Zombie, sopravvivenza e comportamento umano


The myth of the "Zombie " Western no longer has any relevance to that of Haitian folklore, where we Zombie was referring to those who were manipulated by certain priests who made people fall into a catatonic state, checking the soul through a Voodoo ritual (Wikipedia Docet) and over the years because the myth has been westernized and incorporated into our culture through film in the first place, but also books and games that dealt with the topic. If you think you think of the Zombie living dead, what a night "dark and stormy" comes out of his grave in a dark cemetery, walking lopsided with a whitish color, shreds of clothing and flesh hanging, which is strange and verse and sometimes stupid, of course, insatiably hungry for human flesh. The stereotype of the Zombie is described in the films of George Romero , making this icon famous horror in "The Night dei Morti Viventi ” del '68 e, 10 anni dopo, nel '78, col forse più famoso “ Zombi ” (Dawn of the Dead). Nonostante i suoi non furono i primi film che trattarono l'argomento, oserei dire che è proprio grazie a lui che questo fenomeno cinematografico ha preso piede, Italia compresa con i capolavori (e non) di Lucio Fulci . Dal classico Zombie poi se ne sono derivate delle varianti negli ultimi anni (a volte di infima qualità), quali ad esempio “ The Mad ” del 2007 dove chiunque mangiava un particolare Hamburger si trasformava in Zombie cannibale, oppure in “ 28 Giorni After "(2002) and its sequel" 28 Weeks Later "(2007) where slow Zombies are replaced by people with anger running like hell as combine harvesters and quartered .. In short, the background textures are more varied, many times you search for a ca use "original" to justify the disease-Zombie, but that turns you turns you always end up in the usual film where a group of survivors trying to survive as they are served the usual dishes of blood and carnage. There are few films that deal with the topic but in a truly original, trying to put over the concept mentioned above a well-constructed and thought out plot.

