>>217347792Is that a gril? They really made them different in the 70s.... Was it all the lead in the water?
>>217347787how many would be drawn to it from memory/population density? Do they store food there? Is anyone else helping you with blocking those big glass panes at the entrance?
>>217347580Prison or oil rig with self-sufficient farm
>>217347809that, plus all the ciggarettes
>>217347835>self-sufficient farmAn oil-rig would give you infinite salmon desu.But oilrigs have no women so I'd stick with the lighthouse with the lighthouse keeper's daughter.
>>217347876oil rigs also need a tonne of maintenance. I'm not so sure about the fishing part, how low do the walkways go? the winds would be pretty rough too so your line is going to go all over the place.
>>217347580A cabin on the side of a mountain with a spring fed well with a decent sized garden. Less populated areas should have less zombies, and even when they do spread out, its going to be thin numbers making it up the mountain. Set some man traps and fences to divert them down other paths. Set boulder and log traps where I can.
>evading zombiesIt's literarily this simple
>>217347426Well, romero was fond of appeasing to lefty themes back when he was still alive and kicking so I don't see why it's retarded. Hell, he even had a Indian Chris redfield in his resident evil movie script. Pretty progressive dude. It's like complaining about IT being woke. Look up the author first before you speak.
>>217348008imagine being the soviet general when you realize the test subjects of your new jet pack technology bounced over the berlin wall and never came back.
dawn of the dennis
>>217348008this starts playing in my brain when I look at that picturehttps://youtu.be/BNig6xG36i4?si=EYtW7fSiPcJ51RJ-
>>217348008>when you absolutely NEED to take your orange juice supply with you everywhere
>>217348180its Pittsburgh, not Philly
>>217347587You're a genuine fucking retard
>>217347787>Concrete all over except ground level which is just floor to ceiling glassFucking retard
>>217348193If I learned anything from dark souls its never be low on sunny d when there are zombies about.
>>217348290It could just as likely be about community than consumerism you close minded faggot.
Who the hell made this thread, a blind man?
>>217347940>how low do the walkways go?To the surface of the water, obviously???
>>217347587>Shopping centers or 'malls' were also where people used to go to just hang out and have a good timeStop posting for 5 minutes and think thoughts about this
>>217347426I thought it was about people in a Mall fighting zombies?
>>217348325Except it's not. A shopping mall is first and foremost a commercial retail outlet, and comparing one gelato stand on a beach to a complex dedicated entirely to stores makes you one of the most braindead gorillas I've ever seen.It's about consumerism and you're wrong.
>>217348365>the only reason people went to malls was to CONSUME, people never just hung out! Therefore the only reason a zombie would have a memory of a mall is because they want to buy things!You are unironically more brain dead than the zombies lmao, you just go with someone else's interpretation without thinking about it yourself.
>>217348365While that point is correct (for that time period), it doesn't have any bearing on the movie.
>>217347426A year or two ago they did a screening of dawn of the dead (technically zombi 2 I guess), but goblin showed up and played the score live. Shit was pretty cash. The opening scene in the news room was fucking intense with them just wailing and it was like watching it for the first time.
>>217347580I thought about this a lot, and an apartment complex would be really good. Gated area already built, and you could even smash the stairs below the 2nd floor. That would basically eliminate the threat of any zombies getting to you entirely. Only threat whatsoever in that case becomes getting in and out.
>>217348422Lol fucking contrarian moron
>>217348383>I've ever seen.>seen>its about consumerism and NOTHING ELSE THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED! THERE ARE NO OTHER INTERPRETATIONS POSSIBLE AND NONE THAT COULD CO-EXIST!Looks like a movie about zombies to me. Go ahead and tell me every Bond movie is about capitalism because the villains are always rich.
>>217348468sheep lol
>>217348461an apartment complex, you say...
>>217348365And I suppose you think young women go to Starbucks because they are coffee buffs? lmao.
DUMMIES! DUMMIES!
>>217348503You're seriously fucking stupid.>the zombies are at the shopping mall because they used to hang out there, the movie isn't an opinion on consumerism it's actually about...well I don't know okay???
>>217348503>>217348480He literally says it himself you mongoloid fuckwitshttps://youtube.com/watch?v=4pc61PdFff8&t=2247s&pp=2AHHEZACAQ%3D%3D
>>217348961>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_the_Author
>>217347580Realistically, any tall fence with a padlocked gate is enough to keep zombies out. Most school buildings would suffice. The only reason it doesn't last in the films is because the survivors always have to contend with stupidity and panic in their own ranks.
>>217348961I choose to disagree with him.
>>217347426all romero movies are fucking retard commie shit so yes they are all the same idiotic shit
>>217349173So that's why every movie, book and tv show are viewed as having homosexual undertones now? Got it, thanks.
>>217349296If enough press against a chain link fence its coming down.
>>217349368>a chain link fence its coming downYeah, I think that happened at the end of the prison arc in TWD. But I was thinking of something like picrel. It's not very high, but zombies can't climb.
>>217347580>Go upstairs and bring any supplies you can>Destroy all means if accessing upstairs except a ladder that you can retract>You are now untouchable by zombiesYou could get on a boat, but if you get too far away from shore and something happens to your engines then you're 100% fucked. You're also susceptible to human raids, but that's true regardless.
>>217348961This was retconned in after the fact and isn't lore accurate to the script as it was written- Romero is infamous for this type of thing decades later
>>217347426I thought it was about stopping a movie dead in its tracks and completely ruining the vibe of the film?
