i absolutely love the idea of society collapsing upon itself. one day i hope it will happen.
i'm obsessed with apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic civilizations, i.e. zombie films. zombies encompass a number of metaphors such as the history of consuming flesh, conspicuous consumption, war, new world orders, biological warfare, gore, the list goes on...
most importantly the zombie film pairs two disparate elements. zombies are post-modern. they differ from slasher films because they make us critique society. zombie films pair the biological mechanism of fear with that of a logical analysis for the films meaning.
so, with that....
