Dawn Of The Dead 4K 1978 Ultra HD 2160p

Story Movie

The nightmare continues. After fleeing the horror of the dead in a helicopter, the four travelers are forced to land on the roof of the mall. There they find food, shelter and trouble - a multi-storey store from top to bottom crammed with stupid walking corpses.

While having fun shooting the dead, people do not even suspect that in just a few hours one of them will become the one they kill so easily - a carnivorous zombie, and a little later a gang of thugs will come to the store, making no distinction between the living and the dead, whose only desire is lust for profit and violence.

Review 4K Movie

The slogan of the picture makes it very clear that the dead will thoroughly press the living people. They will squeeze from their home planet. And after all, the logic is simple, for where else to push people from the earth, since there is no room left in hell?

In the yard - the end of the 70s. America is enjoying the fruits of a consumer culture. And, from Romero's point of view, this pleasure went completely different from where it was originally directed by the bright and utopian dreams of ordinary people just some conditional decade ago. Society is at a dead end, not otherwise ...

A real crisis has already matured in the country. The crisis is, without a doubt, comprehensive, but first of all, social. A crisis that has managed to turn into a global mental pathology. That acute stage of pathology, when the consciousness of an individual individual has already become so clouded that a person does not see the actual problem in which he is stuck up to his ears.

There is very little time left before the fatal outcome - here the hand of the clock will pass the last circle to the fatal mark, and the whole world will collapse. So much so that afterwards it is not possible to collect and piece by piece. The collective consciousness that has taken over the reins of power is that gloomy world of the future that director Romero is trying to recreate in his film.

However, the mass media completely cut off even the meanest opportunity for freedom-loving creators to convey the terrible truth to the minds of consumers.

Nothing can be done about it - this is how the information business works in general, and the media - and even more so - a dark conglomerate of domination, mainly focused on obtaining super-profits.

In such conditions, it is definitely not necessary to widely swing a creative brush on the subject canvas. As an option - to spill more fake blood, and to feed the viewer with excellent meat, alas, also decorative. Although the blood and flesh in the film look unrealistic, grotesque and frivolous, daring to scold a movie for this and only for this is bad form.

After all, unless a fool understands the obvious - this picture, like any work of Romero in general, is not about meat and blood, but about living people and problems that have eternally dominated humanity - social tragedies, survival and the search for their place in this harsh world.

And yet, Breaking Dawn is not trying to completely depressed the viewer. It should also be remembered that this story is not only about the difficulties of survival, but also about how people, remaining simple and almost helpless mortals, find the strength, albeit at their last breath, to cope with these inexorable cataclysms.

"Dawn of the Dead" is the director's second metaphorical message about pressing problems of society. The message is that humans are by nature adaptable to environmental conditions. To a greater or lesser extent, but still - opportunists. The creatures are an order of magnitude more amazing than any zombie and stronger in spirit than any plague of mass destruction.

This is Romero's main message: this world will always send trials to humanity, and each time their number will increase, and their character will become more aggressive. And large masses of people will continue to die from more and more calamities. And, nevertheless, there will always be separate groups of individuals who will surely survive.

And they will not survive because they are some special, chosen or marked with a lucky star from the sky, no. These people will survive, because they themselves (and only they) decide what to do - survive, or die - put up with their fate, succumbing to the influence of the collective unconscious state, or adequately overcome these mass social psychoses and unrest, but in the end - stay alive and free.