Ho sempre pensato che negli Zombie-Movie ci fosse qualcosa che ci rispecchia nel profondo, mi riferisco ai sopravvissuti, ai personaggi dei film ancora sani ed alle loro meccaniche di sopravvivenza, dalle più prudenti e ponderate a quelle più violente ed istintive, riescono sempre ad attrarci ed affascinarci, perché sono sicuro che a chiunque è capitato almeno una volta di provare ad immedesimarsi ad un sopravvissuto di uno di quei film. Credo sia il fatto stesso di esser costretti a vivere in una società che non è più tale, di vedere come le convenzioni morali e sociali crollino sotto gli smembramenti di un orda di morti viventi (LoL ho fatto la rima), non ci sono più regole, si è costretti a sopravvivere scappando, nascondendosi, e se necessario combattendo ed uccidendo chi è già morto. Avresti mai pensato tu, Mario Rossi, di dover staccare la gamba di un tavolino per spaccare qualche cranio mentre cerchi di farti largo fuggendo? E Mario, dimmi, avresti mai pensato di vedere la città in cui sei cresciuto deserta, senza più macchine, con gente barcollante che cammina guardando nel vuoto tra uno schizzetto di sangue qua e là? No Mario, non credo.
Si lo so lo so, sto facendo di tutti gli zombie-movie uno stereotipo generale, soprattutto dei B-movie queste caratteristiche “classiche” si ritrovano sempre, ma è necessario per arrivare al punto chiave della questione: vi siete mai chiesti DAVVERO come vi behave if you were FORCED to address this? Why
happen very often think, "But look what a bastard, he could help" or "But why go there?! Idiot now we end up dry, "or" I could not shoot him .. "and so on, and I think any of us can really judge the actions and decisions of these people, because they are really in a very specific situation certainly impossible in reality, but absurd, unthinkable, that sweeps away unexpectedly without giving the time to make conto.E precisely why I wonder, are so out of touch certain behaviors? Humanity remain unchanged and compassion in the minds of people? Survival would lead a quiet home to shoot in front of a Zombie? You buy the coolness and clarity to do what is necessary to survive?
I have noticed that, apart from the classic group of survivors who go wandering in search of refuge or a classic supermarket, we can distinguish two types of behavioral changes: the imbalance el'Illuso.
Let me explain: The imbalance is the one who realized the situation that has now created, uses, takes the ball to get rid once and for all of the moral conventions to which it is normally subjected, and in my humble opinion, the imbalance is the one who will look Fun in such a situation. course, the priority is to survive, but how can we forget the group of motorcyclists having fun raiding and killing in "Zombi " ? Or snipers in "Day of the Dead " having fun to shoot some undead simply to "kill" the time? Eventually the imbalance that can make her a world first it was not, can leave her every wish, and why not, frustration, repressed: houses are now deserted because of race, the roads are free and then take the way you want, Shops are open access, ditto for arms, and you have the ability to KILL , human instinct that has always been part but, fortunately, rarely comes out in this society. But the company is no longer the same, the world has changed and now everyone is guided by his free will.
The deluded instead is that character that he realized that despite the wound, the zombies popping up, trying to maintain a calm abnormal illusion that the situation is under control, maybe barricaded in the house, and trying to live as normally as possible, under the illusion that the threat "External" will never affect the solid on the boards nailed porta.Attenzione because sadly deluded is brought to live like that, very often by the time passing and the inability to change things, remember in "28 Weeks Later " , for beginning of the film, the group sought refuge in a house that now survive in a more "normal" as possible, or in "28 Days Later " even better, the father and daughter who lived on the top floor of the barricaded palazzo.Il problem is difficult to figure dell'Illuso survives, if there is something that affects the aura of normality that has been created around himself, in fact referring to two films just mentioned, the first end badly since the sudden onslaught of zombie-rabid, and the second one managed to escape thanks to the fact that the protagonists are able to make contact with the father and daughter, which plugged into their home were forced to live almost normal, waiting for someone or something that did change this unhealthy status quo.
So now in a world so different it's hard to find something normal or right to acquire the behaviors that survivors .. It 's true that they try to find a temporary solution to rescue their lives, but it is also true that during this search and this route are forced a fare cose indicibili se considerati nella loro vita precedente, dove il mondo non conosceva la piaga degli Zombie. Quindi, per concludere, quali sono alla fine gli istinti reali? Quali i comportamenti giusti da attuare? Non basta aiutarsi e aiutare chi ne ha bisogno. Gli Zombie sono bastardi, ti costringono in situazioni in cui è necessario prendere decisioni “sbagliate” ma FORSE giuste in quel momento, ti costringono a uccidere, è inevitabile.
Sinceramente non mi meraviglierei a vedere che un nostro amico che normalmente è mite e riservato possa diventare un maniaco assassino, o al contrario che un amico a cui non daresti tanto credito potrebbe alla fine salvarti la vita in situazioni pericolose. La risposta possiamo averla solo vivendo una situazione del genere, ma ovviamente è impossibile, quindi chissà.. Rimarremo col dubbio di come potremmo “trasformarci” in un mondo invaso da morti che camminano, magari in uno di loro.. Chissà..

Il Trailer postato qui sotto è di uno dei film che, a mio modesto parere, tratta nel modo più divertente il tema degli Zombie, dissacrandoli completamente, e no, non è " L'Alba dei Morti Dementi" ma "Fido" dove dopo anni di guerre contro i non morti, uno scienziato inventa un collare che trasforma gli Zombie in pacifiche creature adatte ai lavori più comuni di casa, rendendoli praticamente delle Colf. Da vedere :)

Ancora alieni e ancora alienazioni


I had promised, I have not had too much time to do it before, but for a lucky coincidence, I bought the DVD this movie a few small change to a market and I convinced him to speak properly.

is well known that Oscar make you " rosicare . Unless you are a fan of the mainstream (and often not even that will save you) or a sheep movie, your favorite movie will never win the golden statuette. In my case, some more radical points of view, I always saw him lose miserably films that I had enjoyed most during the year the film. Often there are some movies never even arrived at the Oscars. But that's okay. This year, the landscape of
Academy Awards for us a very interesting challenge, perhaps too many worthwhile films in competition, for disparate reasons.

giant blue aliens with the technology, the film by politically engaged women, the spotlight of alien minorities in South Africa, the "masterpiece" of Tarantino, a walk in the rough slums of the African-American culture in the USA, Yankee Doodle actors and the losers of the Pixar blockbuster tears. You would not think, but they are all films that I very much appreciated!
But I always point to the lame horse, is one of my characteristics, and this year it fell to the expensive and ill-treated: District 9.


