Ug. Defiantly not a movie I would care to see again. Could have gone my whole life without seeing at all and I would have been fine actually.
Anyway, really, the movie. It was in black and white, which I don’t have a problem with at all. Some of my favorite movies are black and white. It’s just that this one seemed to do so little in the amount of time that it played.
Within the first twenty minutes of the movie I wanted Barbra to just shut up. Then when she finally did she was so out of it that I would have just put her in the cellar so she was out of the way. Mr. Cooper I wanted to die with his first two words. He’s such a jerk! And the way he keeps thinking he knows everything or tries to always be in charge is so annoying!
The one person I liked was the only one you never learned the name of. The tall black man you meet twenty some minutes in. He was the only sensible person there. Of course they thought he was a ‘murderer’ so killed him in the last five minutes.
The other girl, Judy, she was another odd one. From the way they talked it sounded like she had almost a problem with leaving places. They said how she didn’t want to leave the house with a flood, the she didn’t want to leave the house with zombies coming after them, wonder if she would have left the house had she been in one of the evacuation zones in Jersey for the hurricane.
How did it relate to the book? Well for one there were both about zombies. (duh) Two: Each had a guy who thought that he was doing what was best for the group when really the weren’t (Jack from the book and Mr. Cooper from the movie) Three: there was a girl that the main guy was trying to protect in some way (Delkalb was trying to protect Ayaan from war the best he could, Mr. Tall-and-Dark tried to protect Barbra from the zombies, Mr. Cooper and herself) Another thing - backing up here - how come the zombies in the movie walk so slowly but in the beginning when Barbra was being chased the guy seemed really agile? And what time was it? On the TV it was always light and the Chef gunman guy said that they would hunt all night - in the house they had just been saying how it was ten to three - so why was if always so dark at the house?
Well that’s all for zombies (except for the class discussion of course). Next week, Vampires - and not the sparkly kind that skipped their basic biology class. Real vampires.
Like you ever read the book about sparkly vampires. You're reading Dracula next week?!? Advice: the first part with Jonathan is boring. Basically, if you get that Jonathan is very thick and takes forever to figure out that Dracula is a vampire you don't have to worry so much about that part. Mina's annoying, Lucy doubly so, but you'll get through it because Quincy is the cutest character.
