I just recently saw the film “Warm Bodies” and I
must say it is a good film. The film’s genre is a paranormal romantic zombie
comedy film. The film is set somewhere in the future after a zombie apocalypse
wherein people strive to survive. Don’t get me wrong, it is not a horror film,
but rather a different type of romantic comedy film. The story of the film
revolves around R, a highly unusual zombie, who wants to do something more in
his life, and become more than what he is. During their hunt for food, R bumps
into some human survivors and he, along with the other zombies, feast on them.
As soon as R laid eyes on Julie, one of the human survivors and the daughter of
Colonel Grigio; Leader of the Survivors, he quickly falls for her. Which is I
know, sort of unusual because he is after all a zombie. R then saves Julie and takes
her to the airport, where all the zombies live, and to the plane where he
lives. During their days together, the two were able to bond and Julie sees
that R is different from the others. R’s heart soon slowly starts beating again
as he spent his days with Julie. He started to become more human. As the two
started an escape plan to take Julie back to the other humans, they were
blocked by corpse, who were nastier than zombies, but was able to escape. As
soon as they got to the garage, they were blocked again but this time by the zombies
but as soon as the zombies saw Julie holding R’s hand, they started to feel
something. When Julie and R stayed the
night at one of the abandoned suburban houses, R confesses to Julie that he was
the one who killed her boyfriend Perry, and upon knowing that Julie was
disappointed. The next day R found out that Julie had left him. Back in camp
with the other humans, Julie tells Nora (Julie’s friend) the story of R and how
she sort of misses him since she left him. Julie was shocked when he saw R
outside of their home; she let him in and introduced him to Nora. When her father
found out about this, he was furious and planned to kill all the zombies
immediately. During their battle the humans found out that the corpse where the
enemy not the zombies. They teamed up and R was able to save Julie from a
corpse attack. Julie kisses R and his eyes turned blue. When Julie’s father saw
R and her together he shoots R but was surprised to see R bleeding, he was
human again. After that the corpses were killed and the zombies and humans
lived together once more, the end. I liked the movie because it teaches us that
there is still hope, even in our darkest time, we can still find a even single
heartbeat that can make all the difference.
