“The Night of the living dead” is movie directed by
George A. Romero and it is about two siblings going to the cemetery; once there
they start being attacked by what looks to be a zombie. From there on, everything
becomes chaos. Dead people come to life and star looking for human flesh; it becomes
a survival situation.
Many people especially horror and zombie fans
consider this movie sort of a masterpiece due to it been the first movie to
influence later horror and zombie movies. Despite the acclamation for the
movie, there are some things that could be said from another point of view.
Even though, the plot and theme might seem perfect, there were some elements that
threw me and some of the audiences off the intensity of the story. There were
mainly sound defects combined with lack of fighting scenes preparation and
sometimes extremely overacting especially by the leading actress.
Romero really started something back at the end of the
60s but there were those little technical things that happen to any movie that
makes it not achieve perfection. Despite those little problems overall the
theme and plot were really interesting perspectives of human life and behavior.
The idea at the end that none of the main characters survived was a nice touch,
reminding us that sometimes “you can’t save everyone” or also sometimes “life
is just unfair”.
