“ Confusion reigns at the WGON television studio in Philadelphia by the phenomenon's third week, where staff members Stephen Andrews and Francine Parker are planning to steal the station's traffic helicopter to escape the city. Meanwhile, police SWAT officer Roger DiMarco and his team raid a housing project where the residents are defying the martial law of delivering their dead to National Guardsmen. Some residents fight back with handguns and rifles, and are killed by both the overzealous SWAT team and their own reanimated dead. During the raid, Roger meets Peter Washington, part of another SWAT team, and they partner up together. Roger tells Peter that his friend Stephen intends to steal his workplace's helicopter and flee, and suggests that Peter come with them. They are informed of a group of zombies trapped in the basement, which they assist in the grim job of destroying. “ Quote:
You think it’s a stand-off with the police at first, a typical gunfight breaks out. But then they discover there are rooms full of zombies that were sealed up ( “ Not that room, NOT THAT ROOM!” ) and then the basement where it’s obvious that they are keeping them locked up and restrained. |

I loved the concept of Dawn of the Dead being about a group of survivors turning a shopping mall into a shelter from zombies. I feel like that would be the perfect kind of shelter for obvious reasons.

Supplies and protection from slow-zombies... but lousy protection for a few foks against a big murading biker gang.

Speaking of "Day of the Dead", that used to be one of my favorite movies by George A. Romero and it still is, but I find it very strange that some people actually view Captain Rhodes as the real hero of the movie. I mean why??? That guy was clearly a villain! He was a murderous bastard on a power trip.
I guess those people must have hated the other characters like Sarah, John, Billy, and Miguel because they were a liberal-ish collection of united colors. Yeah that must be it...

Oh and as for Dr. Logan, I thought of him as a villain too but not as a particularly evil one. I mean for one thing he never actually killed anybody unlike Rhodes, and his biggest evil was basically chopping up already dead soldiers for his experiments and using them as dog food to reward his zombie specimens like Bub. It was very inhumane but you can't deny that he was getting results unlike Sarah and Fisher and I don't think that the scientists and soldiers ever considered for a moment that the zombies they were taunting and experimenting on were once human beings too. I saw him as more of a mad scientist but compared to somebody like Rhodes he wasn't as evil.

If Dr Logan asked, the soldiers may have been willing to donate their own bodies (when/if they died), being it's a pretty desperate situation. It was fine for Sarah to research for a cure longterm, but the scientists had to be working part-time on some practical results, if for no other reason than to save their own skins. One of the more interesting things in the movie was Rasta guy, who presented an interesting case for enjoying a life as a human on Earth, and leaving "chasing of useless answers" alone. He had a pretty good speech. Not that I'm saying I agree with it, but part of the sentiment I do. |

Oh and I didn't really agree with John's view on life I was more on Sarah's side because I believe it IS mankind's job to figure out how the world works. But then again that might just be the atheist in me talking lol. I believe that in the long run science is supposed to do a lot of good for the world and I think that Sarah felt the same way as a scientist even though she wasn't accomplishing anything. But I did like the fact that she and John could still be friends and cooperate for survival even though they had different opinions about the world. That is the real key to human survival: learning to work together despite your differences.

Another character I thought was interesting was Steel. He was kind of like Rhodes because of the way he treated Miguel like garbage for being Hispanic and Sarah for being a woman, but unlike Rhodes there was still a bit of humanity left in him.
Like when Rhodes ordered him to shoot Sarah for trying to walk away you could tell that he didn't want to actually shoot her despite the fact that he didn't like her but he was willing to do it just so that Rhodes wouldn't shoot him. He was also deeply effected by seeing two of his fellow soldiers get killed and having to mercy kill one of them to keep him from coming back as a zombie. Then there was that scene of him getting bitten by a zombie and realizing that there was no chance for him so he did a cross sign over himself before shooting himself in the head as the zombies kept approaching. That was a very powerful scene in my opinion. I guess I actually felt more sympathy towards Steel than I did Rhodes. He was an asshole too but unlike Rhodes he seemed more redeemable.