I thought about this film, comparing it with its "nemesis" Avatar , but would be too restrictive, so I will devote only a few lines to this argument.
The first impression I had of District 9 was "Wow if Cronenberg had read the script for Avatar, it would draw that conclusion! . The two films have much in common, but develop the same themes in a molto differente.
Il discorso di Cameron rimane collocato all'interno dell'estetica della perfezione mentre questa produzione indipendente scende in profondità e non si lascia accecare dalla possibilità di un lieto fine hollywoodiano. Mi spiego meglio.

Entrambi i protagonisti del film si muovono (uno liberamente, l'altro coattivamente) tra l'umano ed il sovrumano . Il soldato che sfrutta le nuove tecnologie per perfezionarsi tramite il suo gigantesco avatar alieno si trova nella stessa posizione del povero impiegato che muta, ora dopo ora, dalla sua condizione di umano a quella di “ fuckin' prawn ”. Entrambi acquire a different understanding of their condition, are to raise the institutions that have supported until shortly before, the same that have betrayed them and try to overpower the alien population. Racism in practice. The protagonist of
Avatar wants to change the body, or rather, want to improve your body worse. In D9, however, the protagonist is robbed of its condition of satisfaction (work, family and psychological) in response to a social change that involves. Racial integration becomes bodily integrity, physical and pathological individual and becomes part of the alien race . Because I thought

David Cronenberg in ? He is the director of " body" for excellence in film and District 9 is a very "physical". As in "The Fly ", the protagonist undergoes a metamorphosis that is represented in an excellent manner by the apparatus of film special effects.
This metamorphosis, however, in the case of D9 is not only physical, but as we mentioned, sociological . Wikus ( Sharlto Copley), just because it represents the Earth's diplomacy is forced to "take the role " aliens and then empathize with the problems of their race. Again, these are issues that they treated in Avatar (the same sequence as the final battle between the bad and Wikus duty epilogue is very similar to Avatar, given the presence of mecha robots in both fights), but the film Cameron is less attentive to the social dynamics and more intent on creating a parallel reality and fantasy where the viewer can live and forget their problems (not solve).


Now, let's dig a little in the territory of District9 drawing any conclusions from its constituent parts.
The film is undeniably a particular sci-fi movie . Despite does not continue on the themes alien invasion, its like that, it is peaceful or warlike. In fact, the aliens seem to D9 of the castaways. The opening sequence where the land expedition explores the inside of the mothership that stands out above Johannesburg reminds us of a hypothetical news service titled " a new landing of refugees on Lampedusa . We do not have the canonical image of the technologically developed aliens that descend from the ship triumphantly proclaiming " come in peace," Visitors are not . They do not even grotesque appearance of brains of Mars Attack , though! To be aliens, they are very humans.
No one explains the reason for their coming, we know only that you must live with this population foreign to our culture and our customs. The situation there is very familiar, just think of the immigration problem that has occupied the front pages of newspapers worldwide for a century now. In short, the intergalactic refugees are here to stay and we must get used to this situation.

This brings me to develop a view on form.
District9 The film is nothing but the phenomenology in an attempt to solve a social problem, namely that immigration . The fact that it is set in South Africa There has to think of the 2010 World Cup but to a problem, perhaps overshadowed by this event stressed that, as the 'Apartheid . The film follows a historical situation of the past, the segregation of blacks in South Africa, returning all through the magic of cinema, following the awesome insight Tarantino in his latest film "Inglorious Basterds . We can change history, but only with the power of imagination, and give a different outcome to a tragic event that has struck us deeply.
South Africa has a " second chance" to rectify their past mistakes, instead stumbles exactly the same problem without finding a solution.
The issue of "District 9" how to lock up the ghetto alien forms is not the solution, this form of segregation, as the film shows us, is nothing but a receptacle of violence, crime and hatred. The real solution to this problem is that, indirectly, provides Wikus. The philosopher Leibniz

and, later, Kant , we speak of a feeling that men have in common. The first discussion of this option explicitly to solve problems, the second deals with the Critique of Judgement may to justify the communicability state of mind of every person. Both of agree on a passage: you must put in the place of , hear what the other feels the pain of others and participate in the best way to understand it.
Wikus becomes alien, alienated (as Feuerbach would say ) on whether , radically changes your body, so that, at the end of his personal life, he prefers to give priority to the salvation of what has now become his people, rather than cure the condition that afflicts him. In phenomenology
immigration, Wikus has been able to better understand the situation, which had failed before metamorphosis to do, and acted effectively to resolve it. Wikus is a symbol of racial integration and District 9 tells the story.
No love, no blue aliens and no happy ending. Especially for Wikus.
