Warm Bodies
"What am I doing with my life? I'm so pale. I should get out more. I should eat better. My posture is terrible. I should stand up straighter. People would respect me more if I stood up straighter. What's wrong with me? I just want to connect. Why can't I connect with people? Oh, right, it's because I'm dead. I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I mean, we're all dead. This girl is dead. That guy is dead. That guy in the corner is definitely dead"
The movie starts exactly like we do when we wake up, questioning ourselves what are we and what are we doing with our lives. Identity crisis was a main subject, the fact that he can identify what people were working when they were "alive" just by how they look reflects how soulless our lives could be.
It is a zombie movie but it's so out of the ordinary zombie apocalypse, it doesn't even bother to explain how they got there: "I struggle to piece together the clues of how the apocalypse thing happened.He came from a chemical warfare, or even an airborne virus ...Or an outbreak Radioactive monkeys?But it does not matter. This is where we are now."
The dilemma of the death or life, bodies without a soul struggle finding a purpose. Imagine you're not alive because there is no heart beat nor blood flowing in your vanes, but you're not dead too because you still have your body moving. What would you call that? not able to feel or have any sort of emotions until one day where there is a spark inside of you, so you should hold into it with all what you have because that will be your link to become fully "alive" again.
My explanations to the movie is that shows us humans how would we become after a long road of not expressing our feelings and emotions. This emotional repression could lead us to be just "corpses", pressed by society,beliefs and religion we would become pale and affection-less and live by nostalgia and looking back to old day; "Must have been a lot better before,When everyone could express themselves, communicate their feelings". Or even worse we could totally give up on ourselves one day, giving up our emotions and feelings and becoming "bony boys" stripped out of our humanity; "We all become them one day.At some point you give up, I guess.Lose hope. After that, there is no turning back."
Hopefully there is a Julie for every hope-needing R that will save us and make us "change".
"They say that once you're affected by the plague there's no going back but that's about to change."
