Subtlety is not the man's forte (which you seem to point out in your review).<br /><br />Regardless of that quibble, this and NIGHT are still great, seminal horror Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-56558964532807801952010-08-10T13:50:41.997-04:002010-08-10T13:50:41.997-04:00Excellent analysis of what I always considered to ...Excellent analysis of what I always considered to be Romero's masterpiece. There are so many ideas and fascinating themes explored in this film and yet it can also work on the level of a giddy horror film with some impressively staged gore gags courtesy of makeup legend Tom Savini.<br /><br />As for the role of zombies in this film, I think it is significant that their depiction acts as a Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-81187372243257197742010-08-10T09:34:46.075-04:002010-08-10T09:34:46.075-04:00It's my fave too -- the best film about consum...It's my fave too -- the best film about consumerism since <i>2 ou 3 choses que je sais d'elle</i>.<br /><br />There was a remake by someone else a few years ago.

I like the social commetary on consumerism and how the four humans must organize an order in their group. The last time I watched it I thought it was probably inspired by Hitchcock's <i>Lifeboat</i> as this microsociety that must pass over social bondaries in order to survive... or like a <i>Lord of the Flies</i> kind of MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.com
