My reply was more aimed at the title of the post and its sentiment. “Pick a side”

I’m not a believer that there are only two political options for the US, long term, and would love to see a true political multi-party representation in the US government. I believe that something not completely (EU) far left will prevail in the US. And absolutely not the (US) far right. (Perhaps I’m just being a wishful fool, and the US will crash and burn in the next 1-5 years. Hopefully, we can make it out of this mess without doing so. But if it has to happen, so be it.)

I will say, I thought similar thoughts nearing the end of the movie. But after analyzing it again, and incorporating two explainer video perspectives and takeaways, I realized that it didn’t suck as a movie. It just wasn’t what a lot of people thought the movie was going to be like. (There was also a fair amount of British symbolism throughout the movie. And as a US dude, a lot of it went right over my head.)

A lot of people (myself included at first) thought that 28 years later was going to have strong tension building, ‘not everyone is getting out of this alive,’ run and gun filming technique galore, and a lot of bloodshed. A tune to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. But we got something quite different from that. We got a movie that plays off the elements of parenthood, coming of age, morality dilemmas, empathy for Isla (the mother of Spike the boy), and many more things. It was a slower paced movie as the main characters weren’t having to fight, hide, and stay alive for another day. Remember, this movie is set 28 years… later. It’s stated in the movie at some point that nearly all of the zombies are dead now, but that doesn’t mean that it’s completely safe to go about your merry way. Infections still happen.

An element of sci-fi in the movie that I really appreciated was the evolved zombies. The ones that were part of the Alpha’s pack were quite different from the other zombies we saw earlier in this movie, let alone in the previous movies. These were smarter zombies. And I thought that was pretty cool.

One of the pillars of the movie, in my opinion, was what Dr. Kelson stood for and what he did. Dr. Kelson sees the infected and the humans as alike. His entire monument is in remembrance of all and features the bones of both. The infected are humans, but are sick. They can’t help it.

If you were confused about the ending, the connection was that the boy who escaped the zombie invasion of the house at the beginning of the movie, is now Sir Jimmy Crystal. The reason he and others are dressed up in colored track suits is because of its resemblance to the Telly Tubbies characters, which was the show the kids were watching at the beginning of the movie. It’s symbolic of holding on to your childhood.

So, as you can probably see now, the movie was set up with much deeper meanings and wasn’t your typical zombie movie.

What if I informed you that there are more than two options, and they don’t have to be extremities? And what if I followed up by informing you that what we have in the US, for a political spectrum, is not the norm elsewhere in the world?

Ayoo. Another Tom Scott fan. Rad!

Tom Scott for sure kept video quality high and standard over the years. I miss him.

These dudes were definitely high on something when they saw this shit, then decided to write about it. What do you think the “burning bush” was actually?!?

This is some serious, weirdboner material.

Not bad when you consider that Google has about the same (or longer) update delay.

Well…this “neat part” is really ruining my life.
