Shallow

In class this week we have been watching Land of the Dead, so I will not be writing about my readings since we didn’t have any. I never saw this movie before this class, and I don’t even think I’ve ever saw any zombie movie before. To be honest I don’t really watch horror movies, not because I’m scared or anything it’s just because I don’t really like them. I would rather sit back and laugh at a comedy film of just get tied up in the suspense of an action film. So since this is new to me I have to admit it’s not to bad, the movie is not scary but it can be gory at times, like when they show all the zombies eating all the peoples skin. Besides the horror and the gore the movie also critiques the American society. When Cholo tells Kauffman that he wants to buy a house in the nicest part of town and Kauffman then tells him that it’s not the right place for him. This is just like the United States right now, many people have the impression that poor and low income/class people are worse then them. This is not true, just because somebody doesn’t have as much money as someone else doesn’t make them better. Although the rich person can afford the nice clothes and things on the outside the poorer person often has the nicer interior. They are the ones with the warm heart that would be willing to help anyone and everyone even though they could use help themselves. It’s things like this that make me realize how shallow people can really be.
