MY THOUGHTS
Night of the living dead
circa 6:47 I have one of those:) I got mine traveling the motherland. Woosah moments!We're coming to get Nike , Nicole, He's over there:)
The first thing I want to know is what either of you will do if a man tries to scare you at a cemetary like that.Great Trivia Nike, the first film was Night of the Living Dead, the last was Ganja and HEss. Dwayne Jones did an interesting role in a film around the City College of New York.
Ladies, night of the living dead 1968 is one of those old black and white movies that is rarely shown. In the war film categry think paths of glory. A legendary film, like Night of the living dead, but one that predated the 1980s media surge, and didn't have the annual television power like star trek/twilight zone/its a wonderful life
Nicole, I think it is called listening to a story. The USA during the late 1970s to today was raised on the idea that visual interpretations need to be scientifically honest aside plot quality. Before, people had the idea that special effects was merely entertainment, not a mandate .
Nike, I don't think Night of the Living dead's plot is so silly. The mist thing from space can be acceptable. But the movie's genious is the explanation to how this scenario came about is in the background, it isn't pushed forward in the story. The genious in the screenplay is, the focus on what do you do if the situation applies is the premise of the plot. The initial character is the woman fleeing from someone formerly dead. Why he is formerly dead doesn't matter. IT is alluded to but it doesn't matter.
Nicole, well said, they came all this way to abduct somebody. Are all humans jesus or something?
Yes Nicole, the movie forces the question of survival onto the audience. If you are into the story, you aren't interested in aliens or nuclear winds, you are interested on what you will do if surrounded by your parents/children/stranger in the street that are now undead and need you for food.
Good trivia Nike, interesting, Germany banned it for the blood. Outside the usa, the rearing of children or guidance of media is not the same as in the usa.
Yes, Nicole, but Grimm's fairy tales were softened versions of the original german tales meant for all ages, not just merely children like Grimms.
Nike, good point, the military is "heroes" in the story, and the usa film industry supports positive images of the military usually.
Nike, more importantly, than who survived is how they died, i think each character in or about that house's death served a narrative purpose on failure to survive and how it works.
good question on film influence Nicole
Ladies, Funny how Diahann Carroll was not allowed to be the love interest in Paris BLues in 1961 to Paul Newman or for Sidney Poitier to have a white female love interest in the same movie, while in 1967, Poitier has a white female love interest, who was to be fair, a teenager in guess whose coming to dinner and Diahann Carroll had her own show.
Nike, the sporting world in general was the only place black or white men had any battles in media. Your correct boxing was the only purely violent place.
I will give Night of the living dead a 5 then or now. I think the story or acting still holds up.
Nicole GREAT POINT, the reason they bring back things is cause they have fanbases and it is financially safer to make a remake over new ideas.
I comprehend your point but the financial model of film/streaming/cable wants the best return and a totally new story.
:) good memory Nike 38:59 your reaction Nicole:) thank you jesus, rocky horror picture showI agree to you ladies, but the reality is, when was the last time the top ten movies were all based on an original idea.
