So this week I saw “Warm Bodies”, which was a very unusual
film.
It stars Nicholas Hoult, who is also starring in the
upcoming adventure/fantasy film, “Jack the Giant Slayer”. He plays “R” who is a very uncommon
zombie. The film is set sometime in the
future after there has been a huge zombie epidemic, where the remaining humans
are fighting for survival. But unlike
“The Walking Dead”, this movie has some cute humour to it by adding a funny
twist on a classic love story. During
one of his zombie escapades, R meets Julie who is a human survivor, and he
saves her from an attack. This is very
strange because zombies don’t have thoughts or emotions, and it doesn’t take
Julie long to discover that R isn’t like the rest of the zombies she’s
encountered. She spends some time with
him, and he shields her from the dangers outside, and they begin to form a
special relationship. R increasingly
becomes more human, and it seems to have awoken something human inside of a lot
of other zombies. R and Julie believe
that they may have discovered a cure to this epidemic, but they need to
convince her father— who is kind of like a commander in chief to the zombie
battle on the human side.
I’ll admit that this film is a little weird, but it touches
base on some more important values, such as love, human connection, and
hope. There was a lady sitting in front
of me who repeatedly kept commenting on how “silly” this film was. Yes, it may be a little out there, but I
think that’s what makes it good. It’s
quirky, original, and I can’t compare it to any other movie I have seen
before. I would recommend you all give
it a shot and see this movie! Maybe it
doesn’t seem like your cup of tea, but you may surprise yourselves!
Here is a four minute clip from the beginning of the movie!
It’s pretty funny!
